Some people take their costumes seriously. :shrug: I'm not defending it, I was just pointing out 5 days ahead of time is still not a whole hell of a lot of time, especially if you've been under the assumption you were *not* doing anything for the holiday, so instead of having all month to work on it you now have only 5 days.

Also, Skyrim is gonna unlock in 4 hours and I want to watch Supernatural tonight, but I'm pretty sure Bitches the Stealth Archer will take precedence over whatever it is the Winchesters will be up to.

I was having steam login issues, then saw a new version of skyrim at the top of my games list and thought my account had been breached and someone bought some games using my CC. Took me a while to figure out it's a free update with a new title.

(it is free, right?)

Never mind, looks like my PC can't run the new version of Skyrim. Like, at all. Waaaaaay below even the minimum requirements.

Ah well, I was waiting for an excuse to get a new gaming pc anyway. It's not like I needed that money anyway :shepspends:

Yea, the upgrade is free if you have the base game and all the DLC.

If you get it on console though, it's still gonna cost you some cash.

the missus came to me with a true first world problem this morning

she can't decide between new shoes or Skyrim for the bone.

it's not like she'd have to wait more than a couple of days to get both anyway, but we're trying a new 'zero sum' budget and i'm being a real stickler for the rules, haha

can anyone recommend any good like nature enhancing / alchemy ingredients mod that she can check out?

It had been a long time since I've played skyrim, and have forgotten how bethesda doesn't like letting players have fun until they've taken you on a half hour long scripted tour to show off.

Also steam workshop support is missing, and replaced with the terrible in-game mod browser.

Videogames are dumb.

I want to play World of Warcraft because I'm rather close to a major progress landmark. I want to play Skyrim Special Edition because I want to see how pretty it is. I want to play Prototype because I mentioned it in another thread and, gently caress, I haven't played it in ages.

Not only do I not have time for three games, but I'm not the kind of gamer who plays multiple games at a time anyway.

Target is running a Buy 2 Get 1 Free on their video games from 10/30-11/5.

The same week my rent is due. I could technically afford it, but I'd be living quite frugally until I get paid again. This would be a way to play the COD4 remaster without giving them any money.

edit: Might say gently caress it and get Skyrim, Titanfall2, COD free.

If you haven't played in ages, its a good time to create a new character since you won't even remember what your last one was even doing.

I'm throwing a smallish party tonight and I've been looking forward to it all month.

The illness that I've been fighting off for two weeks finally hit this morning and my head is split open. I can't cancel.
Now I have to decide between painkillers or killing the pain with water and booze.

Edit: ^^^
I'm going to restart Skyrim but I can't think of a character concept I haven't tried before.
I may revisit a Kajjit pugilist or my Dark Elf "pacifist" that uses Illusion magic to make others fight for him.

Two big changes I noticed are a quick save feature and all your equipment comes back automatically after exiting werewolf form. Also the Gray Fox armour name changed for some reason. I'm sure there are other changes, I'd like to see a complete list.

I just keep getting flashbacks to loading up an old save and seeing "220 hours" and being shocked and disgusted at myself for putting so many hours into a game. Jokes on me though, cause I apparently have almost 900 hours in Cities Skylines.

Another problem: I went to the most amazing Korean restaurant and then realized I want to eat kimchi 24/7 so I went to the Korean supermarket and got a 10 lb jar for $15. Well, that was 5 days ago and I've eaten over half of it...

You cannot deny the Bowie.

I moved temporarily and couldn't afford to ship my PC, so I took it apart and shipped some of the components while buying new ones where I am now. One of these was the motherboard. Now Windows insists it isn't registered and is giving me no way to demonstrate that I am. :negative:

I really think there's something buggy about the statistics. Maybe they purposely make it seem longer to try to make you feel guilty and go outside (lol no) ... having just said and re-read that maybe I have actually put in that many hours. But on the plus side some of it was me modeling stuff. Nonetheless, :shepicide:

I have a pretty bad knee injury but I can still walk albeit painfully.

We have a Halloween party to attend tonight and I can't send my husband by himself since we have a couple's costume but I really do not feel like tottering around in heels all night with a bum knee, but I also would feel bad making him skip the party to stay home.

I got a vegetable steamer pot insert at IKEA for 50 cents but I keep over-steaming my vegetables :(

Every time I say or think about IKEA I think about the lady on Maury whose name unfortunately was IKEA. I laugh, but then I feel bad.

Resetting the keyboard on my iPhone has made it impossible to type. It keeps auto-typing the wrong stuff.

Chrome iOS still hasn't fixed the issue with type fields where it would snap to your cursor, which it doesn't do anymore.

Someone on some thread made a referents with to something in MGS5 that I don't remember but don't want to turn on the game again and am too weary to look it up.

I have a lot of complaints.
