    Oh, Green Man Gaming. Got this email yesterday about how some UK law is going into effect and requires the website to ask its users to opt-in to their stuff again:gutvgw4vz4bu.png

    I clicked on yes and:

    @Coffey as you get more popular and stream more common games, I suggest looking into turning on Stream Delay or switching screens while queuing to prevent sniping. It is rarer, but it does happen more often than you'd expect.

    Sniping?

    Viewers joining the same game session and using the streamer's stream to pinpoint them in-game, with the intent of killing them or griefing. (Inappropriate language over voice chat would be an example of griefing)

    Basically the same phenomenon as looking at another players screen in local-multiplayer.

    Some things that could be considered stream sniping can be pretty funny to watch (personal opinions may differ), but it's mostly disruptive and rude at best.

    That'll teach me to post something and then immediately go grocery shopping for an hour!

    I dunno. I think it's maybe tacky, but funny. But then, I do have a juvenile sense of humor.

    Usually I immediately claim my Humble Monthly games for the next month, but I'm holding off for now. I've actually not been playing much on Steam these days due to revisiting my DS and playing more on my SNES Classic.

    Also, I still need to play through Dead Rising 2 and 3 before I touch 4.

    BOTP, repost for new

    They had Outlast 2 on sale on Humble last night, with the sale ending just before this month's bundle dropped. I bought it on sale, and then hours later got another copy of the game dumped into my library. I emailed Humble asking for a refund, hoping that they can just remove the extra bundle key from my account and refund me my purchase.

    Accept your fate as the sacrifice Span, it's the only way.

    Bless Humble, they say that they will issue a refund within 3-5 business days.

    Okay, I finished Blood and Wine and got 100 % achievements, so I must finally say farewell to Geralt of Rivia. It's a bittersweet experience, because this game was a masterpiece, but like with all great titles im sad that adventure is over. I will definitely remember characters, dialogues, all the great scenes and maximum feels created my bonds between Geralt and his friends.

    But I must say, I was surprised by BLOOD AND WINE ENDING SPOILER

    Sooo... a couple hours into it, I just want to say Distortions is amazing.

    It's the lovechild of What Became of Edith Finch and Guitar Hero, fostered by Hellblade. And it's stupidly gorgeous, with beautiful music. And a fair bit of The Feels.

    Picked up a bunch of DLC I was missing from Crusader Kings 2 while it was on sale. Snagged Reaper's Due, Monks and Mystics, and Jade Dragon to be specific.

    Started a game in 769 as Sigurd Ring while I go familiar with the UI again and fairly quickly subjugated enough land to form Sweden as a kingdom but the actual money to do so took quite a bit longer. So there was more conquering and one case of sending a sister or niece off to China as a concubine for the emperor. Had one son after the one he starts with so the realm didn't split too much after his death and it was a pretty standard Sigurd start minus trading a relative for favor with China.

    Ragnar Lodbrok started his reign by joining the demon worshipers and declaring war on his brother who had broken away with a one county duchy. Unfortunately I used the wrong cassus belli and made him my vassal instead of the one that would have exercised a claim on the county myself. He was a thorn in my side as a result and I had to fight multiple duels with him. The wound I got in one led to an infection that probably contributed to getting scurvy on Ragnar's first raid by sea but after recovering from that raiding was both frequent and lucrative. Didn't take long to loot an epic (purple lettering no less) +2 axe from Ireland. And Ragnar housed a fleeing Chinese courtier who gave a gift of a nice jade amulet that boosted building times as thanks when the danger passed.

    Charlemagne never got his act together, as in most games, so the Karlings split into a number of kingdoms and fought so much against each other that Saxony survived as Germanic. Unfortunately at one point a Slavic high chief saw the King of Saxony as weak and subjugated the entire realm. Fortunately said king then died in battle during a rebellion and Saxony split off again with a child ruler so I subjugated him and a short war later Braunschweig's Germanic holy site was back in Germanic control. Claims were fabricated to take other holy sites from the rather large petty kingdom of Sjaelland giving me the holy sites needed to reform the Germanic faith. Moral authority would take a bit more time but could be done by raiding Ireland's independent counties and burning down their churches.

    The piety needed was more problematic due to, uh, that whole demon worshiper thing. As long as I turned down missions to desecrate my own temples I could balance what I needed to reform the faith and accrue dark power. And captives from raids that their lieges didn't want to pay the ransom for could be sacrificed in great blot celebrations for piety instead of for demon worship. Eventually Rangar did have to slow down some of the demon worship though. The first demon summoning went great with an unholy blessing that gave +3 martial. The raven familiar was handy. The fertility boost after an orgy where one of my military commanders died was kind of a mixed bag. Especially since another demon summoning resulted in an unhappy demon that magicked away Ragnar's dick and left him a eunuch. That actually was convenient as Ragnar already had two adult sons with good stats and didn't really need any more that would divide the realm on death. Getting hit with Frailty and the persistent case of TB from magical corruption was a bigger issue though. Still, he managed to burn down enough Irish churches and sacrifice enough Irish and Slavic prisoners no one loved to get enough Germanic Moral Authority and piety to reform form the Germanic faith so that the Norse could spread the gospel of Odin and Freya to the Slavic people. And the frailty was dealt with after a friend from the demon worshipers gifted Ragnar with a hunting dog that was just a dog and regular exercise training it restored his constitution. He passed on a budding empire that extended from the west of Finland to the Northwestern part of Germany to his sons when he passed away from a combination of old age and demonic corruption.

    Also, he traded a daughter to the Chinese emperor for favor.

    You know, all stuff detailed in the Hervarar Saga.
