    Only about 8 years too late...But I'm definitely going to have to give it a go

    Hey, I'm rewatching that now! Not sure if I'll be able to make it into season 4 where I tapped out last time.

    Just a heads up for anyone who loves Fallout New Vegas, theres a huuuuuge new mod coming out for it in the next few days thats been in the work for years called "The Frontier".

    Complete with its own steam page and installation:

    https://store.steampowered.com/agecheck/app/1356060/

    Theres been a lot of DLC sized mods for Fallout games in the past but this seems like it might end up being quite abit bigger than that if it lives up to the hype.

    Heya folks, starting my stream here shortly. I'll be playing XCOM 2: War of the Chosen for (hopefully) 12 hours until this time tonight. Currently have enough sacrifices volunteers to fill out a 6-man squad, but we'll be needing more than that in the roster!

    Commander difficulty because I don't hate myself enough to play on Impossible. No ironman, but that's only due to unforeseen instability issues that can potentially ruin a campaign, and that is never fun. Instead, I play on bronzeman rules, where I only allow myself one save and I do not scum it under any circumstances.

    This will be my first attempt at such a long stream (or any stream at all in recent and not-so-recent history) so hopefully all goes well. Both technically and saving the world, I guess.

    Wouldn't you just know it but I encountered technical difficulties which hard-locked my PC.

    I'm calling the fine folks who built it in the first place for some pointers, but will attempt to continue streaming throughout the day, but if I get another crash like the one before I may just have to relent because that cannot possibly be good for my compy's health.

    Edit: okay yeah so they're going to try and call me back for remote support later today, but worst case scenario is a return-to-base repair. Unfortunately I am outside of my original warranty for the system, so that will price into the hundreds. I can't afford that.

    If it is what I suspect it is - that my liquid cooling is not working for some reason - I think I'm just screwed on trying to do more load-intensive things like streaming on what is already a demanding process such as games. So I guess for today my stream is dead in the water, 'cos I really don't want to repeat the crash situation if it is heat related.

    That's pretty depressing, what with the anti-climax for the show. Sorry, all :(

    There's... gonna be a sequel to Carrier Command? And not counting Bohemia's foray with the somewhat ill-fated (but I still liked it a lot despite itself) Gaea Mission?

    https://store.steampowered.com/app/1489630/Carrier_Command_2/

    And... I don't want to feel too down about it but it really doesn't look super Carrier Command-y, at least visually. But I owe it enough to keep an eye on it. The original game is one of the all-time classics. 33 years old now, holy shit.

    That stinks, @EvmaAlsar. I enjoyed the 20 min I was able to catch. And the 3 rookie/1 Grenadier team was crushing it in the sewers, ambushing three OpFor and then having a Sectoid choose to shoot the computer console instead of mind-messing with someone!

    I just had a problem with my computer suddenly rebooting and then stuck on the initial motherboard popup screen but not able to even go into BIOS.

    Turned out that the little watch battery that keeps your BIOS settings when you turn the computer off went bad, and without that little 3.3V to keep the emergency lights running the whole computer grinds to a halt.

    Well the internal RGB and such remain on when powered off and I'm not even getting the mobo popup screen. No signal to display at all. It just spins up the fans and sits there.

    Left it completely unplugged for an hour and only difference is it spun up then powered off about 7 times in a row before settling down into starting and just idling again.

    Looks like I'm taking it to a repair store for my birthday tomorrow. Woo

    at this point it's probably better to just wait to see if the remaster improves anything (I'm skeptical that it won't just reuse the existing PC assets)

    If you like XCOM-style combat but want something a bit less stressful, TROUBLESHOOTER: Abandoned Children is great. It's fairly anime and the translation from Korean isn't quite 100% perfect but the gameplay is fantastic and there's a ridiculous amount of content for that price tag. Finishing the game (at least according to howlongtobeat) takes 100+ hours, and given I've played 60 hours and haven't even gotten to the tame a beast -mechanic yet I'm sure it's accurate.

    Okay so how does Steam Link work? I want to play a Lego game with the family and I have a PC thats hard to move in a bedroom, a laptop running OSX, a PS3 controller and a Switch Pro controller. Can I make this work?

    If I install Lego Marvel on the PC will I be able to stream it to my laptop through Steam no extras needed?

    I'll have to figure out the controller situation but maybe it wont be that bad. Worst case I should be able to find a dongle.

    I think this would be Steam Remote Play, not Steam Link -- Steam Link is for streaming to devices that don't run Steam, like tablets, phones or smart TVs (for the app) or regular TVs (for the box). From Steam app to Steam app is just Steam Remote Play. I haven't tried it from Windows to OSX, but between Windows PCs, you go into Steam's settings and check off "Enable Remote Play." Start Steam on both PCs and then the target PC's installed library should include the games installed on the host PC -- just run it like you would a locally installed game. The quality of your network will determine how playable it is; I think people usually recommend having both PCs on wired connections, either Ethernet to the router or through a powerline adapter.

    Most controllers work with Steam nowadays. Just Google Steam + (name of controller) and try to find a guide that's less than 1-2 years old.

    I was lucky enough to have a loadout that was shield city, so of course none of them spawned during the fight...

    Ah, I know what fight you hit then. Everything can be dodged but there are definitely some characters I wouldn't want to be for it (read: Hazel).

    Edit: Ran that route quick. ...I got a stupid deck that let me basically run Jam Slam and... a few other cards that consumed on use. My deck after the first cycle was just:
    Jam Slam, Doublecast, Refund, Refund
    Focus, Refund, Doublecast, Doublecast
    Shields Up, Refund
    Jam (lots)

    Utterly insane damage.

    If that's the same as a Boston Terrier then indeed he is and he too is awesome. He's actually been blind for almost 10 years so other than recovering his surgery, this isn't a big change in his quality of life. We're already thinking if we get another dog in the future, it probably won't be the same breed because he's been so awesome, we might find ourselves unfairly comparing a future dog to this one and that's not fair.
