So this is my current chill out and relax game.
Sure that says something about me.
dusk if your wandering.

Maybe we should make Traveller more like Star Wars.
Okay, letās add a rebellion and a great civil war.
Sure, but can we make it darker and edgier? With all the communications problems, no one should know whatās really going on or who to side with. And everyone can be equally awful, too.
Thus Megatraveller.

Besides the Megatraveller bujdle, theyāre re-releasing the New Era bundle.

Print-and-play (demo) versions of board and card games? Sounds interesting. Only drawback is that things are split up in separate files, so depending on how much you want to download it could take a while.
(Also, Catan is there as a category, but all thatās in there is some coloring book pages and a small set of tiles to convert the game to an Easter-themed one)
In other news, Cards Against Humanity released a print-and-play family-friendly version:

I was really happy to discover tonight that Remnants of the Precursors is now in beta. Thatās the one thatās a really faithful remake of Master Of Orion - updated graphics, sound, and UI, but same game elements, no new features or complexity. So my next week of free time is now booked for my Meklars conquering the galaxy.
Iāve already fallen victim to ājust one more turnā and itās over 2 hours later than I thought it was.

Word on the street is that GTA V will be free on the Epic store tomorrow. If youāre one of the six people who havenāt played it yet and need to cause some lockdown mayhem, it might be worth a puntā¦

If anyone is into fighting games, Injustice: Gods Among Us is free on Steam, Playstation and Xbox (I believe via backwards compatability for the last one). Not sure for how long, but if you ever wanted to punch Batman in the face, it might be your best chance.

Between these, 9 big bundles. Rather eclectic, but including Eclipse Phase 2, among others. Pretty sure the BLM ones go to the international one.

Just installing all the steam keys took up a good amount of time.
Hit me up if anyone wants Bioshock Remastered or Kerbal Space program

I have a corsair harpoon. Itās a decent mouse, but for some reason, it doesnāt work on a macās boot screen. Probably not the greatest concern if you donāt use a mac, but interesting, nonetheless.
One of my side buttons is currently keyed to sniper mode. I should just turn it off-- keep hitting the button accidentally, and Iām not playing a game where it makes any difference.

>sigh< Sometimes I wonder why Iām still playing Shadow of Death.
I havenāt been progressing much, just grabbing the daily rewards, fulfilling my quests, and calling it done. Today one of my tankās quests was 10 rounds in Arena. The first five took me into Champion level. Once I get into Champion, I donāt do so well-- today I won 2 out of 5. But I wanted to videocapture one of the matches, since I beat a player above my āweight class.ā (That doesnāt happen too often these daysā¦ and it made me really happy.) Thereās a replay option, where you can see a repeat of the match-- but over and over, it shows me a match thatās almost, but not quite the same-- where I lose. I try the other match I won-- same thing. It follows the same pattern as the match, up to a point, then it takes a left turn at Albequerque, and it consistently shows me losing a match I know I won.
This argues that the replays might be generated by AI, not an actual record of what moves were made by the players and/or bots. (Which is interesting, but not the point.) I know itās just a silly glitch in a goofy game, but itās freaking me out a little bit. If it wasnāt for the fact that the wins show up in my match History, Iād be doubting my own memory right now.
Such a weird glitch-- or maybe Iām the weird one. But I think if I do play any more games onight, itās going to be something different.

I took a chance on getting a few games in the Steam summer sale this weekend.
Slay the Spire seems ok, I got through the first level easily enough. Definitely one Iāll play more. A good mix of roguelite and card-driven.
Hnefatafl is interesting, a bit like Terry Pratchettās THUD, itās an ancient norse abstract strategy game (try to get your king safely to the corner of the board or if youāre on the other side, try to capture the king). But my brain wasnāt in it. I lost badly. Itās in a class with chess, go, shogi, etc. Been too long since I played something like that. Need to play when Iām not tired.
Also tried one called AXYOS Battlecards, which is vaguely reminiscent of Magic: The Gathering, but set in a modern/cyberpunk alternate reality instead of fantasy. It looks like thereās potential for a game there, but as-is itās more like an alpha demo. Thereās no documentation, help, or mouseover hints. Still I won every single game against the AI, not even knowing what I was doing. And no one else was playing it in the online multiplayer. Luckily that one only cost 74Ā¢.
Also got Gremlins, Inc., Plaguepunk Justice (where you play a plague doctor healing zombies), and Blood Bowl. Havenāt tried any of those yet. Leaves me something to look forward to.
Tried Skullgirls last week; seems an ok fighting game but the keyboard controls are quite difficult. Need to either get my old controller working again or get a new one to play a game like that.

Iāve picked up (yet again) Kerbal Space Program.
The last time I seriously played it was a long while back, before the DLCs and the atmospheric changes. Also, the Career Mode save I finally started after getting my mods back to my preferred point has been extremely stingy with contracts, preferring things like ātest such-and-such on an escape trajectory from Kerbinā right from the start. So, Iām extremely happy with my recent win: Iāve gotten a ship into orbit and back, splashing down reasonably close to KSC (I didnāt have enough Īv remaining to fine-tune reentry so I overshot by quite a bit).
Also juggling Hitman 2 in the rotation (which I got for my birthday), and the recently-released final version of Superhot: Mind Control Delete. Hmm, I seem to be preferring games with long periods of slow planning mixed with short periods of frantic panic at the moment.
