I finally have a stable burgeoning population! And everyone's eating and drinking.. The water is under control.

I know, I know, it's going to end horribly.

I *do* have a possessed child who's manically made a yak bone coffin whilst under the influence.. But I'm sure that's fiiiiine.

Fort number 2.. Everything is undergound lakes. Can't get down to any rocks. It seems to me I should pay more attention to the startup screen. Soggy dwarves.

Still alive though!

Got myself Dwarf Fortress to see me through the Crimble period.

Might track how that goes here for posterity.

My first effort, everyone died of thirst during a hard winter. Next time: make more booze.

Just finished Triangle Strategy on the switch.. Basically a tactics RPG from the people who did Octopath Traveller.

Got the outer worlds for switch..

Wow it's so good to go back to a game like this but with Obsidian's writing. I knew I was going to enjoy when I was planning my second run before I'd left the character creation screen, it will be a "stupid" run as picking a low intelligence character unlocks more dialogue options. And that feeling proceeds throughout the game because there are choices in the game that definitely make you want to go back and try the other forks.

I'm enjoying it! And escapism isn't a bad thing right now :)

Portugal!

Portugal this year! No kr0n, but lovely to spend a quiet week with family and friends. I very much needed a holiday of relaxation rather than activity and this was it. Note to self, really must try and have more time off work before August in future years!

Games taken this year:

- Hive. My favourite, much back-and-forth in my games with Moj.
- Sushi go. Excellent fun (even if I'm bad at it).
- Coup. Popular although I'm not so fussed.
- Skull. Always the best choice after a few beers.

Spending a week with Lou, my niece was fun. She is a terror. Spend much of the time distributing shells. Got soundly told off when I put mine down about the place. She brought it back and gave me a sound telling off.

Otherwise at home managed to finally get shot of our large fridge, the kitchen feels much bigger now!

I played a quick game of $GAMES_WORKSHOP with [livejournal.com profile] cha5e at the weekend. Ostensibly to give him a neutral opponent to play against to get his head around the modern-era rules.

Now I find myself looking at army lists and thinking about tactics.

This comes on the back of the recent indecent where [livejournal.com profile] zombificus innocently got me to play a little Magic the gathering.. Which was swiftly followed by me finding myself with a deck of new cards in my sweaty palms. It's kind of like I'm regressing back through my old gaming addictions.

Richard Morgan (guy who wrote Altered Carbon and Market Forces) has been contracted to write some games for EA. Interesting stuff! I hope this will be a growing trend which will make gaming even more absorbing than it already is.

I STILL want Bethesdia and China Mieville to team up and make a Bas-Lag sandbox game.. But I'm guessing that I'll just have to keep waiting on that one.

So I've "completed" fallout 3. I think that means I'm about 30% of thw way to finishing playing it :)

I've finished Final Fantasy 12! I can have some measure of my time back!

However... I do have quite a few things I didn't do yet, so I may play it some more. Maybe just a bit.

So the new Elder Scrolls game is out at last (I spotted it in Tesco today). So has anyone seen it yet? Is it as good as morrawind?

And when I ask if anyone has played it I'm excluding the guys who write penny arcade:
