None of you have, ya Germanics!

Man, losing an election because of pneumonia is exactly what I could expect from this election. It's dumb enough, here's hoping it doesn't go down like that.

That's a very good point. The kids' perspective is very different from the X-Files conspiracy theory the adults deal with, having more to do with primal evil and fantasy. Same with the teens, they all have their own motivations and goals.

Yeah, I played the Often-Ending Story, but I didn't realize it was originally separate. That explains why it didn't have anything to do with the plot. I was thinking it was kind of clue for a bit.

I played this and wholly enjoyed it!

I have a pretty good time with Refn's movies. They are pretty shallow, but he tends to come up with surprising visuals and thick atmosphere often enough. I haven't seen this one yet.

Yeah, Freaks and Geeks is tremendous.

Maybe you had too high expectations. We watched it an episode at a time over two weeks. The acting is good, especially surprising with the child actors. Individual story beats are potent even if there aren't twists that separate it from what it emulates. I think the world is well built and cohesive and I like how the show veers away from technobabble and lore, using the kids' language instead. I never expected it to be more than entertaining.

Huh, yeah, that trailer is excellent.

I managed to do it with just one kill but I was noticed twice and didn't do anything elegant. I spent most of my time looking for the target and after a frustrating half hour didn't have the patience.

I watched a few minutes of the Giant Bomb Quick Look. Look really strong. No idea about the puzzles though.

Well, it rings and attracts attention. EDIT: Man, the game just stopped working for me. I get the green Windows message box and the Steam overlay works, but apart from that just a black screen.

All of the stuff you unlock work on all levels!

Ooo, that new stream looks interesting. Do you guys have interest in doing a Contracts stream where you do Steve's contracts and maybe a few from the readers?

Here's the one I made a while ago hoping to get Chris to stream it. I forgot to write any clever text for it, though

This wasn't exactly Silent Assassin, but it was quick! The other was easier with the security outfit. I think I'd rather watch Chris do these than do them myself, though.

Yeah, and they have that Trumpalike dude spouting nonsense and small touches like that. I don't get that impression at all, although I haven't gotten any mentions about cat walks. Those would obviously be off.

Cooool, we gotta get on this.

I toyed with that idea, but there wasn't a way to share contracts. Is there one now?

I've only done two murderous rampages. Proper kills aren't very easy in this one.

You could go for the suit only challenges... I've never done it, though, sounds tough. I played an hour or so yesterday, just being a crazy murder guy. The new level feels really, really good. I'm sick today, so more Hitman for me.

I only started it. Seems sweet though.

I managed to get all members of Dumbo Rock into space early this week. I played on Chillax Basebuilder and can't really said it felt that easy. I had some crazy stuff going on a lot of the time, even though I only lost one colonist. He went berzerk after partner turned him down (he turned her down earlier) and was trampled by one of my muffalos. Those muffalos were heroes. They didn't turn their backs on my people even though they kept getting shot accidentally. Ruslan spent the rest of his days braindead on a couch after one incident. Does this game have spoilers? If it does, so does this post. I was almost constantly steel-starved. Eventually this led me to tackle the ancient evil building close to my base, just because it was made of steel. Fortunately there was only one robot inside along with a bunch of caskets. I deconstructed all of it for steel. I knew the pods would likely spawn something nasty so I built walls around them. However, turns out they were just filled with hurt people, mostly slaves. I didn't really want more colonists, though, and these people were bloody useless. I don't do organ harvesting or such, so I just left them in the snow. I didn't think much of it. Pretty soon I started having trouble with one of my colonists, though, Temples. I wish the game remembered where I got these people from. I can't keep track. Anyway, he kept going into poor moods no matter how fancy a room I stuck him in. Turns out one of the pod people had been his daughter. Whooops. I don't even understand how that's possible. He was really crushed even though his daughter's ugliness diminished his love... So Temples was causing trouble much of the time. I didn't get many raids toward the end of the game, but I did have cold snaps, drones and solar flares pretty often. Temples started wandering around naked. One time he was almost eaten by a wolf. He also first tried to woo one of my colonists and then insulted her, causing a fight. After he went berzerk I was pretty fed up. I had started building my ship. It was tough going, though, with little steel. Eventually I finished my first pod. This solved Temples. I had planned to boot him out and leave him when I had enough pods ready for my favourite people. I cannibalized my entire base for steel. I replaced heaters with fires. I removed lamps. I searched for every piece of furniture and autodoors I had accidentally built out of steel. I actually replaced a lot of furniture with plasteel because I had plenty of that. I melted down art. When I didn't need as much electricity, I took down a geothermal reacter, wire, solars panels and wind turbines. Eventually I did find enough steel for everybody. Except the muffalos.

I was worried about that the whole time. I get those often in dx12 mode.

The radio is tough. For me it used to bug out by alerting everyone as soon as I had it selected. I never use it, I try to find faucets and such.
