(one of my fav games, I have over 800 hours play time :skull: )

i made it through that on level 32


thanks to the automatron mod kinda, since i had Ada as companion


now i did Hunter/Hunted with Paladin Danse, also a tricky one, especially the courser who used many stimpaks lol so i had to fire many bullets at him

F1 24

as Benetton F1

me: Adriano Rodriguez (BRA)

and my teammate is Oliver Bearman (GB)



also my livery looks very accurate, light blue with a bit of yellow and green



must say it is a lot smoother than F1 23's controls, i notice it especially in the tricky turns of Bahrain


my first qualifying

10th place on the grid, and Bearman in 22nd/last place but still in one of the trainings he was 15th fastest on the grid :)

Rise Of The Tomb Raider.

According to the walkthrough I am about half an hour away from beating it.

I like the story and the platforming, but the last third of the Game just gets excruciatingly annoying imo.

In particular the stealth elements are awful.

Having calmed down from my irritation towards the Game.

I always give credit to Games that can irritate the living hell out of me whilst I'm playing them, but keep me coming back for more.

Because I am a very prickly person with my Games (to very much a fault,) Games can lose me very easily if they start to irritate.

But I want to beat this bastard of a Game, which is a credit to the Game that it's got me in a stubborn mood.:laugh:

Bahrain Race (F1 24)


wow that was an exciting race, Bearman not much he could've done, 20th (last place, with 2 DNF's, Magnussen and Norris)


and i WON, after a strong battle in the final laps with Verstappen :D

Nicky91 03-04-2025 08:11 AM

i also won the Saudi GP


now currently Australia


i gave Bearman more hours in the simulator, and it kinda paid off already a bit, he is faster than in Bahrain and in Saudi Arabia



but our quali was one to forget, i was disastrous either in the rain, me 21st and Ollie 22nd, also not that much time apart from us :fan:


in 3rd practice, Ollie even not last place, but Sargeant, so yes i am keeping him, and continuing to work on upgrading the staff facilities for him

Mystic Mock 03-04-2025 08:20 AM

I'm replaying GTA V for the first time.

Tbh it has aged weaker for me compared to what I thought of it back when I was younger.

I do still think that it's a decent Game, but a very flawed Game too.

Tbf you might struggle less than I did.:laugh:

I'm not the best at playing Games.

Hopefully you'll enjoy the Game when you get around to it.

Fallout 4 now with Cait as my companion


love her irish accent, also she is good with a shotgun, i've also given her a pipe pistol for short range combat


and i could use her breaking and entering skills with her bobby pins, in terms of snooping around in certain important areas to the Institute



as for who i align myself with

probably the Railroad, as i like their cause, freedom for all synths


i am little bit undercover-ish within the Institute and father is stupid enough to make me their leader


whenever they give me the order to eliminate the railroad, i'll betray the institute, and then i'll deal with the brotherhood but those are powerful allies for now to keep around in the commonwealth to keep the peace

Nicky91 17-04-2025 01:11 PM

F1 24

Miami sprint quali


disastrous result for me :( i had problems with my car, and when those were solved, i went out in rainy conditions, so i was totally ****** compared to everyone who set solid times on slicks

i q'd as 17th, and Bearman q'd in 16th



the sprint race, not much i was able to pull off in 10 laps, i finished as 15th, and Bearman finished as 14th, first time he finished ahead of me so that should give his confidence a boost i think


Verstappen won (and also fastest lap) with Norris 2nd, Piastri 3rd


Verstappen now only 22 points behind me, but i don't focus too much on the drivers standings for my debut season, as long as i end up top 8 of constructors which is my main goal, with my sponsors

Nicky91 18-04-2025 12:26 PM

Miami quali


OMG not me q'ing as 22nd/last D: Bearman in 21st



the race

well rainy start, and then dry, had to switch from inters to hards, i finished as 16th, and Bearman in 20th, with two DNF's (Piastri, Hulkenberg)


Norris winning the race, Verstappen 2nd



drivers championship

1. me/Adriano Rodriguez
2. Lando Norris -3
3. Max Verstappen -4



Benetton F1 in the constructors currently 4th place

Nicky91 20-04-2025 01:59 PM

Imola


i can understand what those drivers irl must feel like in very wet conditions, i had to start the race on full wets, and still i spun off the track, was able to recover but fell from 10th to 22nd position, so i had a lot of catching up to do towards the rest of the cars

luckily in bad weather, everyone struggles, so i was able to pass 6 of them relatively easy


i went from full wets to inters on lap 13, and in lap 23 i was able to go from inters to hards as everything was dry and sunny then


and in the end, i WON! my 3rd win of the season, first one since Saudi


1. Rodriguez
2. Verstappen
3. Leclerc


Monaco up next for me, the one track i truly hate to the core so far in past F1 games, am curious what i'll feel about it on F1 24

Nicky91 20-04-2025 02:00 PM

also a great comeback after a disastrous weekend in Miami


:cheer2:

Nicky91 23-05-2025 12:24 PM

Spider-Man: Miles Morales (PS5)


have it as of today



this is good fun, more fun than the first Marvel's Spider-Man game tbh (which i kinda found too difficult for my liking) but this is easier yet still amazing gameplay, also love doing some different combinations of moves, and the Venom Punch is TOTALLY EPIC!


as for the suit, i went for the classic dark miles morales spidey outfit :D similar to into the spider-verse

Mystic Mock 27-06-2025 04:08 AM

Vectorman 2 - It's been a fair few years since I've played the first Vectorman Game.

I'm on the final boss at the moment (I'm playing it on the Megadrive bundle,) and it has been really challenging but also really fun.

Regardless of whether I can beat the Game or not, it has been one of my favourite Video Game experiences in awhile.



I also tried a few levels of the first Streets Of Rage on the Megadrive bundle, which was an alright Game, but the controls were just a bit dated for me.

But Vectorman 2 has been really good.

Nicky91 03-07-2025 12:58 PM

F1 24

still in the lead somehow :fan: Adriano Rodriguez, a 4 point lead over the no.2 Max Verstappen in the drivers championship


having said that, today i ****** up at qualifying for Monza, an unsafe release had me with a grid penalty to 22nd place :worry: and Ollie Bearman outqualifying me for the second time this season


also whatcha think of our team name (with help of AI) #RodBear

Mystic Mock 08-07-2025 12:40 AM

Rod Stewart having Bear sex is very Baldur's Gate 3.
@Nicky91















But it is a cool name imo.

Mystic Mock 11-07-2025 05:25 AM

I had been playing Mario Kart World over the couple of days, it was alright imo.

And yesterday I saw my Brother play the very first Phoenix Wright Game (just to go off on a tangent,) and I again do think that it's an alright Game.

I do just believe that I've lost my love for Japanese Media at the moment though, as I just can't get into certain characters and themes as I've got older, compared to when I was younger.

For example to go into spoilers
Spoiler:

in the first case, Phoenix Wright has help from a woman named Mia (who is the chief at the law firm that Phoenix Wright works for,) and she is between 25-30 years of age, which is still quite young tbf.

She looked like she was going to be an interesting character, she's normally the type of character that I like in fiction personally speaking, but at the start of the second case Mia gets murdered (without going into too many details,) and instead of getting a more mature leading lady in the story, she gets replaced with her Sister who's called Maya.

Maya is about 16-17 years old if I remember the dialogue correctly, but she looks and behaves like a 12 year old, it's typical of the Japanese writers to bizarrely favour kid characters over adult characters, even though adult characters in general are far more interesting to follow.

Nicky91 11-07-2025 07:55 AM

i bought Star Wars: Outlaws (Special Edition) yesterday, since there was a discount on it

It does look like a decent Game.

began with it this afternoon :hee:


it looks like a lot of fun, visuals are deffo on point to the series Bad Batch


also thankfully there's subtitles with all those different languages :joker: :joker:


few funny moments as well, like knocking out one guard :fan: in front of the club's office


Spoiler:

the blaster firing controls are also not that hard, and the lockpick it does take time to get used to, but i just randomly pressed R2 many times and that works

Nicky91 12-07-2025 01:41 PM

i am loving this game, also you can deffo see same 1970's technology used for the visuals as with the films

feels very cinematic



am currently at
Spoiler:

Toshara, and specifically Miresana




the creators of this game definitely weren't making just a game, but this feels soooooo crucial to the canon franchise



also some funny bits in there, where you can hide in the grass, whistle to lure a guard towards your position and then punch him knockout :laugh: but
Spoiler:

i suck at avoiding the camera's LOL, so i had to shoot several guards :fan:

Nicky91 13-07-2025 01:51 PM

alright, tomorrow i gotta disable the lockpick rhythm minigame, in game settings


way too difficult for my liking, and thanks to AI telling me you can turn this off in settings, i feel much better already


that is the only thing i dislike about this game basically


but reputation with factions, omg similar to fallout new vegas :amazed:
