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]

also a great comeback after a disastrous weekend in Miami

[Nicky91]

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 similar to into the spider-verse

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]

F1 24

still in the lead somehow 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 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]

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















But it is a cool name imo.

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.

began with it this afternoon


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


few funny moments as well, like knocking out one guard 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]

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 but

Spoiler:

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

[Nicky91]

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

[Maru]

Rune Factory 3 Special.. trying to clear some of my backlog

[Nicky91]

i finally got through the False Flag quest in Star Wars: Outlaws


damn that was so difficult certain areas




also some funny moments, i used a exposive crate to my advantage, how i let Nix rig that to go off, and honestly sometimes stealth ain't a option, when you got like 10 stormtroopers and couple of technicians in the area



also i went to see Gorak, he wants me to solve his traitor problem, LOL even if i have bad rep with the Pykes also he wants his ring back, well oopsie i pawned it at some merchant in the mirogana market, i needed credits to buy certain important items so



i am on Crimson Dawn's side (for now) also those space battles are awesome!

[Nicky91]

i am doing a Portsmouth rebuild, return to glory career mode in fifa 23


with Mircea Lucescu as coach, assistent i pretend is Adrian Ilie, former fellow romanian international


i signed Andriy Pyatov as goalkeeper, a reunion between him and Lucescu i also signed Karim Adeyemi as my main forward

with Andrei Florescu as backup forward


Ionut Biceanu as our maestro in midfield

[Nicky91]

new signings for me for Portsmouth

- Juan Larios (LB) from Southampton, for 15 million
- Bram Nuytinck (CB) from Sampdoria, for 8 million
- Charles Abi (ST) on loan from AS Saint-Etienne




i am making Pompey into the english Shakhtar and my first match i played, a friendly vs Perugia, we won with 5-1

[Nicky91]

love using microsoft copilot to come up with some fantasy tabloid headlines about my portsmouth career mode

[Nicky91]

Portsmouth vs Aston Villa

0-1 Alvaro Morata 20th (long distance shot in the top corner)
0-2 John McGinn 42nd (through Pyatov's legs)
1-2 Karim Adeyemi 63rd (placed shot)
2-2 Charles Abi 90+3 (header)



a draw against Villa in matchround 1, not that bad tbh



away vs Arsenal up next for me

[Nicky91]

Arsenal - Portsmouth

1-0 Bukayo Saka 37th
1-1 Charles Abi 65th



so two games in, two draws not a too bad start

[Mystic Mock]

Well done @Nicky91 you're drawing against some good teams.

I've finished replaying L.A. Noire.

I still feel like it's an underrated classic from Rockstar.

I did forget how long the Game was though.

[Nicky91]

1-0 Oleksandr Shevchuk (own youth talent, 16 yrs!!! a central defender, a nice one-two with Nakai)
2-0 Paddy Lane (assist by Abi)
2-1 Jean-Phillippe Mateta
3-1 Alexandru Florescu
3-2 Oleksandr Shevchuk (own goal)



keeping my streak going



now first european match in the conference, vs IFK Goteborg (at home)

[Nicky91]

1-0 Southampton Djibril Djenepo 53rd
2-0 Southampton Joe Aribo 61st
2-1 Portsmouth Claudiu Negoescu 68th
2-2 Portsmouth Claudiu Negoescu 74th
2-3 Portsmouth Alexandru Florescu 81st
2-4 Portsmouth Karim Adeyemi 90+1






now carabao cup next round vs Birmingham City @Mystic Mock, ooh vs your team now



and am currently 3rd place in the Premier League, although i still have to play against Arsenal, Man City, Man United, Liverpool, Chelsea so i'll likely still lose some matches but nice to be up there for now

Good luck against such an elite team.

[Nicky91]

Adeyemi's goal especially was a stunner, dinking it over the goalie


Negoescu keeping Hackett on the reserves bench with this form, also this is sooooo typically Lucescu, making lesser known players shine

[Nicky91]

1-0 Charles Abi 21st
2-0 Charles Abi 35th
2-1 Ryan Stirk 52nd
3-1 Takuhiro Nakai 64th
4-1 Tom Lowery 83rd



YAS me with kinda a b squad, i gave Pyatov some rest, so i let Philipp Menzel have his chances as the cup goalie, with Itakura as my reserve captain
