RIP Valheim.... Steam updates game (even when using Thunderstore MM and NOT choosing to update regularly). Bepinx fails to start game. Check logoutput, sea of red (errors). Wiped everything, installed full backup of files (6-19-22....3 days ago) Savegame and profile in TMM corrupted; started up with only 7 mods active, and all of my progress destroyed. I'm done....

Got back into Valheim again. The HnH update really fucked with the building mods I had installed, so all of my land and sea-based structures were destroyed or are skeletal remains (buildshare-saved ones now useless). Took awhile to get every mod updated and/or edited. And still looking for a game-ready VRM model in the style of Red Sonja or a medieval fantasy female (warrior, mage, etc...) that isn't too toonified or anime-centric. A few attempts with PMX converting to Unity (versions based on creator's recommendations) left me with distorted masses and a hatred for overtly under-detailed instructional videos and those modelers that create models with extensive errors only proficient Blender users can fix. I must be getting old and stupid....sigh....

From what I've experienced from some 'attempts' to use the Custom Textures/Meshes mods, vanilla replacements are doable. Only with low-poly models and textures, though, unless the main asset files (and much of the vanilla shaders) are extracted, improved, and replaced. But a sex system (with addons) would probably mean some serious coding using BepinX, InSlimVML and Jotunn (these still need some polish and optimization for the best results), extended skeletons for any meshes altered/replaced, and an overhaul of some of Unity's Module DLL's in the Managed folder. I would also like to see 'HD' texture replacer modders move away from the vanilla resizing methods of textures and slightly higher poly meshes to a more pronounced quality as well. Less Minecraft, more Skyrim, as it were.

My 54th birthday is next week. Better see some awesome new skills, gear and an increase in loot percentages upon my 'leveling up'......

This is one game that should NOT have a nude mod until the base meshes and textures are redone! Ewwww.....

Just got into this game. The Site That Shall Not Be Named already has a nude mod (godawful character meshes and textures be damned!) as well as several other types. Github also has InSlimVML (a sparce mod manager) useful for AdvancedBuilds (prebuilt encampments and housing). Since it's so popular, I believe that many modders will eventually start to tackle meshes for bodies, weapons and armor soon enough.

Well, the cost of a new GPU is not really an issue, ATM. Right now, I've been running Cyberpunk on a 1060 6GB card without major issues (medium/high settings). But a friend of mine gifted me HZD on GOG; however she didn't remember I use Win 7, not 10. And unless there's a workaround for playing the game on a Win 7 OS, I'd be SOL until I find the best solution for 'dealing' with Windows 10.

So...must be my brain acting up again, or I'm tired. Burning question on my mind; Win 7 (primary) and Win 10 (2nd) dual-boot with separate SSD's or Win 7 with Win 10 as Guest Virtual Machine? Would like to keep Win 7 Pro 64 bit as my primary OS, but would also like to have access to DX12 exclusive games (like Horizon Zero Dawn) with a new GPU....say a GTX 2060 or higher. Too much conflicting info on what will work best (Google, Tech 'Pro' sites, Reddit, ...ad nauseum). @GimmeBACON -- Your Sig reflects how I see myself today --- ?

Reinstalled 7 Days toDie recently, just to check out the newest Alpha 19 updates. Quite a difference in graphics and gameplay from my last install (think it was A-16 or so), but much of my time in this version has been modding many aspects I found to be either lacking, missing or just plain irritating (the zombie bird's concussion chance is idiotic when wearing a football or military helmet!). And, although decent changes to the zombie's appearances were made as well, I'd expected the same for the character avatars. Dudes look better for the most part, but the women look like they've just stepped out of a drug rehab clinic, had a traffic accident driving home, and THEN were dropped into the game after a short stint in a hospital! Needs better model assets and work on the appearance sliders, but the devs have plans for this in later builds. Wouldn't rely on modders to fix such issues since this is still in an alpha phase, anyway.

It's BL3. One area has a rollercoaster you can ride. The screenshot was with the new Photo Mode ingame, which can make for some interesting views.

Sometimes, its the little things.....

Well, THAT was predictable, seeing how the Muso Sony Shell LLC mucked up the first wave of 'complaints'......wish YouBoobTube and Twatter could pull their heads out of their arses for once and actually police the targetted content. Most of what is being flagged or redone is within Fair Use or all the memes that have cropped up lately. Now I have a slight urge to take up golf (or at least a simulation of......), and my targets wouldn't be Dunlop or Titleist.....

There are several other Youtube channels, like HeelvsBabyface, Nerdrotic, Geeks and Gamers, and others that are going through the same shit. The fact that Sony now has dropped the strikes on many of these channels may not mean that the shitshow is over. Sony might try to restrike channels before the game is released for more 'damage control', which is hilarious.....the damage has already been catastrophic enough to ruin Pre-Order sales figures, and their idiocy in handling the situation is now widespread news. Of course very few of the mainstream gaming sites have enough spine to report the crap going on, being more interested in keeping their revenue streams unscathed. Fucking cowards.

I've donated mine for years to an organization that makes wigs for children with cancer and other ailments. Too bad I can't do it anymore since my hair's thinning, but I used to wait until my hair was down to my lower back before donating.

It is fun, sure. But I agree that the humour and storyline falls a little flat. Even predictable most times. And I also like the Moze character (starting on a 3rd playthrough with her again). I just can't get into the Amara one, and FL4K takes a little time to get used to. Oddest thing though is I actually had quite a few Legendaries drop in offline mode, much more than any of the other games. Think the use of Guardian points into Luck and Artifacts that also increase Luck helped in that accord. As for secrets in the game, one pissed me off towards the end of my second playthrough as I had never bothered to wonder why it was there in the first.
