Hello everyone. Hope all my fellow Americans are gonna have a good Thanksgiving next week. I had my birthday this past week which was fun and full of debauchery. Anyway I finished another playthrough of Disco Elysium, finally did 100% achievements after 5 playthroughs. I also played some Binding of Isaac, but I didn't play the new update. Have a good week everyone

Been traveling around and I've been using a mini PC to game. Integrated graphics have come a long way actually. I can run quite a few newer games on this little 400 dollar machine, but I save them for my real computer and only play older stuff that I can play at max settings- so I have been playing a lot of Oblivion.

I didn't have the ability to play Oblivion when it was new, and plus I always wander around and fuck around forever in those games. A decade ago I probably put 100 hours into Oblivion but did almost none of the main story, and spent a lot of time modding and restarting.

In the last year I decided to stick to near-vanilla on all Bethesda games so I can actually beat them. I only install UI stuff, bug fixes, and gameplay mods that fix REALLY dumb shit like merchants punching dragons in Skyrim, that sort of thing. I have also been using Alternate Start in Skyrim and Oblivion, which is just incredible. Can't believe I slept on that mod all this time, despite knowing it exists.

Now by following that philosophy, I am actually starting to make it through Morrowind, Oblivion, Skyrim, and Fallout bit by bit.
