So for some odd reason my main pc all of a sudden refused to see my os drive. It worked fine this morning but 2 hours ago it booted directly in the bios/uefi. After some fiddling, cursing, and rebooting it suddenly boots just fine only to reboot half-way during a game.
The drive works fine and has zero issue when I checked it with my laptop, so why Asus? WTF?!
When Starfield was announced I wanted to play it, however paying €75 for the base game is just too damn high. Luckily I found a 'demo' ;)
Anyway, the game is basically Fallout in space (and on planets). It actually looks like Fallout 4 with HD graphics, and thus runs smooth on my pc.
The thing that irks me are:
- The faces when speaking lack emotion
- The writing of characters & scenes, so far, feels bland
- Simple fetch quests without any surprises (yet)
- Simple story
- Answers don't matter
- The wastelands (and there are plenty) look just like Fallout 4 only more alien-esk
- Some weird grayish filter inside buildings
- Ship is unable to access anything but pilot seat in space, only when landed you can walk inside and access more stations.
- Load scenes galore! Luckily not too long though
- Baldur's Gate 3 looks better (probably cause it's isometric)
- The Witcher 3 (2015) & Red Dead Redemption 2 (2019) looks better!
But it has good things too:
- Ship can be build into any shape and size
- it uses less cpu & gpu resources than Baldur's Gate 3
- Mods are easy to install
It's a wheelie heavy Fanatec CSL DD 8Nm. But it is also very sturdy. And you can change the wheel, add a shifter and/or handbrake, and more stuff. Of course it wasn't as cheap as a Logitech.
Last week I noticed some tiles were loose in the bathroom and behind the toilet. Since I rent, the housing association sent some third party people over.
The bathroom was fixed in a few hours and the toilet (separate of the bathroom) had to be disassembled, which took only a few minutes. However, when the tiler was done after an hour, the plumber took over 4 hours(!) to come back and then had took a personal phone-call for 10 minutes before I asked him to, you know, do the job.
He assembled the toilet and left but ..<drum-roll>.. I noticed it leaked at 2 places. So I called, he came back.."fixed" said leaks. Annnnnd..it still leaked.
I called third party company to complain and the next plumber did fix 1 of the leaks but he told me he couldn't fix the other cause of the part not readily available. This man was at least honest and clear.
So now I gotta wait for a part to arrive and then fixing my damn toilet. At least it doesn't smell shitty ;)
