Hmmm. Maybe I should play XCOM 2 with some mods.

I finally went to Long War 2 instead of using like 200 mods.  Maybe I'll play that today... thanks for the idea.

I love the nods to Malcolm In The Middle and Scrubs. 

I'm like 60 seconds in and my first thought was "are they doing Malcolm in the Middle!?!?!?"

Schitt's Creek is a good show that has some really amazing moments and I think Alexis is an amazing character.  I completely understand why it cleaned up at the Emmy's after that final season.

*Laughs in Capitalism*

I have to raise $4.5 million for the obelisks/Pam's House.  My Greenhouse is now fill of ancient fruit and I have a shed full of kegs so I'm about to start making a ton of money will I work on the Ginger Island stuff and try to get the last few artifacts I need.

I think the cooking is going to take me the longest because I didn't know about Queen of the Sauce until midway through year 2, so I am playing catch up with the re-runs to get them all.

I think Haley and Shane have my favorite arcs / character development. Shane is a despondent, suicidal alcoholic when you first meet him, but once you get to know him he cuts back heavily on the drinking and is actively trying to be better.

I just kept giving Shane beer because he loved them and then he tried to jump off a cliff and I felt like a complete ass.... then I kept giving him beer to get to max friendship like the monster I am.

I needed a cigarette after watching this episode.

 

And I don't even smoke.

So who is the aerospace engineer Monica was texting and how disappointing is it going to be when its not Reed Richards...

 

I'm legit blown away by this show.

While I feel I am going to end up getting it, the issue I have with the Total Warhammer series is that I got into it kind of late and I don't want to spend a ton of money on all the DLC, but without out I feel like I only have half a game since I can't play as a bunch of races and don't have all the units available except for the Lizardmen (because I love them).

The Lava Eel is going to be the end of me, I've failed at catching it twice which is kind of expected since I'm not sure what it's pattern is yet, but I will spend like 8 hours in the mine casting and not even get it to bite once.

Krobus is the only one I need to max friendship with now and he is 1 heart away so probably in the next week when I just keep shoving horseradish in his face.

and 10 seconds after I post that I cast once, get it and catch it!

I'm not sure what the issue with fishing is, I like it.

My goal in the game right now, since my farm is basically making a lot of money with very little work from me now is to just kind of complete everything.  The Community Center is done.  I have max friendship with everybody in town except Dwarf/Krobus and they are both like 75% of the way done.  I have all the fish I can possible catch at the moment (except the Lava Eel) and I will catch all of them once the seasons/plot advance so I can catch the rest I am missing.

Cooking all the recipes is going to be a hard one, mostly because I had no idea I had to watch the TV show once a week to get one.  Luckily I can still get them and they air re-run episodes once a week so I can fill in the ones I missed.  I don't think getting the ingredients will be hard since I started stocking extra seeds and keeping a handful of each type of crop just in case I need them.

Fairly sure she was on the board, to the left of the main picture? only Anya wasn’t and they pointed out she was a new person. Don’t know if that meant anything.

She's clearly a 5000 year old ex demon.

I just started Episode 4, I'll probably post more thoughts when I'm finished it but I just realized something.  Phase 3 I was excited because I knew it was leading to the Avengers vs Thanos.  However, watching WandaVision/Phase 4 hits so different because I'm not really sure what to expect about any of it, even with a lot of the shows/movies being announced.  It is just super exciting and already off to a great start.

Super minor:

I took some vacation days this week just because I had them and didn't want to work.  I decided to finally buy Stardew Valley and I don't even want to admit how many hours I've put into it already this week.  It is so hard to stop!

I just hope I don't die night 1 again, because I have no idea what the hell was happening in that last mafia game

I almost never look at previews or anything (if I can) and like to watch shows/movies mostly blind.  I was super happy to see Debra Jo Rupp (which I probably should have expected to be honest) and Emma Caulfield on the cast.

I'm playing the Monster Train DLC beta and does it ever add a lot to the game without really adding a lot.

New clan is pretty confusing at first but really it's not harder than the Melting Remnant once you get used to it.  The other major addition is there are extra stops you can make for items/upgrades but each one you take makes the enemies stronger and spawn special upgraded enemies.  So far a big fan.

@RPSIf you're still offering help, what are your best tips for Monster Train?

Find ways to break the game and break it.

Seriously though, the ways to win are to have a dedicated solution to try and do all of the following:
Kill the Boss
Kill backline enemies
Kill the frontline tanks
Scale your units

There are tons of strategies for each clan and each combination of clan, but each run try and pick 1 or 2 and just stick with it and make it as strong as possible.  You do not always need to take a card when offered, if it does not help your particular strategy it is just a wasted draw which makes your deck weaker.

For example, say you are doing Hellhorned/Awoken and you go with the Hellhorned Prince that gets attack damage with each slay.  And you get an Awokened Hallow.  So your strategy becomes to pile heals on so your champion gets stronger and your tank stays healthy.  This basically ruins bosses and frontline units, so then you find ways to deal with the rest using spells or other units.

If you have any specific questions feel free to ask, even if its just like a card you think it worthless and don't know what to do with.

Wait, those will actually be free?  Darkest Dungeon is recommended for sure.  Torchlight 2 was something I wanted to try, but I'm happy to get Tropico 5 for free.

I picked up Monster Sanctuary, which is kind of like if Pokemon was a Metroidvania style game and binged it more than I have a game in a long time all weekend.  I don't think I'm anywhere near the end but it is quite fun.

Lee Mack is already my favorite contestant.

Based on my limited knowledge of the UK comedy scene there are very few people left that I have heard of that could be on it.  Lee Mack was one of the ones I was hoping for, along with Sean Locke and David Mitchell.

I think there is some merits to the weekly format even though I also want the binge.  Like I'm sure they see The Mandalorian gets talked about for 2 months straight instead of like for a few days like other full show dumps.  With the amount of shows they are making it seems almost like they can have a weekly episode and start the next one right away so you basically need a Disney+ account at all times.

 That's two former Batmans in the MCU now. Sounds fun.

We now have the same number of Batman's as we do Sherlock Holmes'.

Still, neither comes close to the 4 John Watson's in the MCU.

I currently have 242 hours into Monster Train and have done every possible thing in the game, so ya, I would put that as my #1

For a second I thought the game was such a cluster that it started without sign ups.  I still want in despite this sad revelation that it is not.
