Waiting for Shanna I did this. Once I run my numbers for a coefficient of gravity, I should be able to calculate my landing burn before I put another frowny face on the Mun.
In other news I totally just defeated the Enemy Unknown on normal mode. ‘Ice’, my Zambian sniper was a death machine. It was kinda a let down because after trying different compositions and tactics, it all came down to the Our Lady of the Fortuitous RNG, solid pulling and yelling ‘Boom! Headshot!’
Our it might be I’ve become a more conservative gamer in my dotage. Maybe getting burned by playing too aggressively in games like Europa Universalis and Banished has translated into a more mature thoughtful play style. Would I still be able to gleefully level as suicidal soul stoned Warlock in WoW? Could I make it past the 9th level in nethack more than once a year? Would I join a corporation and be a cog in the machines of war on a galactic level in Eve? I doubt it, I think found that comfortable place where I’m playing the right games. I no longer pay mmo’s so I no longer pay content designed for either a full team or a bad. I finally got tired of the easily exploitable rules in Civ 5 (though a lot of that was finally fixed in Brave New World). I rarely play first person shooters where is easier on my vertigo to run so fast that I can’t even see the ground anymore.
Every one in a while people will still me what kind of games I play and it’s always a difficult question. I go from being the president in Saints Row IV, to Scotland during the 100 year war, running my own space program and deciding to prove science to myself. I rescue the townsfolk from the zombie apocalypse, watch them one by one be consumed by starvation in my small settlement, or ransack their houses while they look on. I game, at things that are fun out challenging. The only limit I really put on myself is it has to be entertaining. I won’t make a weekly appointment to raid. I don’t buy stamina to smash sweets. I won’t read strategy guides or spoilers usually.
