Silver ArrowsI finished #BG1 (that was quick) and was thinking what to play next. I remembered I finally have a device I can play my Gamecube games on!
I've wanted to play #PathofRadiance for ages. Man, Titania is an absolute tank.
I finished Path of Radiance! I want to play Radiant Dawn again, although I'm definitely removing the support between Sothe and Micaiah, because otherwise it just reeks of grooming and incest.
I benched Ilyana until I realised I needed her for Zihark's support bonus, and she turned out to be pretty good!
Rolf started out as being made from rice paper, but with a bit of spamming, he turned out to be really strong, with high accuracy and critical rates.
Oscar is my man 💚
Now I'm trying to decide. Do I replay #BG1 (I missed a lot the first playthrough, including forgetting to go back and complete Durlag's Tower!), or see if my physical copy of #BG2 works on my PC (it should at least work on my old Win7 netbook, since I played BG1 on there)? Or shall I continue with #FireEmblem and play #RadiantDawn?
I decided I wanted to complete more of BG1 (I missed the best parts of Durlag!). So this time I'm playing as Halsin 😆 but no bear transformations for you, Halsy!
I finished my second playthrough and this time I remembered to complete Durlag's Tower. Protip: it's a good idea to empty as much of your inventory as you can before starting the tower. Dump your non essentials in a chest or something, because there is a crap ton of stuff to loot.
I also did Mendas's quest. The butter knife of Balduran! 😆 Yay!
I started #BG2 and I'm thinking, maybe I'll need to buy the enhanced edition, because the interface just seems pretty clunky compared to what I'm used to from BG1EE. And I can't import my save file, nor my character file. I'll wait till it's on offer. When I revisit BG3, I'm going to leave pretty much everyone behind. I'll recruit Asty (because I've still not done his romance yet) and Halsin (yay three way), but the rest can naff off haha.
I've been playing Brawl lately. Ahhh, the start of the #kidicarus #rabidfangirlism! Man, those were the days.
In-game screenshots don't work on Dolphin, it just saves them as blank. So I used Dolphin's inbuilt screenshot function, only it saves it low res without the antialiasing. So I'll probably just have to use the Windows screenshot function.
Oh man, if I had this during the peak of my rabid fangirlism, I'd have probably created a small black hole from all the screenshots I'd have taken. I don't know how that works, I'm just saying I would have, okay!
Anyway, I figured out why the graphics looked so crap in #FireEmblem Radiant Dawn and Brawl. I had to manually enable antialiasing and high res in the settings. It looks much better now.
I think I must have played Path of Radiance in easy mode, cos normal mode on this one feels harder 😅
Also I found out that Normal mode on Radiant Dawn is in fact hard mode.
So yes, I managed a hard mode playthrough, without taking any of the laguz royals into the endgame! Yay me.
I definitely only ever played this on the actual Wii in easy mode only both times, because I don't think I could have clocked normal without save states with my sanity intact! 😆
I have no qualms about using save states.
Finally got round to finishing #RadiantDawn again. Normal mode takes too long and Easy mode is too easy 🤷🏽♀️ Anyway, I had the most bizarre MVP list this time! 😆
How! How! How did Leonardo, freaking Leonardo, get second spot?! I think I was just determined to bring some of the characters that get less love (not Fiona or Meg though, I'm not masochistic).
Anyway, my top 5 MVPs this time were:
5. Nolan
4. Soren Lorenson
3. Oscar (my Oscar!)
2. Leonardo
Who was number one? You're thinking Ike, aren't you?
Number one is... 🥁
Eddie-chan!
This time I took the time to train up units that I normally just bench. So Mia, Boyd, Aran, Ilyana, Danved and Nolan got a lot more attention. Aran is actually pretty good when you train him up. Not as good as Nephenee, but a solid unit.
One day, if I totally lose my mind, I can take Makalov, Fiona, Meg and freaking Astrid into endgame. I'd have to really hate my life to do that, but I might try it on Easy. Astrid is my number one worst unit in the game. She's not as useless as Fiona, Lyre, Makalov, Lethe and Meg, but I hate her. Dammit, Astrid!
I'm playing #EuroTruckSimulator2 again. I can't be bothered waiting at red lights!* Just let me through! You! Car driver! Out my way! I have hazardous chemicals to transport! And I wanna do some sightseeing on the way! I'm such a terrible, reckless driver 😆 How has my logistics company not been sued into oblivion yet and why don't I have a criminal record? 😆
*I'm a very careful cyclist in real life, who always stops at reds, whether there's anyone waiting to cross or not.
Yeah, I'm making my MAN look awesome! Samantha is my MAN!
Looks like I have a problem with white cars 😆
Got myself a new Iveco and Mercedes Actros to get the Test Drive Unlimited achievement.
Got myself a DAF XF Aerospace. A lot of the cabin accessory mods I installed don't actually show up. So I had to make do with this cherry pie, doughnut and mug.
Got myself a new tractor unit. I said I'd get my girls a MAN TGX Euro 6 XLX and I did. I feel a bit bad for Samantha now, since she's supposed to be my baby. But this is my tractor for my healing journey. My little Bunny is going to drive around seeing the sights and finding her own meaning in life. She's going to find her own happiness with the only MAN she needs, her TGX Euro 6. The colour scheme is a bit garish, but I had to match their signature colours.
If anyone wants to add me on #Steam so I have someone to compete with on achievements, please let me know!
I wish there were more cabin accessories. I played too much #ETS2 yesterday and got a headache. I installed the last EP I bought, Road to the Black Sea, I think it was, the one that goes to Turkey. But then when I loaded the game, the roads weren't connected to the rest of my map!
Luckily, Going East was on half price, so I got it and finally used up that 17p that's been sitting on my account since last year 😅
I'm very much a goal orientated gamer. I get bored of open play easily. So I'm trying to unlock all the cities and as many of the roads as I can.
Back when I used to play #Sims2, I just played it the same every time. Keep their needs met, get them good grades, get them promoted.
Other people would actually have their #Sims act out stories, like there was one player who had a grumpy old dude who would kidnap kids off the street and then lock them in the basement and force them to paint so he could sell the paintings. And I used to wonder, why can't I come up with stories, why do I play every family as goal orientated instead of letting them have a story? 😅 Is this an #autism thing?
I made the little #DAF paper model for my nephew.
There were no instructions, so I had to figure out the deflector myself. I think it's not meant to look like that.
I figured out how to customise Sisl's accessories. Now I need to figure out how to make my own retextures for the Cabin Accessories DLC.
I wish there was a way to hide the stuff I don't need. I don't want minions or fags or football teams.
The #Scania cabins have the most deco slots. MAN TGXs have very few.
I still can't find how to customise the window flag. There's a custom option but I can't find the file in either the custom pack or any reference to it on his site. Unless you need to buy the country flags DLC, but it should still show up on the website, right?
I don't get why ETS2 makes retexturing so complex. I used to do a lot of custom retextures on The Sims 2 and it was so easy. For clothing, you had Maxis's own tool and for objects, it was just a case of downloading SimPe and an extension and it took less than 10 minutes to learn how to retexture.
Why can't ETS2 be that simple? Just give us an in-house tool, SCS!

I was playing on my nephew's profile to get him some money so he could buy his own tractor unit. He must have set his random events to much higher, because there were an awful lot of accidents and road closures. Also why does he get to have dancing dudes?
Also also, why are cars able to drive through firemen, but I get a block?
Also also also, my niece keeps calling me a fireman because of my cycle helmet and hi-vis jacket.
I checked his settings and he's set random events to 55%! Nutter!
So yeah, while I'm earning money for him (I guess I'm his slave worker since he gets all the moneys), I'm constantly coming across tankers that have caught on fire, trailers that have exploded and numerous car crashes. He's so akan lol
Kitted out my Scania. I had to get the custom files for the window flag, poster and a few other things from github, I'm not sure why SiSL didn't include the custom files in the mod?
