Overwatch: Dominated our first couple placement matches, but our internet was spotty (we had tornadoes!) so we did some quick play instead. I really missed ranked, people actually use voice chat and appreciate my timely Zarya bubbles. A friendly Genji kept doing the comm wheel "Thanks!" after I did anything and it felt nice.

Titanfall 2: After my wife went to bed, I played two matches of multiplayer. People are already REALLY GOOD at this game, but I had a better feel for it by the second match. Wall running over someone and casually shotgunning them en route is very satisfying.

Pikachu's Fun-Time Island Vacation Solar - Grinding through island three. I have to say I miss the days when Professor Oak gave you a Squirtle and a Pokedex and said "See you when you beat the game". Having these idiot NPCs hold my hand the whole way is getting old.

Invisible, Inc. - Got through the end of day 3 mission, which is where the DLC campaign diverges from the regular one. Wasn't prepared for all the extra armor on the guards, so it was pretty much an all-sneaking affair and it got hella tense. I was afraid I was going to sacrifice an agent to lead the guards away while everyone else escaped, but fortunately Draco is OP and I was able to sprint him around like a cheetah without losing him.

SpaceChem - Found the fusion puzzles less brain-melty than the sensor puzzles. Even got the achievement (and a smug sense of self-satisfaction) for beating one level with only two reactors. My guess is that this isn't going to last.

Skyrim: I've been playing as a Dunmer vampire (with the Better Vampires mod). Some Nord told me that us foreigners are the reason for all of Skyrim's problems (#MakeSkyrimGreatAgain #Skyrexit).

... I was getting a bit thirsty anyway. :twisted:

FTL: Faster Than Light - trying to work through every ship class I haven't fully completed (victory with all layouts and all ship achievements) on Normal difficulty. Have been stuck on the Zoltan class for some time now, but I managed to get the wretched Noether (B layout, only Zoltan ship remaining) as far as the flagship yesterday. I might even have made it if they hadn't hacked my weapons.

I done it. In fact I did it easily, in spite of having pretty mediocre weapons, all told.

Overwatch: Played until 2am to get ranked, landed with a decent-but-well-below-last-season 2475 SR. We've got some ladder climbing to do. One win tonight and I'll hit Platinum tier, though the general competence of the Gold players this season is way up from last time. Play of the night was an overtime Graviton Surge on point B Anubis that snagged 5 players, into which a friendly D.Va self destructed for a team kill. We won that game.

I did not realize this was here, so diary, here's what happened today in my Sims 3 game (it was dirt cheap on sale, sue me):

Chad Killington has now killed 7 other sims. He invites people over, and then walls appear around them and prevent them from ever leaving. Today a party he had a few days ago saw the last five guests leave as ghosts. He is a maniac. He has no job, but he sold a second home for over $250k. That home had a friggin' fighter jet in the living room, that's how big it was. And he sold it to stay in his little house (because murderous sims don't deserve big houses :D ). He then built a house on the coast, with a nice pool in the backyard, a basement game/exercise room, and a larger pool in a room below that. He promptly sold that for a profit as well. He has purchased a local business but doesn't have a plan for it yet.

Future plans include throwing another murder party and building a tall house in the lot next to the house with two basements.

JamishT was a heck of a guy,
With a devilish twinkle in his eye.
With his hand-picked flowers,
And his feel-good powers,
He made all the girls blush and sigh.

Played Mass Effect 2. Lost an hour's worth of progress when I glitched on top of a plant and couldn't get down, because apparently a 2-foot-high planter is just too much for the galaxy's biggest badass to handle.

Been busy at work, but here we are:

Digital Cockfighting Deluxe 2016 - Cleared the third island, slogged through a bunch of boring cutscenes, kicked the evil lady's ass, onto island four, blew all my money on TMs again. And now I can summon a Machamp to carry me around like a baby, which is all I ever really wanted in a game.

Invisible, Inc. - Beat the DLC campaign on Expert ironman. It was kinda disappointing that they recycled the same end mission, particularly since you get an extra two days to gear up for it. I'm not crazy enough to try Expert Plus, so I guess I'll try Endless mode.

Overwatch - Did all my "placement matches", and I would love to know what the hell criteria they use to decide on your rating because I won more than I lost, got a ton of gold medals, and they gave me 1100 so I'm stuck playing with people so bad it isn't even fun.
