Update 65: Augst 14th to August 24th

Not as good as the last round, but then I spent some time away with some friends visiting the Hagenbeck zoo in Hamburg over the weekend. Here and here are some pictures. Had a great time :D
Also got myself a beautiful, big mug painted by Ninglor.

Half-Life 2

This game is cute, but it has too much RNG for my liking. And don't make me start about the fishing. It tells you to throw the line infront of the fishs mouth, but guess what that will not work, Nothing will bite. you have to actually throw it far above their head and hope for the best and then hit the ever changing QTE. Also some quests are dependent on certain visitors to visit at the same time etc. It also gets quite repetative after a while.

Fairly decent HOG, just some of the collectibles are really annoying because they are either super small or super hidden. And you cannot get them if you progress too far.

Luxor 2 HD

It's a luxor game. Probably everybody has played one at least once. Basically you shoot balls at a strings of differently colored balls and try to get at least 3 in a row. It is just too damn long since you have to get all colored balls of a string and then a new one appears and this goes on for several times until the bar is filled for 14 stages and several levels per stage. Shorter would have been better here.

Yay to the Zoo! Yay to the mug \o/
Thanks again for taking the train ride and seeing me - us! <3

Oh and you got Stardew Valley! I very much liked that one <3

Vito

It’s a really nice looking mug, great work!

ninglor03

Aw, thank you <3

samwise84

I totally forgot the mug pic when I first posted 🤦🏻‍♀️
Then I checked my phone and was like damn, you took a pic so you could show the world 😅

And yeah was very happy about Stardew Valley. Now I just need the time 😜

ninglor03

The world really needs more mug pics \o/

Ha, I feel you. But it’s worth iit <3

Vito

Cool pictures! I can’t remember when my last visit to a zoo was, but now I want to go visit one :D

samwise84

Yeah it was great fun, even with all the Corona restrictions. I can tell you having to wear a mask for nearly 2h in a tropical aquarium with tropical warmth and humidity wasn’t that fun 😩

But it was worth it in the end 😁
