I have considered caving in because I'm quite interested getting my hands on Doom 2016 but I don't know. I want to try it but not enough to bother with Steam. We'll see.

Maybe it’s time to look at seeing if you can get a console on the cheap?

Khajiit must be joking, surely

Oooh! ESO is letting us play as Necromancers now; I can't wait! I guess 2019 is "The Year of the Unplayable Factions!"

Speaking of Necromancers ESO has Elsweyr DLC now, so if any of the Khajiits here are feeling homesick now's the time to play ESO .

In this instance, Khajiit is deadly serious. If you want to play a game but not have to deal with Steam, consoles are the way to go.


Well, Khajiit suspects we won’t be able to join their faction (and why would we want to after Molag Bal and Co. treats our characters so horribly?), but we will be able to use necromantic powers to fight fire with fire and bring Molag Bal to his knees!


Khajiit is actually really looking forward to this!!

I know. Just couldn't pass up the chance of posting that pic

At first I thought Ocarina of Time 3D's Master Quest flipping everything was pointless aside from being able to tell the version you're playing at a glance, but I found myself getting lost frequently so I guess it worked in adding more difficulty to places outside of dungeons.

Also I'm pretty sure RNG is stacked against you, since I spent like 400 rupees and several tours trying to get the Heart Piece in the Graveyard Digging Tour where it would otherwise take a full tour at most.

Reminds me of that rafting in Link's Awakening. Pretty hard to get all the stuff and I think you have to do it at least twice in order to get it all.

Eh getting the Heart Piece in the Graveyard isn't to difficult, you just need to keep digging in the soil areas till it pops up. The area closer the entrance seems to have better chances of it spawning.

In other news:

I bought Ace Combat 7 for the Xbox One! Can't wait to play this series again!!!

Yeah, it's weird cause I'd normally get it within minutes of digging, but this time it took me several visits and a full Adult wallet (that I got by the time i reached Kakariko for the first time in spite of the altered dungeons). I didn't get the Heart Piece this time until after Death Mountain.

Related to OoT MQ, I was under the impression that the Water Temple would be easier than the original. It turns out it's just (technically) shorter. It took me a while to figure out how to progress because I forgot 90% of the MQ version of the temple. It was the door of the 2nd floor of the tower being permanently unlocked that I forgot about I'm glad I have Farore's Wind for these dungeons.

I've never had anything go wrong with my Steam account though?

Khajiit shares this experience.

Can one after putting oneself in Offline mode then play the games without having to deal with Steam in any way as long as the game works?

------------------

I have increased my attack/defensive capabilities in Rebellion even more. Main Fleet now consists of 21 Super Star Destroyers and a total of 252 TIE Defender squadrons. At Coruscant I have increased the fleet itself with another regular Star Destroyer and the number of TIE Fighters on the planet to a whopping 300 sqaudrons!

Considering each sqaudron is made up of 12 individual fighters, all this means that the Main Fleet has 3024 fighters and Coruscant, excluding the fleet, has 3600 individual fighters.


-Bring it on, rebel scum

You still have to run Steam (even though it is in offline mode), but yes. I have it in offline mode right now, and have no plans on going online anytime soon.

But how does that work? Do I have to go online and play the game through Steam anyway?

Steam always has to be running, but setting it to offline mode prevents it from updating your games or updating itself.

When you first boot up your PC; you will get a small window that asks if you want to stay in Offline mode or go online with Steam. You click on "Stay in Offline Mode" and that is it; the only interaction you need to have with them in Offline mode.

That is it; other than that I didn't have to deal with Steam at all from 2015 until I went online in December to buy Fallout 4. Since I did that I've had nothing but trouble from it all over again.

So the other day I AGAIN re-installed Steam and all my games; the Creations Kits and Gecks = then put myself back in Offline mode again. That was a day ago; so far so good.

But the fact that I didn't have a single Steam issue all those years but was able to play all my games = yeah, it most def worked. I know they did a bunch of updates when I logged in; just hoping they haven't changed anything about how their Offline mode keeps their BS issues away.

Hmm. Suddenly Doom 2016 is a viable option, methinks. I'd just hate to cave in to Steam
