QUOTE(Decrepit @ Mar 30 2020, 09:39 PM) I dabbled with chess several years during my teens. Became quite decent at the opening game. But even during those more-mentally-alert days I couldn't see far enough ahead to plan successful strategies.
I may be able to if I could be bothered. As it is I just play it while watching youtube and if something goes bad I retrace a step or two On the plusside though, it happens less and less. I may actually be learning generally what not to do. It's not too hard as long as I try and keep pieces covered at all times. I was obsessed with chess in my teens and read several books on the subject. Quite good fun.

I have been thinking that lately too. I am in a Star Wars mood for a while now. I honestly wish Fallen Order looked more interesting. That game was in serious need of a character creator.

I barely noticed Fallen Order. It looked utterly un-inspired to me, right down to the protagonist. I would love to play a Star Wars game with Dr. Aphra as the Progatonist. Or the crew of the Ghost (different missions using different characters). Or a 3d isometric, squad-based, strategy game where you have a team of Rebel Commandos going through various missions. Like Fallout Tactics in Star Wars. Or an RPG version of the same like Pillars of Eternity in Star Wars.

Oh well, luckily we have some real gems in the older games.

In TRS19 I've failed several attempts at shunting in Nancegollan Cornwall, UK. Took my first stab at the game's steam locomotive 'realistic-controls' tutorial. Not a pretty sight. I somehow bluffed my way to its end, but am about as far as one can be from being able to abandon 'simple-controls mode.' TpF1 wise, I've done no 'playing,' but uploaded a Scenic Excursions episode that's been 'in the can' at least a month: Transport Fever Scenic Excursions ep40 - ConMat for Chesham (YouTube video)

My plans to 'film' an entire TRS19: Cornish Mainline & Branches, Helston Freight Run session (in segments) seems more and more unlikely. Try as I might, I've not been able to successfully complete the Nancegollan shunting assignment. Can't for the life of my figure out what I'm doing wrong. My stumbling block is the very last shunting operation, reclaiming that part of the original train that continues on to the next stop. As I back to couple, in looks as if the loco and first boxcar derail at a turnout. The session then terminates without my input. I've studied and studied it, and can't see how my turnout settings can be causing this. Yet I almost have to be overlooking or misunderstanding something, don't I?
At any rate, there will be, at minimum, one further video on this session, the rather simplistic drive between Helston and Nancegollan. I'd have to work at it to get this part wrong.

I'm beginning to think TRS19 Nancegollan shunting is glitched. I've tried and tried and am never able to perform the final shunt. Yet I find no logical reason why what I'm doing fails. Come to think on it, if this 'is' glitched it'll be the third session from this same DLC that has become unfinishable. When bought, those other two now-glitched sessions worked fine. This one might have too, not that I'd know, I didn't attempt playing it until recently. On a different and more positive note, Mount & Blade II: Bannerlord is now in alpha. I've watched videos of it by several YouTubers. Looks to be a solid improvement over its predecessors (duh!). Here's the video I enjoy most so far. Rather than follow standard M&B practice, this fellow begins by having his character travel from city to city participating in arena combats. Nice change of pace, and shows off the combat system (among other things). YouTube video Mount & Blade II: Bannerload "A Knight's Tale", ep1, First Blood YouTube video

Am even more convinced that Helston Freight Run is glitched, preventing the session's continuation beyond a certain point. Either that or I'm screwing up something during the Nancegollan shunting process that causes mission failure. The game can sometimes be frustratingly vague on exactly what we're supposed to do. Nancegollan shunting 'looks' to be relatively straight-forward, but I'm not 100% sure this is indeed the case. In any case, I'm dead in the water for the time being. Speaking of which, Part 2, a simple drive between Helston and Nancegollan is now available for view: (YouTube Video) TRS19: Cornish Mainline and Branches, Helston Freight Run, Part 2 - Helston to Nancegollan (YouTube video) Bonus footage: Visit to Helston Railway Cornwall - 5 May 2019 (YouTube video, not mine) This post has been edited by Decrepit: Apr 11 2020, 02:44 PM

Another TpF video, a revisit to the Dunwich goods delivery line, now with British motive power: (YouTube Video) Transport Fever Scenic Excursions ep 41 - Goods for Dunwich, REVISITED (YouTube video) As of yesterday, episode one of the above series has just under 650 views! I suspect that as folk stumble onto my latest series entries they are curious enough to want to explore the series as a whole. Only, they never go beyond ep01. For good reason. Its track-side scenery is rather primitive and often sparse. I need to do something about that. I'm certainly not going to remove an episode with so many views. What I ought to do is create a new ep01 that will serve as an introduction and also direct people to bypass those early 'sub-par' episodes. Current ep01 can be renumbered as ep01a or similar. I ought to do this pronto, but suspect I'll drag my feet for weeks if not months. In other gaming news, there is no further gaming news, as my slump continues.
