FWIW Mass Effect Limited Edition update: Have you recruited Sinead O'Connor yet? Oops, I meant Jack. No. He's the next "recruit" on the list (if I continue to follow my current path through the game). Before him, I'll clean up some Assignments. I did play ME2 long, long ago. Honestly, I remember little -- that's why its fun to play again. As I re-play, and things actually happen before my eyes, I do recall seeing/playing those parts long, long ago. Even before re-playing the "Jack Mission", I do remember/picture "recruiting" Jack as a mission that "stood out".

If Jack's a She (of one sort or another), that's a fact I don't remember. Just remembered recruiting Jack was relatively memorable.

FWIW: Mass Effect Legendary Edition is on sale at Steam -- 25% off.
The Mass Effect LE mod manager, ME3Tweaks, is literally a work in day-to-day progress to use on the LE. It has been slightly updated this week -- works better with Mass Effect 1, for example (too late for me). My personal ME2 DLC mod only mods 3 items -- but, I don't need to use the hex editor anymore. ME3Tweaks seems virtually fully optimized for ME3 (original and new LE versions).
In 15 hrs with ME2 (versus ~20hrs to play all of ME LE 1), I haven't even got a full basic team yet. Jack (discussed above) may be next.
So far, enjoying the ME2 story line -- some significant gameplay improvements over ME1. Lots of twitch in some do-or-die sidequests (no saves possible during those sidequests) -- I've died a few times learning how to twitch, but I'm twitching better.

I think you meant "She's". To answer the observation: Got Ms. Jack. Remembered "her" when I saw her. At 22hrs gameplay now. Plenty left to do. I plan to "spare" you who are reading -- that is to say, I won't continue this "play by play".

I've had that one on the wishlist for ages Panzer, but never pulled the trigger, despite thinking I would like it. It's the reports of an omniscient AI that puts me off, like they magically know right where your hidden units are and prove it with an artillery stonk right on target. Would be interested in your take after sinking more time in to it.

DCS World keeps crashing mid flight for me. Not a clue as to why. Reminds me of OpenFalcon days.
Did you reinstall DCS? I remember you said you only have 16 GB of RAM but the sim shouldn't be crashing on you if you are playing small to medium sized missions.

I'm currently playing Landlord's Super https://store.steampowered.com/app/1127840/Landlords_Super/Its early access built on the Unity engine so plenty of dodgy physics made by the same dev as Jalopy Gameplay wise think of My Summer Car but instead of rebuilding a car you have to renovate an old house. One tip if it sounds like you cup of tea. To manage your energy better don't run everywhere.

I admit that I get a chuckle whenever I've seen a couple of my Steam friends playing a game called "Job Simulator". I guess they hate their real life job so much that they have to play an imaginary one in a video game?

Great game Spidey, DOS. Give DOS 2 a go if you haven't, aside from combat perhaps it's a better game in my view, and I loved DOS 1.
I'm going to wait until Baldur's Gate is out of EA, just my standard MO. I trust Larian to make a great game, and while I think highly of BG2 I'm not concerned if they stray from canon and forge a new path.
