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".

I think you meant "She's".

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.

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 noticed that Total War: Troy will finally be coming to Steam very soon. I'll be getting it even though I got it for free on EPIC and played it quite a bit already.

Just an old jam I particularly like https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BfWJqKIxyGc

Case I carrier landings with an F18 in DCS, finally got good at that. I can't even find t he carrier well enough to attempt to land in Case II or III, so I still have a lot of work to do.
Hell Let Loose, I think the recent patch that added in the Russians messed up some stuff on the back end as it now sometimes runs like crap and servers crash much more often.
Star Citizen. 3.14 patch is out which added in Orison, a cloud city like location on Crusader. They also added in some large PVE and PVP events. Did one where a pirate fleet was blockading a port at CRU L1. People joining Crusader security had to run the blockade to deliver supplies to the station as well as break the blockade by fighting the pirates and escorting scanning ships to locate the bulk of it.

I just bought "Steel Division II" on Saturday and finished the tutorials. I can tell I'll be pouring a couple hundred hours into this title.

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.

Will do! I'll be starting one of the campaigns sometime this week. As for cheating omniscient AI, I already got used to that playing the Total War games.

Halo Master Chief Collection is pretty badass. I never played Halo, other than a small portion of the first game, so I had no idea what all the praise was about. Playing on PC using a mouse is a bonus.

Ninja Gaiden E on Switch. This game is pure sword slashing awesome.

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.

Yeah I ran the error checker too, last night.

I think Liberation might have injected too much crap into a mission, because I'm 12 turns into the 1995 Caucuses phase 1 campaign, and I'm crashing mid-flight every time I try and fly the mission. Oddly the dedicated server I set to run in the background never crashes.

Gaming is on hold. I had to send my EVGA RTX 2080 Ti in for replacement. To make it #%&*$#, it cost me 107$ to ship with loss insurance.

Escape From Tarkov is my game of the moment!

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?

I am back on the RPG kick again. Playing Divinity Original Sin 1 --> 2, Baldurs Gate 1/2/3 early access

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.
