Though I expect a couple of them to be retconned/undone in the next movie/sometime in the future.

How's Atreus gameplay wise? Can he get killed? Is he actually useful in combat or someone that needs to be kept alive?

First presidential debate... I don't know what we expected, but it probably wasn't this. Don't know whether to laugh, cry, be afraid or... something else. At least it served to bring some attention to the independent candidates, who do not get the level of support the 3 main ones do.

HELL YEAH! \m/ \m/ Loved the first one, looking forward to this one, looks really cool. \m/ \m/

Windows 10 Pro, she does have access to the admin account. I asked her and apparently, she took her laptops for her own stuff, and the IT people at her office went all "hey, we can install the newest Windows on your machine, if you want!", and since my aunt doesn't know much about this stuff she just agreed, thinking the newest version would be the best, and so I guess they just installed it using their license keys? Edit: Found how to enter the new product key, cheers dudes!

My aunt asked me to fix her laptops, turns out, they don't really have any issues except for the fact that Windows 10 was installed for her at the office she worked at, now that she no longer works there, both are warning about the license expiring soon. Can I switch to a home/pro license from an already installed version of Windows or will this require a clean install?

That also doesn't sound good to me, as I do not have that much money after buying a couple of blueprints. I guess I'll play other missions first and see how it goes. OT: Went back to The Phantom Pain, the nod to the MGS series in the latest Wildlands event mission made me want to go back and finally push through the last missions I have left. I was afraid my base would be in chaos and all my resources would be gone but to my surprise I had a ton of money and resources, after looking around, looks like my FOB was invaded a couple of times, but they only took some weapons and soldiers, nothing big. I'm still in Wildlands mode though, so I automatically begin shooting everyone/everything when detected, it'll take a while to get back into the stealth mindset.

I reached the Kubrow mission and stopped there for a bit, not sure I like the idea of a pet companion that becomes useless/hates me if I don't log in every day.

Finally completed this mission, it sure was something. Ended up just running away while blowing up any helicopters that tried to chase me. Mission was kinda disappointing in its execution, though the story and the way it sets up a possible new entry in the Splinter Cell series is pretty cool. The nod to MGS was pretty cool, and Sam's reaction when he realises he's the only one left is heartbreaking. After completing the mission you get Sam's sonar goggles which change the night vision effect, looks cool, but it's not as drastic a change as with the Predator mask. Would be awesome to see the Ghosts in Splinter Cell.

Probably, though I wouldn't be surprised if that was their real reason, over here, schools/businesses make time for the World Cup, specially when Mexico plays, I remember classes would be suspended so we could watch the matches. Fun times.

Well, tried again, and again, and again and... This mission has some serious issues, specially the lack of checkpoints. I've now managed to find a path that lets me sneak in undetected, so that part is easy, the problem is the other stuff, you have to fight Unidad forces, an endless stream of Unidad forces, which gets pretty annoying, also, like I mentioned, there's no checkpoints so if you die/fail at any point, you have to start from scratch, and you can actually get detected mid-cutscene so... That's a thing. Sam also has an extremely minor role in here, and he doesn't do much for most of it, though it's still pretty cool to see him again, with Ironside voicing him no less. Will tweak my loadout and try again later, this time I know to bring in heavy weapons instead of stealthy ones.

HELL YEAH Fate/Extella Link! \m/ \m/ Reflexions is one of those games many thought would never make it over here, cool to see it, though I don't own a Switch. Renewal had already been teased but it's cool to see confirmation of it along with platforms, didn't expect a PC release so soon. Bullet Witch is a game I wanted to play on 360 back when I saw the trailer, looked cool in a super over-the-top kind of way, never managed to get it though, as it was sold-out/out-of-print. Doesn't look like it aged well though. Highlight is Fate/Extella though, can't wait for it. \m/ \m/

Wildlands is much more forgiving than others though, mostly by allowing you to just kill everyone from a distance before approaching a base/outpost/whatever, this time though, there's a no-kill condition. In general, it's also not as stealth focuses as previous entries, allowing for a guns-blazing approach if you so desire. The Tier One stuff doesn't help either, as that makes it easier to be detected, I'll probably turn it off on my next attempt. The mission should be available right at the start, you'll be contacted and told where/when to go and that should be it, though I would recommend picking up a couple of weapons before heading in.

Holy crap, the Splinter Cell mission is HARD, mainly because I suck at stealth stuff, my usual approach is to just kill everyone, which does not work for this mission.

https://news.ubisoft.com/article/splinter-cells-sam-fisher-sneaks-into-ghost-recon-wildlands More details on the Splinter Cell collaboration, looks like it'll be like the Predator stuff, a short mission, with a themed reward, with some extra DLC and PVP stuff. Game will be free to play for a couple of days, so if you're curious, this is the best time to try it, the Predator mission returns for this event too.

Cryengine has now switched to a similar model to what Unreal uses, first $5k are royalty free, afterwards, there's a 5% fee.
