    @DracoTarot Well, it's Ubisoft, so... We'll see.

    I thought that classics were the 2-D games, so C&C 3 and 4 are not really classics? Not sure now...

    @DoctorEldritch I wouldn't say the classics are only 2-D games. C&C 3 and 4 are classics but not sought after.

    @DracoTarot I divided them into games with 2 sides and games with 3, and approached 2 sides ones as classic. That approach worked well enough but then C&C 4 had only 2 sides...

    @DoctorEldritch Ah! ok, I understand what you are saying.


    I also feel so divided today. Have emotional ups and downs. I am happy and I'm not.

    Received some awesome news today my Legion Monitor will be dispatched from Evetech I won during the Her Legion live and about an hour ago I received an SMS another parcel was coming from Lenovo Singapore. I'm guessing it's the Legion mouse I won during the Legion Fridays in September.

    The bad news is my uncle and aunt are both in the hospital with serious illnesses.

    But yeah I guess that's life!

    I'm actually keen on playing some C&C. Wonder which one I must play first?

    This meme says it all. I feel like this dude most of the time when we are without electricity 😂

    @DracoTarot Do those ups and downs come frequently one after the other?

    Congratulations about the Legion monitor and mouse, now you get to have a little race and see which one of these makes it to you faster 😉

    But sorry to hear about your uncle and aunt. Are they at least in the same hospital?

    I'd say go in the chronological order of how they were released before remasters, that way you get to follow the evolution of the games too, so it may be interesting from a gaming history viewpoint as well.

    The meme may be true, but on the other hand, not having electricity can be a boon for GLA because they can roll out faster, not needing that part of the economy to move forward.

    @DoctorEldritch These days it's more frequent than before. I'm an empath and positive and negative energies affect me quite a bit. If it's a negative cenario I'll go out of my way to help a person in need. Usually I'll spend all my energy helping and forget to look after my own needs. I burn myself out and end up being emotionally depressed.

    Thank you! The monitor is a real blessing and awesome Christmas gift. I am really in need of a new monitor. Working online and playing games will be so much more pleasurable. Currently I'm using a small 17". Now I can run duel monitors. 😊

    I'm sure the monitor will win the race. Evetech is only a stones throw away from me.

    They are in the same hospital at least. The thing is they're the only family members we invite over for the festive season and this year it seems it's not going to happen. Last year my dad had his setback and we also had to cancel family time.

    Chronological order would be the best option. I'm not sure I'll get through all of them. At some point I will get bored playing it. 😆

    @DracoTarot Take care so that it does not develop into something more serious, like possibly a disorder symptom. Being an empath is all good and well, but we wouldn't you to burn out.

    What would you use dual monitors for? I never used a setup like that outside research work, so not sure how one uses it recreationally.

    You never know, the mouse may surprise you yet. Like it did with an ox (granted it was a rat, but still) 😉

    Ah, these things happen. But then again, a lack of holiday family time is a small price to pay for restoring health and making a recovery.

    That's a possibility, they are entertaining but too much of a good thing is often an issue. But you can always mix it up and play other things in between.

    @DoctorEldritch I've learned how to take control when things get a bit out of hand. Since Monday I have put a hold on all my work accounts until next year. People seem to have a lot of emotional baggage during the Holiday season and I do not have the strength to deal with it now.

    Taking a breather and relaxing are the only two things which are important. 😊

    I'm going to use the dual monitor setup mainly for work. Spreadsheets on the one and a blank canvas on the other and logging into my consoles.

    I do a lot of typing and things get hard when I have to space two minimised windows next to each other on a small 17" screen. My eyes can't handle the small text. Gives me migraines.

    The mouse already arrived in SA and guess what, I'm already having issues with delivery. It's the same old story. Customs is holding on to it and needs additional info from the sender. I guess they are trying to make a few bucks out of me again by paying customs fees.

    As per usual I will take them on and won't fall for their tricks.

    The monitor also hasn't arrived yet which is strange. I sent an email this morning but no one has responded up until now.

    All that matters is their health. I'm hoping for the best. That's all I can do for now.

    In the end, I'm exactly going to do that. Mix things up. 😊

    @DracoTarot That's a bold move, I thought the festive season is a popular time for divination of all kinds. But you know best if the challenges outweigh the opportunities.

    For work Dual monitor is quite convenient. But for leisure, I am not sure how people use them, I always feel like Moana when she met Tamatoa:

    The time has come again for the GOG Advent Calendar free game. This time it's Chicken Assassin from 2016:


    Be sure to grab it if you want to try it! @DracoTarot what say you about the trailer song? 😉
