Hacknet OS is okay.

It's just watching progress bars fill --I do enough of that at work!

The story and presentation is okay, though. Played a bit of the expansion and it already feels a lot more nuanced than the base game.

I'd say it's a good time filler and not much more.

Battle Brothers

Why the shit do random brigands have better gear than me?
Why the shit do they have gear worth ~3k on them?
And why are they all better than my guys even if I minmax the shit out of them?

Feels kinda bad, makes me feel like I'm just playing an optimisation puzzle instead of a management game. Because if I don't, my guys will just plain die to random fights with shitty brigands
Not going to complain about the chance of a random crossbow headshot taking out one of mine, thats just life and bad luck when it happens. But I sure as fuck am going to complain about everyone being consistently better equipped than my guys even when I get the best gear I can find

It's kinda like Oblivion and enemies auto-leveling to scale with you, except they level in faster than you and it's timed. So while you start the game at level 1 and fight random hobos with knives and rags, you can beat the bandits at that point and gather strength
And then once you are a few days in the bandits are now level 5 and their gear becomes roughly equivalent to the best stuff you have at that point
Then when you reach 30 days in all the bandits become level 10, and their gear is flat out better than what you can buy in the shops, minus that one shop that charges 4k(Likely everything you've earned up to this point) for a single piece of armour. The bandits ALL have that armour or similar levels of it. At this point you're at maybe level 7 for one or two of your units if you really got lucky and maximised experience gain
I can't be sure if they scale past that because all my guys just die when I have to fight to earn money, and any fight I go into means they'll die and I can't afford to replace them and their gear. Also if I don't fight then I end up both behind the curve and run out of money so they all abandon me for not getting paid

>Undead at this point come in groups of 30 with support units backing them up, thus literally overrunning my guys and tiring them out enough that they can't defend themselves anymore.
>Orks come in crude plate armour with a shitton of heavy weapons
>Bandits wear high end chainmail armour while wielding specialist weapons, including crossbows that can one hit kill anything with a lucky shot and high skill levels so they're all great at using their gear(And landing these shots)
>Dire wolves now come in packs of 9+ and can take 3+ attacks per turn, as well as instantly closing to combat on turn 1

Meanwhile, my guys are just okay. I have some light chainmail and heavy leather armours, with good weaponry but none of my guys have the skills to use it. Those who do have the skills to use their weaponry often end up crippled with an injury which puts them out of action for several days
Training up replacements is near impossible because there are no easy targets for them to fight to gain experience out of anymore. You hire a guy at day 30+ and they're immediately expected to compete with a level 6+ bandit who wears high end gear and wields a high quality weapon
Even if you get the guy decent armour and a good weapon, he's still going to be shit and underleveled so he's useless for at least 10+ days of training. Assuming he isn't instantly headshot by a crossbow and deleted

How the shit am I even supposed to deal with this?
It feels less like a game every time I try, and more like I'm trying to solve an optimization puzzle
I don't feel like I'm making tactical mistakes either, I get on the high ground, maximise my chances to hit and minimise theirs, and yet my guys get tired a few turns in while the enemy keeps going, my guys barely ever land a hit and when they do it's almost fully absorbed by the armour, and they get hit practically every other attack which often takes off a huge chunk of health and wrecks their armour

Frustrating, to say the least

Thats your punishment for not going with it and doing things ironman

Speaking of, I toughed out the Battle Brothers thing
I may have lost almost everyone multiple times, but by taking the loot of the dead guys every time I've forced my way into getting good stuff and high quality armour by saving up
Not endgame tier, but better than bandits at least, and a few key mercs on my team survived so I can keep going. And according to guides, I should have multiple endgame gear equipped mercenaries now so I'm probably just fucked whenever shit starts going down

The problem? The idiot newbies I replaced the dead with can't do shit while wearing the good armour because it's too heavy for them. I rely almost entirely on the pikes and bows in my back line for damage now because the frontline literally can't swing more than twice without getting exhausted. And while this is going on, the enemies have gone up to be even stronger. I now need to deal with multiple nearly impossible to hit orks with platemail every other fight. Massive slab of iron for a shield that I can't break with an ork very skilled at shield use using it to block everything.
One or two I can take by tiring them out and then surrounding them. Four becomes pretty close to impossible

That is why true high value targets got two torpedoes historically. If you only shoot one, you risk it and that's your fault entirely.

I care about the lore

but something in new vegas pissed me off so much that it made me delete all of the saves on my computer and uninstall the game

I spent my whole playthrough trying to get the NCR to like me by doing a buttload of quests for them but oh no

oh no, they just had to ruin it for me

I got myself to liked and almost accepted (the rank where the dude gives you keys to a hidden bunker with the ranger armor and other cool goodies like that) but here's the kicker there's a rare bug that resets your relations with a faction back to neutral and that means i'd have to do all the other quests again but OH NO, NOT ON MY LEVELLED CHARACTER because you CAN'T REDO QUESTS. I would have to start the entire game over again from SCRATCH and redo all the annoying terrible quests that I HATED. ALL THE NCR QUESTS ARE EITHER TERRIBLE SPEECH CHECKS OR BY GOD. BY GOD. HELIOS POWER PLANT NEVER AGAIN. It doesn't even make any sense that i'm not accepted after I:
Restored power to the NCR controlled areas only even though i could have routed it anywhere else (LOW LEVEL HELIOS REEEEEEEEE)
