Okay so I have underground building sorted out LOL I might jump over into yalls world today and start building either at Peaceful Acres or near the starting altar. and just slowly flatten and build up. I was going to focus on food production in the short term.

Tagging @GazzaGarratt as I want to talk about how people are playing this. Lee frustrated the hell out of me last night being completely unaware of his surroundings and going for loot first which in one round led to us being shot at by other players & me getting stamped on by a leaper. I very much play this game cautiously, being fully aware of what is going on in and around where I am exploring first and then I will try to find what I jumped into a game for whatever item or quest that may be. I am almost always turning my camera looking in the sky, listening out for the machines as what can being as one machine catching you out can very quickly due to the noise of combat draw in others and result in you being quickly overrun. To me that is great as the danger is there and every encounter can quickly go South. My frustration with you Lee last night was that you were busy looting when @LordBaguette had just said a couple of times that he was being shot at by raiders, at that point for me it turns the game from a looter into a survival PvP game. That flicks a switch in my head and suddenly you should be playing the game differently and on trios you need your squad otherwise you quickly get overrun but I have a vivid image of you being quite exposed, looting a vehicle with your back to the direction the gunfire was coming from. There is no point picking up loot to be shot in the back because you won't then be extracting with it anyway! I think what it taught me last night is that even when you are part of a squad, don't expect your squad to have your back and going forwards if there are enemies I will be getting into cover or getting out of there and potentially leaving Lee with all his loot to fend for himself. 😄 And we won't get into the fact we had a bombarder right next to us at the church destroying everyone, Lee decides to ignore it and climb up the church anyway to complete his objective not really knowing what he was doing or looking for and Tom decided to attack & kill one of the raiders who were being friendly and fighting it. Only for a few minutes later for said raider to kill him whilst he was reviving Lee who had fallen from the church because he was too fekkin impatient to wait for us to deal with the bombarder first!

Going to play on my solo world today, I want to figure out underground building, and I tend to do that in Freebuild modes.

It's unlocked now for all players who have completed at least 24 raids

I had not watched a film for a while but sat down and watched the greatest showman with my wife yesterday, I kind of enjoyed it more than I thought I would to be honest.

Watched a movie last night called "2067" Not really sure how I feel about it other than it reminded me of all the movies I used to watch early Saturday or Sunday afternoon. It wasn't bad, but it was definitely an early afternoon movie, not a late night movie. I dont' even know if that makes sense, but it's what I was thing the whole 2nd half of the movie.

I reached level 20 last night with 50 successful extractions. I have my gear and gunsmith bench at level 2 plus scrappy at 3. I did a fair few quests yesterday and manged to unlock some achievements including returning to Speranza when downed after I got into a firefight at the exit whilst it was opening, downed the culprit, then got downed by an ARC and we both ended up crawling hilariously to the lift! Also flying through live event earning merits plus unlocking Raider decks with the credits. There's always plenty to do and work towards. Today I will do the daily challenges plus I need to broaden my horizons and try and discover new loot required for some of the level 2 benches. I'll probably need to increase my stash to beyond 200 because it is piling up and a lot of stuff, even the basics, you may still require down the line for things like upgrading weapons or simple attachments.

Went on with @Diddums Friday night and was amazed at his patience! 😃 I'm enjoying it so far but have stuck to the Dam map mostly. Only been killed by another player once so far. As those of you who know me well I have died more than once ! 🤣 Main strategy so far has been to expand the stash as much as possible, unlock all the work benches. It's a beautiful game to play, AAA at a bargain price and reminds me of Destiny in many ways... daily quests, scavenging, equipment upgrades, etc. It'll be interesting to see how many FG players will use the wipe option. I see Shroud is playing and topping the leaderboard but also discovering some sad news..... I'll be getting on this when real life lets me. Thanks again @Diddums ... he's your man for a dog collar for your chicken!! 🤣

Tetris Effect is an amazing game. The visuals and soundtrack are just awesome. That game made me research LED backlights for my TV, because I wanted to enhance the ambiance more. I don't know anything about Luna though, or any of those other games.
