In other personal gaming news, yes I'm using a modern gaming laptop to replay Vampire the Masquerade: Bloodlines again.
I got the Unofficial Patch (the big one that everyone uses, you know which one) and only installed the bug fixes, and played it as it would have been, if Troika had goddamn finished it in 2004 (like I said, I love Tim Cain, but...dude.)
But now I've installed all the "additional content" from the mod, that people have been complaining about for years because it adds a bunch of random new fan-made stuff to the game. This is the one I posted about before that let me choose to be a gay Brujah, and it seemed like all that did was add 2004 homophobia.
Well, I just discovered The Smoke Shop in Santa Monica, a cigar lounge / bar that is clearly fan-made because it has too much furniture in it, but also has a nice decor and vibe, and a poorly-dressed young man you can "romance" into letting you drink his blood. So that's pretty cool.
...Like, really cool. I really like that. I am such a sucker for more content in this game.
