Today’s game is Sea of Thieves. For the first time ever me and some friends managed to get a full crew together and sailed my ship. We even managed to get our resident chef and arsonist to join us. He adds an extra challenge because the only thing he really does is stand at the stove and let food cook. He never really cycles it off so we have to make sure to regularly take food off the stove for him. He does help out though, like in the screenshot above where he fell asleep at the map. He was talking in his sleep about Gophers. I ended up laying down next to him and joining him for a little nap. He ended up sleeping through an entire battle with a megaladon.

The fight was over the ocean during the middle of the day, and i don’t know if it’s my fancy new gaming rig or the water got an update, but god is this gorgeous. The light was playing with the waves and it looked so good i almost forgot we were being attacked by a huge ass shark and down a man.

We did a sea fort, and while my friends were looting it, one of them tried bringing the boat up and got it stuck, and i went to go get it unstuck. I ended up getting it free quickly, and i got this lovely view of the sunset.

We ended off our night with this wonderful parking job done by my first mate, who was distracted after our chef threw a fire bomb at him and then stopped the anchor from descending. It all turned out okay though, because my ship was undamaged. Just stuck in a tight squeeze. It’s future me’s problem though.

    Sea of Thieves is such an amazing game. I love just taking my boat and doing the treasure hunting. I haven’t played in over a year because the one thing i can’t deal with is the pvp. I am not good at it and frankly i have zero interest in it. But it is forced on you and people will sometimes just chase you till the ends of the ocean to take you out. I know there is now a “safe seas” mode but it is soooo limited. You aren’t even allowed to take your own ship 🥺.

    I always played with my partner and my little sister. But my little sister just ends up getting drunk, eating all the food and falling off the boat hahaha. So we put her ass in the jail sell till she sobers up.

    But fuck do i miss this game… alright time to reinstall!

    I love your posts btw! I check and read the whole post every day. Always gets me excited to play the games you are currently playing.

      The dislike for forced PvP resonates with me. I thought about picking up Sea of Thieves (after a Pirates of the Caribbean marathon don‘t judge me) but the user reviews mentioning bad experiences with PvP put me off again. Maybe we‘ll see an unofficial shard server in the future.

      This is me on nearly every level.

      But my little sister just ends up getting drunk, eating all the food and falling off the boat hahaha. So we put her ass in the jail sell till she sobers up.

      When I first read this, I thought your sister was doing this IRL lol

      My brother and I played a few times, but he’s not into it.

      I like playing alone sometimes but then it gets boring and repetitive playing by myself. I’m not into PvP either so I’m okay with meeting AI enemies, but as soon as another human comes around, I usually noped out because I just don’t want to be bothered.

        The comment you’re replying to specifically mentions this feature and the fact that they do not use it and the reasoning behind that decision

          It’s been hours now (and a very busy day), but I swear that half of that comment (including that section) wasn’t there when I commented regarding safer seas.

          But there’s no mark showing the comment has been edited either.

          Scurvy must be eating me brain.

    They kinda murdered the game for me when they made it so easy to switch servers during play and avoid ever fighting anyone…
