Sort Of Stressful Friday The 13th
Yeah, I ended up wound up again today from a bunch of little annoyances (like people tailgating me on my commute home, that was not fun), meaning I wasn't in the best mood for a lot of it. Which I suppose is appropriate for Friday the 13th, but still. Meh. But even with that, I managed to get through the day and accomplish stuff:
Work – A slightly-busy Friday to cap off the workweek – I did the GL (which took most of the morning thanks to a bunch of credit card stuff having been uploaded Thursday); I did the couple of exceptions that came through and weren’t checks or matching gift stuff; I put on a couple of checks for the director (both unusual cases); I took a few credit card calls; and I took a quick peek at the failed credit cards of the week. All pretty typical Friday stuff, and it did all make the day go by. *nods* Still glad to be out for another couple of days, though!
To-Do List –
1. Get in a workout: Check – last night on the bike, pedaling my way through:
A) The end of “Now This is Space Racing! | Teens in Space TTRPG | Episode 2” by Oxventure! We wrapped this particular episode up with alien teens Radian Inu (Andy), Kae’l Crex (Jane), and Galaxa Spacemountain (Liv) participating in the big race to win tickets to the Ultimate Party happening on the planet Rez T-75 with their new buddy Memples (not Meeples like I may have said before, that was me having a brain fart)! As each speeder required a pilot (to actually drive the speeder) and a gunner (to fend off all the other competitors), they divided up into two teams of two to double their chances of winning – Radian with Memples (with Radian as the pilot and Memples as gunner), and Kae’l and Galaxa (with Galaxa as pilot and Kae’l as gunner – mostly because neither girl was great at flying, but Kae’l had an edge in the “fighting people off” department thanks to her power armor and her giant black laser blade) – then hopped about the rustiest, most crap speeders in the race and took off! How did things go? Well –
I. Radian and Memples made a great start, escaping the crush easily and soaring into a good position at 15th place; Kae’l and Galaxa, meanwhile, got caught in the crush thanks to the speeder stalling a bit (bad rolls were bad) and only just barely managed to get into 39th place without being utterly destroyed by another speeder, oof
II. Fortunately, by being sneaky (thanks to one of Galaxa’s talents) and spending a whole lot of adversity tokens to buff up a bad roll, Kae’l and Galaxa were able to weave through the crowd and get out of the crush on their next turn, moving up to 29th place – and then Kae’l managed to use her laser blade to disable a speeder, send it careening into a rock wall, and start an avalanche, VASTLY reducing the competition. While terrifying poor Galaxa. XD Radian and Memples, meanwhile, surged ahead to 10th on a decent roll...and then Memples pulled out a rocket launcher and utterly OBLITERATED the two people in front of them on a fantastic Fight roll, moving them up to 8th! As you might imagine, Radian was a bit “holy SHIT you’re scary” after that happened!
III. The next roll saw Galaxa (VERY motivated by the avalanche behind them) manage to get in the zone and kick the speeder into high gear, getting them all the way into 12th place; Radian and Memples, meanwhile, got all the way up to 3rd with Radian’s piloting skills – and with the tickets to the party within reach, Radian fell to Memples’s bloodlust and encouraged him to take out 1st and 2nd with a rocket, which Memples happily did. Seeing this, the girls decided to help thin the herd even further so their friends had the best shot at winning –
AND CHUCKED ONE OF THE PLASMA GRENADES GALAXA HAD STOLEN OFF THAT SMUGGLER. Utterly obliterating everyone between them and Radian and Memples, and bringing them into second! And infuriating everyone who’d survived, as you might imagine. XD Man, these kids went from “this guy accidentally killed himself in front of us and it was really traumatizing” to “WE WILL DESTROY ALL TO GET TO THIS DAMN PARTY” rather fast, didn’t they? XD
IV. And finally, with some good rolls, both teams were able to avoid all the blaster lasers and rocket fire and whatnot coming from behind them and zip over the finish line neck-and-neck, with Radian and Memples JUST taking the win! :D Galaxa attempted to spin to a nearby camera and do the promised promo for Storacle as she followed them over, but a bad roll meant that she forgot she had to keep both hands on the speeder controls and ended up plowing it, and her and Kae’l, into the sand. XD Fortunately Radian took care of the promo for them, so that fish lady will NOT be coming for their hides, yay~
And with that, the quartet scored their tickets to the party! :D Next week, we’ll continue on with this mini-series and see how that goes! I’m assuming chaotically, with this group. XD
B) The entirety of “Resident Evil 9 LORE EXPLAINED | Who is Grace Ashcroft? When is it Set? | Resident Evil Requiem” by OXBox! Which was roughly seven minutes of Andy answering the titular questions and speculating a bit more on what was revealed in the recent trailer and what it could mean. Specifically:
I. He let us know that Grace Ashcroft is the daughter of Alyssa Ashcroft, reporter and one of the player characters of the multiplayer title Resident Evil: Outbreak, and the only canonical survivor of that game (which makes it a little sad that she’s now a murder victim and her daughter has trauma over it :( )
II. Given that Alyssa was canonically alive in 2016 (as per a newspaper article written by her about the Baker family’s shenanigans in Resident Evil VII) and the trailer specified that she’d died eight years before the events of RE9, the game could be set in 2024 at the earliest – though Andy was banking on it being set in 2026, the year it’s due to release
III. Looking at the ruins of the bombed Raccoon City (complete with giant ashy crater) made Andy think that either one, this city was never cleaned up or demolished after the big bomb for some reason (what is this, a Bethesda Fallout game?), or two, we might be exploring the ruins shortly AFTER the bomb in some sort of flashback sequence, which would be cool
IV. He’s pretty certain that at least one of the series’ mainstay protagonists should be showing up in some capacity, saying that if you really stretched your ears, you could maybe guess that a couple of the voices in the trailer belonged to Leon, Jill, and Chris. Personally, given that Chris showed up in both RE7 and RE8, I think it’s about time Leon got an airing in a RE game that wasn’t a REmake. And we DID get a pretty close look at the old Raccoon City Police Department building, which was the place he was going in RE2...
V. And he thinks that, based on what we saw in the trailer, we might be getting a new, unique villain (as the guy heavily hinted to be a villain didn’t look like a Wesker, or the ancient founder of Umbrella) – though if the game does NOT feature another fun alphabet virus to turn people into zombies, he will very much eat his hat XD
So yeah – it wasn’t much, but it at least helped explain who Grace was a little better and provided some fun speculation as to what might be coming up in the new game. :) I’m looking forward to seeing what pops up next regarding this latest entry in the series – I may not play these things directly, but I do enjoy watching others tackle the Residents Evil! OXBox in particularly does fun LPs, and I’m sure this one will be no exception. :)
2. Continue editing “Londerland Bloodlines: Downtown Queensland”: Check – tonight, Alice listened to Grout’s latest recording (where he talked about how silly his fellow vampires were, commenting in particular on their ridiculously-flowery language...until he realized he was doing it too – Alice was most amused) and solved the upstairs candle puzzle with the help of another note and a few explorative pulls, opening up a secret passage downstairs! Only for Cheshire to point out that she could have skipped the whole thing if she’d just noticed the secret “book” lever in the nearby bookcase that did the exact same thing. XD Alice was like “well, being able to do candle puzzles is a very important skill in this house, so I won’t beat myself up about it.” :p Tomorrow, she ventures into the secret passage to see what’s inside! (Lots of deadly electricity, if you’re curious.)
3. Keep up with YouTube “Subs”: Check, but only just – between beanbags (below) and Game Night (BTTF Yahtzee – Dad won two games while Mom and I each won one, with me edging Dad out in my game by a mere POINT) eating up most of my regular computer time this afternoon/evening, I got to summing up the workout videos and doing my regular writing very late. Meaning I had barely any time at all to watch any YouTube stuff. :( But I wanted to watch SOMETHING –
So I turned to Proxy Gate Tactician and raided the earliest videos on his channel for “Baldur's Gate 3: Cheesing To Defeat the Tutorial Boss Fight On Tactician Mode (Patched Method)!” Four minutes of Proxy explaining how he found a way to cheese the tutorial “boss” fight against the devils on the Nautiloid shortly after the game came out of Early Access. For reference, when you reach the helm of the Nautiloid, you’re confronted with a mind flayer fighting a devil who tells you to get to the weird nerves at the front of the ship and connect them so you all can get out of Avernus already. And while the devil he’s fighting IS technically an enemy you can battle, you are strongly discouraged from doing so by the following:
I. He’s level 8 with almost 200 HP and resistances to pretty much EVERYTHING, especially anything a puny level 1 character can throw at him
II. He will summon some other devil buddies to help him a few turns into the fight, who are a little less powerful than him but still a LOT for a level 1 character to take on
III. You’re on a time limit of 15 turns to reach the nerves and trigger the “escaping Avernus” cutscene – take too long and the ship just straight-up crashes, killing EVERYONE on board
So yeah, almost never worth the fight. But Proxy was very curious if beating him and all his minions was even possible, and what loot you got off the bodies if you did. So he experimented, and experimented, and experimented some more –
And after ten hours of failure (including one very near-miss where, thanks to him taking a bit too long and the timer disappearing, the ship crashed just as he had whittled the final cambion down to 13 health), he finally struck upon a winning strategy – Abusing The “Mage Hand” Cantrip! Specifically, abusing the fact that, at the time he recorded, “Mage Hand” could only be cast once per short rest – but if you short rested with a Mage Hand active, you could cast the cantrip again and get a second Mage Hand. And there’s little “heal” stations all over the Nautiloid that function very much like a character taking a short rest… Cue Proxy:
I. Faking a multiplayer game on his computer to get himself three player characters and buff his party up to six with his three PCs, Us, Lae’zel, and Shadowheart
II. Getting everyone buffed up as much as possible with “Bless” and Bardic Inspirations and whatnot before the fight kicked off
II. Having Shadowheart Command the leader devil, Zhalk, to drop his weapon – this doesn’t have much of a chance of working, but Proxy got lucky – and Lae’zel loot the blade so he couldn’t get it back
III. Directing most of the party to work on killing Commander Zhalk...while one of his PCs snuck off and started summoning an ARMY of Mage Hands near one of the heal stations
IV. Getting the Mage Hands into the fight where, despite being the world’s crappiest fighters (with terrible accuracy and damage), they DID help him kill all the devils in time. Sure, poor Lae’zel got nearly killed by the mind flayer when it briefly went hostile during the fight after Zhalk went down, and sure one of the other PCs had to sacrifice herself to blow up a cambion with all the explosive jars and such she’d collected wandering the ship, and SURE, Proxy wrapped up the fight at the absolute LAST MINUTE, nearly risking another ship crash, but he DID succeed! And his reward?
A couple of tridents, a handful of scrolls and potions, the Everburn Blade (which isn’t THAT good, as he’s revealed in other videos), some special arrows, and enough XP to immediately take the team up to level 2 (which was the REAL useful reward). Proxy was proud of himself for managing it, but warned everyone “do NOT do this, it isn’t worth the stress.” XD Not that it matters, because apparently the same day he released the video, Larian patched that “summon infinite Mage Hands” exploit anyway. Proxy jokingly griped that Larian needed to stop using him for QA in his pinned comment explaining this. :P (Hey, at least they’re DOING QA, which is more than I think I can say for EA these days...)
4. Get my tumblr queues sorted: Check – there was nothing for me to do on Victor Luvs Alice (N Smiler) tonight (or, at least, nothing I had time to do), but over on Valice Multiverse I had a surprise reply from TheCovenWars on our “Richard’s missing and Seth goes to Alice and Victor for help” thread from back in May! Apparently life got nutty for them and they could only get back to it now. Anyway, Seth told Victor and Alice that he and Richard had been wandering around the village when he disappeared, and he only took his eyes off the kid for a second, and I queued up a reply where Alice declared that they needed to head into the village then to see if anyone had seen him, asking if they’d been near the square or farther afield, and Victor assured him that the villagers here were nice and would help them look. We’ll see tomorrow if we’re back to more regular activity on this or not!
Other: As stated above, we did get in a round of beanbags when I got home from work today – and while I did poorly in the first two games, a switch flipped in the third and I suddenly did REALLY well while my poor parents absolutely sucked ass. Dunno what triggered THAT, but I’m happy to have at least won one game! Final scores were me 3-3-W; Dad W-W-2; Mom 2-2-3. We’ll see if things even out a little more the next time we play!
Yeah, thinking I should have said "no" to beanbags so I could have gotten in more computer time...well, too late to speculate about that now. I have to get to bed before it gets too late. Plans for tomorrow include working some more on "Londerland Bloodlines: Downtown Queensland;" if not actually PLAYING Sims 4, then figuring out what I want to do in the new "Teen Valicer Save" I want to start and putting that down in black-and-white; and watching at least a few of the videos currently cluttering up my Watch Later. We'll see what I manage to get done -- night all!
Work – A slightly-busy Friday to cap off the workweek – I did the GL (which took most of the morning thanks to a bunch of credit card stuff having been uploaded Thursday); I did the couple of exceptions that came through and weren’t checks or matching gift stuff; I put on a couple of checks for the director (both unusual cases); I took a few credit card calls; and I took a quick peek at the failed credit cards of the week.
