Glorfindel has an unique bodyguard in the form of top level elven footmen that are usually absolutely monstrous. Those particular ones - not so much, since their shieldwall is replaced with commander abilty. And while I clear pushover neutrals with him and archers, I often hear "Our foolish commander has thrown his life away! Our foolish commander has thrown his life away!" In the end I managed to leave him almost alone in a village near a Dunland's freespawned stack. "Our foolish commander has thrown his life away!"

Missed an easy jump. Lost almost half a million runes. It's late, I should probably go to bed.

Elden Ring

[Kagus]

Played with a friend again. We set out to explore a new map location and gather some more neat loot to improve our strength and station.

Now, a few hours later, we have successfully managed to lose both our first and second sets of gear and are now considerably worse off than when we started. ...as per usual

Valheim. Ashlands are no joke, man.

Raid managed to kidnap a pawn. That made half the settlement depressed. Then it was ceaseless raids that burned through my ammo while not giving me much in return. Finally, I had two back-to-back raids, both pretty big and outside my ability to deal with given what equipment I had to hand and that they were one after the other. Another guy got kidnapped - Almost. They made it near the edge of the map before I took them down. I look at the almost-kidnapped and find that he's 8 seconds from death.

I just can't cope with the way the game's throwing shit at me. I need to drop the difficulty.

Got on my motorcycle, immediately got jumped by like 8 goons driving up and pinning me between their cars. Got blasted to death with no way to escape. That ambush took a couple tries for me to survive, had to get tricky.

Cyberpunk 2077, which I am enjoying immensely.

[Djohaal]

Couldn't save up enough metals in time before lava flooded my base. Oh also there's a killer bug eating the planet.

Outpost 2, yeah its old.

[Akura]

Spent a considerable amount of gold buying the materials to make an Invisible Blade, a weapon better than what I was using and with a gimmick that it's invisible(it's not that problematic, you can still see where it swings).

Literally less than five minutes later I find one hidden in a breakable wall.


Also I got absolutely murdered by Bloodless.

"You are taking damage from engine wash!"

This is the first time I remember ever dying to it, but I totally deserved what I got.  I'd just finished shooting down about 20 TIE interceptors with my A-Wing, then got the bright idea to test my luck on destroying the ISD they launched from.  I destroyed one shield generator and damaged the second one, but took enough hits from the turbolasers that my shields were weak.  I dove past the bridge on my strafe and into the line of the engines.  By the time I realized what was happening, my shields evaporated, and my hull not long after it.

This was my second attempt on the mission already.  On the first attempt, I flew into a probe droid capsule while trying to shoot it and that destroyed my A-Wing since its shields were again weak from trying to dodge the interceptors so I could focus on the objectives.  That's what I got for barreling at it at 120 MGLT while trying to dodge blaster cannons on my tail.

I'd forgotten that X-Wing Alliance could be this unforgiving, especially after the first missions with the YT-1300s and YT-2000 give you an unrealistic impression of ship durability for the rest of the game.  Had a couple of amusing failures in those missions too when a TIE bomber hit me with a proton torpedo and destroyed some cargo I was supposed to protect.  I found out that the eject button funnily enough works with the YT-2000, since it was a fast way to reset the mission.

Had a pretty bad attempt on a mechanoid cluster. I was pressed for time since the automortar was going to start firing pretty fast. The issue was the cluster was severely spread out, and had a bunch of turrets. There was one mechanoid drop beacon which, in hindsight, I should have shot with a disposable launcher as the opener so it couldn't drop. I got most of the turrets and took out the mechanoids with only one injury.

The issue was that smoke's supposed to block turrets with CE. It did, but it turns out that once a turret has targeted it'll fire even if you run into smoke. One of my guys got hit in the chest, damaging the heart. He had half an hour until bleedout, and my doctors were suffering from muscle parasites so their tend speed was crap. Guy bled out. He wasn't the most important, but he had the highest social skill and was my designated janitor. First death in this colony due to anything other than a pawn's own stupidity (And one reload where a shambler swarm showed up and tore my colony to pieces. 12 hours of ceaseless resurrection. I thought it was just an attack by 33 shamblers that stayed dead, I hadn't realised the shambler swarms resurrected without the pall)

Flew into the side of the L/CRS Liberty out of frustration, which oddly led to victory despite my A-Wing exploding.

This was the mission where you transferred from the Defiance to the Liberty, and it's the first time I encountered the Liberty while running the X-Wing Alliance Upgrade mod.  Despite meeting the victory conditions and having the all green panel showing that I had indeed achieved victory, when I got to the destination system I was given the mission failure message of "You let those people perish.  I thought the Defiance was sending its best."  Afterward, the hangar on the Liberty wouldn't let me land.

I don't know if it's a bug in the base game, or a bug in the mod.  I don't remember that ever happening with the original game anyway, but it was still really funny after 15 minutes of me flying around the ship and hoping there was just a bug with the placement of the hangar on the new model, that flying into the side of the ship and exploding let me go to the debriefing with mission success.

Guess I'll see if it's a bug with the mod on the next mission.

V2 was a both a pain and pleasure the first time, and is a pain and pleasure this second time.  So far the best strategy I can come up with is to slide around and bait out his own slide.  When he does, go in for the shotgun/fist downteam combo.  As long as I stay moving and counter the occasional explosive attack Im generally okay.

This is my 4th or 5th try today, which makes it about my 7th attempt overall... Between disconnects, random 10-14 lvls joining up and hoping for the best, and my tired ass mixing up which boons I've got in which runs and making incredibly stupid mistakes I have no business making, they've all gone completely to hell.

The modifiers aren't even that bad, I should be doing just fine... Why is this weekly beating the absolute snot out of me?

Found this site, AI powered random what beats the previous input game.

Apparently, a cozy bed isn't beaten by fire because "That's just rude"

[Akura]

Huh, tried to beat sledgehammer with a sword. Apparently the AI doesn't realize a sword is faster. Instead it becomes a fancy metal pancake.

Spoiler: Progression of that run (click to show/hide)

rock < paper < fire < carbon dioxide <electrolysis < no power < generator < sledgehammer > sword

[pisskop]

lol I said that stone beats hacksaw and the game said 'na-unh'

Im reasonably sure you shouldnt be wasting a hacksaw on a rock.
