Touhou Labyrinth 2

I wonder if all this good luck is the RNG's way of paying me back after a long day of failing at Crawl

I'd try to get into this game (I have it), but.... Well, the numbers kinda scare me.

I can beat Cirno without dying almost-reliably! I even pulled off a counterbomb last time I fought her, although I'm not sure if that's an own or if I just fucked up and got lucky.

Got Tammy's head, sad bombs and 99 bombs while packing a short-range brimstone and a couple of damage boosting items. And child's heart. And a dark bum. My first victory against Mega Satan. I love cheap synergies, but it felt like cheating.

I've been having great fun with it. The best part about it is that you can freely reallocate most things at any time and party members just chilling in Gensokyo still get exp. So you can completely readjust your set-up at a moment's notice. That said, my time spent with this game is about 25% grinding my teeth trying to deal with the latest dumb boss and 25% grinding my teeth trying to deal with the latest dumb switch puzzle and 50% laughing maniacally as I do a bazillion damage.

Someone made a "lol, good level design = hard level design" map in Broforce.  And, ah, this happened:

Because fuck you.

That was my first try on that section too, so I have no idea what I skipped.

I've been in a rut, playing as Reimu-A and beating my head against the wall. However, I think I actually like Marisa-B better. I beat up to Stage 4 as her, which is about as far as I've gotten as Reimu-A anyway. Reimu's non-stop homing attacks start to feel like cheating after a while, too. Here's a replay; at one point I had an unprecedented 6 lives saved up. Almost all of them were lost in Stage 4.

I wrecked the Warriors of Darkness from the recent patch with graceful ease. I'm a Summoner, and while my summons cannot agro them, I was able to kill most of them with one round of DOTs/Aether Abilities/Ruin 3/Dflare. They are essentially the nega-version of you and your possible party members, so it was quite reaffirming story-wise. It's a solo instance against the five of them, which can be challenging for some classes.

For those of you who don't want spoilers, I super-pwnt one of the major story boss instances. Felt good.

The moral of this story is that Stage 4 is hell. The only Touhou where this isn't true is SA, and that's because Hell is instead Stage 5.

I finally cleared the game without using a cheap character (rain, noob saibot, any boss character, etc) for the first time. That was insanely hard.

The thing about the bosses in this game is that unlike pretty much all normal characters, they're basically invincible in a normal fight. If you run up to them and try to hit them they always can use button reading to instantly block or counter anything or just use some other cheap move. All you can do is stay on the defensive and wait for them to use a certain move which leaves them vulnerable to you, and then get as good of a combo in as you can. For example, Motaro has insane defense and has a throw which cannot be blocked or ducked under, but you can wait for him to leap at you and then beat him up while he's trying to do it. Also, Shao Kahn is insanely powerful in general, however, if you're careful, you can wait for him to do his upward shoulder tackle, duck under it, uppercut him while he's above you for massive damage, and usually hit him with something else while he's getting up from that.

Mortal Kombat Trilogy. I feel gud.

Blew up a rift to the Warp, then proceeded to purge all Kroot who consumed Chaos-tainted flesh(despite never actually using Cannibalize - I know damn well not to let Kroot eat that stuff). Then I herded all humans left on the planet into gender-separated re-education and sterilization camps for the Greater Good.

Warhammer 40k: Dawn of War: Dark Crusade. Finished Tau campaign by defeating Chaos. I think I took more casualties fighting up the hill to the Warp rift than in every other stronghold assault mission combined. Probably because Tau is "shoot everything with everything", lacking much in the way of specialization. They have little functional melee(except the Greater Knarloc which doesn't count), little dedicated anti-vehicle or anti-building(or specific anti-infantry for that matter), no defensive turrets or mines, no effective artillery, and a curious lack of special abilities with any major effects. The Ethereal gets two, one is useless, the other requires putting the Ethereal in harm's way. Normal infantry get a decent A-I grenade if they have squad leader and a crappy shield if they have a drone, and Pathfinders get insignificant markerlights. That's about it.

The oddest bit about the AAR for the Tau-vs-Chaos Stronghold is that it mentions that it was "miraculous" that no Tau fell to Chaos during the battle. Why would they? Their souls have little to offer daemons for possession, and with their indoctrination to the Greater Good(an Ethereal is on-planet as well), they have little reason to willingly join. The only Tau who would have been at risk was the commander, Shas'o Kais, who is the only Tau ever to be possessed by Khorne - and he recovered. Maybe the Kroot are at risk, but they got purged.

I think I might finally have gotten good at this game.

First own is that I now have 45 characters. Yuuka, Byakuren and Flandre were all a pain in the ass to recruit, but I did it. On an unrelated note, my hands hurt from getting all that BP with Miniriko and Nazrin.

Second own is that I utterly DESTROYED the Black Goat of the Woods with a Thousand Young.

Credit for this stunning victory goes to... Chen, mostly. Chen is ridiculous. Real quick + real hard-hitting + synergy with two already good characters = BEST KITTY[Step up your game, Rin]. Mind you, Byakuren and Ran and Yukari were also indispensable. Herbalist Ran and Byakuren combined to give Yukari and Chen absurd buffs before unleashing a flurry of cat and fox on the unsuspecting abomination. I was averaging around a hundred thousand damage a turn with the Yakumo beatdown engine running.

Labyrinth of Touhou 2

I don't have an addiction guys, I promise.

[Akura]

Was having trouble catching Kyogre. I really didn't have many balls to capture it with, and I was sorely lacking in status-causing moves(I think Dragonbreath was literally the only one I had on my team). Very little I had could survive more than a single Origin Pulse(if that). I forgot where to get Quick Balls, too. So my chances without wasting the Master Ball were slim. And it didn't help that Kyogre's opening move was often Aqua Ring, and Mawile can only do so much with False Swipe.

Then I remembered my O-Powers. After using Capture Power(Lv.1 because this was literally the first time I remembered them), I was able kidnap that damn whalegod.

Pokemon Alpha Sapphire. Actually, I'm not even sure if that was the case, since it most likely burned out before even the first ball was thrown because of the long cutscene preceding the battle(also, you have to leave Kyogre's room since the PlayNav is inaccessible there). I didn't get the notice that it wore off until after the long cutscene after the Kyogre battle.
