I killed five Lemoyne Raiders in their camp with one round of deadeye.

Then I slit the throats of the two who were away. The last one saw me coming, the poor fuck.

I harvested the shit outta that canola field. Now it's time to spread shit onto the field.

Completed the first two C-Sides. I even managed to complete the first one with less than 100 deaths.

Despite level deficiencies, took my team all the way to the finish. The final matchup was Typhlosion vs Lance's Charizard. What does Charizard do when faced with a Thunderpunch that removes half of its HP? Hyper Beam. The move that freezes it in place for a turn to get punched in the face again.

And thankfully, the battery lasted until the game autosaves.

Heh, if you're relying on actual shit to fertilize your field, remember that canola leaves no hay(at least, in FS13 and 15, and I assume 19 is the same), so you won't have anything to feed your cows to produce fertilizer.


EDIT: Made a full trip through the Aurora, including picking up the blueprints for the PRAWN, the Neptune, and also repairing the drive core. Had a close encounter with a Reaper - and by close I mean I saw it on the very edge of my visibility swimming the other way and that is too damn close.

I apparently revived my squad's two snipers often enough, they both separately decided they were willing to run up and revive me no matter where I died.  Teamwork makes the dream work.

We still lost, but we lost as the closest squad to the final objective.  So it was a moral victory.

Battlefield V.  Non-medics can only revive their squadmates and its painfully slow.  As you can imagine, snipers don't spend very much time doing that.

Secured the final blueprints for the Cyclops, was only missing the engine section. Two of the engine pieces required swimming very uncomfortably close to a Reaper Leviathan.

Subnautica. Now I just need to play some more Reaper-chicken to get the resources to actually build the Cyclops and PRAWN suit. Oh and I found neat thing about using base scanner rooms with the HUD chip: set it to scan for fragments, and the marker will disappear as you approach if you already unlocked that item(scanning will only yield 2 titanium), which allows you to more quickly move on to the next fragment.

As a suggestion? Grab the PRAWN first. PRAWN is massively useful in a number of situations, and once you get the grappling hooks it's actually very mobile. The Cyclops is mostly a glorified PRAWN taxi for the times when you don't have full ion cells yet and/or don't feel like undersea Tarzan'ing your way from A to B, and really only comes into its own much later in the game once you've got a bunch of upgrades and spare materials.

Due to the cheaper cost of the Cyclops, I had to build it first. Then I used it to establish a scanning base in the bulb zone for ruby. Got a decent supply, enough to finish the PRAWN, and a few other things down the line.

Completed all of the C-Sides.

Celeste. The penultimate one was the worst, I died 594 times, and nearly all of those deaths were in the last screen.

Spoiler: Managed to survive a trip all the way to (click to show/hide)

the Inactive Lava Zone. Even salvaged enough kyanite to get the thermal reactor and depth upgrades for the Cyclops and PRAWN. Had my first hostile encounter with a Ghost Leviathan, got away with only 2-3 hull breaches. Thought I wasn't going to make it back before my Cyclops' power cells ran out, but I made it back with 50% left.

Fun fact; the Cyclops is the only vehicle you can construct which is actually invisible.

If the power is off, there is only one single critter in the game that can detect it without physically bumping into it, and that's the lava larva. Everything else is completely blinded by the giant brightly-colored stealth submarine.

When you're puttering around, critters will only detect it based on how much sound it's making. They still can't "see" it like they can see you when you're swimming or in a different vehicle. This results in some funny occasions where large animals will literally swim into the sub and bonk their heads on the hull.

Note that animals (even tamed ones) will reflexively attack anything that gets shoved in their face, so it's possible to still get hit when the power's off by virtue of them bumping into the sides, but they can't properly aggro the sub and make repeated assaults. So if you're in leviathan-heavy waters, one of the safest things you can do is to actually take the keys out of the ignition and just sit there like a dead duck.


Otherwise, the energy shield blocks 100% of damage and silent running is also pretty good. Be aware that the thermal generator for the Cyclops is made out of repurposed ass and is entirely incapable of recharging the power cells. You're better off just installing another energy efficiency module (last I checked, they did actually stack. May not be the case anymore though).

Engine Efficiency doesn't stack according to wiki, and I'm disputing that the thermal reactor is completely useless.

Hanging around the Primary Containment Facility, I was able to keep my engine slow and with silent running, plus one or two Lava Larvae and still was gaining energy. Not entirely sure what happened when I was playing around with the Sea Emperor, but when I came back the power cells were at 14%. Maybe player proximity is required for it to charge. Shut down the engine, and I'm gaining 2-5 points per second. Also, whatever happened while I was gone, the Sea Dragon guarding the facility seems to have pissed off somewhere.

Finally finished the game in the same run that I got the Spider Rune. Assault Shield (paired with mutations that reduced cooldown and healed on parry) pretty much carried me to victory.

Well then there must have been a post-release patch that massively upgraded it, because it used to have an efficiency of about 0.05 points per second when sitting in a lava zone hotspot, rendering it effectively pointless. The prawn generator has always been decent, but of course nothing matches the hilarity of the seamoth solar panel.

The engine efficiency has both stacked and not stacked through the years, but the wiki has always said that it doesn't. It's possible they changed their minds and made it non-stacking again, but the wiki has always been a teensy bit neglected.

If it does actually charge now, that's great... beats having to keep a locker full of spare ion cells whenever you go somewhere.

...I still think that ideally, the Cyclops should have a large room hardpoint in it, so you could just slam a biogenerator or nuclear engine in there... But eh.


Can you still block reaper attacks by holding a fish? That used to be fun.

Completed an entire Arcade run without getting a game-over, which is actually a first for me.

Slap City, using Asha. Powerful up close, but he lacks any real ranged ability - his Trap Mine(down-X on keyboard) is very short ranged, while his Plasma Cannon(up-X) only shoots straight up.
