I usually go for a top class weapon relevant to my class or... Silver dragon armor? The one that reflects spells. Genocide isn't a terrible options either, though that's more of a long term strategy.

Edit: Oh, or Boots of Speed? Those are always useful for running away. Remember to request them with mods, so fireproof, +2, etc.

...What if you wish for the amulet though?

You get a cheap plastic imitation that's functionally worthless unless you're into polypiling. (Not kidding.)

Yet Another Stupid Own: I found a /oWishing. On dlevel 2. What would be the best thing for me to wish for?

NetHack.

The Random Number God smiles upon us. I started a game as an orc wizard with a scroll of stinking cloud and a scroll of genocide.

NetHack.

All I remember about that game is starving to death on the first level or 2 because I could never find the secret doors I needed to get to the next room. Dozens of times. Not a fan of food clocks.

I did a thing. It was long, tedious and ultimately pointless.

Yukimura is right to be scared.

Then i made a separate save and made her into a dark falcon, to see how far i would be able to get with just Azura and Corrin. Then i remembered that dark falcon is a flying class. Fuck.

FE Fates.

I've completed ascension 15 with Silent in Slay the Spire, during my quest to convince myself I'm not terrible at the game, merely "good enough."

I did a thing. It was long, tedious and ultimately pointless.

It's a video game, that goes without saying. At least you did the right thing, and posted about it online (not joking, that's what we're here for).

In a very late-game random encounter, a random battle usually gives about 5,000-6,000XP. I managed to boost this to almost 90,000XP. Massive level gains ensue.

Spoiler: ramble stuff (click to show/hide)

Via having my entire battle line consist of three PlatinumNumemons, which has a support skill that increases XP gain. This skill stacks. It also stacks with any equipped Tactical USBs, an equipment item that increases XP gain, obviously. This isn't even the highest I can get it, since only one of the PlatinumNumemons are holding the USBs - they're a pain in the ass to manufacture, and making them is almost the only way to acquire any. I also keep messing up the timing to savescum when the item making is nearly done.

Though a generally weak Digimon, the PlatinumNumemon have gotten to the point they easily handle the enemies in that area - many of the encounters include Machinedramon, MetalSeadramon, Puppetmon, and Piedmon. They're doing pretty good damage with their main attack, Platinum Junk("Excrement" in original Japanese), which strikes with turds made of(if the description is to be believed) refinery waste from purifying platinum ore. Two of them have the spell Texture Blow which inflicts Dot(also called Sprite), which turns an enemy into an 8-bit sprite, weakens them, and limits them to just attacking. The third doesn't because of a different Digivolution path - the first two went from Kudamon->Numemon->GoldNumemon->BlackKingNumemon(since their max level was too low to go directly from GoldNumemon)->PlatinumNumemon and picked up Texture Blow along the way. The third went from PlatinumSukamon(has a smaller EXP boost, how I grinded before)->Etemon->PlatinumNumemon. Not bad for a trio of shit-slingers.

The reason all this experience power-grinding is necessary is because of the ABI(ability) stat. Aside limiting stat gains from boosting items and training, ABI is also often a prerequisite for various Digivolutions. The only way to increase it beside an apparently very rare(I haven't found out how to get more)item is through Digivolving/De-Digivolving, with Digivolving at higher experience levels giving more ABI gain when Digivolving. Digivolving to higher stages also has a significant level requirement as well, for example PlatinumNumemon requires a fairly high Level 65. Right now, I've got a bounce between Paildramon and ImperialDramon(Dragon Mode) in order to get whatever is beyond ImperialDramon(DM), plus trying to get my LadyDevimon statted out to fuse with Angewomon into Mastemon.

Digimon Story Cyber Sleuth.

EDIT: Managed to get Apocalymon. While the method of obtaining him is actually fairly logical in hindsight(it Digevolves from any one of Machinedramon, MetalSeadramon, Puppetmon, and Piedmon), I didn't actually expect the antithesis of all existence to actually be in the game, much less obtainable. I've yet to encounter him as a bonus boss or anything. Even at Level 1, he's stronger than many Mega Digimon at Level 50. His special attack does a fixed 444 damage(a lot, for fixed damage) to all enemies, which is odd given my family's peculiar obsession with that number, in part due to the fact that my grandmother's heart stopped at exactly 4:44PM.

Digimon Cyber Sleuth. Personally, I would think for balance reasons Apocalymon should have been a fusion of all four of the Dark Masters rather than a simple Digevolve of any one of them. Granted, it's requirements are sort of high(Level 99, 120 ABI), at the point I obtained him, grinding is stupid easy.

I've just about gotten a team of top-end Digimon to go tackle the endgame sidequests before finishing the main story. Right now I've got Lilithmon(I was going to use that LadyDevimon for Mastemon, but then I discovered the Digimon incarnation of lust, so yeah, better waifu and hella cuter), Chaosmon, ShineGreymon(Burst Mode), Ravemon(Burst Mode), Ophanimon(the holy counterpart to Lilithmon apparently), ImperialDramon(Paladin Mode), and a couple others I don't remember offhand. Definitely going for a Mastemon(using a new LadyDevimon and Angewomon pair) and maybe Examon.

I built a traction trebuchet, it extremely simple and probably built by a lot of players, but it's fun and it works well and effective against a lot of things!

Playing as Twitch first time. Got lucky. MF did make 10-1 at first, but then got repeatedly slaughtered by my ult. I like this ult.

Now i want to figure out how to play as Ashe. I got a cool skin for her, but all tries so far ended in total failure.

Just beat Astral Birth Void in Kirby Star Allies, and only on my second attempt.

I don't think I could have done it with anyone but Magolor though.  Magolor is a cheating cheat cheat since he has some really abusive attacks, like the giant sword attack that makes him invulnerable for a short time, and with his air block he can become intangible and avoid a lot of the spam attacks from the bosses.

I watched someone beat the boss with Marx, but... I think I'm satisfied having done it with Magolor.

Jumped to an aircraft during a tank battle. See an enemy plane just over a kilometer away, but can't close quickly enough. Fire a quick spray in where I think it'll hit(a target lead designator only appears at 0.75km and below), not expecting it to hit. Then I see a notification that the enemy lost tail control, and I see their plane go from flying relatively level to straight plummet in about a second. I get credit for the kill. That same flight I also strafe an enemy tank and destroy it. Both the plane and the tank earned One Shot(get a kill without missing). Then I returned Safe and Sound - a 300SL award for staying alive in a plane until the timer runs out. Most players will just try to kamikaze an enemy tank, but I have standards.

War Thunder. After that, I decided to try out Germany for the first time(been playing USA the whole time). Had more fun with the two reserve(bottom tier, but always freely repaired instantly) German tanks than I've been having with Tier-3 US tanks.

Second run in with Giovanni, and I had to completely rethink my strategy. 

He still starts with Persian - Normal, but with dark moves which prevent me using my powerful psychics.  Demands a fighting type, but it's hard to get one competetive.

Followed by a weird hippo thing I'd never seen which turned out to be pure ground.  This thing was the bane of my existence.  Guides suggested Venusaur, which should have made me happy because I fricken love grass types, but grass types just don't get quite that beefy!  (...I wonder if Roserade would have worked?  Ah no it's also grass/poison of course.  ...Tangrowth?)

And lastly the prize: Raiku.  Basically a non threat, I mained Rhyperior even before the recent community day.

I start with Mamoswine-
JK I immediately switch for Machamp, because the act of switching stuns the AI for a couple seconds.  There's a timer on switching, but it's worth it.
Machamp proceeds to beat the stuffing out of this normal-type Persian for a few seconds, until the persian starts ineffectually using its dark quickmove.  Off goes "Close Combat".  It's blocked, and Machamp's defense falls.
All according to keikaku.
Machamp continues punching.  The Persian is stunned by the move, but recovers and gets some painful dark claws off on the weakened defense- and Machamp uses Close Combat again.
Again blocked, Giovanni's shields are gone.

FourPunchMan falls quickly afterward.  But unlike my Slaking opener, I've nearly killed that damn cat with just the fast moves.
In comes Mamoswine (DaRude) who gets the kill before the Persian can reaction.  Charging up a Blizzard for DumbGroundHippo (headcanon).  Smack, smack - despite every advantage, it's a tough battle because Team Rocket cheats like heck.  seriously, their CP are like 12K versus my 2.5K.  But they do get stunned a lot and that makes it work.

...Almost.  DaRude goes down, it's just down to Rhyperior (Superior).  Finishes off the stupid hippo, gaining some charge.  In comes Shadow Raiku, getting smacked in the face with rocks.  Eat Superpower!  Our stats go down, but victory is at hand. Eat-

Oh shit it's got a move off- JK I KEPT A SHIELD
Rock rock rock rock and a final Superpower
