Was playing Dark Souls 3 last night, leveling a new character and a host summoned me and another dude to the Farron Swamp.

I thought he wanted to clear the area but after killing everything he just stood around.

So an impromptu fight club started.

And damn me....if I didn't kill the same 3 or 4 invaders 3 times a piece without dying.

I'm not the best at Dark Souls 3 PvP but I've gotten a lot better over time. I was using a very basic strength-based Knight build with the basic armor, Heavy Claymore +4 and about 1000 unembered HP.

And I was crushing these guys. Even beat a dude using the double door shields. The fight club finally ended when the host got killed while I was dueling someone else.

Easily the best sitting of PvP I've ever had.

Did the Parallel World, Girl, and Destiny sidequest, which is several cases that lead to battles against the Seven Deadly Digimon. These were some of the hardest battles in the game. Even my team of max-leveled end-tier Digimon had trouble, though to be fair most of the actual difficulty was due to a generous application of gimicky bullshit. Of all of them, Lucemon(who represents Pride) was the hardest, as it's three straight battles against increasingly more powerful forms with the last being actually invincible(you have to survive until it runs out of HP on its own, then attack). After clearing them is a battle against a bizarre Monzaemon whose signature move, Hearts Attack(normally a healing/buffing move) wiped my entire battle line, but was otherwise surprisingly easy.


As a side note, defeating each of the Seven Deadly Digimon yields an item referred to as an "Evidence of Sin". For example, Creepymon drops Horns of Wrath, Lucemon dropped Wings of Pride, etc. One of the easier battles in my opinion, Lilithmon, gave the "Hair of Lust". One of her attacks, which inflicted Panic on my entire party, it titled "Come, whenever!". I don't think she meant "come" as in "approach".

Started in 1970. Initial investments in industry and citizen welfare came to around 4-5 million rubles. It's mid-July of 1974, and I've managed to recoup my initial expenditures and bring my financial accounts back to their starting levels and then some. Primary exports are steel, fuel, and bitumen, with secondary exports of construction materials(mostly pre-fab panels) and electricity. Was selling coal, but now all coal goes to steel(and power, obviously).

I would say this has been...

*puts on sunglasses ushanka*

...a successful Five-Year Plan.

URAAAAAAAAAH!

Workers and Resources: Soviet Republic. Power, then construction, especially steel, are critical places to start. That said, oil is also a good place to start off with, since bitumen in particular has a high price, plus you need to manufacture your own asphalt(which uses bitumen*) unless you plan to near-fully fund every building. This is because nearly every building's first phase of construction is the groundworks, which requires gravel, asphalt, and concrete(which you must also manufacture), and there are no storage buildings for asphalt and concrete - not even at the factories that make them, they produce directly into the trucks when they arrive.

Without consulting any guides, I have designed Ye Olde Drone, a fairly simple flying machine that is surprisingly potent at clearing all sorts of challenges. Without editing the basic framework at all, I can easily equip any weapons or tools required for any number of tasks. Some tasks require more specialized machines that YOD can't handle on its own, but YOD can absolutely trivialize multiple missions in a row with nothing more than a quick change in loadout.

In our Gloomhaven game, I managed to retire the Brute (fighter). The replacement fighter is...fine (spear symbol), but replaced the tinker/healer. We're at prosperity 3, so should I start the triforce magecharacter, or go with the cragheart/healer?

It's at least a thematic choice. Craghearts and the triforce character come from the same culture, but one got kicked out.

[Dunamisdeos]

Playin' my first campaign of DnD 5e.

Got myself a Monk. We are lvl 2. The big bad in the back of the dungeon was a wizard. He sort of heard us coming as we loudly butchered all of his stupid little cronies, and booked it out of his evil lair. I was fastest, so while the main party gave chase, I ran around another way to cut him off.

I got to him first, and I got to find out what happens when a wizard tries to fistfight a monk. Solo'd the boss before the rest could catch up.

Maybe this isn’t the thread for it, but I wrecked someone at chess.
Quiet and genteel I may have been, but he still got owned.

Tamed and saddled a pternadon. I'm airborne now.

ARK: Survival Evolved. The pternadon is... significantly slower than I expected, but that might be because my gear weighs too much she's getting encumbered by carrying me. Gotta level up that weight stat. I still need to figure out landing gracefully. First time I tried to land in the elevated perch I built for her, she didn't actually land but hovered on the floor, and her wingflaps were knocking me off the ladder to get back up. Had to bind the "Order flyers to land" whistle, since for some reason it's unbound by default.

It's other games, not vidya specifically. So you're good.

Everything I hear about that game makes it sound like quality.

From a recent trip into the swamp, I was able to tame a beezlebufos - a large frog that inflicts torpor damage(like a tranquilizer shot) and eats bugs and turns them into cementing paste - and a breeding pair of dilophosauruses. Upon returning I found a diplocaulus, which massively extends your time underwater while riding it, and tamed it as well.


The bad part is, I now have the Titanosaur camped literally a few dozen meters from my house, apparently stuck on a cliff.

ARK: Survival Evolved. EDIT: Titanosaur is no longer stuck. It doesn't appear to destroy buildings merely by stepping on them, though.

EDIT: Bulldozed and reconstructed the absolute hot mess of garbage that was the main rail junction. Still looks like a hot mess of garbage, but should still avoid the previous rail junction's problem of occasionally having trains lock up because they've somehow ended up on the same track heading towards each other. ...That was kinda bad.

It also only cost about 200,000₽ to instant-build, not much at all. That's about the same amount of income from 4 loads of cargo that wasn't interrupted by the construction project.

I retired my Brute (fighter/tank, in as much as tanking works in Gloomhaven) in Gloomhaven, and brought in his replacement. Because we already had our tinker/healer replaced with another warrior, the brute's replacement Craig Hart, a genderless idiot rock person who can use the power of earth/leaf to heal sometimes, but is considered a failure among rock people because Craig apparently can't control any elements. Craig also throw rocks at stuff, causing splash damage (which ignores armor), and has the old PC attacks we're aware of that ignore the normal "you can't harm allies" rule, and only one enemy we've seen can do it.

The win was I was able to hold back enough to keep to exactly 7 xp gained (my in-mission goal was 7 or fewer xp, which gives double the credit of a normal goal, with a character who can earn 20 fairly easily), and weaken but not kill enemies to let our Scoundrel kill all 15 vermilings in one mission that she needed to retire as well. Also, I got to use the phrase "Hulk Craig is strongest there is!"

Craig's retirement goal is to become a hero and defeat 4 boss monsters (we have seen 1 so far), because they saw a cloud and thought it was a dragon. I'm not sure why seeing a cloud or a dragon makes you want to be a hero, or why killing 4 boss monsters is the exact way to be a hero, but Craig is dumb as hell.

The now-retired Scoundrel will become a Diviner, a class which does not normally attack enemies, which will be wild.

In conclusion, Gloomhaven is a great game if you put a nonzero amount of effort into roleplaying.

Finally finished Strafe. That's the third backlog game I finish this month too (the others being The Incredible Adventures of van Helsing and Thief 2014). So that's nice.

Can't believe my total play time for Strafe was only 6 hours though. (Compared to 22 for van Helsing and 29 for Thief 2014).

B4-D4 is the best Star Wars character, and he [lie] assures you he will cause no trouble.
