I just beat the Bubbler rematch in Diddy Kong Racing.  I feel like that's something I could use to get into The Salty Spitoon.

Hate that stupid octopus.  I'll be hearing his laughs in my nightmares.

Ate SCP-682 from the inside after it was irradiated and turned giant, thus killing it.

Kill SCP-682 Character AI Bot

I thought the entire point of 682 was that it was indestructible because it evolved too quickly to threats?

[Eric Blank]

Apparently not if you eat it from the inside, thus giving it a debilitating tummy ache

[King Zultan]

What is Character AI bot?

[Great Order]

It's a site with one of the more modern chatbots that's far closer to talking to an actual person. Someone made one where you have to try to kill 682 which is surprisingly difficult.

Managed a standard enlightenment victory with the aspirant start and a lantern cult, smashing my way through the game via trial and error and kicking myself when I forget there are things I can do (like subverting lore!) to make things go a bit quicker toward the end point.

Endless dreams of the Stag Door were had, ‘cause evidently my way of dealing with expeditions is to throw calignes and maids-in-the-mirror and red prophets and money at them.

I did manage to keep my job at Glover and Glover for the longest time though, to the point I didn’t have to… deal with… Mr Aldern. I’m not sure it’s worth actually getting promoted beyond that though, since it’s so easy to lose the job if you can’t get rid of notoriety reliably.

I did murder three hunters too, two of whom were named and I accidentally gave the Tenacious trait to (which makes them harder to kill),  and had two of my cultists (one was a seer!) locked up. I know of one way to get a favour to deal with that, but by the time I felt I should try to get it it’s too late.

Anyway, on to a different start, different desires, and different cults. Might even buy the DLC

Just killed me first "Diamond" ranked prey in TheHunter: Call of the Wild.
After reaching level 37 and having walked for +380 km on foot on the Layton Lake map (The Hunter is probably the best walk simulator of them all as the map are so large and frankly amazing looking even on very low settings for my old PC) , i finally killed my first diamond.

Can't believe it took me that insane amount of gameplay hours to finally get 1 diamond as so far the most i saw was at most gold level.
And what was the prey that was ranked Diamond : one of those damned stealth bastard, a rabbit i mean ... a damn rabbit, meaning the money/xp/weapon score bonus from the rank was barely noticable, oh well still happy i got my medal list getting 1 in front of diamond i guess.

Just my luck, i wonder if i will ever see a "great one" (rank above diamond) in my lifetime considering how much it took to see a diamond

Found a Building 21 card a while back, so me and my friend decided to dive into it. First few rounds went as expected, but we actually managed to exfil a couple of times. One time we barely made it because the wheelson set up outside the lift and minced us while the doors were closing, but we survived long enough for it to count. Managed to get a good few operator kills too.

Just killed me first "Diamond" ranked prey in TheHunter: Call of the Wild.

I've got 80 hours* total in this game and I've only seen 2 diamonds and no sign of a "great one". The first diamond was a mallard.....

The second one was a friggin' moose that I stumbled randomly across while trying to clear a few missions before a game update that was going to reset the map. I was next to a lake trying to take a picture of a bear I couldn't find and saw this thing lumbering over to take a drink. I have a skill that lets me estimate the approximate trophy level when spotting things, so I knew when I saw it it had a chance of being a diamond rank (also guessed from the giant friggin' antlers)... and this made me incredibly nervous because messing up the kill by failing to hit a vital organ or taking more than two shots automatically demotes it by one rank to "gold". I ended up spending far too long crawling around in the grass trying to get a good angle, but somehow finally managed to line up a perfect shot that miraculously dropped it within seconds.

One of my best moments in the game, second only to the time I spent hours looking for, stalking and finally successfully taking down an incredibly rare albino (female) elk.


*To be fair, a reasonable proportion of my "playtime" is getting into position in a blind and then sitting around reading for half an hour with the game minimized, waiting for an animal to show up to eat/drink/rest at a need zone. It can be that sort of game.

[Robsoie]

i usually never spend any time in a blind , mostly because i'm often unlucky and nearly nothing comes around them (and sometime those pre-built blinds are terribly located ) , i have more fun just walking around until i either hear a prey or spot some interesting track that i'll follow.
The only times i went into a blind is for trying some of the missions (for the xp as fortunately they are usually not really worth doing) that required being in one at a specific area and killing a specific prey, i just hated those .

Anyways, took me a long, very long time to grind the +3200 shotgun score required (due to all shotgun ammo having extremely low penetration, good luck to hit a vital organ to get your weapon best score, and even with the ammo specific to rank 1 prey you'll still never get more than 25 shotgun score for each kill) but i finally unlocked the last ammo type for that kind of weapon, the 12 GA Slug, and wow what a massive difference it does (as it has huge penetration).
Felt like i achieved something when i shot a Roosevelt Elk (those animals look really great in the game even with my very low visual quality settings)  that immediately died with both its lungs pierced by the slug ammo, something impossible with the previous shotgun ammo i had.

Fucking clawed my way to forming Aotearoa. Getting my GDP up was difficult, buoyed only by my gold mines. Kept building, pausing construction to let my debt recover enough to continue building again, repeat ad nauseum.

Then the UK decided it hated me for no reason. Started harming relations. It took 20. Fucking. Years. to pull my relations up with them because I couldn't just bankroll them without burning up all my credit in a matter of months.

Then I formed a council republic because I wanted to. Didn't know that'd upset the whole world including New South Wales who I, again, had to claw my relations up with.

Finally, *finally*, formed it though. It's the year 1911, and the Maori are in their rightful place as the undisputed rulers of Oceania.

Survived my first Shapeshifting Tribulation. Xiong Gong, a Bear Yaoguai following the Six Paths Reincarnation Law, trained for over a year before reaching the second breakthrough of the Creed of Asura stage.

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

Second breakthrough, because for Six Paths, the initial part of each stage massively drops their stats - the start stage for Creed of Asura puts them about as weak as a decent-statted Qi Shaper.

By the time he broke through, he had already high skills, including one that more or less locked his Mental State at 125, no matter how long he cultivated or used Spiritual Breath Chant(mind the Obsessions). The breakthrough put his max qi at 108k.

Left my agency at Mt. South untouched for nearly a year as well, except for sending Xiong Gong to deal with disasters(even weak, a Primordial Spirit is still a Primordial Spirit as far as disaster recovery efforts go), allowing it to accumulate over 2 million belief - which for Xiandao Cultivators converts to skill points. Maxed out his Protection skill, and sent him to the library to study a lot of useful manuals: Reversa Cycle, a few unorthodox manuals, etc. After all that, fed him a Spirit Crystal, Spirit Stone, Qi Regen Pill, used Spiritual Breath Chant to fill up. Then started the tribulation.

Shapeshifter Tribulations are actually five tribulations, one of each element, in this case 5 clouds of 40k qi. It looked to me that most of Xiong's qi was spent recharging his artifact for about 1000 every few seconds. It was doing damage, though. I did stop casting Innate Qi for a while, because I thought it cost too much qi and because I misread the effect for Reversa Cycle. That one is a spell that instantly restores the user's qi, which I had thought had said cost a little over 3000 qi to restore 17k qi, but I was wrong. I left an extra 0 off that. It restores 170k qi, and has no other cost. It's broken as hell. And with it so was the tribulation. And the now-human Xiong Gong has four ears for some reason, two human, two bear.

About halfway through the tribulation, the Seven-Slaughtering Sect, probably thinking that with our only Primordial Spirit-level cultivator tied up fighting a cloud of literally Heaven pissed off at him that it was an easy score. Except both were only Core Shaping-level. The promptly got punched in the face by our resident physical cultivator, their dying bodies thrown into the Hellgate, and one of them definitely going to feed the Crimson Tree that I probably never should have planted.

Just beat Wizpig, using Pipsy.  Where's my trophy?

I seriously wonder sometimes if Rare play tested this game with actual kids, or if they just tuned it based on the developers who played it for 5+ hours a day as part of development.  I don't think I could have possibly beaten this as a kid.  You have to be almost perfect with getting green boosts on zippers, and on top of that you have to know that you need to let off of the A button afterward to get extra boost out of it.

I'm wondering now if that's a bug.  The game doesn't tell you about it, and only tells you that if you let off of the button before hitting a zipper that you get a boost.  If it's a bug, I'm questioning how you'd beat Wizpig without it.

Ugh, just a few more silver coin races and the rematch with him left.

Diddy Kong Racing

Edit: Finished the game last night, and can now die happy knowing I've avenged my childhood against this game and will never have to race Wizpig ever again in my life.  The rematch wasn't as hard as the original, but still sucked.  I must have screwed up the first 10 seconds of the race 20 times.

Odd that the Future Fun World races were generally a good bit easier than the Dragon Forest races.

Pumped a girl full of everything I could give her, as hard as I could. Even to the point of breaking her heart.

And by that I mean I made my first Tier 1 Golden Core. I wouldn't do anything untoward to a woman(plus she does have a boyfriend). So many rare magical drugs were consumed, and millions of points of inspiration were used for the necessary skills, including Remolded Lifeblood which results in a permanent heart injury that there are only two ways to cure: Rebirth, or a single pill whose recipe is very hard to acquire, and I'm not entirely sure about Rebirth. On the other hand, once I have that recipe, she can make it because she's the sect's alchemy specialist. Even better, during the breakthrough, when her qi had fallen to around 25%, a random event fired that fully restored it. The total score was over 185k.

Darn it, now I kinda want to play that again. Pretty sure I remember Pipsy being my main, too.

I wonder if it'll end up on the Switch emulator.
