Oh I hit master in tft like two weeks ago be proud of me it wasn't actually all that hard once I, ya know, stopped with the memes and inting my midgame for fun //shrug
I've also been playing a LOT of isaac recently. it's a good thing.
And Darkest Dungeon 2. Apparently the third boss is too random so they're reworking it? But I beat it first try cuz my luck was super good? idk I didn't even understand the mechanic of the fight properly, I was just upset that I couldn't actually beat the first phase and had to stall it out so that the game's softlock timer popped and let me move to phase 2 lmaooo
I've also been on a bit of a pokemon romhack kick again. Gonna try running insurgence again and see how that goes~ I also really want to finish a nuzlocke of renegade platinum if only because you can manipulate to get a growithe or houndour early which means I can take turtwig starter :) I'm def not going to play it blind again tho because not knowing roark's geodude has FIRE PUNCH is really upsetting to wipe to.
And on the real-life gaming side, I've been bowling a Lot. A few of my friends got really into bowling recently and joined a league and I go to a lot of their practices~ For being a gamer that is allegic to physical activity, I'm doin alright. My typical game now is ~130 cuz I struggle to pick up spares :( Seriously, I hit hard splits more often than I can grab the lone 5 pin it's quite horrible.
I also managed to get everyone to play laser tag !! I used to be a bit of a tryhard years ago (I had monthly passes and membership rewards for the competitive group in my area; I'd usually play 1-3 times a week for 3-6hrs) but I was never able to really convince friends to come with me before. Everyone had tons of fun tho and they have reduced prices for groups so hopefully I can get everyone to go 1/week and get back into it. I could really use the physical activity ;-; I was so sore after only 3hrs (and I wasn't even tryharding I was going slow). I will say that my acc is still on point (; 80-90% with over 200 shots is pretty dang good. I went one game really tryharding for acc and got a 113/124 or smth

bro so I'm doing ref sheet designs for some Circle cats and I just read the short description and make the design then I look back at the extended description and I'm just like. staring because I always forget a little detail and have to go back and edit. This has happened multiple times now. Why I don't just read the extended description FIRST is. Because I'm not smart enough to do that apparently.
I'm still stuck on how black black should be because pure black is bad but too light and then it looks more dark grey (because it is) :/:/
Also I had to fix waxcrest three times, twice because he was too sparkly and the sparkles went out of the lines (and because they're white markings, I didn't see them against the transparent png background until I uploaded it and put it against the forum blue)

So more Clangen amiright
I really really want to keep with my extended narrative run but I also really want to try some of the fun challenge runs but I don't want to use those to distract me from my main run but I really want to do something faster paced I also really want to try an artlocke But I SUCK at art tbh (I'm getting alright with designs like. Learning. But Posing and Shape is Hard)

I did start an artlocke
I was gonna do the smart thing like a MC challenge so I wouldn't have to make so many designs but NOOO I decided to do the hardest thing possible and make not one, but TWO Clans for the artlocke zzzzzzzz
I. Might have to change that :(
Also tft new set is funky and I still don't know the econ vs power curve yet apparently cuz I keep LOSING like a LOSER

I figured out how to use snipping tool straight to imgur and now I am all powerful. Time for an annotated isaac run <3 I gotta do the Boys(tm) FAST MODE. Also m. satan because BOTH my up and down runs had keys but I died before I could get there.... j&e suck. They're my last non tainted characters with achievements left tho so time to get done with it.

got t.laz greedier done today too =O I thought I was screwed because I accedentally flipped instead of using nail so I only had One Boy to pretty much nohit greedier. But of course I'm a god and nohit greedier (: I only had two red hp and a soul heart so yeah I had some wiggle room but hey if I CAN nohit him then I SHOULD right?

t.cain complete I just needed witness who I got thru last night and then hush/void which I did just now with the most broken build 4.5v + friends + slipped rib = tears can't hit me. I also had metal plate and circle of protection just for funzies. Anyways, made the bullet hells a literal walk through. Had no dmg but eh. The first time I went to void I actually crashed the boss cuz I was taking too long and delirium is already glitchy af so I had to redo it but there was no threat of dying either time sooooo

break from isaac because I keep ramming my face into j&e mega satan runs and getting nowhere with it.
I'm actually super proud of my writing recently? I usually like my ideas but not the prose, but I'm really enjoying my flow for this Clangen history project that I'm doing on the Clangen discord and that makes me super happy! I feel like my characters are given personality through the prose; usually my dialogue is pretty bland? One dimensional? but this one I feel like I'm able to share information, the character's mental state, and make a comment on the worldbuilding all with one line at some point which is epic

Been loving Gunfire Reborn though, and just picked up the 2 dlcs they made for it so can't wait to try em out 😅 Also, HI! *waves* Hey! Welcome! Gunfire reborn is certainly awesome~ I'm a little sad that they're pushing out so much DLC instead of revamping some of the base game variety. I think they've added a few new trials and etchings since I played, but while the gameplay loop is awesome and the guns are great, I think the power curve can be a little lacking and the balance is poor. Still a great game, and super great vibes, just the "must get one or two specific scrolls or you lose the run" at higher difficulties was a turnoff for me. Isaac is totally worth it if you're a roguelike fan. It literally is THE roguelike. I have over 1k hours in it and I haven't even unlocked everything (to be fair, I had a very unfortunate moment where all my previous data corrupted and I had to restart when Forgotten released, which set me back a few hundred hours. oof)

I haven't really had to many issues with Gunfire yet, but I am only 60ish hours in and have only played Crown Prince so far. BUT I can pretty consistently get to the final zone on elite solo now so that's pretty cool lol
I'm going to level up Nona next I think, I'm absolutely infatuated with red pandas, and from what I've seen her skill reminds me of gaige's deathtrap from borderlands, so I'm pretty excited
Binding has always been on my list to play but I also have a gazillion games on that list so yeah 💀

OOF. I know that struggle I've done that so many times and I think I may do it again here soon. My wife and I were going to play through the Resident Evil franchise but that fell off QUICK. So I'm thinking about just running through them all that way I can make some space for *ahem* more mmo's

Satisfactory is very satisfying We'll see how I like it once it gets to the later stages of the game because I tend to love factory building in the early stages and hate the rebuilding rebuilding rebuilding grind. Upgrades = good. Redesigning my entire factory from the ground up because I got an upgrade and the current setup is no longer the efficient build path = BAD BAD EVIL

idk how many people check this for Brownie Updates(tm) but I wanted to make a little shoutout about my life rn and what you can expect from me in the upcoming weeks.
So I don't know how many of yall have heard this through discord or w/e but tl;dr: I changed meds very slightly due to a shortage on my old ones like... a week ago? And I've been going Through It on this new stuff like. Side effects everywhere, bouncing between being really tired/lethargic to panic attacks and restlessness it's just been exhausting dealing with it. I got an appointment to try and fix it as soon as I could book one, but it's still going to be another few days before I can see anyone and who knows what they can actually DO about it sjfkjafdkf. I'm hopeful everything will be fine and the doc can do something to help fix this, but it's probably going to be at LEAST a week before I'm back to normal.
So I apologize that I've dropped a few projects (mostly my misc games and databasing, but also my Clangen writing projects) but yeah I just am moving day-to-day right now and scheduling a block of time for tasks is simply not possible for me this last week. I'd love to get back to it asap because I do enjoy them !! But it might be a little bit before I feel I can start slowly adding them back into the mix and get back to the schedule I held previously.
I'm just super frustrated because I think I finally found a good balance of projects and for once it's not me getting overwhelmed it's an entirely external and out of my control event that's ruined everything this time :(

broooos I've been playing so much pixelmon...
I was close to 100% dex on the last version but then the big version update came out the qol and worldspawn changes on this version are amazing btw not only is byg SOOO much better than bop, but the pokemon spawns are more evenly spread. "hoards" where the pokemon spawn in clusters are also an awesome addition. They also FINALLY made pixelmon work with journeymap (which I actually turned off, because it was TOO op!! I wanted to have the joy of finding rare spawns with my own eyes instead of seeing it on the minimap)
I got a really early exp all from a masterball loot (also loot spreads are so much nicer! And masterball loot grotto variation!! And BAGS!!!) so I'm doing rather well. My false swiper is excavlier this time, which is the first time I'm using this mon. Having only one weakness (even if it's 4x it's fire which is rare coverage), over half of the types are resists (including normal) + toxic immunity AND really bulky stats is kinda broken. Doesn't matter that I'm slow if nothing deals more than 5%.
Already sitting at a 25% dex including several ultra rare spawns I just happened upon. Including Throh which took me like, a 4hr grind last save file and hawlucha which can be a pain as it's a UR dawn spawn.
Once my party is a little more leveled (only my starter and escavlier are 50+) I'll probably up the legendary spawn rate so I can get them more naturally. I don't want it to be like last file where I pretty much finished the dex and then just had to afk farm legendary spawns. I don't mind grinds that take a while as long as they are ACTIVE grinds, but just. Afking for an event isn't skillful, it's just a waste of time; I don't feel guilty speeding that up LMAO. But not quite yet, because my party isn't strong enough to consistantly CATCH legendaries at lvl50/70 spawns so not gonna turn them up until I hit that breakpoint.
oh I also got three full odds shinies (at the gen 6+ 4100 odds not the 7000): skitty, hoothoot and magmar. So.... not the best group but hey it's better than my first file that got three hoothoots and a greedent as my first shinies lmaooo
I'm using the livingdex tracker (or will be, once I bother updating it) so if anyone's curious to "watch" my progress lmk and I'll dm you the link. I forgot how TEDIOUS it is to sort boxes </3 But I have a lot of practice, so at least I know by muscle memory which slot each of the 30 numbers go in......

Post by Brownie on Aug 30, 2023 10:53:06 GMT -5
the pixelmon save is at ~63% dex there's another probably ~10% sitting in box waiting for evolutions and stones and I haven't even STARTED fossil mons yet which is ~3%
My home base is in between a roofed forest, plains and taiga; the roofed forest is super important because there are SEVERAL UR encounters there. I got a really early spiritomb!! Usually that is a horrible hunt
The only bad thing is that I usually base in savannah and there are MANY horrible savannah hunts. 2x Lickitung, Kangaskhan, emboar and torchic lines; as well as copperajah for protector and rhydon/nidoking for kings rock (crawdaunt hunting for those is sometimes easier, sometimes worse). I usually base in savannah so those tend to just come naturally but this is going to be a GRIND. At least I got my pig and chicken 1 copy each already.
The only gen 1 mons I need are bulbasaur[got ivy first sadge], [Kangaskhan, Jynx, snorlax; 1% in savannah, snowy forest and ehills forest respectively] porygon [making machines for parts isn't working??] dratini line[easy to get one, probably, from fishing at night], happiness for blissey evo, and ditto [ICK] (+ fossils and legends)
Anyways the hunts are going rather well. Finished my eevee hunt and the mr. mime UR encounter in birches yesterday. Legendary spawning items (bells, orbs, ect) are rarer I think; I only have the zapdos orb and 5/17 plates which is rough.
I DO have all the berries to make shiny incense tho. Excited to try that once the dex is done!!

oh no I started making perchance randomizers someone stop me before it's too late
I unfortunately have the minimal HTML and python knowledge to understand this language. Soon I will become unstoppable. I'm gonna make up so many character trait generators... that can adaptively change odds based on what other traits are pulled.... and then make it super pretty with custom HTML outputs.......
