we're all mad here

Making the kiddos fight their own battle on the No Wishing challenge.

Father one-shot Freminet right before the end of the story mode fight. She one-shot him twice during the max-level weekly boss variant, once about half way through phase two and once right before the end. I think I’ll have them farm the level 80 variant, since it’s quite a struggle on max and I have no idea if/when they’ll even need the drops. That’s been the case with Apep for quite a while now, even though they can technically out-DPS phase two on a good day… it just ain’t worth the braincells.

Those who live in glass houses… have pretty houses?

I hadn’t planned on doing Vault 88 with Riddick yet, but got the inkling of at least breaking into the joint while trying to not die of a massive migraine yesterday morning. Somehow the distraction factor worked, and the end result is this lil’ transparent township for a few lucky residents. Carrot lady mostly stands around repeating how DeLiCiOuS the damned soda is, and how I let her go on breaks all the time (news to me). At least I can use glass ceilings here since it’s all technically indoors, and the settlers won’t bitch about unsheltered beds.

I didn’t even open up the other sections yet, gonna do that later with Danse I think. Still trying to slog through the rest of non-endgame Railroad content and I might just give up and go side with the Minutemen, but for now… “Yeah yeah, sure, give me another MILA and make me hike across the Commonwealth to kill critters in a location that Randolph Safehouse should have literally nothing to do with.”

I put Father in Homa and a full HP Noblesse set. She likes the spear and disapproves of the rest. Sorry luv, but you need levels and the friendship farm team needs a Noblesse user. XD

I’m only getting her on the main account for now. Wish session results as follows, both 5-stars rocketed in early which is nice:
Keqing C4
Arlecchino C0
Lynette C1-C3
Freminet C1-C4
Xiangling C6billion

Graygarden finally got a proper build in Riddick’s game, although the old version wasn’t bad… adding some GNR peeps and the robots insisting on claiming beds meant it was easier to just add beds and make a pretty apartment building-esque thing in the process. So the old stairway to the overpass became structure for the new section, and everybody’s happy with their beds. Probably.

Longfellow has been based here ever since I picked him up. Even though I’ve earned his perk since then, he’s staying in the party until I find someone less faction-fiddly than Danse to haul around the Commonwealth. Needa do Bobbi’s quest, then I can lock in Hancock and I’m thinking he might be my default minion to fight with once everyone’s been perk farmed. Him or Gage… hmm.

When the stats are too good to not use.

Riddick: “Their names are Snuggums and Woogums, and if you look at them funny, I will fucking kill you.”

Me: A'ight Riddick, your Survival difficulty redo is VATS blitz melee.

The legendary loot:

He has an exploding combat rifle in his stash too. Still hoping for a good disciples blade to drop, but I’m not sure that’s even in the loot table since he hasn’t been to Nuka World yet… though Pack armor has been dropping, so…? Fingers crossed.

Oop, there’s AR59 popping for the No Wishing challenge in Scara this morning. So that puts them at four months out from AR60, roughly. Will they get a new character to play with by then? Let’s hope so. Kuki would be awesome because I reeeally need someone for superconduct who is not Lisa… and yes, electro Traveler sort of works but it’s still not great. Beidou would be decent although I’m probably stuck waiting for Lantern Rite to snag her. As for other elements, let’s see… Chevreuse… Kirara… c'mon Hoyo, let it be someone useful. :3

Build/pull progress tier list for the Genshin Impact f2p challenge. Gonna copy/paste what I put on hoyolabs cuz I needa stop procrastinating and work on my mail-in ballot for the 2024 primary. Thus:

Not sure who I should build next, maybe Freminet though this account is verrry phys-heavy so there’s a lot of fighting over Pale Flame lol. Built chars have level 90 weapons and their own gear, plus three characters have alternate sets: Zhongli is my main and runs phys by default though he does have a healer-lulz build, Baizhu usually runs DPS and has a beefy support alternate, and Shinobu runs either full EM hyperbloom or full support Tenacity heals.

Oh and while checking Traveler’s builds I discovered he has some work done in electro, guessing I was building him for superconduct before I finally got Shinobu… honestly can’t remember. His one dendro crown is in normal attacks because I used to run him phys too.

Next banner to pull will be Baizhu for C1. A lot of the chars in the “probably won’t pull” tier of this list I have on my main account, or plan to pull there. I like the variety difference and focus shift for this account. And I’m out of description characters so… meow! :D
