we're all mad here

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

When Spiral Abyss plays itself.

Just a quick cabin at Spectacle Island for Riddick until he builds the place up properly later. It’s going to be one of his starter Nuka World raider bases, though I think Jamaica Plain is gonna be the first one and become raider HQ in the process. Anyways, simple cabin is simple partly because I know I’ll most likely tear it down once I do the real build, but also because I didn’t bring any building resources with me. This was one of the worst runs I’ve ever had at this island, which is saying a lot because on survival difficulty it’s a pain to begin with… but whatevs, it belongs to Goggles now.

One of the reasons I even bothered to go do this now is because I forgot PAM would default to picking it for Mercer Safehouse since it was the only non-owned/non-occupied settlement left on the Commonwealth map. Took a ridiculous amount of save-scumming to get her to pick something decent even after I yoinked Spectacle Island, but whatevs, Mercer is at Red Rocket now and Spectacle Island is safely reserved for either the Pack or the Operators.

Riddick attempted some kind of semi-deconstructed build for the Nordhagen Beach family, and it sort of works? I think I may add on to it later, especially on the front side (where the Nuka Cola mixer is) because I’m pretty sure I can extend the ground floor out from there really easily. Then this place could house more than three people… but I’m also not sure I need the space. Hmm.

Either way, they have a veritable gaggle of doggos, and a nice view of El Blimpo now that it’s in town.
