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

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.

Yep. He’s home. On both the main account and the f2p challenge. Main bagged his light cone as well, f2p is going without… but f2p got Gambler-kun in two 10-pulls. ‘Course, they had decent pity and full guarantee so yeah, this was gonna happen regardless. And the irony is, his story-mode trial version slotted sooo much better into f2p’s best team compared to the main account, but that’s mostly because Blade doesn’t work well with a shielder.

Jing Yuan: I’m not sure I approve of this fellow… but I do like his shields.
Aventurine: I love you too, General-sama~

Baby showcase stats included for an attempt at a crit build, featuring the f2p variant. Does it work? Who the hell knows, he’s got almost no traces. Happy eating of my resources for the next few weeks, bud! :D

Ehh sure, let’s throw the Slog build up today too. This is another Riddick production, with not a whole lot going on inside the original building and I did jack all with the swimming pool… but the roof got an upgrade. The new white building is a whole room for two water pumps and three carrots because I forgot the tarberries count towards food supplies. Eh, if I add more people here later, there can be more carrots to be all carroty together.

Up the tower is the power supply and random power armor frame storage until I get them moved to Home Plate. There is a lot of that going on, hell, County Crossing has like three of the feckin’ things on their tower now… I should do something about that. At least I can finally summon vertibirds, that’ll help a lot.

And we totally didn’t pare the population here down by one… because Deirdre isn’t marked essential and can die to stupid crap… and it’s annoying to provide for 7 people versus 6 or 9, especially when one can topple over because a bloatfly got too close… and there’s a deathclaw across the river who doesn’t much like stray bullets… so somehow we ended up with a lovely 6 even ghouls and a deathclaw steak dinner.
