DP ‘cause I’m apparently the best.

Got an 8192 in 4096. Could’ve got a 16384, but I accidentally flicked up when I had another 4096 to upgrade. Ah well, not sure if you can get more than that and it took me too long to get to that point.

After grinding for 3 days and probably over a hundred Countess kills, I finally got the pul rune I needed to upgrade my weapon (Athena's Wrath) in Diablo II: Resurrected.

I'd been cubing up every rune she dropped, but it was intensely frustrating that she dropped only like 3 runes above hel in all of those runs.  I had 2 lem runes, 2 fal runes, 2 ko runes, 3 lum runes and 2 io runes, so I needed like... 1 more of any of those for like 50 runs.  I did the math and saw that I was going to need thousands of thul runes to cube up what I needed, but she almost never dropped anything better than that.  Until, finally, she gave me the pul rune outright.

I hate thul runes now.  Chipped topazes are almost as rare as high runes when you need them, so you end up with gobs of them choking your stash and it starts to make you wonder if it's worth picking them up.  A dozen normal cow runs and just opening every chest and killing everything in sight through act 1 got me like 4.  I think I understand when people say they don't grab anything below like lum.

Oh well, I got it, and my werewolf druid now does almost 4k damage with fury and my act 2 mercenary.  I can honestly say I've never had a melee character in Diablo II that actually felt powerful until now.  Usually by the time I get to hell difficulty, killing even trash enemies is a chore even with crushing blow.

Now I just hate physical immunes.

Started the game as Lama Ladonna, the character that gets stronger and faster every 10th level but also makes the enemies stronger. The goal was to last 30 minutes to unlock skull o' maniac and unlock Pugnala Provola by opening her coffin in the Mad Forest.

The curious thing, I never felt like I was in any danger. I ended up having the Death Spiral, Thousand Edge, Hellfire, Soul Eater (say what you want, garlic is a great weapon), La Borra, and, underwhelmingly, the runecaster.
The bats at the last minute were surprisingly easy to survive, but unfortunately weren't soft enough to grant me new arcana.

Dang, I just tried Exdash for the first time, and while I couldn't clear enemies fast enough to keep myself safe in the last minute, the combination of Soul Eater, Bloody Tear, Pummarola, Empty Tome and armor somehow made me regenerate HP faster than I took damage.
Oh, and NO FUTURE is underwhelming.

EDIT:

This was not supposed to be a new post; I wanted to edit the last one. I blame my piece of trash phone.

My inquisition beaten up War. Then turned him into a frog. Then looted his sword. And then died to a small bunch of centaurs. Too bad i didn't have replays enabled.

Garlic is actually fantastic, but primarily for its debuff ability; combo it with Lancet or something with strong knockback like Wand to just stand there... on the other hand, I find its upgrade to be decidedly uninteresting, and pretty much a waste of a support slot. Sure, +aoe is good and all, but there are more useful things.

Cleared the debt.

Also, attaching a demo charge to a class II reactor makes for some mighty fine fireworks. And yes, doing that was actually involved in clearing the debt.

EDIT: Finally worked through the conversation minigame to complete the first step of the main quest. Helps that my sect leader started with an absurd social skill even before I added the Hedonist trait at start, which is pretty much required to get information out of people. Also helps that one of the three people I needed to talk to was home when I finally had the information confront them.

You're doing the main quest in ACS? My deepest condolences.

You should really look to the wilderness for your stealth ideas, it has been doing it much longer than you have after all. Take squids for example, that ink trick works pretty well, and in water too! So you just sneak into the dam upsteam, dump several megatons of distressed squid into it, then break the dam. Boom, you suddenly have enough water-proof stealth for a whole city!

I downloaded Tour de France 2021 as part of Sonys new PlayStation Plus shit, and as is my wont in sports games, I was immediately drawn to the “create an athlete in the sport and play their career” mode.

This also meant I had to create a cycling team for some reason, and one of the shirts had a sponsor or something called Magma on the back, so I created the Bay12 Racing Team.

I also won the World Championship in my second season in what was the most boring race imaginable, but the game offers a fast forward feature which was used extensively to make a 280km race a bit more bearable.

I pushed off half a horde of zombies off a cliff at once, using the fire blasts of Dragon's Fury. And got out of it alive.

The bridge was narrow and had no railings, sure. But they did fall because of me and had to recross the parkour again to get to us, that is what counts.

I got into the College of Winterhold by sneaking through the Midden Dark and the Midden.

The hardest parts were actually entering Midden Dark, as it is on top of a clif, and killing the Frost Wraith in Midden.

What happens to the College questline in this case? Does it just skip the entrance initiation? Can you, as a rogue character, just sneak into the College, and then everyone just assumes you're supposed to be there and you end up as Archmage?

Quickedit: This would make the "By right of cleverness. I am Master of the College of Winterhold." dialogue option in Sovngarde at the bridge possibly the most hilarious dialogue option in ES history.

In all the various times I've played this game, I don't think I've ever cleared the Fire Cavern with the 10-minute time limit. Beat it in less than five; Ifrit took only about a minute. Not counting the couple of hits before hand, probably could have one-shot him with Renzokuken, which was boosted via a strength junction of 100 Water spells, meaning a +20 to strength which started the game at 8.
