04:05:43 syv: What do you mean by "god run"?
04:06:04 syv: Also, a little sad we went with Indignation over metal magic. Oh well.
04:07:38 syv: I think my initial commentary on MM was a bit too harsh.
04:11:35 Devastator: That's the god run.
04:13:42 syv: That title is a lie, pretty sure.
04:13:56 syv: No hit SL1 have been done on the entire series.
04:14:16 syv: I think someone or other did _literally_ the entire series all in a row with no hit, couple years ago.
04:15:05 syv: Maybe specifically SL1 no-hit entire-series hasn't been done...? That feels a little doubtful.
04:17:26 Devastator: Yeah, that's one of the guys who did it. The new run is just with an extra game on it.
04:26:37 syv: Wonder why he's doing BB first, and not DaS2
04:26:46 syv: Might just be because it's not all-bosses
04:27:00 syv: But DaS 2 is still considered harder to no-hit, IIRC.
04:27:11 syv: Especially without levels...
04:27:16 Devastator: Dunno what the rules say, but eh.
04:57:05 syv: I like how he runs past most things, but always kills the dogs first.
04:58:28 syv: Watching this he really doesn't need many rolls. I wonder how hard it'd be to do this but with no/roll/block/parry on top.
04:59:04 syv: So far in the BB run he uses guns a fair bit, which would be parries, kinda.
04:59:28 syv: And the obvious extension to that is no backstabs, which would definitely make things harder.
05:19:26 Devastator: it's still like 14 hours of no-hit.
05:20:19 Devastator: tempted to play that SNES airline simulator.
05:20:28 Devastator: there's a trick in the opening that I always wanted to pull off.
05:21:30 Devastator: The big difficulty level choice is what city you start in. Cities that start you with more money are much easier.
05:22:32 Devastator: One of the worst cities to start in is Vancouver, which is tiny with bad stats, starts you with very little money, and essentially guarantees you to not win North America, in a game that requires you to win multiple different regions to win the game.
05:23:16 Devastator: But as the game grades distances, it happens to be 4750 km from both London and Tokyo, being the only place where you can fly the pacific with the available starting aircraft.
05:23:41 Devastator: so if you open both routes early on you can make an absolute shitload of money having a monopoly on trans-pacific flight.
05:24:05 syv: Oh it's super impressive no doubt
05:24:14 syv: He's really, really, really good
05:26:25 Devastator: ie, charging like +30% normal cost for something like 1300/seat, with 90% of it being profit.
05:27:35 Devastator: that's like 10+ million a quarter in a route, which pays for the plane in six months.
05:28:04 Devastator: the downside is you lose your home region.
05:28:11 Devastator: and have half the starting funds.
06:35:25 Devastator: oh my god, trying it. My opponent draw is Hong Kong, Bagdad, and Sao Paolo. Damn near ideal, although a Russia or Berlin would have been even better.
07:12:51 Devastator: yeah, with zero competition I'm literally charging max value for daily flights to london and tokyo.
07:13:04 Devastator: identical profits of 13410k per quarter.
07:16:32 Devastator: you normally need like wide-body jumbos to crack 10 million.
07:16:49 Devastator: not 4 Lockheed Super Constellations working as hard as any plane, ever. ;-p
07:20:09 Devastator: oh god, that was a mistake.
07:20:14 Devastator: I bribed the Batistas.
07:35:23 Devastator: yeah, I mean.. I need more big jets. Can just afford two a cycle, which will free up more Super Constellations to be used on other routes.
07:35:28 Devastator: anyway, enough for tonight.
07:35:32 Devastator: sorry for the babbling,
syv.
07:35:56 syv: It's not really an issue for me
07:36:11 syv: That's like 30 seconds of reading. :v
07:37:47 Devastator: yeah, it looks like the hong kong one expanded out first, while the others are mostly redundant. Maybe I should aim for five regions, then.
07:38:09 Devastator: Probably not worth it to fight in SE Asia, it's too heeavily competitive.
07:38:40 Devastator: that means I need to take south america from the Sao Paolo company, which should be doable.
07:39:27 Devastator: I might also not be doomed to irrelevance in NA because the network may be big enough to actually get people to fly through Vancouver.
07:44:16 syv: Go up to Vancounver from the USA to fly Pacific?
07:46:02 Devastator: yes, because the issue is all flights within a region go through your hub city.
07:46:20 Devastator: Since I didn't start in one of the three good cities in NA..
07:47:36 Devastator: TTS is essentially dead.
07:48:09 syv: No more children's card game. :<
07:48:13 Devastator: It's a very popular warhammer fanwork, so you can guess what happened.

07:57:23 Devastator_ is now known as Devastator
08:06:31 syv: ...Huh, apparently they hired the Astartes guy.
08:06:43 syv: That's a surprisingly sane move.
08:09:57 syv: The guy who made the ridiculously well animated Astartes series.
08:14:47 syv: Comments in a video talking about it are saying that GW mucked with the videos, along with taking them off YT and putting them exclusively on an official WH site.
08:15:11 syv: Apparently the guy was also making well over 20k a month off Patreon.
08:16:03 syv: Though his patreon's still up, now just officially unrelated to his WH work.
08:16:20 syv: So might not be a paycut even if GW isn't paying him as much as Patreon was.
08:16:21 Devastator: mmm, maybe that's why then.
08:16:53 syv: 20k a month seems small for a company like GW?
08:17:26 Devastator: but the astartes guy turned it into money.
08:22:14 Devastator: also that extinction update ok?
08:23:08 syv: Yeah, it's fine. More Willis.
08:23:33 syv: IMO should have a bit more character description; what people are doing as they speak. More of a scene.
08:24:13 Devastator: I'll have more of that the next time he saves the day.
08:32:54 Devastator: I'm sure he will save the day thanks to being the not-dumb one.
