03:06:25 ER: I think some of the hellhounds have like, metal helmets which protect them from headshots?
03:06:36 ER: as if hellhounds needed to be more dangerous
03:07:37 ER: they ALWAYS spawn in groups, and fairly fast, low to the ground so they're hard to hit with melee and jump around a lot when attacking, and they cause bleeding when they hit you
03:08:11 ER: basically you never want to run into them at close range
03:08:25 ER: especially playing solo, as I do always do :v
03:08:27 Devastator: sounds like a plan with wolves in general.
03:08:41 Devastator: didn't you play it with
syv a few times?
03:09:06 ER: yeah, but he doesn't have good enough internet so I can only play with him when he's at work
03:10:12 Devastator: ugh, and it's blindness the FPS.
03:10:20 Devastator: well, if you want I could give it a try sometimes.
03:12:24 ER: I'd enjoy that, but it's fairly expensive and doesn't run super great
03:12:47 ER: though I do happen to play on higher settings than I should because I like the pretty :P
03:13:00 Devastator: my comp is a bit long in the teeth these days.
03:13:08 Devastator: so maybe something else then.
03:14:55 ER: minimum specs according to steam:
03:14:55 ER: Processor: Intel i5-4590 @ 3.3GHz (4th Generation) or AMD Ryzen 3 1200
03:14:56 ER: Graphics: NVIDIA GeForce GTX 660 TI or AMD Radeon R7 370, with a minimum of 3GB of VRAM
03:17:37 Devastator: I literally have a 660 GTX.
03:17:52 Devastator: TI sounds like an upgraded version of it.
03:18:54 Devastator: looks like I just squeak by.
03:20:20 ER: well, you could try it and get a steam refund if it's not your thing, I suppose
03:20:35 Devastator: give me a bit, though, need to free some harddrive space.
03:20:40 Devastator: and finish this k-com turn.
04:12:29 ER: completed a mission solo, by virtue of never running into anybody ;p
05:20:15 syv has joined #einsteinianroulette
05:21:46 Devastator: doing the battle atm.
05:21:59 syv: I saw you talking about trying Hunt.
05:22:35 syv: I'm not as into it as
ER is--I rather dislike the PvP aspect of it--but if you try it, it'd be really neat to play with the three of us. Three man teams are an option.
05:23:43 Devastator: you want a play-by play? die-rolling time.
05:24:56 Devastator: okay. There's only seven units in Scandinavia.
05:25:00 Devastator: they critted the deployment.
05:25:04 Devastator: and the target location is Tronheim.
05:25:24 syv: Lists of what was deployed, please!
05:25:27 Devastator: That's a fairly small city, so going to score it four city points before it's pancaked.
05:25:30 syv: Stirk didn't say what he has.
05:26:06 Devastator: two artillery pieces, a Jaeger, two infantry platoons, one wearing some kind of exosuits, the gunbug swarm, and the meth-fueled kangaroo.
05:26:33 Devastator: Kaiju is an armoured pill-bug with two visible weapons. A new one, and one of those goddamn missile launchers.
05:27:12 Devastator: The new one has no visible projectiles, but the kaiju touches the ends of it's antenna together and things go basically weird, and a large area just kinda implodes.
05:28:28 Devastator: it can be dodged, you can tell if you're being attacked, but it's weird.
05:28:37 Devastator: AoE is pretty good, but with deployment critted that isn't going to be an issue.
05:29:00 Devastator: anyway, first shot is one of the artys.
05:29:25 Devastator: then the gunbug swarm.
05:32:27 Devastator: tinks all around, until the Jaeger which is going last.
05:33:01 Devastator: forces one damage through via AP.
05:33:15 Devastator: Kaiju still worryingly strong.
05:33:48 Devastator: Yeah, this thing is built. Looks like they improved the ooze thing and combined it with heavy armour.
05:33:52 Devastator: but this one doesn't regenerate.
05:34:06 Devastator: nor does it have that glass skin thing.
05:34:23 syv: If it did, we'd be fucked.
05:34:26 Devastator: a shame, though, the gunbugs were one roll from doing like 14 damage.
05:34:41 Devastator: That would have beens something.
05:34:47 Devastator: yeah, they hit it really square.
05:35:04 Devastator: high power, low AP for you.
05:35:18 syv: Maybe it wasn't stupid of me to get Dubs to make those things.
05:35:19 Devastator: if the dice line up they can do a ton of damage.
05:35:51 syv: Okay, spoil me please. Do they have more than C power?
05:36:21 Devastator: I'll give you that one, yeah.
05:36:36 Devastator: They have shit-all else, though.
05:36:38 syv: And they respawn every month.
05:36:46 Devastator: heh, ask Irony what the upkeep cost is.
06:04:16 Devastator: kangaroo does nothing.
06:04:27 Devastator: it's a shame Zultan didn't have time to arm the kangaroo and went for endless speed.
06:04:40 Devastator: if it had a weapon it'd be a nice unit.
06:05:06 Devastator: as is, it's basically punch arty without the AP, which is mostly useless.
06:06:10 Devastator: Jaeger pushes another damage through.
06:06:25 Devastator: nice to see it finally showing its stuff.
06:06:31 Devastator: it had some bad luck in the last fight.
06:07:01 Devastator: nope, doesn't knock anything out.
06:08:30 Devastator: and the kaiju chooses to hit the secondary target again, choosing to wax an arty instead of the jaeger.
06:08:54 Devastator: don't think it's mathmatically possible to survive or be recoverable.
06:11:16 Devastator: inf tink, remaining arty tinks,
06:13:44 Devastator: for the third consecutive round, the Jaeger pushes one damage through via AP.
06:13:56 syv: Everything being useless except for the nice consistent tank.
06:14:12 Devastator: you know the stats enough to see why that would go that way.
06:14:27 Devastator: inf can't really hurt a kaiju except by lucky shot.
06:14:35 Devastator: and arty isn't as powerful as the tank.
06:15:04 Devastator: ..and nope, doesn't knock out anything.
06:16:31 Devastator: yeah, it's really only a couple of points away to hurting the kaiju enough that multiple damage hits would be pretty likely.
06:16:46 Devastator: but not there yet.. the kaiju has no other targets.
06:16:54 Devastator: implosion gun first.
06:17:20 Devastator: Jaeger supertank has no chance of evasion.
06:17:32 Devastator: And.. implosion gun fumbles.
06:17:41 Devastator: because it's that kind of battle, apparently.
06:18:00 Devastator: okay, that's.. surviveable-ish now.
06:18:25 Devastator: needs to soak one damage via armour.
06:19:04 Devastator: it soaks the maximum.
06:19:19 Devastator: the implosion gun tinked, sheesh.
06:19:40 Devastator: and for all that, it's still going to die to missile.
06:19:55 Devastator: like so many before it.
06:22:15 Devastator: well, missile might not do that much.
06:23:09 Devastator: okay, well, lets see if that armour holds true again.
06:23:42 Devastator: soaks two, but that leaves 5.
06:25:10 syv: K-Com is just becoming Aurora.
06:25:41 syv: ...Oh god, kaiju with box launchers D:
06:26:10 Devastator: I did have a love of torpedo launchers in that game.
06:26:54 Devastator: and those missile launchers aren't that bad stats-wise.
06:27:02 Devastator: they've been luckier than they've deserved.
06:31:30 Devastator: mmm, needs one of those force-fields, badly.
06:33:05 Devastator: well, gotta play it out. Hits score points, after all.
06:33:08 Devastator: and there might be a few more.
06:33:13 Devastator: and it might take a bit to kill the kangaroo.
06:33:53 Devastator: inf tinks, inf tinks.
06:35:00 Devastator: ..and another dodge.
06:35:12 Devastator: apparently a meth-fueled kangaroo is dodgy.
06:36:51 Devastator: yeah, that buys another round.
06:37:45 Devastator: and wow, those were awful rolls.
06:38:00 Devastator: like 'would have tinked against a 4 str kaiju' bad.
06:38:41 Devastator: hit by the implosion cannon, but dodges a second missile.
06:39:18 Devastator: huh, wow, forgot it was that tanky.
06:41:03 Devastator: if only it could have done some damage to draw fire.
06:42:26 syv: Just a long battle of nothing happening.
06:42:36 Devastator: at least it's pretty quick with only three units.
06:42:45 Devastator: and the kanga is getting very lucky here.
06:43:11 syv: Pity it won't survive to go home and get a gun mounted on its head.
06:43:14 Devastator: shit, this is early valencite, right?
06:43:19 Devastator: that's ammo short, correct?
06:43:23 Devastator: arty should be out then.
06:43:38 Devastator: well, it hasn't hit any hits since it should have ran out.
06:43:49 Devastator: so I'm going to just judge it as out and retreating.
06:44:09 syv: Good for Stirk, he keeps a unit.
06:44:17 syv: Or was that the other guy?
06:44:18 Devastator: the arty is Irony's actually.
06:44:27 Devastator: Stirk had the tank and the fighting infantry platoon.
06:44:29 syv: Ah, yep. Good for Irony, then.
06:44:40 Devastator: tank did good work, really.
06:45:04 Devastator: that might be the record, actually.
06:45:13 Devastator: I know units have done twice.
06:45:46 syv: It's more surprising that it's not the damage record, considering the thing's stats.
06:46:05 syv: I guess it's not *that* much better than valencite arty, and there
06:46:14 syv: 's been a ton of those shooting, but still.
06:47:36 Devastator: It's pretty noticeably better than valencite arty.
06:48:26 Devastator: It's not much better than valencite jets.
06:48:37 Devastator: the valencite arty just had one really, really good battle.
06:54:48 Devastator: Hey, kanga got a hit in.
06:55:06 Devastator: right before dodge luck ran out.
06:55:45 Devastator: yeah, that's one dead kanga.
06:57:37 syv: Its death was not in vain, for it headputted a pillbug.
06:58:54 Devastator: wait, I didn't check for knockouts.
06:59:05 Devastator: and that's the implosion cannon.
06:59:13 Devastator: so it dies to missile instead, but heh.
07:05:00 Devastator: that's a kaiju with the old weapons.
07:37:06 ER: shall try to write revenant now
07:38:55 Devastator: bird wants to rip and tear.
07:39:05 syv: Two game updates today. ^-^
07:39:35 ER: sometimes if I can get one down I'll want to do more :|
07:40:29 syv: Then you can update DW too~
07:49:21 ER: what were we gonna watch next, and do we have it downloaded yet?
07:49:51 syv: Uh,
Dev just brought up Mouth of Madness, which is certainly something I want to see.
07:49:58 syv: I have it. Dunno about you.
07:50:33 syv: I could watch it at work on Sunday if y'all are okay with that, otherwise my life is a bit too unplanned and busy currently to say when to watch.
07:51:18 ER: happy to have anything to do, and it seems that I don't have the willpower to NOT stay up past midnight right now
07:52:34 ER: ah gods, it's gonna be one of those turns where everyone rolls nines
07:55:29 ER: I put on this playlist and the second song it gives me is snake eater, hm
07:56:55 syv: Shalva would prefer to remain unvored.
07:57:21 syv: Despite being a monster girl, she is not into that.
07:57:32 Devastator: bird is okay with eating the queen.
08:07:22 ER: you had better not roll a 9 here
08:08:12 ER: well, that would be a nine if not for me slapping a +2 dinosaur bonus on it
08:08:29 Devastator: the anti-drama dice.
09:03:50 Devastator: sadly, I don't think firekid looks edible.
09:04:01 ER: how are things in devland, anyways?
09:04:26 ER: nah, you probably wouldn't want to eat a corpse that's perfectly preserved after 650 years
09:06:10 Devastator: and it's mostly the on fire stuff.
09:06:22 Devastator: not the 'ooh thousand-year egg' stuff.
09:06:26 Devastator: on fire, that's a bit tougher.
09:06:39 ER: I mean yeah, but i think it wouldn't be healthy even if not on fire
09:07:44 Devastator: I suppose it might smell bad. ;-p
09:07:57 Devastator: too many chemicals for a healthy bird, eh?
09:08:17 ER: It's magic, so it's more like it would "feel" wrong
09:08:35 Devastator: Yeah, won't touch it then.
09:08:47 Devastator: I'll be sure to ask about any other corpses, however.
09:10:02 ER: most of the ones around here are either bones or well on their wy to becoming dirt, but there might be a few tasty ones.
09:10:59 Devastator: mostly meant in the future, but sure, might as well.
09:11:04 ER: Though I suppose that you're dead too and just doing a good job of faking it. Probably not actually in too much danger fro eating really old meat, but it wouldn't taste as good
09:11:05 Devastator: think I'll ask about quest hooks.
09:11:25 Devastator: yeah, I mean, it'd be for recration and habit, too.
09:11:30 Devastator: I doubt bird actually gets hungry anymore.
09:13:40 Devastator: maybe should interact with priestess.
09:17:19 Devastator: we're supposed to be out for revenge, right?
09:18:06 ER: like a restless spirit, you've not left the world yet, which is unusual
09:18:26 ER: why exactly that is isn't necessarilly prescribed
09:18:35 Devastator: well, getting revenge on dick wizard sounds good, if the retcon is ok. ;-p
09:18:49 Devastator: either beat the dick wizard in a battle of wits, or eat his brain.
09:18:52 ER: but if you completely run out of motivation to do things, you'll die for real
09:29:38 Devastator: it counts as being smarter than someone if you punch them, right?
09:31:13 Devastator: so quest to be smartest and/or strongest bird ever is on.
09:41:30 Devastator: Is somewhere with a book okay for a plot hook?
09:42:14 ER: dunno just what to do with it yet. not as if I plan anything~
09:43:33 Devastator: yeah, could be anything.
09:43:42 Devastator: what causes you to level up?
09:44:17 ER: can also improve skills by doing appropriate things
09:44:37 ER: but proper levels are from completing 'quests', I guess
09:44:52 ER: you'll all get one soon, I think
09:46:24 Devastator: still not sure what to get.
09:46:31 Devastator: might just sit on the stat point.
09:48:46 Devastator: I'll use it eventualy, just haven't decided.
09:48:53 Devastator: or could take str or something if more fighting..
09:54:01 Devastator: but more determination, hmm.
10:00:09 Devastator: skill will probably be anything but geography or literacy.
10:01:13 ER: hmm, point costs from chargen will still apply, and you get more skill points than stat points, so you could theoretically pick up multiple things
10:01:28 ER: don't remember if I decided how many you get. three maybe?
10:05:35 Devastator: I think you said one stat and two skills, but whatever you give.
10:05:42 Devastator: two is enough to raise something to +2.
10:05:54 Devastator: or to take two new ones to +1.
10:06:23 Devastator: could take crafing and be gunbird eventually.
10:06:42 Devastator: maybe find a book on making stuff firs.t
10:09:19 Devastator: gotta get more fighty to do that, though.
10:09:27 Devastator: which is str and more Semblance to be less smol.
10:09:49 Devastator: there will be fun stuff.
10:11:02 ER: shalva can craft poisons, right? if you worked with her you might be constrained by her morality, but could kill things bigger than you
10:11:30 Devastator: mmm, that's an idea.
10:11:47 Devastator: could also find dirty things and put them on my claws.
10:11:58 Devastator: and then wait like three weeks for something to die of infection. ;-p
10:12:37 ER: yeah and if it's a sapient they'll probably go see a healer or something :^)
10:13:31 Devastator: I wonder if I could take 'venomous' as a skill.
10:20:54 Devastator: that'd be a way to do it.
