Still 4, I've been level 4 for a while

I killed one of them but they kept charging my characters into each other which apparently does all the damage in the world and polished me off before the other one could get down past half health

i have a set up that dual wields missile handguns and has the 10 cel missile launchers on the back that can fly infinitely and it's actually surprisingly good at most missions. i think it'd get hosed up by sniper bots maybe and it can't do the chapter 1 boss, but the chapter 2 one just sort of can't hit it at all and it has more than enough ammo to kill it

that makes sense that they'd eventually give you a semi viable ranged option to buy. even if it is basically being some kinda herky jerky drone platform decked out with missile launchers

Shotgun+shotgun+shotgun+shotgun is also pretty good if you count 100 meters away as a ranged option. Chainguns and shotguns are also pretty good since you can use the former to stagger enemies pretty easily and the latter deal huge burst damage.

IDK if this game actually has good assault rifle type weapons though. I'm probably about half way through chapter 3 and all of those types of options either kinda suck or are hugely ammo inefficient. I wish that there were more linear rifles

yeah it seems like the stagger meter really favors weapons that deliver one big chunk of damage (swords/shotguns) or a continuous fast stream of damage like the miniguns. some stuff just seems useless like the shoulder laser (haven't tried it) or the shields

is that RBR

luv rally

if u tuck the nose in tighter on the 1:30 turn, & hug the inside on the exit so that you're lined up for the straight and can get on the power right away instead of having to rotate the car, it should cut a lot of time, isn't as dope looking as a big powerslide but it's wayyy quicker & the rs200 was built specifically to excel at it `_`

edit: to clarify i mean focus on an early apex and exiting the corner as early as possible rather than carrying as much speed as possible though, grb awd cars are rocketships in a straight line and a late apex into straights will pretty much always be faster than trying to carry momentum though the whole corner like with a slower car or grippier surface

Orb of Creation is like Cookie Clicker: Long War of the Chosen

It has every mechanic and math trick that an incremental game could have. It is incredibly active, numbers go up only when you press the correct buttons. The vibes are so good, the math and aesthetics are married so well. Mana as the base resource is inspired and every escalation is handled so elegantly. It is forgiving, I cant lose anything, just not advance, so I feel comfortable getting up and doing some other things away from the computer. It's p great.

i love powersliding but yeah you can tell a turn economics is bad if you're on the outside the whole time lol. I was doing podcast driving so I was just zonin out. The great thing about rally is the overall economics of motion aren't as important as surviving leg over leg. way too easy to overcook past your abilities.

one problem with driving good is it looks boring as poo poo. i had a recording of me in a Celica TCT on one of the new RBR maps. Was going a billion miles an hour down some spanish hillroad, first run and blind. driving it was the tensest poo poo, was like 10 seconds off the top Group B result in hotlaps but the recording was the most boring poo poo imaginable.

i immediately crashed on the 2nd leg which was the reverse back the way I came lmao

yea driving a good clean lap never looks as exciting or fast as whipping the wheel & sliding the back end out at half the pace

The minotaurs are nasty. In general the Underdark is supposed to be deep down dark and scawy but you can avoid fighting most of the encounters... except the mino's

The first minatour is a puzzle where you're supposed to notice it reduces slashing damage by half and takes double damage from bludgeoning.

I was going to make a manual save before I went through the portal i opened to The House of Hope and I saw that the quicksave before I put down the final component of the portal (just in case it pulled me in instantly) and it ended up being quicksave 666.

he's still taking the correct line through it too. its some of the most impressive driving I've ever seen, especially with no helmet, 3pt seatbelt, just nuts I'd be too afraid of dying to get close to that level around all those trees
there's a much longer version with external camera shots and helicopter shots of it
it looks way way more impressive from the outside, prolly still one of the best videos of anything with a car ever, Insanely 80s, big weird German goggles guy within 30 seconds of start
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3U26ddkVw2Q it does that full lap onboard then the external cams are at about 10:30

that turn, adenauer forst, is famous for being the most deceptive and difficult corner on the nurburgring and fuckin people up bad

there's thousands and thousands of videos of endless hours of footage of people loving up, just there
