:siren: Update Time! :siren:

It's been a while since the last episode, oops! I accidentally got caught up in the Smash Bros Japanese launch. We better get the last episode out by October 3rd or else this LP is never going to get finished! :ohdear:

Anyway, it's time to go into World 3! Unlike in World 2, we will be revisiting the two best archetypes this world had to offer. These levels are starting to get pretty hard though. Let's hope our training paid off!

Though saying that, something weird happens here - because there's no bonus level equivalent of the Stonetooth Cave/Itsall Mine levels, the hurry-up music for those levels doesn't get a name and (as far as I know) can't be unlocked in the game. All the other hurry-up music gets named after the bonus level it appears in, and is unlocked by doing the missions for that bonus level. E.g. the Glittertown hurry-up music is called Neon City, the Wreck Train hurry-up music is called Derailed Express. But for this one, it's just called Stonetooth Cave Part 2.

Yep, it's very strange! I guess that's the result of having two levels in the same world that share runback music.

I thought it was weird that the mission% was below the treasure and levels% but I just finally noticed something this update. The boss fights totally have missions now. Don't know how I missed that before, but that's gonna be interesting to see. Mainly since beyond "don't take any damage" I'm not sure what they even could be.

Same here really, in Wales August was terrible, but July and September were really good (June's too long ago for me to remember what it was like now :v: ).

Continued music chat: yep, Launchpad Labyrinth has the same music for both tracks as Stonecarving City, and both levels share their run-back music (which, as per tradition, is also called Launchpad Labyrinth) with Run-Down Pyramid.

Aside from vanity jewelry and buzzsaws, I don't quite see any other real application for diamonds that would generate a demand to fit that quantity. I guess the black boxes in planes, but those are already nigh-indestructible.

Maybe diamond plated armored vehicles.

I'm pretty sure diamonds are brittle, so they'd make pretty lovely armor or anything else where you'd expect them to flex during use. Industrial diamonds are mounted to other materials and mostly just act as cutters or abraders.

The cost of diamonds is already artificially massively inflated by the De Beers Cartel so even if we were able to mine that planet for diamonds it wouldn't impact the price of diamonds at all because the price of diamonds has nothing to do with the supply thanks to De Beers.

The end is drawing ever nearer! Today we're going to head into World 5 and go through the last couple of hidden levels. On top of that, we're also going to get one of the game's greatest rewards. :cool:



I'll update the Treasury at some point in the future. I didn't get a chance to take pictures of all the treasure descriptions today. :ohdear:

"Why would a mammoth be frozen if we're still in the ice age, didn't they die at the end of the ice age?" is the same as "If we evolved from monkeys why are there still monkeys around?"

West Yorkshire had some pretty bad flooding sometime over August, lots of unpleasantness and storms. I even went to Dundee and was surprised how warm it was, but eh that's just British weather luck I suppose.

Pure Gold is the least toxic metal. You can eat the drat stuff and poo poo sparkles all week and be none the worse for it.
