Better, faster, stronger

No blog song.

You expect me to listen to music? Are you joking? I hope you’re joking.

Pragmata?

I am the greatest at this game.

🐐BAAAAAAA!!

no, I—there’s some stupidly-difficult challenge to do, where you have to kill a bunch of bots in like idk, a minute. You have to also uh… use an enemy to deal damage to another one.

This is a challenge, that NO-ONE will ever get gold in on their first try.

It’s HARD, BRO. It was the first time I got frustrated in the game. 2 minutes went by and I still hadn’t killed everything.

It’s called “Medic” and if you look it up on YouTube, you’ll see a bunch of guides for doing it, they usually end with like 15 seconds to go.

You basically have to hack the medic-bots that are flying healing enemies, to deal the damage (I thought I could reverse some missiles—maybe you can, whatever)

THE GAME NEVER TELLS YOU that hacking medic-bots while they’re healing makes them do damage! And everyone who’s ever played a video game, ever, knows you always kill the medics first. So this was unexpected.

Anyway, once I saw that, I had a general idea of how to do it. But it’s still a little ball-busting. The enemies that spawn are RUFF and they’re FAST.

You have to kind of bait the medics onto the stronger bots so you can kill them a lot faster.

But bro :’)

I managed it. With like 25 seconds left. All the GENIUSES with their tutorials were wasting so much ammo right at the start of the challenge, I didn’t understand why. Now I understand it’s because they’re bad. It’s totally unnecessary. So since I wasted less, I got to use more in the second half—I’m boring myself.

The point is, I’m a tactical genius. A visionary. Napoleon, but taller.

Imagine wasting 5 grenades when you only need to use 1. Literally insane.

Uhhhhhhhhh… fun game. Beat another boss or two. It does get INTENSE, but so far it hasn’t been… toooooooo hard. You have a lot of tools, the hacking isn’t too frantic usually. The gameplay really is very enjoyable.

Hugh promises Diana he’ll take her to Earth to stay with him, but I JUST KNOW that the company is going to try to take her away from him, SHE’S PROPERTY. She probably cost millions of Moonbux to make, right? Unless he literally just sneaks her away or something. That’d be nice.

was there anything else?

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!!!

I have to go look up a review for Routine. I remember wanting that game. Like a million years ago. (14 FUCKING years, excuse my language)

BROOOO it looks so good 😭

it’s on sale, last time I checked… idk, maybe… I WAS thinking of Resident Evil, too. But I’m also not in the mood to cope with zombies. The uh… *feel* of Resident Evil’s a little too...lmfao I’m such a pussy now, I mean—WHAT I MEAN IS, I just want to relaaaaax a little, man. It’s stressful having to shoot zombies as they shamble toward you.

I guess it’s also going to be stressful being chased by unkillable robots. But man, doesn’t it just look SO good?

14 years… where does it even go?

Anyway.

Don’t forget.

We are Crystalcels now.

have I been writing, literally at all?

https://inpieces.rip/writing/spooksinspace

no :) today I will. One of my problems is uh… the prequel book Rodrigo Gets Some is actually way more complicated than I remember it being. The evil shadowy organization messing with everyone is called the S.H.A.D.E. I don’t even remember if that stands for anything.

I remember a Japanese incel dog god that was in… Atlantis. I remember Grueber giving up his life… somehow… to save everyone. In a mech?

I THINK I remember him grooming his secretary to become the ruler of Earth. And if he wasn’t, that’s a great idea. Either way, she *did* become the ruler of Earth. But also, there’s an AI like Jane from Speaker for the Dead by Orson Scott Card, and she’s based on Xi… I don’t remember why, at all.

It’s just too much. And I’m cringing at all of the VULGARITY of the story, too. The fate of the entire Universe is decided by whether Rodrigo bones Goblin Girl or not? What was I thinking?

And if she’s not a goblin, who are her real parents? Don’t tell me Grueber is her dad, too.

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

I have to read the whole thing. I don’t have a choice. I can’t rely on Gemini to figure this out.
