Tales of… the here and now.

Now

Random stuff I would post on Facebook, Instagram, Mastodon and/or Bluesky. In English, German , or even worse: mixed. 

(And for the moment: way too many post about The Bazaar.)

Finally »beat« the final boss of #LiesOfP Overture. Kinda. After 268! attempts I still couldn’t solo the boss on »Legendary Stalker«. Intended difficulty my ass! As Wuchang: Fallen Feathers is ready to go I switched to »AwakenedPuppet« to end this. Without a doubt the shittiest boss I’ve ever faced.

It’s been some time since I had ten wins in The Bazaar. This new Shuriken can be pretty OP. Here I have an Obsidian Shuriken that triggers ten times. Buffed with Orange Julian this did 10x 984 damage after 7.8 seconds. That blasted everyone away.

Well, that is a nice start into the new season. A Perfect Victory with an old school Deadly Atlatl / Orange Julian build for Vanessa. That was as straight forward as it could get.

A website that you build on the side offers the opportunity to incorporate all the stuff you usually don’t use – or need. So here are unnecessary CSS masks, some sticky business, scroll-driven animations, fancy typo, an AI joke & an old-school shoutbox. Needs some fine-tuning though, but published is better than perfect.

What?! Did Dinosaurs get nerfed? I don’t recall having that much trouble getting to ten wins with Dinosaurs. (If they nerfed Dinos: Good call.)

Finally here. It took me 20 hours to get to the DLC of »Lies of P«. I replayed the first nine chapters on normal difficulty. And that Green Monster Of The Swamp is still no fun. I heard the DLC is annoying as well … #LiesOfP #LiesofPOverture

Phew. After a nothing-start I pivoted to a Tortuga Build. Got a Darkstone Engine. And, more importantly, the Sharpened Steel Skill (After you use a Weapon, Adjacent items gain 12% Crit Chance for the fight). That resulted in a slow start, and then two Tortuga hits for 3400 Damage pretty fast one after the other. That blasted everyone to the bottom of the sea.

What now?! That Platinum Fiery Poppy Field in combination with Toxic Flame (When you Burn your Poison items gain +4 Poison for the fight. When you Poison your Burn items gain +4 Burn for the fight) is a beast. That scales really fast. I was so convinced it was absurdly overpowered. And I still lost against a Lifesteal Weapons Mak. Unbelievable.

Holy Swish! The Langxian is still valid. This one got me from day 1 to day 12. There are not many who can survive a 3216 Hit with a 110% Crit chance from an Obsidian Langxian after around 6 seconds. Tick tick tick, crit, dead. Hehe.

Yepp. Dinosaurs are still highly unfair.

Just had my first run with a Mak quest item. Got this Idol of Decay early and stuck with it. I ended with nine wins. Not bad. I really like the quest mechanic.

Oh, it’s BYOBR – Bring Your Own Bass/Guitar Rap. I like. Just a bit too short.

Well, look at that. Finally a win with a Temple Relic. And probably the first time I won with an Atlas Stone active in the build.

Wow. Burn Core is still is a viable option. Hell yeah!

The Bazaar: 10 Wins, Perfect Victory, with a Dooley Plasma-Rifle-Burn Build

Holy crap. I didn’t have much hope for the end game. But this Tech build got really fast. Overwhelmed in seconds.

I didn’t think a Freeze Build could work with Dooley. Boy, was I wrong. Took some time to get the Nitrogen Hammer to Platinum, but after that you reach high Bonk damage pretty fast.

The Bazaar: 10 Wins, Gold Victory, with a Dooley Freeze Build

Look Ma, no dinos! Dooley is the GOAT right now.

The Bazaar: 10 Wins, Perfect Victory, with a Dooley Tech build

Ok, maybe dinosaurs are too strong. Every dino build I had so far got me to ten wins. Maybe that changes as soon as more people get their dino expansion.

I love the new season in The Bazaar. Heavy Firepower for my overpowered Dinosaur/Relic build? Sure, gimme. (Heavy Firepower: If you have 5 or fewer items in play, your Weapons have +75 Damage.) 

The Bazaar: The ability »Heavy Firepower« is offered

Rooooaaaaarrr. My first (forced) Dooley Dinosaur Build was a smashing success. At first that Dinosawer looked rather weak, but this item was the MVP. With some valuable support from Tanky Anky and the Metronome. This is a fun extension.

I am finally back in Krat for the weekend (and probably the next few weeks). The DLC is a fine occasion to replay #LiesOfP.

This was a fun one. A working Burn Build for Vanessa. But with Solar Farm, Calcinator and Restorative Fire Claw. What a wild mix.

The Bazaar: 10 Wins, Gold Victory, with Vanessa and a burn build

Whoop whoop. Another perfect win thanks to this nice little Obsidian Railgun. The 28% Crit on this was helpful as well.

Ok. A Jabalian Drum build is quite boring. But this one was thrusted upon me. The Slow enchantment made this really unfair. A Heavy Jabalian Drum should not exist. I mean, with five multicast weapons and a Yo-Yo this was unbeatable.
