Now

Random stuff that, for the most part, is too boring to put on Mastodon, Bluesky or Instagram. This is mostly to let Future Me have a look at what Past Me has wasted his time with. //

Currently paused till I decided what nonsense I want to post here.

Lost again with Orange Julian. Why am I so fixated on making this work? I get beaten up by too many other builds.

God, I am quite tilted right now. I just can’t get a working Orange Julian build.

Apr 26 17:11

Finally a decent Poppy Field build. And I still couldn’t get more than 7 wins. Bah.

The past few days I always skipped over Old Saltclaw. But the little dude is actually quite bonkers. If you can make him bigger with enough Haste items. Lifesteal, Multicast and a Cooldown of 4.1s before Haste made him nearly unstoppable. Or so I thought. Cause it was still very close in the end.

God, I hate Ice builds. I finally have a decent build and get one ice opponent after the other. What a waste of time. #thebazaar

Merke: Beim Copy/Paste von »CSS boilerplate« besser nicht das C vergessen. Hui, knapp.

Phew. I really like this slow burn build for Mak. But I got beaten by some faster builds. In the end I needed some luck to get my ten wins.

I’m back at the Bazaar. Finally burned myself to ten wins with a rare Dragon Heart. That was a fun run.

Guess it is time to check out this strange new Drupal CMS people are talking about (in my Drupal bubble).

Two books: »The Maze: A Labyrinthine Compendium« by Kendra Wilson and Angus Hyland & »A Compendium of Meta-Puzzles« by Pedja Banovic

I can’t believe I got this nice burn set up and never got a single burn skill. #TheBazaar

So I stumbled my way to my first Perfect Victory with Pyg. The Restorative Matchbox was a really good start. Some luck got me a second Matchbox. And then my first Ice Luge came along. I just burned and healed through everything. #TheBazaar

Obsidian Flagship, equals Double Damage (×2). 125% Crit Chance (again, ×2). And then, the cherry on the cake, the skill I didn’t even know existed: Big Guns, double the damage of your large items (another ×2). In summary I had Octo Damage on the Flagship. In the last encounter, with some haste, this lead to 5.152 damage within the first 1.8 seconds. Impressive.

I think this is my first 10-win-run on Ranked. Restaurative Power Drill + Deadly Solar Farm. Boring, but effective.

Ok. That is enough of The Bazaar for the moment. Gotta start playing something else …

Mar 29 00:24

What?! I was overpowered and still could not get 10 wins?! I mean: Fiery Power Drill + Rocket Launcher + Moth to a Flame skill + Knife Tricks skill + Conflagration skill. I never had such a good combination. I guess, I needed some Haste. #TheBazaar

I finally decided to use my 60+ tickets and try Ranked again. I can’t believe I stumbled the landing with this Toxic Langxian. Oh wait, I can believe it, a Power Drill with freeze denied me my last win. Of course. Another item that needs to get nerfed. #TheBazaar

Mar 27 13:56

Overpowered double Matchbox. That items needs a nerf. But at least I tried the Subscraper for once. #TheBazaar

Thanks to an unhealthy amount of nostalgia and FOMO my vast collection of stuff now includes these three Omnibus Sized Darkwing Duck Hardcover graphic novel volumes.

Nice to have? Sure. Worth the price tag? Not after the Kickstarter campaign increased shipping costs from 30 to 72 dollars.

Well, you live, you learn.

Wow. Until now I never picked those lame Volcanic Vents. But the Fiery starter skill was a very good argument for it. The Draconic Rage skill is also ludacris. My second Perfect Victory. #TheBazaar

Screenshot: 10 wins, perfect victory with Vanessa, in the game »The Bazaar«

Mar 24 19:05

Finally got a decent flagship build working in »The Bazaar«. That last encouncter was quite satisfying. But now that I got my win, I think I'll avoid the flagship in the next few days. It is too straightforward,

What a photo finish. That Shielded Lion Cane one shotted my last opponent. I should have gotten rid of the matchbox a few days earlier. But, whatever, I still won.
