Castlevania Symphony Rando 3, Lighter Than Air Progress is good. Progress that gives instant access to a majority of the map... is a mixed blessing, really.

Well, it's not like you don't get instant access to huge amounts of the map anyway multiple times in SotN  .I'd kill for the high jump, personally!

Castlevania Symphony Rando 4, Spoiled for Choice Apropos of nothing, I would like to once again express how glad I am that I found an online image resizer that doesn't lock the aspect ratio. I don't think you guys want to look at 2800x480 images like I've been getting after the first update, or anything else with a 35:6 aspect ratio for that matter.

Castlevania: Circle of the Moon Randomizer Fifth Session: Trying to find progress - Underground Gallery revisit - Triumph Hallway - Machine Tower cleanup https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=emiJOOvr-M8 As you can probably tell from the word "cleanup", progress finally happens! I should be able to finish very soon now. Simply Simon fucked around with this message at 15:14 on Sep 5, 2023 |

Castlevania Symphony Rando 7, Janitorial Duties While I may have managed to redo what I lost more-or-less, I'm unfortunately running a little low on motivation right now. I mean, I'll try to finish, but I can't guarantee I'll do it quickly.

Castlevania Symphony Rando 11, Circle Closed Apparently "shouldn't take too long" is relative to play-time, not real-time; I couldn't bring myself to play SotN at all until just now. Also, my idea of where to find the Rib was wrong.

Simply Simon posted:Castlevania: Circle of the Moon Randomizer Cool hack, thanks for showing it off. Agreed on your point that the DSS cards would have been much better as items to find on pedestals, we could have gone without 20 HP/MP/Heart upgrades I think.

Shitload of onions (literally the same amount as the meat), some carrots, meat (in this case turkey, but anything goes), potatoes. Five minutes seared in a big pot: Add water, let it cook until veggies are soft. Important secret ingredient: the cubes of curry to give it actual curry flavor lol  (the recipe is from the back of the box) Looks like chocolate when it's melting:  And the end result, much nicer color:  We serve it with Fukujinsuke (mixed pickles, rather sweet, pairs extremely well)

Glad to see this back, I was considering prodding about it occasionally but thought it was willfully dead. Happy to be wrong. And yes, poison damage compounds, up to 8x damage on the 8th and all future tics. e: I wonder if Beyond Chaos just can't deal with Veteran's sprite, it was hosed up on liquidy and our playthroughs too. and welcome Speed +1

I just realized you aren't using saves states, I have to admit I haven't touched an actual save point in an emulated game in... well for as long as I've used emulators.

I actually did drop one in front of that trapped chest at the beginning, because I realized I hadn't saved since leaving Zozo and didn't feel like walking all the way back out of Narshe and then back in again. There might have been another one somewhere else too? I forget. But yeah, generally I try to keep myself honest. Honestly, save states wouldn't have helped all that much anyway; that first trip into the factory was doomed the second I walked in. E: If there's ever a boss that's obnoxiously far away from the nearest save point I'll probably use one, but FF6 is usually pretty good about that sort of thing, and aggressively save stating after every random encounter and before opening every chest sounds incredibly tedious.

Been doing a new seed in PoR just for fun (not posting it because I don't want you to see another run die), and added another option to the randomization. Specifically... ...text randomization. Needless to say, cutscenes are full of utter nonsense now; Death, here, summarizes the situation succinctly. ...I know, it's not fair to tease you like this, but I couldn't resist when this line came up. (Other highlights include Death accusing Jonathan of working with Brauner shortly before the above screenshot and Jonathan spouting a tutorial from another mode at him.)  There're also lines like this, where I have no idea what he's trying to say. edit: turns out this seed's completeable; I might actually go back and do another run of it so I can show it to you guys.

Cattail Prophet posted:FF6 Beyond Chaos: Part 7: Bosses? Where We're Going We Don't Need Bosses Beyond Chaos lets you pick up dances even without a dancer or Mog's stand in in the party, meaning you don't get screwed out of water rondo if you snub him. GBA gives you one single shot at getting it in the world of ruin. Those are the only times I can think of possibly justifying dropping Mog, but even then I don't think I've ever done it. e: cursed ring is the same gimmick as the cursed shield, except it eventually turns into a hero ring, which you can get so many other ways.

Oh lol, gently caress that then, hero rings aren't even that good. Of our current crew, I'd maybe consider giving one to Kars or Goten, but that's about it.

Admittedly, both those combinations depend on you having access to the relics in question... but I'm sure there're other relics that're better, and there're so many that you're likely to have access to at least one of them at any given time. And that's not even getting into character-specific relics...

Cattail Prophet posted:FF6 Beyond Chaos: Part 7: Bosses? Where We're Going We Don't Need Bosses Beyond Chaos runs always start to lose a bit of steam once you have actual reliable things that do what you want them to do, i.e. magic, more or less at will. Of course some rerolled monsters can usually still throw you for a spin, so there's still a bit of spice.
