you have done well to reach the seat of godhood

GGG beat Athena 2 on Friday night. (HGR was skeptical—“We’re going to spend three hours not beating the door boss,” he said beforehand—but they did it.) As always, pizza is behind, but less so than in previous tiers. On Saturday we had a couple of 1% enrages on Themis, and then on Sunday we beat him...

will you be judged worthy to exist

Pandemonium reclear zone: I was super out of it during Saturday’s raid, due to staying up late all week to watch HGR and Dante stream Lingo, an open-world word puzzle game. It was great times (what’s a four-letter synonym for “forge” that is also a dessert?) but I was only semi-functional for combat...

the emissary

[redacted spoiler discussion in which newbie calls out Elidibus on his BS] We beat Pandemonium on Saturday. We’re steamrolling this tier (editor’s note: not actually true). GGG likes to talk about Pandemoniac Bonds 3 being the hardest mechanic in the raid. imo it’s not actually that bad. It works li...

webs like unto chains

“Who says ‘like unto’?” said HGR. “What a nerd.” We’re currently on P10S, Pandemonium’s spidersona. Harrowing Hell was our prog point for a long time. numbers’ original plan was to put one web in front to mitigate damage and one in back to protect us from knockback. I thought this was a neat idea, b...

pour one out for gonzalez

Ever since I’ve started coming in on Wednesdays, the weather on Wednesdays is notably worse than any other day of the week. Today, for example: my phone warned of all-day thunderstorms, a flash flood warning, a tornado watch, the works. When I woke up at 6:45 I could hear a torrential downpour outsi...

barricades and train snafus

The thing about weekend road trips is that they don’t feel like actual weekends. You get home on Sunday afternoon, ready for the weekend to start, and you realize it’s almost over. This time around was fortunate: boss gave us Monday July 3 off, and of course the 4th was Independence Day, so I got an...

where’s destiny

HGR: “newbie, ‘where’s Destiny’ has become your most frequent phrase of 2023.” Der Freischutz’s gun damages friend and foe indiscriminately. HGR tipped me off to this in advance, so I didn’t use it. newbie is cooler than me, so he gave the weapon to his man Destiny and does a lot of careful position...

the epic of morty (lob a blob)

newbie’s doomed timeline in Lobcorp from days 22-24 was an absolute masterwork. Under HGR’s expert advice in picking abnormalities, the Central Command department became a garbage fire beyond all compare. As mentioned, on day 22, newbie got Express Train to Hell. On day 23, he got a cute girl wing o...

eat, fight... eat, fight...

New raid tier! Team composition: Kan has left to join a serious static (they’ve already cleared the tier), and we’ve recruited quof in his stead. quof is a member of GGG, widely famed as the best static in the West. However, this is his debut as tank. It’s been a steep learning curve. numbers (playi...

express train to hell

For the first 20 days, newbie’s Lobcorp play was hyper-competent, which was still entertaining, but not maximally entertaining. He had nothing comparable to my early game snafus—day 2 Beauty and the Beast (literally did not have anyone who could work non-repression without going insane), the Nameles...

a gotdamn corn chip (coda)

Shocking news: I am rethinking my commitment to quitting Wolvden on the spot if they nerf lead stat gains lmaoooo It sounded like a good idea when I was on vacation and tired of having to constantly check my phone to send out hunts. However, back at the ranch, I do genuinely enjoy having something t...

face the fear, build the future

A Saturday without raid. A chill day. HGR has begun questioning whether I have conscious experiences, so I guess I’ll chronicle the day here. I took my usual morning walk, then sat down with mocha to browse discord and the FR forums. Mid-morning I got a grocery delivery. Due to bringing up the groce...
