Huh. D.E.R.E.K. did surprisingly well running #TheRedMile with us. Actually helpful and hilarious in combat.
(Love that the mod dev is a huge Red Dwarf fan too)

Really want to do a #Swashbuckler PT of #Starfield … as a non-canonical alternate universe maybe?
(this mod makes a universe melee-weapon exclusive for both the player and NPCs)

Second run of #TheRedMile in Universe Eleven complete, Peashooter Mk.4 FTW!
Honestly? It went surprisingly well considering it takes an average of three magazines to put down a single Mauler with an Advanced Razorback and its painfully slow firing rate, irregardless of a Mauler’s level. Not exaggerating in the slightest: reloading is faster than the time between rounds of the same magazine. Still, I burned through almost 400 7.5mm rounds in this run, and I have pretty good trigger discipline. While I didn’t go hunting for any scattered packs of Maulers like I usually do, and had to let a few get away, I still put down an awful lot of them with such an ill-suited sidearm bee-lining from point A to point B and back again.

Phew. This moment is so breathtakingly perfect, all my bloodlust just drifted away. How the hell do I run #TheRedMile with nothing but a revolver WITHOUT ANY bloodlust??
Meh. I’m sure it’ll come back to me.

“Twiddling my thumbs until the new update goes live tonight” looks like running #TheRedMile over and over again with a variety of custom revolvers and pistols, keeping in mind that at Level 211 I still haven’t bothered to learn the Pistols skill, so I’m at an extra disadvantage.
Up first and featured below, for my 2nd run in Universe Eleven, is Peashooter Mk.4—my standard recipe for a heavily, but not quite fully, modded short-barrelled Assassin’s Advanced Razorback. It features the highest stopping power of any ballistic pistol available, but the smallest magazine size, meaning constant interrupted reloads by Maulers and their obnoxious explosive-hairball attack.
If this doesn’t make for a real challenge I don’t know what will.

NGL, I’ve been doin’ some pretty weird shit in Universe Eleven.
Here’s a great example: I can’t stand the Freestar Collective, and despise Akila City only second-most after HopeTown, right? But then I go and make a bee-line for the Core residence and drop my first 78k credits on a manor I don’t want in a city that physically repulses me, just because I’ve never done it before in any universe—and okay, sure, anidst the whim of it all, I thought it would make a hilarious political statement to own one of Akila’s coveted Core estates only to leave it empty, rotting.
Universe Eleven itself, though? Perfectly normal. Practically identical to my Prime Universe. A perfectly reasonable ratio of Black Licorice soda to other flavours and everything!

Hellloooooooo, Universe Eleven! As you can see, I’m shaking stuff up by going UC Native and Raised Universal. But I’m keeping the Empath trait because it’s actually pretty awesome.

With the above in mind I was going to pull another legendary speedrun of the Buried Temple for Universe Ten just like I did for Universe Nine…
… but I bought a new ship instead
Fleshing out my new Starborn Predator starfighter build oughta keep me busy for a while

I’ve had it with Universe Ten. Even though “everything is going right”, I keep being reminded of the Va’ruun-Zealot-Andreja universe all the same.
It’s the god-awful space-Jesus robes isn’t it

I was going to caption this image “Let’s paint this town Ryujin Red!” but then I managed to ruin it completely by somehow pulling off an absolutely spotless, squeaky clean op… like to the point that not even SSNN could verify we ever stepped foot inside Infinity LTD HQ.
And if that wasn’t bad enough, then—god help me—I somehow managed to transform Ryujin into the good guys, getting the internal neuroamp shelved for good WITHOUT HAVING TO USE IT.
Universe Ten is just … so messed up.

Rob the Trade Authority blind, sell the score back to the Trade Authority, and be owed a favour from the Trade Authority for the privilege. Just another day in the Settled Systems.

So. Uh. Yeah. I literally just beat Genghis Khan to death. In front of his whole band of renegades. While they were all shooting me.

Yes, I went out of my way to reach Level 200 while running the #OperationStarseed mission in Universe Ten
Honestly it took far less plotting and scheming than I expected—one good mindfuck deserves another, it seems!

CW: Starfield: Running the Red Mile with Advanced Afflictions
I’m pleased to report that on Extreme difficulty, with all the extra settings jacked up for maximum bonus XP, running #TheRedMile is finally a challenge and HAS TO BE RUN to survive.
Oh sure, the Maulers are still pathetic little cowards that only know how to fight dirty, running away crying tails between their legs when forced into a direct face to face confrontation, and can’t get away with surrounding you and attacking strictly from behind. I just beat The Red Mile for the fifth time in Universe Ten with nothing but my trusty Va’ruun Painblade—not even my Starborn Powers. I hunted as many of them down as I could but ran out of time.
See, the challenge now is environmental damage and afflictions, with health items only treating afflictions not curing them, and cumulative environmental damage no longer recovering once reaching safety. So you’re on a pretty strict time limit and every Mauler ambush is an actual honest-to-God indirect threat to life—if the Maulers can’r manage to kill you with all their cowardly wiles and your significantly reduced health, they actually make a point to waste as much of your time as able in hopes the weather will get you in the end. Like wow. Full-out machiavellian tactics.
The constant pair of afflictions running the Red Mike alongside you start to finish no matter what you do, are Frostbite and Hypothermia. There’s also plenty of toxic gas to give you serious lung damage, in a high-G environment, where you really, really need your full oxygen supply. Hypothermia screws with that too. And if you run out of treatment supplies, the afflictions worsen and can lead to secondary infections, which come with a whole other host of problems.
So yeah, oh sure. I just finished my fifth run for this universe but I’ve been in the red the last four times. Vision gets all blurry and pulsates. Could only barely see or hear Mei when collecting my prizes. Had to rent a room at the Mile BY THE WEEK to sleep off the environmental damage, because I wouldn’t survive the walk to my ship and fast travel is now disabled under certain health conditions.
Finally! It finally feels like a fight to the death! Only, the wildlife are simply distractions and the real enemy is yourself in a truly brutal survival situation.
As Andreja likes to put it, “now we are having fun!”

Notwithstanding the above, there IS so much else to love about the new Extreme difficulty and related gameplay settings.
Combat is a real challenge again! I have to use my full range of skills and strategy! Terrormorphs put up a real fight, in keeping with both their name and status as scourge of the Settled Systems!!! I honestly don’t believe I can beat Tier Six of the Vanguard piloting exam on Extreme even with all available in-game cheats!!! Oh sure I’ll try anyway, but this is one case where I’m prepared to fail and just accept it.
There’s finally a point to food and drink with the Sustenance setting! They’ve always been useless as health items, so up until the latest update I only used them for the bonuses. But now I have to eat and drink to stay fed and hydrated, and the bonuses are just that—nice little extras. The icing on the cake? I get bonus XP for turning off the useless Food Healing setting! And the Nutrition skill increases all the other bonuses for food and drink now! Both positive and negative!!! Most importantly, this is one new feature that feels perfectly balanced with play. It keeps me engaged without becoming a distraction.
Ammo weight! Say goodbye to collecting a truly absurd amount of ammo. Now not only does “every bullet count”, but every round counts at least twice with this setting on. It’s far more realistic, having to think about how much ammo you can realistically carry, against checking your fire, making every shot count for the most, avoiding suppressing fire except for when it’s strategically advantageous, etc. Now it’s strategically necessary to favour the right amount of ammo for your preferred loadout, and sell off the rest.
Which brings us to Vendor Credits. Hoo-boy-howdy and all gods be damned. You can really make life difficult for yourself with this one. And you wouldn’t believe how well it’s balanced against the Carry Capacity setting. As an absurd example that nevertheless works, set Carry Capacity to Extremely High and Vendor Credits to Reduced with Ammo set to Weighted. After looting and pillaging your favourite Spacer base—we’re talking about unprecedented looting potential here, where you can make off with absolutely everything that isn’t nailed down and still fast travel to your ship after—you’ll have to run around to every vendor in an entire city just to pawn it all off!
Amazing. Simply amazing.

NGL I’m already getting sick of Universe Ten.
Maybe it’s the Space-Jesus with Bronze Highlights spacesuit. I’m supposed to be the “I’m fuckin’ Starborn, bitch!” guy, but god damn bronze highlights are ugly as shit.
Maybe it’s being stuck with Sarah for so long up front when skipping the Main Quest. I far prefer to spend equal time with every Constellation member up front and THEN favour Andreja.
Maybe it’s the very-near unplayability of the game with Advanced Afflictions and Improve Only Affliction Treatments—oh sure I know where everything is and how to craft everything I need, it’s just such an obnoxious diversion, attention seizing, distracting, and out of balance with the rest of play.
Maybe it’s the fact that every artifact and temple in Universe Ten has spawned in a maximum affliction zone, even the ones on worlds that are otherwise paradises. Like what the hell.
Or I dunno, maybe ten playthroughs really is one too many… but the best kit and surprises don’t appear until Universe Eleven so I have to stick it out at least for one more speedrun…

CW: Starfield: Universe Ten (minor new-game+ spoilers)
Hellllooooo Universe Ten!
Happy with the new character respec feature. Now only stuck with original Background but can change everything else.
Hate the Starborn Avitus spacesuit. Bronze highlights paired with space-Jesus robes? Serpent save me.
Say why have my shields and weapons improved on the same-old Starborn Guardian VI starship??
And huh what do you know my space parents are the fuzziest, they not only invited themselves to the Lodge but offered to bring home-baked snickerdoodles for the whole Constellation team. Can you believe they’re House Va’ruun?
(no idea why Noel keeps following me everywhere around the Lodge like a lost puppy. super weird. pictures not included)

CW: Starfield (minor endrun/new-game+ spoilers)
Farewell, Universe Nine… you were rarified, nay epic, double nay—legendary!—until all of a sudden you weren’t
But dammmnnn did I leave on a high note with the fastest, most brutally efficient speedrun of the Buried Temple yet. By comparison it was more than a little anticlimactic to hunt down the remaining #StarbornPowers after, but at the same time a decent way to unwind ahead of the Unity. Ah, you bittersweet ambivalence.

Yeah, even after the latest update, the narrative of Legacy’s End is still stuck—Delgado locked himself in the briefing room and refuses to come out, and not a single #StarbornPower can convince him otherwise
So my parallel self and I agree. Fuck this shit. It’s time for Universe Nine to suck it as hard as the Va’ruun-Zealot-Andreja Universe.
(Oh and try out the new character respec feature)

Well that’s just great. My whole 9-universe playthrough has been ruined by a single bug.

Made it to the operations centre on The Key. But then nothing happens. The narrative doesn’t progress. The game is just stuck, even after restarting the whole console and trying every variation of the end-run.

Callsign “Renegade”. Time to crush the #CrimsonFleet once and for all.
Well. Once and for all for Universe Nine… kinda wish some decisions would ripple through the multiverse, like, destroying the Crimson Fleet in one universe demoralizes them in every other universe, and then in at least some they self-destruct without the need for further intervention. That would be wild.

Honestly, what an assault rifle. Kryx’s Revenant MagShear: legendary, extended mag, titanium build, with lacerate effect.
Definitely gonna use this to shred up The Key, then bust out Keelhauler especially for Delgado.
