What Did You Do In Gaming Today

Front Mission 1st Remake

I've managed to get Royd and Ryuji's Short weapons proficiency to 12. I'm now working on Natalie, Royd's second-in-command in the mercenary group Canyon Crows which is being utilized by the O.C.U. to help win the conflict against the U.C.S. Oh, and Short weapons are basically just firearms like rifles and machine guns.

Clan party was a lot of fun event for Friday event I agree. 
Today I am going to do more TOA and learners. 

He is right? Lol ~ 
Today I did a few things on OSRS. I decided to try doing a boss monster I've never done before which is called Scurries and it's just a big giant rat. I ended up getting a rare drop after just 6 kills so that's kinda cool.

DH 2.1 & Iris 1.7 are officially out for MC1.20.6.  This is with released versions of both, plus the Bliss shader..

I'm going to have to re-tweak my settings though.  The released versions are much better performers.  With my current settings tweaked for the dev versions I'm allocating too much memory to Java for instance.

This is a good boss to learn on it teaches you a lot of boss mechanics. 
Today I just downloaded an old game I haven't played in awhile called Fate. I didn't know it was on Steam. I haven't played it since I was really young and I'm looking forward to running around on it. I remembered this being one of the best games to play in the 2005-2008 era of the internet

Yeah I'm getting back in the swing of things again practicing on these.

Today I got 98 Herblore + 91 FM and tomorrow I figure I could either get 99 Herblore and max it out or do another FM level not sure which yet. I kinda wanted to get 99 Smithing/Herblore/Woodcutting/Firemaking at the same time just because that would look super neat getting 4 99's at the same time but I'm not sure I can hold off getting 99 Herblore since I'm now so close lol

Getting the 4 at once would be cool. You should try to save it until you level them all at the same time for a 4 99 party.

I did my first big raid today! Hardest one in the game! And I only died 2x so I am hyped about that, since most people die 50 something times their first go around lol ~ But TBH I  had 2 great people teaching me and explaining things extremely well so that got me through it I think. Plus I got to hang out with clan friends and chat on VC and that's always fun to me ^_^!

Few screenies, I had to take from my phone  because I couldn't stop and screenshot during the raid lol:

Front Mission 1st Remake (Switch):

So far I've managed to raise Captain Royd's, Ryuji's, and Natalie's (Royd's second in command in the mercenary group Canyon Crows hired by the O.C.U.) Short weapons proficiency to 12 and raised Royd's, Ryuji's, and Natalie's Dodge ratings considerably in the process. When it comes to Keith though, I might have to use the Guard command a lot to increase his Dodge proficiency to the same (roughly speaking) to the same rough proficiency as the aforementioned 3 mercs. His Dodge rating hasn't increased as much as I'd like it to because I switched out all of the wanzers for the current Canyon Crow members to a hulking type with high defense, but less Dodge stats for the remainder of the training, which, as it turns out, might not have been a good idea to do if I'm wanting Keith's Dodge numbers to increase to where I want them. So, I'll be switching out the jerry-rigged hulking defense based wanzers for the wanzers I had on everyone before which has a total higher chance to Dodge which is pretty much all that's needed to increase a wanzer pilot's Dodge rating other than using the Guard command in a battle. I'm still training the wanzer pilots in the Arena though until I get J.J., the last member of the group (for now) up to the proficiency levels I want my wanzer pilots to be at for the next mission which is where I recruit Frederick if I manage to clear the sortie with him alive and intact. I think it's pretty awesome that players can recruit fellow O.C.U. citizens to the mercenary group, which Captain Royd Clive has been given the authority to do. ^^ Oh, Keith's Short weapons proficiency levels is currently at 11, but I want it at 12 so the Dodge proficiency will also increase along the way.

Same thing. I logged on that this morning and did the quests for the new land though I am a bit behind everyone else because I don't play this that often anymore.

Front Mission 1st Remake:

I've improved the Short weapons proficiency to 16 for Royd, Ryuji, Natalie, Keith, and Frederick while simultaneously increasing everyone's Dodge proficiency between 9 and 12. I clearly need to improve everyone's Dodge proficiency even higher, but in the meantime, I need to work on getting J.J's Short weapons proficiency to 16 as well. Funny thing about having a higher proficiency in the weapons categories though when it comes to increasing the odds in which I'm able to win in the Arena is I can get more money from the bets on my chances of winning than, say, if a character's Short weapons proficiency would be at the starting level of 9 which means it wouldn't cause any damage. So, basically, I can equip weapons that inflict less damage than the heavy hitters I've got in inventory and it barely affects the damage the character in question will inflict on the Arena opponent. So, it's a pretty good way to get a lot of Huffman Dollars pretty fast and with minimal effort as long as I keep my wanzer (mechs the characters use) parts to a point that it can actually be destroyed by the Arena opponent. So, risky, but so far I've managed to win with 1.80 betting odds rather than the 1.54 betting odds I was accumulating funds with before. In other words, I win more money after the match. ^^ It's an interesting revelation, that's for sure. I never would've even thought it'd be possible to do so without decreasing the odds as low as they could go. A tougher wanzer with higher defense, HP, and that's more expensive isn't the only way to win a wanzer battle in Front Mission 1st Remake apparently. ^^ ^^ Currently, J.J.'s Short weapons proficiency is at 12, so I've got a bit of grinding to do before it gets to 16, but I'm a patient person when it comes to games~ ^^ ^^ The next mission I believe is to save a character that I can recruit into the Canyon Crows if I save him from being destroyed. That's why I'm making my party so powerful. Basically, Peewee is in a convoy of supply trucks (he drives one, too) that suddenly get ambushed by U.C.S. units. Tbh I'm not sure what happens if Peewee gets destroyed as to whether or not I'll still be able to recruit him to the Canyon Crows mercs led by Royd, but I'd rather not have to find out the hard way after a wasted attempt to save him only to fail. I've already gone into that mission (O.C.U. Mission 4 I think it is) unprepared and had to quit before I was forced to watch the mercs be destroyed by the U.C.S. troops after I wasted time on a clearly premature attempt to save Peewee from being destroyed. Also, after clearing Mission 4, I can recruit another character in addition to Peewee called Yang, but the way to do it has more steps than I'm able to remember, so I'll be following an online guide to recruit her. Especially since she already has a Skill the moment she joins the party. ^^ ^^ I forgot what the Skill is, but the Guide says what it is, so I'll say the name of it and type its description in the next post. For now, it's time to grind away with J.J. in the Arena until his Short weapons proficiency increases from 12 to 16.

Chillin playing some Destiny 2.

Working on 99 Herblore on RS. I could get it tonight but I don't know if I will. I kinda want to wait until tomorrow when people are more online so I can have a 99 party.

Front Mission 1st Remake:

Another person has been recruited into the Canyon Crows mercenary group. A woman by the name of Meihua Yang who specializes in Melee and Long range wanzer attacks. She joined the group with the skill Double (attacks with two Melee weapons if there's one in each hand) already in her arsenal. She is a POWERHOUSE!!!!! I think I'm in love. XD None of the other characters have any skills yet, so, seeing one in action is pretty fun and cool. ^^ Her proficiency levels still came at the default of 9 though, so, I've been grinding away in the Arena with her to increase her Melee proficiency level. So far she's at 15... or maybe 16... the Switch is off, so I have to go off of memory. I know it's one of those. Oh, her Melee and Long proficiency levels were actually at 10, not the beginning level of 9. I forgot about that... at least I hope I'm remembering that right... So, after completing the last mission with the party's proficiency levels increased to where I was comfortable taking them into the next battle, Meihua Yang joined because Royd (the protagonist of the O.C.U. story) thought he lost a fiancee by the name of Karen in the prologue of the game, but Meihua said Karen showed her a picture of him and that she's still alive and she can take him to her. That's why Royd recruited her. The incident that supposedly killed Karen happened a year ago and Meihua said Karen showed her the picture of Royd a few months ago, so she's clearly alive somehow. I'm really glad Meihua joined the mercenary group though because she's an amazing wanzer pilot. To finally have a Melee/Long range specialist in the group feels pretty cool, too. ^^ Right now I'm grinding away in the arena to try to get everyone's relevant proficiency levels increased to a point that I feel comfortable with, but I'm raking In a lot of funds, too, because apparently the proficiency levels don't factor in to the betting odds in the Arena, so, with my characters at the proficiency levels they're at, they're inflicting more damage than the default damage of the weapons they're equipped with. lol Right now I'm grinding for more money for wanzer upgrades using Royd. I'm betting $700 Huffman Dollars each match with a contestant named Hansel. With Royd's current wanzer setup, there's odds of 2.06 which means I'm really raking in the dough if he wins. rofl This game just got a lot more fun. XD ^^

Played Destiny 2 again today. I think I am getting hooked on this game now. 

[Sakura]

Yesterday I got 99 Herblore and maxed that skill out ~ 

Spoiler

Today I plan on working on Firemaking, getting it to 99. Not sure if Smithing/WC/Firemaking will be the next 99 because they are all about the same level.

Had a lil party with friends at our clan/guild hall! We just hung out and talked and did an item drop party but it was fun.

Front Mission 1st Remake:

I've had all the wanzer pilots in the Canyon Crows mercenary group train their Short weapons category proficiency level to 22 which took a while but it was fun to do. Oh, Meihua learned the Melee Skill First (Level 2) which sometimes combines with Double which is just devastating to any opponent. I swear to God, I'm in love with that woman. lol I'll have her learn the last Melee Skill that there is to learn now which is: Stun. When First activates is when Meihua can attack with her Melee weapons first before the opponent. Very handy for fighting units with guns since gun attacks usually go before any Melee retaliation happens. Stun basically has the same effect for a few turns that a taser has on a person. They can't do anything which means they can't attack (I don't know if they'd still be able to move around the map or not though) which leaves them pretty much as sitting ducks. lol After that, I'll have Meihua learn the only Long category weapons proficiency Skill that there is to learn: Guide, which aims the Long-range missile/rocket attacks at certain a specific part of the wanzer they're targeting with such weapons. Most of the other characters have learned the Short category weapons proficiency level Skill called Duel which targets any part of the targeted wanzer. I wasn't expecting it to activate with every use of a gun attack though. o.o SWEETNESSSSSSSS!!!!!!! Level 1 of the skill comes with a lot of accuracy loss, Level 2 has less of an accuracy penalty, Level 3 hits most of the time, and Level 4 hits 100% of the time. So far, only some characters have leveled up their Duel to Level 3 and I can't train them in that skill for the ones that are at Duel Level 1 and Short weapons proficiency 22 without making them even stronger which I don't want to do just yet at this early point in the game. I've finished up training every pilot but Meihua because I wanted to save the best for last so I could enjoy watching her obliterate wanzer parts with such viciousness. ^^ Time to train Meihua's Melee proficiency level to the point where she learns Stun, followed by training her Long range weapon proficiency level to the point where she learns Guide. Ohh man, this's going to be funnnnnn~ ^^)
