My daughter and I are playing SF6. About C Viper:

D: she is really cool, I like her. Maybe not as a main but she’s a good pocket because I like AKI too

Me: you call her mom now*

*no I didn’t really say that

Long story short, an actual Nazi doxxing ring. Enough people reported them that they went away for like 12 hours and then Elon personally brought them back. The site is dead. If you’re still on there, go lock your account right now

Windows 10 goes out of support today. My fave useless fact about w10 is that the iconic blue desktop background is a *photograph* - not CGI.

Tiny 'making of' vid here - youtu.be/_2RacX9DgWM...
Three images showing photographers in a studio, standing around a black curtained area with a projector and a 'Windows' logo etched onto a glass pane. The lower image shows a version of the iconic blue windows background, with blue lasers outlining and passing through an angled Windows logos against a dark background.

Maybe I'll figure out spells/items to see if we can get around softlocking?
slowbeef.bsky.social
Figured out how to give myself 99 stats in everything despite the game having a level and experience cap.

I don't think I'll necessarily stream like that because I still want to get a sense for how frustrating the game is but I do like the MP thing because then we can keep stream going...

Did this lead to Policenauts?

OR DID POLICENAUTS LEAD TO THIS???

As another embarassing story, Elvira 2 is actually one of the first games that I kinda fucked with as a teen. I only ever found the priest's character text file but I made him say "hey! i'm a da-pope-ah" which is a line from MTV's The State.

What? Open Elvira 2 save files in a hex editor and identify the MP part so you don't have to wait realtime to regenerate magic? Perish the thought, but if you did pick the computer programmer character class in the game, it would only be good role playing.
hex editor with two savefiles on the left, game on the right. "12" is highlighted which is hexadecimal for "18" - the amount of "PP" or "MP" that I have

wow ok elvira 2 is actually more brutally hard than the first one. We saved one Elvira I guess but we have 2 to go so... oh man there's 2 big mazes in this game and the first is killing me already...

You’re a hero!!!
check if your version gives you xp by repeatedly dragging the key in the fish tank even if you solved the puzzle and it's inside your inventory, saves a lot of time
slowbeef.bsky.social

Both kids are doing math homework.

My 11yo daughter laments: “You’re doing number lines. I liked number lines. I miss them. One day they just stop.”
slowbeef.bsky.social
wait

the xp thing isn't happening anymore...???

what gives!!!
slowbeef.bsky.social
tried both, no dice
slowbeef.bsky.social
Ok.

Usually when I try to do a series of games, I like to do 'em in order, but I cannot guarantee we won't get softlocked again in Elvira 2 tonight AND!!!

SF6 is gonna be under maintenance for C Viper's release so!

I also got Waxworks so we're gonna stream Elvira 2 and Waxworks if I need to grind

Unfortunately I get my arm ripped off since I have yet to solve that puzzle but maybe I can check

Trip report:
- every 60 seconds you get 1 MP back. My class is the mage class so when you get to Level 5-6, you have about 40 MP so it takes 40 minutes to get your MP back awesome
- every 120 seconds you get 4 XP. Not helpful unless I can figure out how to fast forward DOSBox (I did try frameskip)
slowbeef.bsky.social
Oh cool I rendered it unwinnable by using the meat to grind for the courage spell but I need it later for a poison fishtank puzzle, gotta go back earlier
slowbeef.bsky.social
- Inexplicably, I seem to be also gaining experince by keeping the game idle as well. It seems like every 2 minutes you get 4 XP?
- I have 3 hit points each for head, torso and each leg. But my arms have 4 hit points which I guess is the RPG equivalent of skipping leg day?

what is this game
slowbeef.bsky.social
For tonight's Elvira 2 stream I am doing a lot of offscreen grinding to mkae tonight's streaming experience as painless for you the viewer as possible.

- It seems to take anywhere from 30 to 60 seconds to regain a magic point in realtime. I am watching with a stopwatch and cannot understand it
