I need help to get through the rest of the month

Unnamed Cursed Doll - A Jeb @namelesswrench.bsky.social · 14d

My rent is paid, so October starts now for my finances.

Of course, disability pretty much runs out immediately once rent is paid, so I'm going into the month on the ropes.

Plus, it's my birthday month. (The 8th!)

So here's the fundraising.

I finally beat my first playthrough of Enchant Farm and god what a game. It's an RPG with Pokemon typing of characters and attacks, but you also equip weapons and armor with those types, and you can fuse new gear with unused characters, and you field 4 characters at once, and it's a free game! Free!

A screenshot from Enchant Farm after a successful battle. The four party members stand in a diamond formation on the right side of a battlefield made of lava. In front is Aubergonath, an eggplant dragon girl. Above her is Windi, a mage with long teal hair with prominent ahoge, a hospital gown, and an illness that causes her to have 1 HP and DEF permanently. Behind her is Quick Move, a girl in black and bright blue who pretends to be an android and progressively gets faster as battles go on. At the bottom is Darkness 1, who is dumb as a brick but fancies herself a master merchant and is always on top of every situation (in her mind).

clearly they've spared no expense in casting for the post-Daniel Craig era

(also, this is the first time I've heard about vanilla 3e having an innuendo skill, which is just the perfect encapsulation of the absurdity of long-form TTRPG skill lists)

cosmicspear @cosmicspear.bsky.social · 3d

okay I think I can count today's MegaDumbCast, in which Kris lists off all the skills from third edition D&D that got removed in later editions while playing sad, mournful music in the background, as one of the podcasts's finest moments

what the fuck even are these EX skill sparks

yes these were garbage enough for me to open the sorcerer early so I could start trading them in

Burst I's EX skills (learned randomly after battles) in Enchant Farm. Here she has learned Expertise II, Slash Mastery II, Stab Mastery I, Revenge I, and Bash Mastery I, all of which are useless or near-useless for her primarily magic-based build.

I see no problems whatsoever with this statement

I'm sorry to need some help, a $15 payment is due today and I'd like to rake it up ASAP; additionally, I've got a $50 list of groceries I need some help with too ;___;

I've been working hard and messing my sleep up in the process--anything helps.

assuming I'm not just drawing connections based on coincidence, and based on the item's description I don't think I am, it's referencing Romancing SaGa 2, since the enemies in the fight in question are in Imperial Cross formation

cosmicspear @cosmicspear.bsky.social · 8d

fuck I *just* realized why the reward for beating the full power version of Enchant Farm's regular final boss is an imperial cross

perfect pun, no notes

cosmicspear @cosmicspear.bsky.social · 8d

got the gear I want to carry over for my second run set up

sadly a lot of the stuff I was actually using was synthed with party members so I can't bring it over

The equipment I have assigned to Wind I in Enchant Farm for carryover purposes, which consists of a Wedding Cake Knife, a Black Witch Cane, a Reflector, a Fierce Deity Shield, and a Fairy Doll.

The equipment I've assigned to Starlight I for carryover, which consists of a Dragon Hunter Bow, an Undead Rapie (the final R being missing is intentional), a True Orladin Guard, a Psycho Rage, and a Fortune.

the equipment I've equipped Spirit Bless with for carryover, which consists of a Drill Spear, a Queen's Staff, an Ithilius Shield, Merrill Ur's Shield, and an Imperial Cross.

The equipment I've given Water I for carryover, consisting of the Mad King's Lance, an Ultima Sword, a Zircon Shilling, a Plasma Spike, and the INTENSIFY.

I definitely want to do a replay or twelve at some point, try out some different parties, maybe figure out where the hell I can find actual fire sources

but for now I have a review to write

cosmicspear @cosmicspear.bsky.social · 11d

and that's Enchant Farm done

that sure was quite the game, I'll say that much here

The "Thanks for playing" screen at the end of Enchant Farm.
