I also just don't like the 'Looking for Moots' culture around intro posts, which is why I haven't bothered making one. Interacting and posting about stuff I'm interested in (*when I'm able to do so*) is more reasonable to me than just barfing out a list and expecting everyone to take my word for it.
In lieu of an intro post for pinned, I will tack this up instead. There are many different ways to find out about me; whether you follow what I do on this particular internet outpost is up to you.
When this first kicked in while I was setting up my first Depot Bus in Wuling's Core AIC area I locked in so hard for the first half of the song that I finished what I was doing fast enough to just stop and vibe for a sec. Remind me to get a download later because I need this outside of Endfield.

I think at this point it's all but mandatory to do the Operator side quests first before listening to the operator themes when MSR releases them. Blurring and Snap Shot were...alright, I suppose (esp. in comparison to the bangers of the AK EP), but after the quests they hit *different.*

With how badly people panned Kestrel thanks to underwhelming kit and excessive investment to acquire and unlock said kit, this is about as good as it gets for the RA welfare in name only. 🥲
That said, at least they spelled Rhodes correctly. Official merch can't even get that right sometimes.

I seem to be next to a small, unlabeled Vtuber cluster here which...you know what, fair enough. If I wasn't poor at this juncture of my life, I'd give it a go.
Alas, using my webcam is cheaper and less technically intensive when I do not have the means to give supporting artists fair wages.

There's a kind of study called a non-inferiority trial that compares new techniques, treatments, or regimens to existing standards of care to see if at the very least, the new option is not significantly worse than the old.
Thinking about that today. No reason in particular.

Of all the things in Endfield that *aren't* tutorialized, this apparently is one of them:
Around Wuling you may find some dehydrated slugs around the place and you can spray them with water for a small white triangle loot pickup. Whoever thought to try this first and leave a memo is smart.

Personally, I don't think min-maxing to this extent is necessary, since the game is pretty well-balanced and paced around having setups that are merely "good enough." The low power notification would be annoying to me personally, too.
But is it cool that we can do this? Absolutely.

Last night's insomnia-laced Endfield push for me ended up putting me just past currently released main story with Xiranite production set up in both buildable locations. Despite its very glaring flaws at times I'm looking forward to what it has to offer while I clear out sidequests/collectibles.

Admittedly I should not be awake but Endfield made me lose track of time to the point where I was awake to receive this screenshot in my DM's and Discord Server.
AT LONG LAST. SOMETHING. ANYTHING ABOUT MY FAVORITE GAME MODE. PLEASE LET IT BE GOOD.

Arknights disability representation continues to be pretty dang cool in Endfield, and I think that's neat.
For example, one of Lifeng's ultimate quips is "Guess which hand will crush you!" which goes even harder when you realize the fact that he's lost an arm and wields a prosthetic. Pop off, king.

I've made it to the Land Of The Beans.
Endfield's opening in Valley IV definitely pales in comparison, and perhaps they should've led with this instead. But then again, having most of the tutorial tedium out of the way by now means that Wuling has a lot more freedom to let Gryph's strengths shine.

If Endfield ever becomes a moddable game (-shakes fist at live-service gaming industry-) this is the first mod I will humbly request anyone to make. We don't even have to add a goofy animation for it, the sound alone would be enough.
Whenever I collect any Aurylene in Endfield I mentally play the Power Moon jingle because some of these really do feel like collect-a-thon objectives and I low key miss Mario Odyssey.

One of my besties had a sick day and we started a new Terraria playthrough to check out the new update.
It still impresses me that Relogic just keeps pushing out "last" updates and they continue to find new and inspired ways to add to their game, on top of the burgeoning modding scene.

In the process of procrastinating on Wuling I finally played Yvonne's side story and she's pretty alright. Main story writing did her dirty and I'm glad Endfield is the right place for her. 🥹
That said I must still ask her to please stop being an asshole to Andre 😡 why can't he catch a break man...

Normally I'm not posting when I go live but if you're not inside my Discord server, you wouldn't have known that I skipped last Saturday's usual stream. My weekend ended up being pretty busy, so I'm doing stuff today instead! Gonna do Contingency Contract & some Endfield today.
