Bleakbane Plays BATTLETECH, Part Twenty-Nine:
Bleakbane Plays BATTLETECH, Part Twenty-Nine:
Bleakbane Plays BATTLETECH, Part Forty (Finale):
So time to pick a fight with Natasha Kerensky.
The Dobrev had been located. Crashed and severely banged up after the idiots misjumped with it so many times.
And Yang had discovered that the crate the Bounty Hunter had given them (that had the Bull Shark bits in it) was, surprise, surprise a trap, with a homing beacon imbedded in it. So that was another problem to have to deal with.
Bleakbane Plays BATTLETECH, Part Thirty-Seven:
So, did I say this part would be Thursday? Hahahaha, silly me, forgot that the RNG would rather do ANYTHING than actually let me, like, paly or anything. Yesterday was a late start (whereas normally on Thursday at the moment I can get a goodly few hours in) and what time I had was frittered away mostly reading Sarna while I tried to get some decent contracts.
So. AI Dungeon. Which is in the style of the old text adventure, that procedurally generates stuff in response to what you put in.
Heard about from Distortion Devil on the Role with Me stream and thought I couldn't not give it a shot for fifteen minutes. (Watched a couple of youtube videos first, then dived in.)
Here is the result:
Bleakbane Plays BATTLETECH, Part Eight:
So. The choice of where to go boiled down to the 1.5 skull travel contract to Linhauiguan or 1-skull Joppa (which was a trade hub and also a black market planet).
After a lot of debate, Mylassta decided to risk it and go to the former.
Bleakbane Plays BATTLETECH, Part Seven:
First thing, Lynessa had to cancel and re-do a couple of the work orders, so that the Blackjack could be repaired first, then wait a day before taking the next contract.
Bleakbane Plays BATTLETECH, Part Twelve:
Bleakbane Plays BATTLETECH, Part Fifteen:
So, next mission would be a 3-skull escort mission for the Taurians (before their reputation dipped below the point it could be taken...)
Mylassta took the Decapitator. Scarlet grabbed the Fair Marauder and Pseekie subbed in for Summer in the Catapult Hammer. After some thought, Mylassta assigned Velina to the Stalker Barrage - she needed some practise if she was to be subbing in for Alarhan as was the intention.
Bleakbane Plays BATTLETECH, Part Thirty:
So, as it's gonna be a short one tonight, I'mma going to defer the decision (because I can't be arsed to faff about at the moment) and I'll just get on with the missions where the paladins are. (I'm leaning towards installing Edmon's mod - if nothing else, it makes me much less beholden to RNG. And also means that the entire Arano region is basically not just worthless.)
Lynessa sighed and bought the three +ER medium lasers.
Bleakbane Plays BATTLETECH, Part Thirty-One:
Blame the contract RNG for a short session...!
So, I elected to go down the mod route. I figured I might as well, since I will likely play RogueTech at someone, so get that groundwork out of the way now, right?
Part Thirty-Two
Day Three-Hundred and Thirty-Four.
Bionic leg for Hallie.
Oh. It was a techprof persona core, not a regular persona core. You used it for research, not starship control. Oh well. Use to learn FTL drive then, Stab, arriving back at base, guessed.
More Lenere tribe visitors.
Stab ordered the wall where the ship would go to be thickened up.
Part 19B: Three in Twenty-Four
Autumn Day 21, Year Two
Illy learns to cook crab cakes off the telly.
Uh, okay? I guess kicking Joja Mart out meant maybe Pierre took on more staff? Or does he work every day now (that seems daft...)
Part 16: HORSE!
Still so much to discover, as I have found...
Thursday, Summer Day 25, Year Two
Illy is dumb. She saw Robin yesterday and forgot to get her to move the mill then (thanks Maru's electricity...) So that can't be used for another couple of days...
Oh, hey, Gunther! Illy doesn't Gunther outside of the Museum, like... Ever...
Part 9: Winter is Coming
It's getting chilly in the chilling-out game...
Saturday, Autumn Day 27, Year One
Hardwood, honey, fibre. Well, that's not too unreasonable for a farm warp totem. Illy has a fair bit of honey now...
After chores, which include harvesting all the pumpkins, Illy's first job is go find that basket!
Part 11: Hard to Sum Up
Shortish one today...
Tuesday, Winter Day 23, Year One
Apparently, the rain totem makes it more likely to rain the next day. Stands to reason...
Leah's birthday is today... First job, then, is to give her a gold crocus.
SERIOUSLY, Marnie?
Ever wonder what I write when I'm not writing pony words?
I thought it would be funny to write a a 2000 word fanfic for a tweet-length Discord message: Smart Girls Beating You At Chess.
I have to say, I was expecting a shitpost, but there was actually a pretty fun story here that kind of sort of made sense.

Part 7: Heavy Things
Onwards...!
(Oh, I should note that this breakneck update pace will abate at least briefly, in about another week, since I'll be away!)
Monday, Autumn Day 15, Year One
Mayor Linkara has left Illy a note to bring nine items to display for the fair tomorrow.
Illy's new corn around the sprinkler has come in, and she finally has enough gold corn to complete the bundle!
Bleakbane Plays BATTLETECH, Part Thirty-Four:
Okay. 3.5 skull urban battle for the pirates to distract some Capellans. The same lance as before: Zuranna in the Overload, Mylassta in the Fair Marauder, Natasha in the Bull Shark and Summer in the Annihilator.
Part 12: This is a lot of work...
So this will be the last one for a little bit, since I am out for a week or so, so you can breathe a little!
Sunday, Winter Day 28, Year One
Wow, Mercury just laid an iridium-quality egg!
Bleakbane Plays BATTLETECH, Part Twenty-One:
Short one today.
The next mission on the list was a 3.5 skull polar base capture mission, to deal with a Kuritan research station.
Shelat would take the Decapitator, Scarlet the Bull Shark, Vey the Stalker Barrage and Natasha the Catapult Hammer.
