Hamelin Prize

A new Exolimit event is here with the Mid-Season patch and I am once again tempted to put way too much time into getting many of these single-pull pods as I can. The question is if I'd get anything of value or if I'm doomed to further amass Admiral accessories. It's a shame I can't just have all of them hanging off my weapon like a teenager's key chain. Or - you know - get a reasonable return of CUBEs for my duplicates.

Lobby open to Sneks and Victory Pit members, and drops enabled for this final two-week period of goodie drops.

Exolimit Time.
Hurling myself into fights,
For them single pulls.

So I learned last time to not brag about having a bunch of extra Pokemon because Infinite Fusion decided to make me use them. Last time had the highest death rate of the playthrough thus far, and yet we somehow have survived still. So we can only build up again as best we can via the Safari Zone!

... And some more offscreen grinding to offset the fact I really should have had this on Easy Mode for the free EXP sharing and to save you all from a few hours of Voltorb Flip.

Fusion Nuzlocke Addendum: Dead Pokemon can be used as fusion fodder, but only as long as the other Pokemon is alive. A fusion of two dead Pokemon cannot be used. When a fused Pokemon dies, both parts are considered 'dead.'

List of DNA Donors: Nidoqueen, Spinarak, Zubat, Butterfree, Rattata (Episode 1); Pidgeotto, Weepinbell, Ekans, Poliwag, Pikachu, Oddish, Geodude (Episode 2); Gyarados, Charmeleon, Dugtrio, Voltorb (Episode 3); Murkrow, Machoke, Duskull, Slowking, Nidoking, Anorith, Onix, Honedge, Kabuto, Grimer, Togepi (Episode 4).

Pre-Safari Zone,
Gambled for more Pokemon.
Took what I can get.

Started playing this again in my downtime, working through my rather sizeable daily/weekly backlog and picking up some goodies along the way. With all the DBD changes coming down the pipe, I felt we could touch on this again before I delve back into the Entity's Realm starting next month as a sort of comparison piece.

So, let's see if ol' Grinbin can survive or if he's doomed to get hunted down and corpse camped - as is still unfortunately the style of the game, from what I've seen. Probably will be a decent bit of venom on this one.

Playing this again.
Which might be a big mistake.
It still makes me mad.

Freeform Friday (7-11pm EDT): Dragon Ball the Breakers

Was thinking of popping into DBD because of the new QoL changes and other things coming down the pipe, but those are all going to still be on the PTB. So, I decided why not indulge in the Dragon Ball variant as its second season is ending and perhaps save the DBD for next month's docket.

Longplay/Straturday (2-6pm EDT): Pokemon Infinite Fusion

(VODs posted to YouTube)
Did two different grinds in prep for continuing. One was getting three Pokemon snagged from the Celadon Game Corner and doing some fusions, and the other was leveling up both the main squad and the rest of our still-living team. Just to circumvent spending a hefty amount of time grinding trainer refights should we encounter more mass death.

Social Activity Sunday (2-6pm EDT): Gundam Evolution

The Season 4 mid-season balance patch (and the new Exolimit Event) are here! So we have some changes to check out and see how many more Admiral decorations I'm going to pull from the limited time pods. I think I'm up to, like, five now from the last two. Open lobby for Sneks and Victory Pit crew.
