#achievement grinding

[snackhouse]

Kaycee’s Mod really threw a wrench in things right after I got all the achievements the first time but after like 60 hours of hard work I’m back on top!

#I know this isn’t much but I’m very proud of myself for doing it #inscryption #kaycee’s mod #achievement grinding #snackary’s mind

Overwhelmed thinking about Urianger and Alisaie... I've always seen her as the trans twin (based on recognising trans autistic lesbian friends in her :P I know it's more popular to see Alphy as the trans twin but this is my personal feeling for me where I know it in my deepest heart of hearts, I'm not looking to invalidate anyone :D).

And like. She clearly figured that out IMMEDIATELY. Toddler gender euphoria moment, kinda thing. Urianger was the next person to know, and who knows how he recognised that and that she was Not The Same As Alphy... but he KNEW. And was her biggest supporter when she was baby, he's been calling her "my Lady" with utmost sincerity and mutual delight since she was knee high to him. (He had no idea why it felt so good being the No.1 Ally or why Louisoix being so immediately cool with it was a personal relief)

I think she deferred that half year before entering the Studium behind Alphinaud while she got herself sorted out coming out and transitioning, she always sounds so down about being behind him by a few months but this headcanon means she had a lot more going on internally to deal with! Paperwork to sort out! Not thinking about magical theory and politics ALL DAY like certain twins.

(Améliance was DELIGHTED btw and was like "I always wanted a daughter! I have so many wonderful ideas for outfits for you!!" and then instead of giving her entirely identical outfits to Alphy, gave her nearly identical ones with pink details instead of blue ones.)

meanwhile Urianger has not figured out a single thing about himself while wandering around in his dysphoria robes and cowl, hanging out with the overtly sapphic Moenbryda who also won't stop hitting on him once they're older and never wondering why she has a soft spot for him as well as her little squad of girlfriends. Oblivious to being collected into that group even when he is kissing Moen all the time.

Anyway it took Urianger all the way until he lived in Il Mheg to finally trans his gender to whatever arcane and wonderful thing it is now. Nonbinary? Agender? transfemme? he/him but it's on thin ice? :P He's on a journey.

So he's the baby trans and Alisaie gets to support him and answer all his stupid questions because she now is his elder in queer stuff :') And thinking about her being his mentor absolutely obliterated me, okay.

#ffxiv #urianger augurelt #alisaie leveilleur #this is just how you play the game and I'm grinding achievement points in Headcanon #shadowbringers spoilers #I keep thinking about Alisaie setting a wise hand on his shoulder and it makes me well up

MASTER RANK. FINALLY. I DONE IT

aaand, that's all the rider card titles in the game! I technically 100%ed this save a few years ago, because you don't need all titles, just all the achievements. (part of this process included me printing out a giant checklist of every monster gene in the game. and then tracking down every single one of them. because this game! does NOT tell you which genes you've already had before! so even if you've hatched plenty of monsters, if you released one without taking note of every gene it had? yeah you're gonna have to go find those all over again just to make sure you HAVE actually had them.)

The rest of the achievements are a decent bit easier, aside from tracking down all 100 Poogies (little collectible pig guys) (someone uploaded an entire imgur album of their locations. I am so glad.) Otherwise it's just stuff like clearing parts of the story or clearing all the subquests, stuff you wind up doing anyways.

THOUGH. there's achievements for getting high enough battle ranks in the online mode, too. These aren't very hard to reach and the achievements just go up to S rank. So for a few years I was under the impression that was the maximum and I didn't have to worry about any more online battle stuff.

....except about a month or so ago i was grinding for the online-only DLC items, and hit S+. huh. which gives you a few titles. And then hit S++. and then it turns out there's a Master rank, which requires 300 total battles, and a win rate of 70%. There's two different win rates the game keeps track of, your overall win rate across every battle, and then just the last 20. THANKFULLY, the battle ranks only look at that second win rate. So not a hard achievement to get if you coordinate with someone else online, but otherwise insanely easy to miss.

...finding the criteria for Master rank was also really difficult seeing as there's like.... two posts about it. on the entire internet. great. MHS2 unfortunately takes up a ton of search results for this game, which sucks because some of the mechanics here are REALLY weird and never explained.

There ARE other titles in the game unrelated to any achievements or progression, but they're all just for slaying 5/10/15 of a given monster, which isn't too hard, aside from keeping track of stuff like all the recolors of small monsters.

I haven't fully upgraded every armor set/weapon but aside from that! Totally 100%ed! ...somehow i only have 500 hours here!

#...I'm REALLY tempted to start grinding out upgrading stuff. but that's all offline stuff and therefore not urgent at all. #especially since I still need to do a bunch of stuff on ACNL and MH4U. mainly ACNL. #there's no way I get very far in 4U given that I'm barely at G rank. and the amount of achievements in main series monster hunter is insane #ACNL just needs around 100 more dream suite visits and maybe some item catalog stuff? #but. yeah. yaaayyyyy 3DS online shutdown.... :( #MHST #monster hunter stories #monster hunter #3ds #sorry for the rant i just need to throw monster hunter stories shaped bricks at people's heads sometimes.

i could write a 100 page essay about what a fucking masterpiece warframe is. i will write many words in the tags. please readem if you want my 'tism.

#ive been playing on and off since 2019 but its only recently when i dumped destiny 2 (probably for good) and picked it up #to fill the grind-shaped hole in my heart #that i have uncovered just how FUCKING INCREDIBLE warframe is #everything about it makes me incredibly autistic #from its masterful utilization of an incredibly styled and individual soundtrack full of absolute bangers #to its seemingly unique understanding of how and why an MMO is special to and because of its players #and its truly special story- a uniquely human take on the “post-ruin scifi” tale #it knows exactly how and when to yank on your heart to make you weep like a baby #and it knows exactly when you're going to get angry and want vengeance #and it knows when to let you let loose and unleash hell #SPOILERS FOR THE NEW WAR AHEAD #IF YOU THINK YOU COULD PLAY THE GAME PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE DO #SPOILER WARNING #i think the narmer corruption of fortuna was genuinely one of the most gutpunchingly horrible moments ive ever experienced in a video game #i started playing when fortuna was already in the game but the story of fortuna and vox solaris was really what made warframe stand out 2 m #i would drop into the orb vallis as gauss and dash around doing bounties and fishing and mining because i really loved everything about #fortuna and wanted to spend as much time there as possible #for me vox solaris was my proudest achievement (in warframe.) to say “i helped that! i did that!” was an incredibly good feeling #the story really spoke to me on a deeper level #and vox solaris has always been my favorite faction as a result #so to do absolutely everything that i could #to lift together with my tenno brothers and sisters and yet STILL fail? #and to have it rubbed in my face by the corruption of the greatest shining pillar of hope in the warframe universe? #felt like i got kicked in the stomach #i felt sad and angry. but most of all i was DRIVEN. #which is GOOD. because RARELY does a video game present you the “you lost” scenario and have it feel not only satisfyingly painful #but MOTIVATING. #my only complaint with the new war is that i didnt get to hack ballas to pieces by myself #i had real flashbacks to running around helping people as gauss while approaching the final boss with erra #and to step onto the ballas arena as gauss prime. i nearly came from the narrative significance
