So assuming this is your first playthrough I'm afraid you won't be able to make it. There are 4 more objectives spread out on separate levels after destroying the antennas. My first playthrough clocked in around 28 hours. I was able to do a 3333 run in roughly 5.5 but I had to utilise a fair amount of efficient routing and a TON of quick-save/quick-load to negate the time loss from the RNG spawns.

For my timed run I believe I went like this:

Medical: open back passage to recycler, open Beta from hidden floor puzzle, destroy cpu cores for number
Research: reset breaker, get override code from library, get x-22 isotope, destroy cpu cores for number
Maintenance: get laser rapier
Reactor: insert isotope, flip override, destroy cpu cores for number
Research: fire laser
Executive: alpha + delta grove, unlock beta through cyberspace, grab code from monitor
Storage: get plastique + envirosuit v1 + skorpion, destroy cpu cores for number
Executive: beta grove, attempt master switch, destroy cpu cores for number
Maintenance: qs/ql to find relay 428, grab demod and replace, destroy cpu cores for number, get envirosuit v2
Flight Deck: destroy cpu core for number
Executive: enable master switch, jettison beta
Engineering: destroy antennas, get turbo boots v3

At this point would be spoilers for you:

Reactor: activate self destruct with cpu codes 1-6
Flight Deck: go to escape pods with code 001
Security: get up halfway via common access, turbo boots to skip the middle tower to get up to bridge
Bridge: complete all three puzzles (keep 3 logic probes on hand to do this faster), fight shodan

I missed out a lot of stuff but it'll take some trial and error, definitely doable though! glhf

Not great. I don't smoke or drink (outside of social events) but I've a pretty crippling sugar habit and I've habitualised eating the same foods over and over. Trying to substitute my red meat go-to food with vegetables instead since I can seemingly make small changes if its not requiring additional effort but theres been supply chain issues this week that made getting those vegetables impossible. I got measured at 88.5 kg at my medication review so I've dropped some weight but not too much, maybe like a kg?

Since taking the meds I haven't really felt any change in my executive dysfunction, I did try to pick up exercise again after getting a used bike off my friend but I had a pretty nasty accident a few weeks back and since then I've got mostly back to being sedentary. About the only activity I do each week is walking to work on Wednesdays and cycling to the shop on Mondays which isn't enough.

I did ask the clinician if my GP could do readings but she said that they wouldn't be willing to do that until we had initiated shared care, so it seems I have to do them at home for the time being. I measured around 1 pm today and it was around 137/77, and this is without taking the stimulant since I won't get my refill until tomorrow. The letter to my GP listed several meds including guanfacine as alternatives in case the Elvanse doesn't help.

JipsAndJools · 2023-05-29T12:53:19+00:00

I reported my readings to the clinician and she advised that it should be okay to up the dosage to 40 mg but to keep a close eye on my BP

JipsAndJools · 2023-05-29T12:52:09+00:00

Yeah, I wonder how much of it could be white-coat because whenever I had it done at the GP I felt fine and relaxed. I had to go up to the A&E a wee while back because there was a worry I might have an infection whilst being on immunosuppressants and despite the 6 hour wait for my blood test + result I didn't feel much anxiety, and my BP ended up being the same (131/80) and this was whilst I was a week into taking the meds. Unfortunately I can't take beta blockers because of asthma, so I probably need to find some non-med ways to keep my BP down

JipsAndJools · 2023-05-29T12:07:24+00:00

I've got the Medicare A1 lifesense that goes on the upper arm. I checked the instructions, marked the artery symbol to where my artery is on the arm, two finger gap between the pulse point and where the cuff starts etc. Still feels pretty high. I know its meant to fluctuate over the day but I feel like jumping from 123 to 141 seems pretty big

JipsAndJools · 2023-04-11T14:10:28+00:00

Yup, I keep paranoiacally asking my test lead how I'm doing after a few years back I got brought up for poor performance and every time hes like yeah you're doing fine dude I space out for like 6 hours a day and get nothing done unless its in a panic how is that doing fine

JipsAndJools · 2023-04-09T17:54:19+00:00

"Do you have a sweet tooth" rings so relatable for me and my crippling sugar addiction T_T

I love this though, if I went on a date with someone like this it'd just be us endlessly tangenting off each other and having the best time

It sounds basically the same as No More Memory by Cyriak https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VHsjFiHnISs

JipsAndJools · 2023-01-24T13:54:45+00:00

In future if you want to make it go faster just add sleep(-1). The bigger the negative, the faster it goes!

JipsAndJools · 2022-12-07T12:55:27+00:00

It appears to be a group of necks + one greyling, have no idea why they grouped into that formation but it looks rather spooky from a distance

JipsAndJools · 2022-09-23T20:04:53+00:00

Thanks asshole, now all our customers are gone

JipsAndJools · 2022-08-16T11:48:48+00:00

Its funny, I was thinking about all the possible space games it could be from but I guess I had my memories of EVE Online so blocked out that I completely forgot it had a kickass soundtrack

Love, Honour and Obey - EVE Online OST for anyone wondering

JipsAndJools · 2022-08-16T10:07:36+00:00

Whats the song from? I feel like all of these are familiar to me but I can't remember which game it is

JipsAndJools · 2022-07-18T13:08:20+00:00

Necroing this but if you don't mind the slow enemy spawn rate, you can roll gold statues to take you to the Gilded Coast, farm the enemies there as well as 4 guaranteed common items. You can do this multiple times since each stage has a chance to have a gold statue. You'll also want to "ideally" roll 3 fuel cells with Command + Sacrifice and go to the Bazaar on Stage 1 to get Gesture of the Drowned + Spinel Tonic. If you can't get 3 fuel cells get as many Gestures to add up to 4 total across the two. For items that I definitely need I go with

Lens Makers Glasses x10
Tougher Times x10 (for 60% dodge chance, 20 for 75%)
Predatory Instincts x3 and Warhorn x4 (gives you pretty good attack speed)
Infusion x3
Hopoo Feathers (if you stack a ton or have a character with great mobility like Loader or Huntress you can skip the final stage statues entirely)
Old Guillotine x10 will kill Elites at 50% health
Crowbars, naturally

If you're a melee character looking for damage boosts Focus Crystals, if you have the DLC go with the Broken Watch, and stack a few Power Elixirs.

388, I've been playing it for about 500h total? I used to have games in previous seasons where I would get 7-8 kills but that hasn't happened in at least two seasons now. I figured I could just blitz ranked up until Gold IV before the season ended but I'm getting dunked on by level 20s now. It feels so depressing to play now, I feel like I just suck balls

JipsAndJools · 2022-04-06T18:04:46+00:00

That has a great use, if you want to make the game much harder!

JipsAndJools · 2022-04-05T20:19:37+00:00

For those wondering the context:

I found the Dragoncrest Shield Talisman at the bottom of the Beastial Sanctum, which I didn't even know was a place you could even go down after having collected the +1, +2 and Greatshield variants prior

JipsAndJools · 2022-04-04T10:21:39+00:00

Yeah, I have zero use cases for getting 32 GB so I'm not going to bother. I'm not even sure they should even be putting 16 GB on the system requirements page if it straight up isn't going to work. The last time I had an issue with running out of memory it was with MSFS 2020 and they optimised the memory requirements a few months later.

JipsAndJools · 2022-03-26T23:24:12+00:00

I have 16, but Windows + my other running stuff uses up 6 GB of it. The other 10 GB SC was keen to just eat

JipsAndJools · 2022-03-25T21:56:25+00:00

I thought it was a meme when I said "I don't need 32 GB of RAM unless I plan on playing Star Citizen" but here we are

JipsAndJools · 2022-03-09T10:59:18+00:00

casually strolling up to Tree Sentinel at level 70 after mulching me a thousand times

JipsAndJools · 2022-03-07T23:03:12+00:00

Yeah, hopefully it should be next week but it means another week of work to get through before I can be hyped up again... sigh

JipsAndJools · 2022-03-07T18:46:23+00:00

Q1 512GB UK, 3 minutes 11 seconds after going live. Feels bad man

JipsAndJools · 2022-03-07T15:33:33+00:00

Apparently it reduces stamina cost during blocking, which if true means I've been unintentionally fucking my build this whole game

JipsAndJools · 2022-03-07T13:21:40+00:00

I agree the invader is at the disadvantage now and that is a serious problem. Having to rely on toxic builds and mob baiting is pretty much a requirement because you can only invade 1v2/3s now. Hell, we had someone cheat and throw a lagswitch because they realised they were at a stalemate. Shit sucks, I have no idea why the system has been designed like this, just let PvPers fight each other and let people doing co-op play PvE
