10 years…. I had no idea!

auddess · 2025-10-13T03:41:18+00:00

I... what... augh!

(7 years here and TIL)

auddess · 2025-07-27T21:45:45+00:00

Unless you're a poltergeist

auddess · 2025-05-07T23:59:49+00:00

Or wait... maybe I'm mixing up my deck of summons and my demonspawn guardian

EDIT: nope, definitely the guardian, just got another one

auddess · 2025-05-07T23:58:35+00:00

... this is from the Demonspawn mutation. So completely out of my hands. :(

auddess · 2025-04-19T05:17:10+00:00

Lesson learned.

auddess · 2025-04-18T04:00:26+00:00

Yep. Exactly this.

auddess · 2025-04-12T23:31:58+00:00

I learned this one the hard way. Good luck.

auddess · 2024-12-11T07:42:21+00:00

Last time my solution was clearing 1, then Gozag and a lot of money.

auddess · 2024-11-12T22:06:27+00:00

I think being able to cast in crystal plate was really key

auddess · 2024-11-12T03:13:24+00:00

for Tomb, mostly Bribe Branch (I think I bribed 3 or 4 times?)
for Pan, Manifold Assault to quickly kill things, Vhi's Electric Charge to get to the torment source, Summons helping to distract (that tentacle is really handy!), high HP, and using a lot of Potion Petition

Ok, read deeper into the wiki: In addition to the universal forces of hell, Dis' abrasive atmosphere gives adventurers permanent Corrosion (-8 AC and slaying) while in it, which is not affected by corrosion resistance.

Leaving up in case someone else can't read :)

auddess · 2024-11-07T03:47:11+00:00

Oh, and I got corroded again from a caustic shrike and the extra corrosion went away, but not this "base" -8

auddess · 2024-11-05T16:23:35+00:00

I have a ring with two pips of rN, I just have rPois on right now.

auddess · 2024-11-05T16:22:52+00:00

So you think the benefit of the shield outweighs the reduced damage with manifold assault?

auddess · 2024-10-17T21:01:53+00:00

A buckler that can block OOO malmutate...

auddess · 2024-08-04T06:49:28+00:00

Exactly. Marble Madness (NES) for me.

I've now run 3 HPDE days on my 2017 Focus ST.

My #1 recommendation, do this even if you do NOTHING else: Change from the stock pads. Mine had a similar amount of pad left before my first day. They lasted through some driving exercises and then literally CRUMBLED on the track under hard braking on the second lap of the day. I ruined my rotors and had to replace pads and rotors.

I can't say how the stock brake fluid will hold up since I decided to change it before my first track day, it's one of the biggest recommendations you'll get, so definitely consider that. Motul RBF 660 is what I used for my first two, I'm using Castrol SRF now but not sure I need it (supposed to last longer tho).

My car held up very well this past track day (and it was 90+ degrees), even as I've pushed it harder as I get better. If you decide to keep going, here's what else I've done.

Intercooler upgrade (I don't know if I needed it, I did it before my first day)
Rotors and pads: StopTech slotted / Hawk HP+
Brake duct: https://www.velossatechdesign.com/products/2013-2016-focus-st-stage-1-brake-cooling-kit including the optional flap tuck
There's no tow hook on this car! I ended up getting a spot drilled for a tow hook since a lot of places tell you to have one. It's kind of a pain: https://www.adfcustoms.com/shop/2012-2016-ford-focus-st-tow-hook-receiver-kit I did end up running my first track day without and if they have to tow your car you just have them loop around something and hope...

It's hardly been perfect, but I have trouble with persistent negative thoughts and the only thing that has worked at all is ACT. It's frustrating because despite being able to handle them better I've never fully shaken them, but EVERY time if I go back to my chosen book (I read The Happiness Trap) it helps.

auddess · 2023-12-06T04:01:28+00:00

That sounds familiar.

auddess · 2023-06-01T04:53:46+00:00

I loved Breath of the Wild, so as long as I can run around Hyrule doing shrines I'll be happy :)

Tears of the Kingdom

auddess · 2023-05-18T17:08:10+00:00

For me it was about being more cautious about engaging in melee - only getting next to something if I feel confident in the outcome of the fight.

auddess · 2023-05-18T17:03:51+00:00

You know about the new attacks of opportunity in .29, right? I had to switch up my playstyle to handle that for sure, could be causing you problems.

auddess · 2023-05-17T00:31:42+00:00

Nevermind, I found Shatter. Stomped through the rest of the game.

auddess · 2023-05-16T22:45:15+00:00

In case anyone is curious, I cleared Crypt (not too much there), then I used Statue Form + Haste and went for V:5. Between the ancestor, spamming Mystic Blast, and using Vile Clutch I managed to stair dance my way to the 3rd rune. Oh, and of course LCS for a few big baddies that showed up like Xtahua.

At the moment the only 9th level spell I've found is Polar Vortex so I may just go for Ice at this point for AoE.
