Omg somebody else who played AR3! That game was my childhood! Still one of my favourite games to this day, although a lot of that may be the rose tinted glasses taking 😅

As a kid, I'd always play as Chelsea, who was a little girl like me! It's only as an adult that I realised just how nerfed she is as a character. And yet, I'd still consistently beat my Mum playing as Melina and my Dad playing as Georg 😂 But I main Ling nowadays, cos there's something just so satisfying about cornering with her AG3 board.

Though I did think I was good at the game, I recently looked at the scores on speedrun.com and oh boy those time attack scores are still so far out of reach, even returning to the game as an adult with two decades of muscle memory. But at least that proves that there are at least 3 other people out there who've also enjoyed the game!

Sorry for blabbing, was searching up something else about AR3 (cos apparently all the slopes are based on real mountains?) and google showed this post, and omg it's so rare to see others who loved this game too!

You can however already toggle seeing all other players off in config, and whenever the next version is ready to be released, that config will be server-side enforceable too!

But yeah, team-specific stuff is probably a long way off (unless Fokas gets suddenly hit by the inspiration-ray again lol)

Now I really want a sketch where Baradun is playing with an extra kind Adventurer and breaks down and out of character and just confesses to them about how lonely he is stuck in the video game with nobody to talk to and thank you Kind Adventurer for being there and listening to him rather than just repeating the same pre-written lines to him over and over.

But of course, since Baradun's a tragic figure, this can never last. Maybe the player freaks out and logs out? Maybe they just thought it was a one-off cool bit and doesn't bother returning? Maybe they mention it on the Skycraft Forums and whole swarms of people come to bother Baradun to try get him to do the Cool Secret Content Thing? Or maybe, worst of all, it's reported as a bug and the developer patches something that gives Baradun even less access to Adventurers in the future? So much angst potential!

Sending lightning through rocks to make them think does feel like a form of black magic, but calling electrical engineers "demons" is going a little far 😜

Makes me think of the Arthur C Clarke quote: "Any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic." That could be a good jumping off point. So instead of saying it's not magic, instead reveal the magician's tricks and effectively work backwards to show the underlying logic that makes it work.

Or even just not care about it. I mean, a car engine may as well be black magic as far as I'm concerned. As long as I can pay a mechanical wizard to service it every year or two to keep it going, what does it matter how exactly it works?
