Good luck!

Ixroid sent Grappling Hook to WWeganought (Sector 2 (TRO) -- Zazabi Speedway -- Lower Item)

#

I'm so bad at speed boost tricks

weary lagoon Jul 29, 2025, 8:39 PM

#

so thats where it was

#

i was thinking it was an insanely late grappling hook

fresh hill Jul 29, 2025, 8:40 PM

#

to be fair, this was out of logic even the last time I did play Ixroid; this is my first session with the speed booster

midnight depot Jul 29, 2025, 8:40 PM

#

How do you feel about the game?

weary lagoon Jul 29, 2025, 8:40 PM

#

vroom vroom

fresh hill Jul 29, 2025, 8:41 PM

#

as in, Fusion in general? or the quality of the rando?

#

not sure I can fairly judge either given how this month went

midnight depot Jul 29, 2025, 8:44 PM

#

The former

fresh hill Jul 29, 2025, 8:46 PM

#

oh Bottle is only useful in SMZ3

fresh hill Jul 29, 2025, 8:48 PM

#

midnight depot The former

so this is tricky because Metroid Fusion and Zero Mission were basically my introduction to not just this series but the entire metroidvania genre; Fusion in particular I probably played dozens of times over as a teenager back when I carried my GBA everywhere with me, which has only ever happened with a single digit number of games in my life

#

it's tempting to try and judge it by the standards of later metroidvanias but, aside from the cold take that "yes of course Dread is slightly better in several ways", most of what comes to mind is all the stuff specific to Metroid that hardly any other metroidvanias do any more ppenk

#

Ixroid sent Item - Dog Bone to Flitter (Sector 2 (TRO) -- Level 1 Security Room)

#

sector 2 fully cleared

#

I just realized I have every progression item except Varia Suit, which is in Ixfox blocked on a fuse I think

#

ok today it's in logic for Ixfox

#

feels weird setting a hint to priority just for myself, but since you can't filter found hints it's kinda important

#

so by Fusion logic, I should be able to full clear Sector 4, and almost Sectors 1 and 5, but the exceptions in 1 and 5 feel like places I can probably just tank the damage now that you've all found nearly every E tank

#

so I'll try to do at least that much, then see if I feel like Tunic

fresh hill Jul 29, 2025, 9:22 PM

#

Ixroid sent Nightmare Key (Bottle Grotto) to Dessy-LADX (Sector 4 (AQA) -- Reservoir Vault -- Lower Item)

#

Ixroid sent Small Key (Stone Tower) to Dessy-MM (Sector 4 (AQA) -- Broken Bridge)

#

Sector 4 cleared

#

Ixroid sent Small Key (Snowhead) to Dessy-MM (Sector 5 (ARC) -- Flooded Airlock to Sector 4 (AQA))

fresh hill Jul 29, 2025, 9:40 PM

#

fresh hill so by Fusion logic, I should be able to full clear Sector 4, and _almost_ Sector...

theory confirmed, barely abflat

#

Ixroid sent SmMapWreckedShip to Dessy-SMZ3 (Sector 5 (ARC) -- Security Shaft East)
Ixroid sent DkMatter to LlisandurFF4 (Sector 5 (ARC) -- E-Tank Mimic Den)

#

strangely, the locations I can't tank my way into are in logic izzywhat

#

but that's all of Sector 5 I can figure out how to do

fresh hill Jul 29, 2025, 10:22 PM

#

Main Deck clear

also beat the game why not

That is literally the most important item in WW

#

Well, behind the sail and the wind waker itself, but you always start with those, kinda have to to actually play lol

fresh hill Jul 29, 2025, 10:50 PM

yeah I'm thinking I'm done after Sector 1 is cleared

which means this loser is my last location

and we're done

you know that last screenshot i think i've done that before in smash brothers

might just leave the slot there

modern ivy Jul 29, 2025, 10:54 PM

#

you winning is a faithful reenactment imo

fresh hill Jul 29, 2025, 10:54 PM

#

admittedly this is one of the weaker Ridley fights in the series; unlike most of Fusion's bosses it's kinda impossible to dodge him consistently so it quickly turns into a raw missile ammo + DPS check

modern ivy Jul 30, 2025, 1:05 AM

#

i do like it better when it's feasible to dodge

#

also we were talking about super mario sunshine rando earlier and it looks like someone just made a rando for a romhack version of it today

#

that sounds wild and probably very hard lol

We're at like nine games done from completion

fresh hill Jul 30, 2025, 9:57 PM

#

so Cane of Byrna is "Avoid"; does that mean don't pick it up too early, or don't pick it up ever?

#

separately, Flitter needs Seal of Fuxi to finish 9S, which is in my Frog's Domain, which I can't get to without:
[Hint]: Ixfox's Ladders to Frog's Domain is at Corona Mountain - Front Right Lava Blue Coin in ArtiSMS's World. (priority)
everything else in Ixfox is in logic now

fresh hill Jul 30, 2025, 10:18 PM

Ixfox sent Item - Ice Puzzle Key to Emerassi (Quarry - [Central] Below Entry Walkway)
oh hey there's more for you too

modern ivy Jul 30, 2025, 10:24 PM

#

cold valve Jul 30, 2025, 10:24 PM

#

fresh hill so Cane of Byrna is "Avoid"; does that mean don't pick it up too early, or don't...

I think that just means it's not critical or helpful, so don't go out of your way, but it won't hurt to get it

modern ivy Jul 30, 2025, 10:24 PM

#

#

and that's goal!

cold valve Jul 30, 2025, 10:25 PM

AP's native hint priority categories are not as helpful as they could be

fresh hill Jul 30, 2025, 10:26 PM

#

tbf, what wouldn't have this ambiguity?

cold valve Jul 30, 2025, 10:26 PM

#

Well, cheese tracker has better ones

fresh hill Jul 30, 2025, 10:27 PM

#

(back when these were being designed in the AP dev channels, I'm pretty sure "avoid" was intended for items that did hurt to get, either in the usual sense of traps or even just progression that was so powerful you didn't want it early)

cold valve Jul 30, 2025, 10:27 PM

#

Ah i guess that's a thing too

#

But like, there's no "i don't care about this" option

modern ivy Jul 30, 2025, 10:28 PM

cold valve Well, cheese tracker has better ones

these things?

I like these better than the AP ones

fresh hill Jul 30, 2025, 10:28 PM

#

cold valve But like, there's no "i don't care about this" option

I believe "No Priority" is the don't care option

#

I guess cheese is missing an Avoid, and splits Priority into 3 different levels?

cold valve Jul 30, 2025, 10:29 PM

#

AP needs an "unset" or "unknown" option as the default

fresh hill Jul 30, 2025, 10:29 PM

#

actually AP has "Unspecified" as the default for auto-generated hints

#

Priority is the default for human-generated hints

cold valve Jul 30, 2025, 10:30 PM

#

Hm

modern ivy Jul 30, 2025, 10:30 PM

fresh hill Jul 30, 2025, 10:30 PM

my hint page has tons of both

#

modern ivy Jul 30, 2025, 10:30 PM

#

my biggest problem with the hint priorities is that you have to set them on that page

#

that page with NO FILTERS

cold valve Jul 30, 2025, 10:30 PM

#

Yeah

modern ivy Jul 30, 2025, 10:30 PM

#

its very annoying to use once you have more than like 5 hints in the rando

fresh hill Jul 30, 2025, 10:30 PM

#

yeah, it's a big improvement over not having a hint tab at all, but it has always badly needed a way to filter out Found hints

modern ivy Jul 30, 2025, 10:31 PM

#

absolutely

weary lagoon Jul 30, 2025, 10:31 PM

#

corona mountain is the final area

i need 90 shine sprites!!!

fresh hill Jul 30, 2025, 10:31 PM

which everyone has been saying forever since long before even sorting was a thing

modern ivy Jul 30, 2025, 10:31 PM

#

you might have it now i just finished

fresh hill Jul 30, 2025, 10:31 PM

#

oh also the "In Logic" column can't do sorting because the interface between core and UT is not designed for that lol

modern ivy Jul 30, 2025, 10:31 PM

#

i'm not clear what all items just came out but i checked the hinted stuff

cold valve Jul 30, 2025, 10:32 PM

#

Anyway i like "I'm waiting on this", "this is progress", "nice to have", "don't care" and/or "junk", and "don't get if you have a choice"

modern ivy Jul 30, 2025, 10:32 PM

#

those are more immediately understandable to me

fresh hill Jul 30, 2025, 10:32 PM

#

fwiw, if anyone wanted to contribute to core AP, hint filtering is probably one of the few features that someone could "just" show up and do if they really wanted to (hint priorities were like that)

modern ivy Jul 30, 2025, 10:33 PM

#

i'd have to figure out kivy ui then

#

might be worth it anyway though lol

cold valve Jul 30, 2025, 10:33 PM

#

cold valve Anyway i like "I'm waiting on this", "this is progress", "nice to have", "don't ...

This is purely for an async though, in a sync game ain't nobody got time fo dat

yeah, and the more statuses you add the more ambiguity problems arise

cold valve Anyway i like "I'm waiting on this", "this is progress", "nice to have", "don't ...

This seems pretty unambiguous to me

fresh hill Jul 30, 2025, 10:35 PM

#

a big talking point when these were added was that many games deliberately choose not to auto-hint because the vanilla AP interfaces were so bad at handling lots of hints, and a manual distinction between which hints do and don't matter was considered the main solution to that

modern ivy Jul 30, 2025, 10:35 PM

#

some of them do seem like they'd double up a little i guess

fresh hill Jul 30, 2025, 10:36 PM

#

I think another factor is that the item being hinted already has fillter/useful/progression information, so a lot of those varying degrees of priority are already implied (imperfectly but still)

cold valve Jul 30, 2025, 10:36 PM

#

Yeah but ladx calls rupees progression

fresh hill Jul 30, 2025, 10:36 PM

#

I do think there'd be significant value in an "I'm blocked" status, not just that I really want the thing but my slot is unplayable until I get this

midnight depot Jul 30, 2025, 10:36 PM

Flitter

cold valve Jul 30, 2025, 10:36 PM

#

Flitter

fresh hill Jul 30, 2025, 10:36 PM

#

I wonder if ladx will mark rupees deprioritized now that that's a flag rdsnrk

cold valve Jul 30, 2025, 10:37 PM

#

Technically rupees are progression because you have to buy a couple things

weary lagoon Jul 30, 2025, 10:37 PM

#

i use critical for items im blocked on in cheese

cold valve Jul 30, 2025, 10:38 PM

#

But i just don't want people pinging me over 20 rupees

fresh hill Jul 30, 2025, 10:38 PM

#

oh well, I'm always on the side of fewer, more objective categories when design issues like this show up

cold valve Jul 30, 2025, 10:38 PM

#

I agree that early on, "I'm waiting on this" and "this is progression" are largely the same, but later on they take on different usages

fresh hill Jul 30, 2025, 10:38 PM

#

honestly cheese has so much going on I still haven't figured out how to make it useful for me; all the features I actually want seem to already be in the core tools and UT

weary lagoon Jul 30, 2025, 10:39 PM

#

I update it to show people that Im BKed as fkkk

cold valve Jul 30, 2025, 10:39 PM

#

I think a lot of it comes down to how a particular group uses them

#

I rarely am NOT BKd so i use it for items that will un-BK me usually

#

But my games are by nature usually pretty well spread out over the course of the playthrough

#

Usually

#

This month was weird

fresh hill Jul 30, 2025, 10:47 PM

#

@dawn wigeon Ixfox sent Varia to Dessy-SMZ3 (Rooted Ziggurat Lower - Spider Ambush)

#

and that's Ziggurat done except for the "Avoid" boss

#

let's finish the slot now

modern ivy Jul 30, 2025, 10:55 PM

grats!

fresh hill Jul 30, 2025, 11:01 PM

#

as far as I know, the only important items left in my slots are FlitterNS's Seal of Fuxi and maybe AFalcon's Cane of Byrna

#

the latter I can get whenever if it's actually good while the former is waiting on ArtiSMS to find my ladders

oh FlitterNS is at 100% without goal, did that get !released?

midnight depot `[Hint]: Flitter's Item - Progressive Luxury Pass is at Ikana Well Rightside Tor...

This requires [Hint]: Dessy-MM's Gibdo Mask is at Moon Goron Trial HP in Dessy-MM's World. (priority) which means I need Dessy-MM's Elegy of Emptiness is at Spawning Meadows Shop - Nans Knick Knacks 2 in Flitter's World. (priority) first

#

It also means I will just release it to you when I beat the game as by the time I get to the moon it will just be faster to win than to get that HP, go back to Ikana, and go through all the gibdos

dawn wigeon Jul 31, 2025, 4:00 AM

Dessy-MM sent Job - Wizard to Flitter (Stock Pot Inn Anju and Kafei)
Dessy-MM sent Item - Progressive Luxury Pass to Flitter (Ikana Well Rightside Torch Chest)

weary lagoon Jul 31, 2025, 6:28 AM

#

Not everyone releases as soon as they are goaled 😅

#

Flitter might have intended to play more, just keep in mind

midnight depot Jul 31, 2025, 8:29 AM

#

That's true!

#

I meant to play until I get every relevant item

#

I did, however, permit everyone to do !getitem in case they think it's important and I'm not available at the time to fix things

midnight depot Jul 31, 2025, 12:53 PM

#

Hi. Let's play Crystal Project

#

I have all crabs, ancient labyrinth, luxury shop 2, final depths boss

#

Flitter sent Item - Progressive Level to Emerassi (Capital Sequoia Shop - Upgraded Luxury Shop Heavy Armor 3)
Flitter sent KeyTR to Dessy-SMZ3 (Capital Sequoia Shop - Upgraded Luxury Shop Medium Armor 1)
Flitter found their Item - Tram Key (Capital Sequoia Shop - Upgraded Luxury Shop Magic Weapons 3)
Flitter sent WT Big Key to WWeganought (Capital Sequoia Shop - Upgraded Luxury Shop Exotic Weapons 1)
Flitter found their Job - Valkyrie (Capital Sequoia Shop - Upgraded Luxury Shop Exotic Weapons 4)
Flitter sent Item - Quintar Sanctum Pass to Emerassi (Capital Sequoia Shop - Upgraded Luxury Shop Martial Weapons 6)
Flitter sent Item - Capital Pipeline Pass to Emerassi (Capital Sequoia Shop - Upgraded Luxury Shop Martial Weapons 3)

#

Flitter sent Item - Clamshell to Emerassi (The Deep Sea NPC - Crab people crab people)

#

The gall of this fucking game

#

Flitter found their Item - Spawning Meadows Pass (The Depths Region Completion)

#

My spawning meadows was locked behind the deepest endgame chain

#

Flitter sent Item - Salmon Bay Pass to Emerassi (Spawning Meadows Chest - Above waterfall)

#

Yeah, lots of Dessy's progression items were in Spawning Meadows, and they're now all irrelevant

#

Last thing to do is the labyrinth

midnight depot Jul 31, 2025, 2:07 PM

#

There. 100% of checks

#

That was 21 hours 42 minutes

#

All I need now is Nine Sols

#

FlitterNS's Seal of Jiequan is at X-Naut Fortress Crane Room: Coin 4 in ArtiTTYD's World. ([u]priority[/u])
FlitterNS's Seal of Fuxi is at Frog's Domain - Main Room Pot 1 in Ixfox's World. ([u]priority[/u])

fresh hill Jul 31, 2025, 2:10 PM

#

fresh hill separately, Flitter needs Seal of Fuxi to finish 9S, which is in my Frog's Domai...

midnight depot Jul 31, 2025, 2:11 PM

#

Save us, Artiks!

weary lagoon Jul 31, 2025, 2:21 PM

#

what about the ixroid key card

midnight depot Jul 31, 2025, 2:22 PM

#

That's a different game

fresh hill Jul 31, 2025, 2:23 PM

#

I'm not aware of any valuable items left in Ixroid

weary lagoon Jul 31, 2025, 2:23 PM

#

ive talked about it so many times

#

twice!!

fresh hill Jul 31, 2025, 2:24 PM

#

oh you mean your card key in ixroid

#

ok, that's still out of logic

weary lagoon Jul 31, 2025, 2:25 PM

#

what does it need

fresh hill Jul 31, 2025, 2:26 PM

#

I don't know

#

guess we're booting up this slot again

weary lagoon Jul 31, 2025, 2:26 PM

#

its my last item for go mode

#

but i gotta go run now so ill finish up later this evening

fresh hill Jul 31, 2025, 2:35 PM

#

...getting back to the main elevator hub took way longer than expected

midnight depot Jul 31, 2025, 2:35 PM

#

Thank god for fast forward

fresh hill Jul 31, 2025, 2:36 PM

#

oh it's not a cutscene thing, I ended last session in the most awkward corner of the map where one-way transitions force me to take a convoluted route back to the main area

midnight depot Jul 31, 2025, 2:36 PM

#

I fast forward any slow gameplay, cutscenes or not

fresh hill Jul 31, 2025, 2:37 PM

#

there wasn't really any fast-forwardable gameplay along the route either, most of that time was spent figuring out the route itself

#

(to be clear this is mostly a good thing)

#

ok now it all makes sense

#

this room is on the way to Artiks' card key

#

Varia Suit is the only item I'm missing, and after the logic issues I reported last session, I'm pretty sure Fusion's cold resistance is tied to Varia Suit

midnight depot Jul 31, 2025, 2:40 PM

#

Huge axiom verge vibes

fresh hill Jul 31, 2025, 2:40 PM

#

but at this point I can just tank it

#

I am so bad at speed booster puzzles

tender pelican Jul 31, 2025, 2:45 PM

#

I should try fusion zero mission randos. And yeah, fusion ties cold resist to varia.

fresh hill Jul 31, 2025, 2:45 PM

#

almost rdwut

#

yeah I think I have to look this one up

#

huh, I could've sworn jumping ends the boost

dawn wigeon Jul 31, 2025, 2:50 PM

#

Nah boosts are different in the GBA ones, it lets them make the shinespark puzzles especially annoying

fresh hill Jul 31, 2025, 2:51 PM

#

@weary lagoon Ixroid sent Card Key 3 to ArtiTTYD (Sector 6 (NOC) -- Spaceboost Alley -- Lower Item)

#

granted I originally played these when online walkthroughs weren't pervasive yet so there was no good way to look up how any game's speed boost actually worked

dawn wigeon Jul 31, 2025, 2:52 PM

#

I still haven't replayed Fusion since 2002

#

I liked Zero Mission a lot better. Fusion is a fine game, but it's a terrible Metroid game

fresh hill Jul 31, 2025, 2:53 PM

#

wow

#

I always liked both

dawn wigeon Jul 31, 2025, 2:53 PM

#

I will play it again at some point, but it's a very linear experience, at least in vanilla.

#

Probably makes for a good randomizer

fresh hill Jul 31, 2025, 2:54 PM

#

yeah

#

I've never cared that strongly about how linear a metroidvania is, as long as it doesn't mislead about that (e.g. some Castlevanias heavily imply they're more freeform then turn out to be painfully cryptically linear)

#

anyway made it to a save room so we're probably done with that slot for real this time

#

it never bothered me in Fusion since Fusion's quite upfront about what the goal is and never implies there are alternate routes to take

#

Nine Sols is another interesting example since it has linear parts, and basically tells you whether you're in a linear part or whether you actually have multiple objectives now

weary lagoon Jul 31, 2025, 6:52 PM

I have 90 shine sprites!!!!

#

Bwaahahaha! The water is great ey junior??!!

weary lagoon Jul 31, 2025, 7:03 PM

#

its bowsers iconic line

#

the one time they were brave enough to voice act Bowser

#

ArtiSMS (Team #1) has completed their goal.

#

ArtiSMS sent Ladders to Frog's Domain to Ixfox (Corona Mountain - Front Right Lava Blue Coin)

midnight depot Jul 31, 2025, 7:04 PM

#

Oh, well you had missing punctuation so no way I could've guessed

#

Nice work!

weary lagoon Jul 31, 2025, 7:05 PM

#

that was the only relevant item left

#

looks like its just our two games left

#

Seems like TTYD by design just ends up in this end game slog where everyone else is done but I still have to play for 3 hours to finish

@midnight depot Ixfox sent Seal of Fuxi to FlitterNS (Frog's Domain - Main Room Pot 1)
naturally the in-game messages put the filler item first

midnight depot Jul 31, 2025, 7:26 PM

#

Thanks!

#

I have electricity and internet back so I'll finish up my game

#

r2modman sucks to use

#

I just want the game to start up. I don't want to start the mod launcher, start a profile, select between vanilla and modded, and only then start playing

fresh hill Jul 31, 2025, 7:27 PM

#

yeah, coming from the OW mod manager, r2modman's UX is baffling; it could just not do a few things and be 10x better

it's been going for over 5 hours already lol

Remember to make it smaller by converting it to RVZ. Dolphin can do that. It's lossless and reversible and doesn't impact performance

#

Hi

#

Let's set up my games for next month, three days from now

midnight depot Aug 2, 2025, 12:20 PM

#

All right, that's all three games installed. Let's configure them

#

For Ape Escape, the tokens feature was useless. I'm going to cut it out, and make each world key unlock a world instead of just a level. Additionally, I'm going to start with the radar instead of hinting it, since I always got it too late for it to be convenient. For water net, I'm going to experiment with making it one item instead of two progressive items.

#

For Axiom Verge, it looks like there's a lot of tricks I don't know. I used to speedrun the vanilla randomizer, but I'm going to leave all the tricks off for now.

#

For Crystal Project, I'm going to start with one job instead of six. I'm going to REMOVE shopsanity because I want to be able to stock up on four copies of accessories or get more consumables. I'm going to make it so mounts are split into their own chains. I'm going to keep the level caps for now because it's a good way to discourage me from grinding too early. I'm going to make sure there aren't too many cap increases by setting it to 10 levels each. For keys I'm experimenting with just having skeleton key and no other keys ever. I'm going to disable progressive equipment because I believe there's no such thing and even early game equipment has late game utility. I'm turning off summon shuffle because I don't want duplicates.

#

That's all for config. Let's test

#

Emerassi is playing Jigsaw and Super Mario Sunshine, so I'll use this apworld https://github.com/spineraks-org/ArchipelagoJigsaw/releases/tag/v0.8.0 and this apworld https://github.com/Joshark/archipelago-sms/releases/tag/0.4.3-alpha

#

Finally, I'm going to update archipelago itself to 0.6.2

#

Let's generate and see if it works

midnight depot Aug 2, 2025, 1:08 PM

#

Everything works fine

#

I have six games so far. Is anyone joining this month?

tender pelican Aug 2, 2025, 3:32 PM

#

I'm going to see if I can get Dark Souls 1 to work. Otherwise I'll be doing at least FF1, FF4, and FF6.

tender pelican Aug 3, 2025, 5:02 AM

#

Should I switch to Archipelago 0.6.2?

midnight depot Aug 3, 2025, 9:37 AM

#

Yes? I'm not sure if you absolutely have to but you should

midnight depot Aug 3, 2025, 10:16 AM

#

Axiom Verge updated the very next day

fresh hill Aug 3, 2025, 12:45 PM

#

how much it matters will always depend on the game

#

in this case it comes with an new UI that's probably worth getting used to before something forces the issue

tender pelican Aug 3, 2025, 6:36 PM

#

Welp, DS1 doesn't work in linux. the game does, but the UI of the AP executable for it doesn't.

#

Gotta wait I guess.

fresh hill Aug 3, 2025, 6:42 PM

#

huh, I've always been told the core AP tools work fine on Linux and it's the game clients that would have issues

tender pelican Aug 3, 2025, 6:42 PM

#

Yeah, they do. It's just the secondary executable that injects into DS1 that doesn't work.

fresh hill Aug 3, 2025, 6:43 PM

#

...oh, yeah, that makes sense

rare oxide Aug 3, 2025, 6:55 PM

#

Thank you!

tender pelican Aug 4, 2025, 1:40 AM

#

FF1, FF4, FF6, and Metroid Fusion since I couldn't get DS1 to work. I included the Metroid apworld just in case, but I think it's the same as Ixrec used last month.

tender pelican Aug 4, 2025, 6:36 PM

#

FF1 is already set up. Should be FF4.

#

And FF6 I think.

midnight depot Aug 4, 2025, 6:37 PM

#

FF4 patch is downloadable from the game now. Same for FF6

tender pelican Aug 4, 2025, 6:37 PM

Neat.

#

Let me know if anything went wrong!

#

Let's play Axiom Verge

fresh hill Aug 4, 2025, 6:47 PM

#

damn that is a tiny game compared to our last few

#

I feel better that it's not just me who isn't up for august

midnight depot Aug 4, 2025, 6:48 PM

#

Thirteen games is still no slouch

#

Archipelago needs a core feature that easily tells Axiom verge there's no other axiom verge in this room so I don't have to type "FlitterAV"

#

All 1 accessible locations have been checked! Congrats!

#

Crystal Project next

#

My starting job for Crystal Project is Valkyrie

#

Not bad

#

My starting region is soiled den

#

Flitter CryPro sent Item - Progressive Mount Instrument to EmerassiCP (Soiled Den Chest - Riverside)
Flitter CryPro sent Item - Gaea Stone to EmerassiCP (Soiled Den NPC - Dog Bone among the bones and flowers)

#

Let's wrap today up with Ape Escape

#

Ape Escape is so nice compared to Ocarina of Time

#

No patching or anything

#

Just update the apworld and connect through the generic bizhawk connector

#

All the changes are done by memory editing

i'm not sure what region was your starting region in this seed, but we treat the one you got your first region pass for as the starting region

#

and thanks for the passes, gonna take a look see through my Crystal Project

#

for the sara sara beach east stuff, if you can reach it using owl from nearby it should probably be in logic, that sounds like something we should do another pass on, if it required a fly all the way from yamagawa i'd probably leave it out of logic just to prevent an inexperience player from having to guess that

i suspect it's the former in this case

Hey everyone, I’m really sorry about the lack of activity this month. I screwed up my settings for ff4 which kinda made the whole thing way harder, so I decided to set it aside for a while and let some items pile up to help a little. Then I got very involved with some projects and school, which pushed back my gaming somewhat. Then, right as I was about to pick things up again I got very sick which took me out for a week.

Again, I’m really sorry about holding everything up. I’ll try to get this stuff bashed out as fast as I can. -_-

Hm, may need charge beam.
[Hint]: LlisandurM4's Charge Beam is at Eribu - Wheelchair Room in FlitterAV's World. (priority)

midnight depot Aug 26, 2025, 10:21 PM

I can get this with the ability to swap places with my drone

#

I should have it. I'd get it right now but I'm very sleepy

#

Yup, can't hurt SA-X without the charge beam. XD

#

Ok, whenever you get that I can beat it.

MMX done!

Hi

#

Let's play Axiom Verge

#

Thank you for address bomb, passcode tool, red coat (!), drone teleport, axiom disruptor, voranj, kilver, sudran key, and various upgrades

#

The game is finally fun to navigate

#

FlitterAV sent Charge Beam to LlisandurM4 (Eribu - Wheelchair Room)

#

Axiom Verge has an infinite height bug where you can combine a drill with drone launch and drone teleport to gain height, but it's annoying to do because it requires precise timing and you can't mash for it

rare oxide Aug 27, 2025, 6:20 PM

Alright, mmx2 complete!

It's a lot more fun in solo randomizer than it is in multiworld

rare oxide Aug 27, 2025, 10:26 PM

#

Yeah I'm gonna have to drop mega man until I get my controller fixed. Playing without the back paddles is hell.

midnight depot Aug 27, 2025, 10:28 PM

#

Oh, what do you normally use the back paddles for?

rare oxide Aug 28, 2025, 3:59 AM

#

Dashing.

#

Makes it real easy to do dash jumps. Without it I have to claw my hand which hurt after a while. On snes I used rb but it's a little akward on an xbox controller

Thank you for joining me in the Manechat Archipelago game for August 2025. This month we've had 13 games, 29 spheres, and 4941 locations. The players in the playthrough file, listed from last to first receiving an item, are @tender pelican with FF1, @rare oxide with MMX2, @modern ivy with Crystal Project, then with Super Mario Sunshine, me with Ape Escape and Crystal Project, Llisandur with FF4 and FF6, Ryan with MMX, Llisandur with Metroid fusion, Ryan with FF4, Emerassi with Jigsaw, and my Axiom Verge was the earliest in sphere 7. (Drone teleport was indeed the last check I needed)
Included are the game log, spoiler log, yaml files and output files. The game link was at https://archipelago.gg/room/1rBi5lNKTFKlbpHPGMSSbg

Hello, @here! I'm starting another Manechat Asynchronous Archipelago Game, with the intent of running until the **the end of September 2025 **. If you're interested, please read the list of available games https://archipelago.gg/games and pick one or more games to run (or browse the archipelago discord server for unsupported games!), then ping me so I can keep track of you and help you out with any problems. Let's try to make sure that you like the game you picked and can complete it by the end of the month!
The game will start Tuesday, September 2nd or whenever everyone interested is ready.

In order to join, I will need the YAML files for whatever games you want to play. Please make sure you only join with a manageable workload, and the ability to play at least a little every four or so days.

#

For next month Ape Escape actually has a full door randomizer in the works. I hope it'll be ready to try out in time

#

"carry over" between what exactly?

midnight depot Aug 30, 2025, 7:10 PM

Looks like the level geometry and graphics were changed properly but things like monkeys still acted as if the level was not shuffled

fresh hill Aug 30, 2025, 7:11 PM

#

wow, that sounds like something that should've become clear in testing right away

midnight depot Aug 30, 2025, 7:12 PM

#

The way the game is modded, it's done entirely via memory editing, so it may have worked in testing due to the specific setup

#

Either way, I'm going to stick with the version that lacks the new feature for this month

#

For now I'm going to test the yamls and apworlds everyone gave me. For jigsaw I'll use the 0.8.0 apworld. Let me know if you want a different one. 0.9.0 for Crystal project.

#

For ff4 I'm going to stick with the same apworld

#

Yep, generates fine

I'm waiting on YAMLs from Dr. Romulus, Llisandur and Chip if they're joining, and also my own

(instead of directly starting you in a random room, they start you in the normal first room then warp you. This makes it so everything works, at the cost of a janky-looking double loading screen)

#

midnight depot Do you think they'll release a Silksong archipelago before Silksong is out

^ actual question I saw on the archipelago discord server

fresh hill Aug 31, 2025, 6:24 PM

#

oh my response was serious too

#

someone made a Silksong thread super early so I've been watching that to see comments from e.g. the HK AP maintainers, and they've basically said we need to wait for the game to come out before we can even give estimates; atm no one's even sure if this is Unity or not, if it is Unity does it use IL2CPP, etc

modern ivy Aug 31, 2025, 6:36 PM

#

yeah neither the mod side or the apworld side could be done without access to the game so it would require the game devs to do it themselves to have it available on release

fresh hill Aug 31, 2025, 6:37 PM

#

it's also, frankly, a terrible idea to start developing a mod as complex as a randomizer extremely close to release, just because the devs are likely to patch things that affect your mod code and/or your rando logic (especially if you want glitches and speed tech to be in logic)

modern ivy Aug 31, 2025, 6:37 PM

#

oh yeah for sure

fresh hill Aug 31, 2025, 6:38 PM

#

even my OW rando has been broken by both of the patches that came out after the rando did, despite the rando coming multiple years after release, and those being tiny bugfix patches

modern ivy Aug 31, 2025, 6:38 PM

#

this is one of the benefits of not using bepin/etc

#

we literally change the client to be exactly what what we want so we're immune to future patches

fresh hill Aug 31, 2025, 6:39 PM

#

you mean... automated downpatching?

modern ivy Aug 31, 2025, 6:40 PM

#

yeah we just use bsdiff so we could change notepad.exe into the file we wanted if we felt like it

fresh hill Aug 31, 2025, 6:40 PM

#

ah ok

#

(well that particular diff would presumably involve "distributing copyrighted material", but yeah I get the idea)

modern ivy Aug 31, 2025, 6:41 PM

#

it probably would but i really wouldn't care

fresh hill Aug 31, 2025, 6:41 PM

#

I don't think that has anything to do with bepinex per se

modern ivy Aug 31, 2025, 6:41 PM

#

yeah i just mean that sortof thing is a layer on top of the base game

fresh hill Aug 31, 2025, 6:41 PM

#

at least with OW and 9S, my mod is trying to coexist with the rest of the modding community to some extent, and broadly speaking everyone targets the latest patch (possibly more patches, but rarely only an older patch), so even if I wanted to do automated downpatching it wouldn't be an option in practice

modern ivy Aug 31, 2025, 6:41 PM

#

which could change on you

#

yeah that makes sense

#

that's our big loss from not being on latest version of crypro either

fresh hill Aug 31, 2025, 6:42 PM

#

plus one of those breaking OW changes broke all of the mods because a piece of mod infra happened to depend on something that everyone agrees in retrospect it should not have

#

talk about how mobius SABOTAGED the modding community by removing the load-bearing menu button in one of their patches

#

that's pretty funny

fresh hill Aug 31, 2025, 6:43 PM

#

it was so funny

#

partly because the mod infra people are active enough it got fixed in ~2 days

#

This version has a feature where I can get rid of useless filler items and keep things at least useful

#

Default distribution:

   25 Energy Chips: 4
    3 Explosive Pellets: 3
    3 Guided Pellets: 3
    5 Cookies: 3
    5 Energy Chips: 14

    Energy Chip: 31
    Explosive Pellet: 9
    Guided Pellet: 9
    Jacket: 7
    Nothing: 0
    Rainbow Cookie: 6```

#

I'm going to remove Energy Chip, 5 Energy Chips, 25 Energy Chips, Rainbow Cookie, Cookie, Explosive Pellet, Guided Pellet, and distribute their removed weight across all of the other results.

#

Maybe something like this:

    25 Energy Chips: 0
    3 Explosive Pellets: 12
    3 Guided Pellets: 12
    5 Cookies: 19
    5 Energy Chips: 0
