we used to use the Courtyard Key for access rules, but recently eme told me we didn't need to do that bc you can hop on the Capital Sequoia walls easily
i've been debating making an obscure routes connection vs using the Courtyard Key; otherwise it should get demoted to non-progression
Yeah! From a design perspective, the courtyard key exists so that players who did not find the way to the mars stone are clued in to go there
ah, a little prod towards cobblestone
Because strictly speaking, the river is an optional detour
At least, that's what I recall Riverrunner said about it
ahh that makes sense
It is kind of nonobvious that you can get to the crag. It's treacherous, there's an enemy that kills you instantly, and it seems like it goes on forever
So naturally players would leave it for later but then forget about it when later comes
Even though you have like three different ways to get to it
the crag demon is pretty intimidating haha
A big flaw in the game is that you are not told that different enemy flames behave differently until the undercity
So you may not be aware that Crag Demon hunts you by vision alone
yeah agreed

Hi. Let's play Crystal Project
Got a bunch of out of logic checks:
[2026-01-12 13:31:32,894]: (Team #1) LEVEL 3! sent Ribbon to LlisandurFF4 (The Deep Sea Chest - Ruins just south of Jidamba 1)
[2026-01-12 13:35:25,153]: (Team #1) LEVEL 3! sent Item - Progressive Luxury Pass to LEVEL 3! (The Deep Sea Chest - Crumbling shrine 1)

I see no way to get to the room through the vent
I found it
nice work!

Hello
I had to accompany family on a trip
Let's play Crystal Project
Still no mounts
I would like to have owl, since that makes getting Mimic and Summoner possible
[Hint]: LEVEL 3!'s Item - Babel Quintar is at Pokedex - Cleffa in AlopexePKMN3-1's World at Ruin Valley (Good Rod), Treasure Beach (Land). (priority)
With Babel Quintar I can breed my own gliding mount without owl, so if the following checks are impossible consider it instead
LEVEL 3!'s Item - Progressive Mount Instrument is at Pokedex - Rattata in AlopexePKMN3-1's World at Pokemon Mansion 2F (Land), Route 10 (Land), Route 9 (Land), Water Path (Land). (priority)```
Until then, I want to teach my characters the rest of my abilities so that I can do the arena
So we can fight these guys
Using jugular and tanking their fire breath attack gives us a free win
And since I have LP gains multiplied in accessibility settings I only need to do it once per class
With every available class mastered, I can do something like this for sky arena
Start every fight with jugular
Pass turn
And every time, re-raise will bring me back
Since none of the enemies in the arena are bosses, they are not immune to instant death, and this setup only fails in cases where an enemy gets two magical attacks on me before they die.
This also works if you shuffle enemies with the in-game randomizer, because it cannot shuffle enemies that are immune to instant death
And class get
LEVEL 3! sent 3 Puzzle Pieces to EmeJig (Shoudu Province Chest - 5 Sky Arena Wins room 4)
LEVEL 3! sent Job - Weaver to EmeCP (Shoudu Province NPC - 4 Sky Arena Wins Prize)

[Hint]: LEVEL 3!'s Item - Clamshell is at Pokedex - Salamence in LlisandurPKMN3-1's World at Lost Cave B1F Room 3 (Land), Pokemon Mansion 1F (Land). (priority)
With this I am out of checks that are in logic. I have to receive either one more progressive mount instrument or three more clamshells to proceed
How's everybody else doing so far? We're almost at the halfway point of the month, with about 60% of checks found
Oh yeah I also want the next luxury pass
Soul badge gives me surf which opens up a bit of stuff.
Derp, I jsut realized I have the thing which evolves into Wailord to get your mount thing. Let me level it up.
LlisandurPKMN3-1 sent Item - Progressive Mount Instrument to LEVEL 3! (Pokedex - Wailord)
Wonderful, thanks!
Let's get back to Crystal Project then
With the help of owl I can get my own salmon LEVEL 3! found their Item - Progressive Mount Instrument (Jidamba Tangle NPC - Diamond atop broken ruins by the Summoner tree)
And can get weaver
And Mimic
And in Slip Glide Ride, with evil slope abuse we can reach the summoner crystal from behind
That's all classes
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7Et_fc7JpmU for the slope trick (also features several high jumps)
Let's take a break.
LEVEL 3! sent Master Crystal Deer to DragonSoulBlazer (Yamagawa M.A. NPC - Hidden inside waterfall source)
LEVEL 3! sent Woodstin Trio Deer to DragonSoulBlazer (Slip Glide Ride Chest - Past the mean Ibek jump)
LEVEL 3! sent Blue Stone to DragonSoulBlazer (The Deep Sea NPC - King of the middle of nowhere ocean crab)
LEVEL 3! sent Dr. Leo to DragonSoulBlazer (The Depths NPC - Follow barnacled meat branches for Diamond 1)
LEVEL 3! sent Ice Armor to DragonSoulBlazer (Ancient Labyrinth Chest - Dungeon East sneaky hole in wall)
LEVEL 3! sent Item - Neptune Stone to EmeCP (Underpass Chest - Up the waterfall inside Quintar Mausoleum)
LEVEL 3! sent Item - The Open Sea Pass to EmeCP (Shoudu Province Chest - Reservoir above the water)
LEVEL 3! sent Item - Mercury Shrine Pass to EmeCP (Slip Glide Ride Chest - Through 1st red lock)
LEVEL 3! sent Item - Jojo Sewers Pass to EmeCP (The Deep Sea NPC - Crab on a mission N of Tall Tall Heights)
fascinating, how does the owl go up the slope like that?
You need to let go of the jump button the moment before you hit the slope so it starts pushing you up
You still need to hold left though
good to know, i'll have to try that sometime
what's the slope abuse trick?? i thought you couldn't get there from the exit 😂
this is the eaclaneya all over again
oh i see eme asked already
lollll
It's not remarkably hard either. Took me a couple of minutes after watching the video. My biggest mistake was holding the jump button
I need two more deity eyes to fight a boss I probably won't
One day I will learn what nonogram is
it's also called picross
looks like this
except usually without any ? marks
i can also give you more details if you want
i love them
usually you're solving toward a picture of something, i don't know if the AP nonograms bother making the final image look like anything in particular
they definitely don't!
ah, I used to love these, though I hadn't heard either of those names for it
There's a third name?!
Picross is a Nintendo series
And apparently wikipedia calls the general name nonograms https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nonogram
when i was a kid, i had "paint by numbers" puzzle books
I thought paint by number was more like you had to draw lines between points and then fill in with specific colors
hmm now that you mention it, i remember that too
how confusing lol
Apparently that's called connect the dots
that makes me think of when i was looking at the Hidden Object tag on Steam, and most of those games are like, click on objects inside a busy picture
but one of the games in the list was a pvp game where you disguise yourself as an object
i was like ok, technically i guess there is a hidden object involved here XD
My mom is an addict. She somehow finds and plays the worst hidden object games
my mom plays good hidden object games
i think my favorite trashy hidden object game has to be New York Mysteries: The Lantern of Souls
what if you were a journalist going to some house bc someone died but then you find out Nazis kidnapped Death and you have to defeat them so people can start dying properly again instead of turning into zombies?
chef's kiss
That's an amazing premise
hehe
it's part of a series, and the rest aren't quite as beloved to me, but they're similar quality
I have a nonogram game on my phone but it got too hard for me to progress

i think i prefer how the large puzzle is working in terms of being able to actually use hints and not getting hit with a continuous stream of pieces
but it seems to have a lot less useful items in it
i think maybe 5-15 may be a good balance
Hi
Let's play Crystal Project
LEVEL 3! (Team #1) has completed their goal.
LEVEL 3! sent Item - Clamshell to EmeCP (Seaside Cliffs NPC - If you give a Manana Man a clam... (he will ask you for more))
Bug report: Clam man asked for 14 clams but took 13 from me
Are clamshells GSTs?
Kinda
In the vanilla game you find all clams in one region to get one check in return
Same for bones. Other collectibles like penguins and crabs give multiple checks with milestones
But all of these collectibles are restricted to one region
Hmm, I need the mirror shield to kill Guaba
Or I can kill the Lv? dummy for the training sword and get it that way
Chemist-aegis can make up random buffs with chemist and stack them with entrench, then mimic can copy all of them
And first boss dead
The build is here
- Character 1 uses Guaba.
- 2 and 3 alternate between Observe and Repeat. Repeat will always cast Guaba.
- 1 and 4 now skip every turn.
Repeat until every boss dies
Except I'm not going to do it for this boss since it's extremely slow and doesn't give checks
This boss unlocks checks so I'll fight it
This boss has 17k HP, so I need to repeat the cycle about twice that many times
24 times
total lockdown, amazing
Now, given that this strategy works on everything that locks checks, I'm just going to release and we can all pretend I did it several hundred times to kill the castle bosses
Final time
I got 1200/1276 checks without killing a single boss
LEVEL 3! (Team #1) has released all remaining items from their world.
LEVEL 3! sent Fame Checker to AlopexePKMN3-1 (Quintar Reserve Shop - Babel to this Quintar 3)

LEVEL 3! sent 1 Puzzle Piece to octy_jigsaw_smal (Castle Sequoia Chest - Chilly duo in Chips Challenge of doom)x6```
Notes for next time I decide to do the level 3 challenge:
1- Do NOT shuffle shops. Not being able to buy all the accessories I want massively slowed me down.
2- Make Labyrinth excluded. It's possible to get all the checks inside without fighting anything, but one misstep means having to repeat all the puzzles.
3- Keep crystals vanilla.
4- If you shuffle bosses, Anubis and the true final boss have no strategies, so exclude them.
Log update
nice!!
i opened my Soul Blazer game just to click through receiving the items everyone's found for me and got a bit of a scare when the game locked up during one cutscene

How's everyone's progress?
We are 70% of the way into the month with 70% of checks and 2 games finished out of 13

I wish Emerassi a quick recovery and he's welcome to come back any time he feels like
He says sounds good and thanks a lot!
i've gotten all the emblems so i have reached victory in Soul Blazer
oh hm
i didn't realize that Soul Blazer would uh. prevent me from getting more checks after i hit victory
maybe if i restart again?
nope, it just traps me in the ending cinematic every time i start the game
woops
uhh so can you release Soul Blazer as well? 😅
you can release it yourself since you goaled
oh!
i forgot that was a thing i could do
hmm /release says it's not a recognized command
!release
oh, you know i tried that one too and it didn't work; but then i opened the text client and it worked there
woo
ty
now let's see where Hollow Knight can go
octy_jigsaw_smal sent Pass to LlisandurFF4 (Merge 467 times)
@midnight depot How do you keep the gauba stunlock going? After about 3 turns I keep ending up in an observe loop.
It's tricky.
1- The mimics must not be one after the other
2- They must each observe a non-mimic character, following that by copying.
Since the non-mimic character skipped their turn, copy will copy the ability before that
I recommend you avoid that strategy if you have any other method. If your level is higher than three you have other methods for all bosses
let's play ladx
La DxRomulus sent Rainbow Badge to AlopexePKMN3-1 (Under Armos Cave (Southern Face Shrine))

almost all the puzzle pieces i could hint for smal are in AlopexePKMN3-1

Beating the game opened over 100 more checks. XD
LlisandurFF4 (Team #1) has completed their goal.
Well done!
Here's a log update
We are six days to go from the end of the month. We just have Alop.exe, DragonsHK, Dr. Romulus and Octy with small jigsaw to go
Dr. Romulus was waiting on a key I couldn't get until I beat Pokemon. Beating the game gave me a check that gave me that pass to go to some of the islands that had the key.
Hell yeah
this is dragonsbutalsorabbits from eme's phone; can you release my HK game please? I've been in the hospital with eme for a few days and it's looking like the stay will last at least a couple more, i haven't had time to go back to it
i hope everything turns out well 
Sure. Best of luck
thanks ♥️ he appreciates your well wishes
let's play ladx

[Hint]: La DxRomulus's Hookshot is at Ruin Valley - Southeast Item in AlopexePKMN3-1's World. (priority) @proven holly @silent siren i very much need these two items to do anything
unfortunately, the dungeon that the key llisandur got unlocks is still locked behind the hookshot to get to it
unfortunately i am still only at up to 546 merges
Found it.
Done
Looks like releasing gave nothing important to Dr. Romulus or Alop.exe, and six puzzle pieces to Octy
@cold valve octy_jigsaw_smal sent Yoshi Doll to La DxRomulus (Merge 554 times)
Hi
Log update
It's January 30th. Any chance we can finish before the end of the month?
Looks like Dr Romulus needs his Angler Key at Octy's Merge 565 times, but Octy needs two more merges from Alop.exe, which are at Piloswine, Golbat, Spheal, Magneton pokedex entries, or Lostelle Gift
Oh, it also lopes like Alop.exe is in go mode, so finishing the game and releasing remaining checks is also an option
heyo peeps, haven't popped in here in a while. Wanted to say thanks for the well wishes when I got sick earlier this month. I'm gonna skip out of Februrary but I'm hoping I'll be back in for March. I'm getting better but I want to be all better right now and my body is being mean and refusing to follow my very demanding timeline! =P My advice for everyone is never get sick, thank you
Finished.
octy_jigsaw_smal sent Angler Key to La DxRomulus (Merge 565 times) @cold valve

Well done, everyone. Thanks for playing with me
Thank you for joining me in the Manechat Archipelago Game for January 2026. This month we've had 13 games, 40 spheres, and 6628 locations. Players in the Playthrough file, listed from last to first receiving an item, are @proven holly with small jigsaw, @inner shoal with Hollow Knight, octy with large jigsaw, @modern ivy with Crystal Project, @cold valve with LADX, me with Crystal Project, Emerassi with Nonograms, Emerassi with Jigsaw, Dragons with Soul Blazer, @silent siren with Pokemon, @tender pelican with Pokemon, Llisandur with FF4, and Emerassi with the second Nonogram.

Archipelago
13 Players Multiworld
running on archipelago.gg with port 46077
Hello, @here! I'm starting another Manechat Asynchronous Archipelago Game, with the intent of running until the the end of February 2026. 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 Thursday, February 5th 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.
I'll be skipping again
Ooh, there's a crypt of the necrodancer apworld
they added choo-choo charles? honestly suprised by that
someone wanted to make it lol
I will be factorioing
Hell yeah
I will do ladx since the mid-month is pretty sparse for it and I'll be busy at HarmonyCon
Next month I'll add outer wilds back in
grats on the finishes!
I'll be joining in this month with a emerald and terraria
Awesome. Eager to play with you
i'm skipping this month, but i'm looking forward to the next one! :>
yeah drabbits is busy with this new video game it's like a tamegotchi except it's a sick spouse so it's more work lol
I think this is an every other month kind of thing for me but I had fun with it 🙂
skong out?
Not yet
Trying to figure out what to play this month. Probably going to try Hollow Knight. Not done with a normal playthrough of Crystal Project yet and just started a normal playthrough of Pokemon Black/White so I can't do those.
Generates just fine!
Tomorrow I will set up Crystal Project and keep it to two games since February is only 28 days this year
Still waiting for Dr Romulus, Octy, and @lament tusk if you're still interested!
All right, maybe next time
what do you need from me?
Ah, actually nothing
I added your files but didn't take you off the "didn't provide files" list
lol
Thanks! That's everyone but me
Unless someone else wants to play, we will start as soon as I get around to adding my second game
Woo!
Missing me too. :|
D:
I think I'll just do Hollow Knight this time. Tired of my usuals and can't find another that I want to do.
Oh yes sorry! I'll add you
You can use the auto-updater to automatically see a list of most playable apworlds and grab any of them
Hello!
We start tomorrow
I have the following nine games
Let's add Crystal Project
For this month I will try to shuffle as few things as the YAML allows me
included_regions: doesn't leave other regions unshuffled, it fills them with junk, I think, so I will have it set to all
Hmmm, kill_bosses_mode is fun. Maybe I don't want to shuffle as few things as possible.
Bah
# Prevent these locations from having an unimportant item.
[Bosses, Mount Instruments, Fetch Quests]```
This is NOT capitalization insensitive
Everything looks good. Let's go over the list:
1- Ixrec, Meganought, Emerassi, Dragons, Alop.exe, Artiks will skip.
2- Octy is joining with Factorio and jigsaw. Both are present.
3- Dr Romulus is joining with LADX, which is present.
4- Daibeso is joining with Terraria and Pokemon Emerald. Present.

Ah fuck I need the synchrony expansion and that's why it's not running
I GUESS I can spare the 4.4 dollars to try it out
Yep, game works, sends and receives items
Hello
Let's do one final check before we start
We have the following games. I don't think we're missing anyone.

trying to get all the saves to play nice between different versions has been pretty interesting. And when it's going to fail because it doesn't have the right information to make sure it at least doesn't explode horribly...
i wish we'd thought about it a little more in the past and we might've been able to come up with a cleaner solution
i did 53 merges and all i got was this lousy egg octy_jigsaw sent Rancid_Egg to LlisandurHK (Merge 1 times)
octy_factory sent Fragile_Strength to ryansabugnow (AP-1-097)

and puzzle needs [Hint]: octy_jigsaw's 10 Puzzle Pieces is at Delende Boss - Troll in FlitterFF5's World. (priority)
I can get the first one. Troll is usually something you get in the last 30% of the game, but I may be able to get a build going that kills him early
does hinting take the earliest sphere yet?
if it doesn't maybe that's just really late but it's the only one i could hint
Maybe troll is in logic early because I can technically grind to the level cap
All right, let's get the hinted items
FlitterFF5 sent effect-transmission to octy_factory (Home Point - Training Grounds) Why are beacons not marked useful?
Take note: This is not how you escape
Let's stop here

Man I need to farm geo so I can buy all this stuff for people. XD
Yup.
Welp, it's been a while since I played a Hollow Knight apparently. Died once to the easiest dream boss in the game. -_-
Alright, got errands to run. I'll have to come back to Dark Souls 4 to beat the mantis lords later.
Hollow Knight is not easy
I meeeeeaaaaan it's not that hard, either. XD
I did have to get used to healing only one hit at a time though. At least most enemies only deal 1 hit damage. >.>
I need to get back into practice so I can beat Silk Song lol
any level based logic for Cry Pro should be based only on recieved progressive level items, unless level_gating is completely disabled
so even if you could kill mobs for levels it should never consider that fact for item placement
when i was playing through hollow knight it did a surprisingly good job of kicking my ass without making me feel bad about it, probably some kind of ideal difficulty in some ways lol
I do have it completely disabled
the world is your oyster! (or Troll)!
Yeah, the later stuff especially.
lmao!
I knew what I signed up for
Nobody can accuse Flitter of shying away from a Crystal Project combat challenge. Level 3 victory in a rando takes guts.
Thanks
if we had a leaderboard for craziest run so far you're still at the top ;)
Archipelago server seems unstable? Or is it just me?
I keep losing connection to it and the room page is taking a long time to load.
seems dicey yeah
Okay. Is there a way to check what I sent? I just want to make sure these items actually got sent out.
open your tracker on the site
If it shows on the client it is what you sent
You can also ask me for a log update
There's no client, Hollow Knight handles all that in the background.
I ran the text client and did !checked, looks like stuff went through. Thanks!
I'm not sure how to read the tracker on the site. Which section is items sent?
I can't help right now because I am in bed
you can see if the Location is checked or not
NP, thanks. You shouldn't be reading chat in bed! Get some sleep! XD
I get some phone in bed time because I am very cute
Okay looks like the last two are checked in the tracker too. Just wanted to make sure!
Thanks for the help!
Hmmm figure out who has the city key and bug them to find it or go in from the other side. Decisions decisions...
Also I really gotta thank @tender pelican for sending me quick nail, it's really made my life easier. If you've got to go around using a shitty nail at least you can swing it faster. XD
Hmm seems like Archipelago just went down. :(
Should be back

TIL that AP factorio still ticks the game when people do things in AP, instead of keeping it fully paused
thankfully i am on peaceful but i am going to keep it shut down so i don't run out of coal :P
I think Factorio also passes time slowly during certain pause states
they said on the AP discord that it passing when no players are online is a consequence of the AP mod
normally the no players pause should be completely stopped AFAIK
Makes sense

FlitterCONDOR sent Mystery Egg to ryansmons (Monk - Zone 1 - Floor 2)
I thought I was going to go find more stuff, but I've been busy with other things so I think I'll just release. I don't seem to have had anything anyone needs anyway.
That's fair. Good luck!
as far as I know both me and Daibesu are still waiting on crystal for any more progress
Which seems to be stuck at 14.80%
We do have a week and a day to go so it's fine, but regular progress would be nice to see
Ah, wait
Looks like the whole game is in logic, so it's just up to Ryan now
Oh no!
Technically, I just need like - ten more levels and I can go beat up the elite four and be done.
Hey does anyone know why I can't evolve my eevee into espeon? Is this a randomizer thing?
Don't you need to have high friendship and also have it be daytime?
Yeah, friendship is maxxed out and it's daytime. Won't evolve, still just an eevee.
Weird
I was wondering if the spoiler log says anything about altering the evolution requirements? I didn't see anything in the yaml that should affect it.
It says you have a catchable espeon somewhere in the game
This is your whole settings page:
This is the relevant part
Convergent Evolution: Avoid
So it looks like eevee -> espeon is unchanged
Yeah that's what it looks like! :/
Oh well, I guess I'll have to find another psychic to complete my team.
from looking at the implementation and reading the AP discord channel, there's no friendship evos or trade evos - trade evos are at level 37, trade with item are just use an item, and you need sun/moon stone for espeon / umbreon
Oooh okay. Thank you!!
Welp, I found a mew. Got 50, arcanine achieved. At the league tower. I'll challenge the elite four later tonight and should be able to release once they're done. :3
Finally remembered to release. Basically the only progression items were the one Flitter wanted and a couple temple warp stones.
I'm trying to connect to pokemon and it keeps telling me "Invalid slot. Make sure you're connected to the correct server"
Port 60183
Port is now 36093
I just clicked the link... O.o
Cached I guess.
its hard to see when you're not the host, but the server will shut down after 2 hours of idle time
the page lists the old port until the server restarts, which only happens when you load the page
it should automatically correct itself once it's started in a few seconds without reloading
Pokemon complete!!
I have defeted the most skilled trainer in hoenn and aquired the most powerful melee weapon in terraria (I have goaled and released both of my games)
wow this endgame sucks https://nextcloud.octyl.net/s/jN8DyN7NESPxGgZ/preview
holy cow holy cow yes it did that's a lot of fancy uranium for a satellite lmfao
well done finishing it
i kinda cheated since i only need one and i get a half stack of whatever gets researched as a treat (helps with getting research out of order)
so i already had 100/123 on hand
thank goodness lol
Thank you for joining me in the Manechat Archipelago game for February 2026! This month we've had 11 games, 3787 locations, and 57 spheres. Players in the playthrough file, listed from last to first receiving an item, are @tender pelican with Hollow Knight (with literally ten spheres at the end???), me with Crypt of the Necrodancer, @proven holly with Factorio and Jigsaw, @rare oxide with Pokemon Crystal, @cold valve with LADX, @faint grove with Pokemon Emerald, me with Crystal Project, Daibesu with Terraria, Ryan with Hollow Knight, and me with Ape Escape in sphere 39. Included are the game log, spoiler log, yamls and output file. The game link was at https://archipelago.gg/room/494vzau5TrCJgyooLB1zag
Archipelago
11 Players Multiworld
running on archipelago.gg with port 36841
Hello, @here! I'm starting another Manechat Asynchronous Archipelago Game, with the intent of running until the the end of March 2026. 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 Monday, March 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.
I need to finish Crystal Project, but I need lots of money to make a gold quintar and farming money is boring. XD
I will join with ladx and outer wilds. Yamls to come soon™
Do you have the tree done? The boss at the end can make it much faster
No, it was a pain trying to climb it and then I got distracted.
That's where I need to go next.
I basically just have the tree and under the castle to do.
Other than that, my recommended method is repeatedly killing sea enemies with four wizards, and using the accessibility settings
Every time I look at the accessibility settings it warns me that I can't turn it off again so I haven't touched it. XD
That's correct, but
You can adjust some of them to the original level or disable them
All it actually does in most cases is mark your save file as having used them
The ones you cannot turn off AND cannot stop benefiting from are the extended timers and healing home point accessibility settings
I plan on playing bugs again and ds3 if I can get it working.
DS3 can get a bit messy, but it's playable
Expect to spend a lot of time, because it's hard and has many checks
Pretty sure that's the first game he played in archipelago. XD
It was lol
I can beat ds3 naked with a spoon, so no problem there lol
Actually, archipelago made it was easier because I get showered with gear XD
I'm really looking forward to when they get Elden Ring working. That's my game lol
Hell yeah
i think it is time to hollow a knight again
Joining in with just some starcraft this month
Hella
I am so bad at remembering this, please ping me for yamls liberally if i don't remember to do them tonight
Will do. We start March 2nd
Would like to join this month with pokemon emerald :3
Hi!
It is Sunday. We start on Monday.
Currently, Dr Romulus, Ryan, Octy, Daibesu, Alop.exe all have expressed interest. I have files from everyone but Ryan
Today is Saturday.
Used to be
I still need to get my files. I forgot that February only has 28 days and thought I had more time.
Happens! Would you like a few days?
We can start on Thursday or Friday if it suits you
Nah, should be fine. I'll figure out something tonight most likely.
I'll be skipping March too
Trying Chrono Trigger again, we'll see if it works this time, Dragon Warrior, and FF Mystic Quest. All apworlds updated to latest from the updater.
Eh, haven't gotten to getting DS3 working yes. The randomizer doesn't want to work. I'll just play Hollow Knight this month.
Got it!
Whoa, did the Outer Wilds apworld jump into 1.x?
they even gave me a channel instead of a thread
Hell yeah. That happens when the thread has too many people
yep, the current rule is you can ask for one at 750 users, which OW passed a while back, so when the PR for Forgotten Castaways showed up, I figured it was a good time to finally call it v1 and also ask for a channel
I dunno if any of the recent OW changes affect players here though
Probably not
For this month I'll adjust the settings on Crypt of the Necrodancer to make it smoother, and rerun the two other games
Exception: Item 'Exp Share' from option 'PokemonEmeraldStartInventory(Exp Share: 1)' is not a valid item name from 'Pokemon Emerald'. Did you mean 'Exp. Share' (90% sure)
I'll adjust it
All right. Everything is ready, but it looks like Archipelago is going through a server expansion. Let's start tomorrow just in case
since we haven't started, I have a jigsaw apworld update (the old one is supposed to work fine with the new website update, but just in case)
apparently the Archipelago server change is "done", at this point the only step left is waiting for the many layers of IP caches to update to the new IP
since this is a relatively small group, might be worth individually checking if we can all open https://archipelago.gg/
oh duh the old server's still running for "2 days" so that will currently work whether or not you've updated
It's fine, it's already past midnight so I will not be starting it
Hi
I think we're ready? Let's check
Alop, Daibesu, Dr Romulus, Me, Llisandur, Octy, Ryan
That's everyone
Archipelago
13 Players Multiworld
running on archipelago.gg with port 62102
Game's up. Let me set up everything else and ping everyone
All right, the game is on with @silent siren, @faint grove, @cold valve @proven holly, @midnight depot, @tender pelican, @proven holly @rare oxide! Let me know if you need anything
Let's play Crystal Project
The game is a few versions ahead of the archipelago version by now, but I guess it didn't change much so that's okay
Starting classes are shaman, ninja, beastmaster, beatsmith, ninja, mimic, reaper.
And I start in Europa Shrine, conveniently triggering a hidden capital teleport NPC
You didn't ping me
Yay
Taking bets to what my starting item will be
I'll find out when i get home from work
Feels like a bombs start
It looks like I started with zero region passes and triggered a failsafe to grant me a region pass for my starting zone
Also, since I'm level 3 and the enemies are level 50 in here, it'll have to be dodge city for me.
Also taking bets to which planet i spawn on in outer wilds
