I decided to try out Star Citizen with the current IAE free fly event rather than just watching youtube videos and never playing it.

I spent idk how long, too long, trying to do the tutorial. (Part of why it took so long was I kept stopping to look around my starting city.) Eventually I got far enough I learned how to fly, but it wouldn't register that I'd landed in the station you have to fly to to progress the tutorial, so I couldn't go any further. I logged out and just chose to skip the tutorial at that point. I logged back in, back in my starting city, and this time just went and picked up my (free, wimpy, bc of the current free event) starter ship.

I opened up my map and checked the navigation to New Babbage, the city where the current event - letting you fly a changing selection of the game's many ships for free each day - is actually taking place. "Oh good," I thought. "It set the route, I guess that means my ship can make the trip." The fuel calculation seemed to be bugged, I couldn't figure out how to actually read it to double check if the amounts worked out, but I figured if there's a problem I'll just self destruct and start over.

I arrive at Microtech, the planet on which New Babbage is located. "Weird," I think, "Why is New Babbage all the way on the other side of the planet. Okay I'll just set up another little hop and -" it turns out my ship did Not have enough quantum fuel to make it all the way there. I briefly consider self destructing but it's fine, I am at the right planet at least, I'll just fly down manually to whatever I'm closest to where I can refuel and then hop from there. I check my map, which is frustrating to use if you aren't searching for a specific location, because as soon as you zoom in close enough to make out any locations it wants to jump to just showing the map of your ship. After fighting it for a while I find that I'm basically directly above an emergency shelter, which seems fitting. And it has ship services, perfect.

I fly down to the emergency shelter, which is just a little solitary building in a clearing in the woods. I hop out of my ship, it's absolutely gorgeous. I'm floored by how it really feels like I just hopped out of my dinky little ship into an actual forest clearing. I go looking around the shelter. I can't figure out how to refuel, but it also doesn't even have real landing pads, so I assume the map info was wrong and I can't actually do that here. More importantly, the shelter has the space version of Monster and Slim Jims, which I need bc this has taken so long I'm actually getting hungry and thirsty in game. I decide her diet is enough evidence for me to say the game has agreed with me that my character is trans. Anyway the fuel thing is fine, there's a mining outpost nearby, I'll try there.

I fly over to the mining outpost, which actually has landing pads, one of which is even occupied. I hail them to get landing permission, which it says I have, but it doesn't direct me to a pad how I expect. I just go and land on the smallest one anyway, it's fine, maybe that's how this works idk. I go and look in one of the buildings here, it seems like it's been looted by someone else, but I do find a free multi-tool, which will be useful for doing cargo, which I plan on being my main focus. I mean, even though accounts are gonna get wiped in a few weeks with 4.0, but whatever it's fine.

I still can't figure out how to refuel. At this point I realize I just don't know how to refuel and it's probably not a matter of not being able to find a terminal to do it at. I look it up and you just do it from your personal menu like accepting missions or using your map. Duh. I go to get back in my ship but I'm clipping through it. Thankfully if I walk up to the cockpit I can clip close enough to the pilot's chair I can still hop in, and that works fine. I finally refuel, I fly back out of atmosphere, I hop to New Babbage.

My computer lags hard as fuck. Between the shaders compiling bc it's my first time there and the number of people there bc it's the current Main City bc of the event I just sit back and wait a moment until I can do anything. It's night time and the city all sprawling out beneath me with lights on legitimately looks like a real city and I'm floored. I figure out where the hangars are and fly over, requesting access. I'm still very bad at flying so I take too long entering and they close the doors right as I get there. I get into a bit of a back and forth with flight control loading slowly before I get the doors to open and I still scrape something going through. I make a mental note to take off and land in the 3rd person camera from now on.

I store my loaner ship and head out into the city's transit station. I check which way the expo hall is and deliberately go the other way, I want to explore and also see if I can sell any of the stuff I looted on my impromptu stopovers. When I'm on the transit and I come out of the underground part and see the city all lit up at night I actually gasp. It got to me, okay. The actual to scale science fiction city with working (in a sense of the word) transit got to me.

I look around the shops. I can't sell any of my shit so I just drop it on the floor bc the game doesn't have interactable garbage cans. It's 4:30am at this point so I just log out rather than go the rest of the way to the expo hall.

It was - incredible. One of the most engrossing experiences I've ever had in a game. I'm absolutely buying an actual starter ship tonight after work. It is definitely in an alpha state. Playing the game makes it extremely obvious that they have spent the past 12 years of dev time doing early work and then throwing it out over and over again bc they had so much money there was no one to say just get it done about anything. I don't think I could tell anyone they should check it out unless I know they value basically the exact same things in a game I do.

But I want to believe, you know? I think just the idea of Star Citizen has already changed space games, and I think if they do actually manage to ever get close to a released product it's going to be so special. I think it's already something so special. It's just also extremely broken and unfinished. But oh my god, you know. I don't know how else to explain it.

I've talked before about how highly I value a sense of "realness" in a game, that feeling that a game takes place in a real, living space. Even broken and incredibly unfinished I don't know if I've ever played a game that felt as real as Star Citizen.

I’m back with a second WIP Wednesday on the trot, with another grown-up Mathilde snippet. Except this time it's from a fic where she goes off to uni and encounters a Bondian scheme by one of her professors bc I grew up the Young Bond novels and I just think they're neat. Will I ever complete it? Probably not but I’m having fun writing it.

‘Spare me the patronising tone, Miss Bond. Turing used his incredible brain to aid the war effort, there are no clean hands.’

‘His work saved millions of lives. The war would’ve dragged on for years longer had he not cracked Enigma.’

Irritation bubbled over in Claiborne’s eyes, ‘It was the Poles who cracked Enigma. You really should’ve paid more attention in my lectures, Bond.’

Mathilde grimly noted the use of the past tense. This must have been what had happened to Nathan Richards. He must have found out about the zero day attack too and Claiborne had him murdered for it. Now it looked like Mathilde would suffer the same fate. ‘Turing did refine the decryption, I’ll admit that. But what about Babbage and his Difference Engine?’

‘What about it?’ She said with equal frustration as she fruitlessly struggled against the restraints pinning her wrists to the chair. ‘He never got a chance to make it.’

‘Imagine that he had. He intended it to be used to calculate the financial assets of the British Empire. Its conquests, its wars, its plunder. At least tell me you know where the word computer comes from?’

If Claiborne was affording her the chance to play the smart Alec she decided she might as well take it, she didn’t want to show how frightened she really was. ‘From Latin, via the French. To determine together through reason.’

‘By jove, she does know something. You see Miss Bond, I reason all this technological advancement, all this progress in the end it has always been used to do what humans have always done. This is power as its most pure. I’m just staking my claim.’

‘That’s it? The miracle of technology and it all comes down to making algorithms to decide who to kill and how to do it most efficiently? And make yourself a little more rich in the process? You’re a monster, sir.’

If Claiborne was wounded by her words he didn’t show it save for the brusqueness with which he spoke his next utterance. ‘I do believe this tutorial is at an end, Miss Bond. I truly am sorry it has to end this way, you really were a very promising student.’

It's doubly fun to write a villain 😁 I'm imagining Claiborne as Samuel West because he did such a marvellous job as Sir Hugo Drax in the radio play of Moonraker and he is delightfully devilish as Peter Judd in the Slow Horses tv series.

hi! sorry to bother you, but im a follower of your twitter bot @fisk_bot (i love the content a lot its very good) and i am trying to make a bot myself. if u wouldnt mind sharing, how did you make the bot tweet pictures? i just wanna make a picture bot for a character i like. thanks

ain’t botherin me at all dogg i’ve been meaning to make a proper tutorial for a while now anyway! (fisk <3s you too. they loave you THIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIS mutch!)

here’s the Officially Sanctioned Fiskbot Guide To Picture Bots (Bonus General Twitter Bot Tips Included)

first of all some notes:

i use twittbot.net for my bots. this method will work totally fine on other ones (it’s not based around twittbot, it’s based around how twitter itself works), i only mention it so people who wanna make bots but don’t know what site to use can know my own preference

this also works with videos! (i mean, the ones uploaded directly to & hosted on twitter. videos from youtube or instagram you just have to... add the youtube or instagram link)

host the image on the bot you want the pictures to show up on. this method works no matter what account originally posted the image, BUT if that account deletes the post or goes private no one will be able to see the image, so it’s better just as insurance to post it on your own account

a little technical note is that the reason you can’t see the images anymore once the person who posted the images deletes/goes private is because the account who posts the image is the one who “hosts” the image, which is easier to see when you try and add a video-- the op will be listed as whoever you linked the video from, not the account that just posted it. for example, i took the link for the [[HORCE]] video from the bot for my groupchat, and you can see the op is listed as “furbyskinnerbot” even when it’s posted on fiskbot

if you can’t get to a computer, you can get pic.twitter links from notifications on mobile, but you can’t copy and paste them and will have to type em all out manually

bonus twitter bot tip: fill up the bot with LOTS of tweets, it helps prevent repetition, ensures your bot will post on time and twitter blocking your bot from posting something because it tried to tweet something it already had fairly recently (twitter doesn’t like double-tweeting). fiskbot’s tweetbank has 250 tweets in it right now and it consistently posts on schedule! you may not need THAT many to get it to work, but lots is never bad with twittbots. if you don’t care about posting on schedule, then you can fill it up however you wanna

bonus twittbot-specific tip: go to settings and switch the second option, “order,” from “order of registration” to “random”. it mixes the tweets up and makes it less likely that your bot will post several similar tweets in a row, if you’re like me and have an idea for a tweet, put it in, then have... a related idea and add that one in right after...

version 1: a photo tweet with a caption

personally i prefer posting my photos with captions just for the sake of getting the pic.twitter link, because it’s a lot easier, BUT you don’t have to. here’s how you can get it

step 1: right click on the caption and hit inspect element (caption doesn’t need to be highlighted)

step 2: what the hell is this nonsense! well it’s where you’re getting your link, as soon as you hit inspect element (if you do so ON THE CAPTION TEXT) you’ll immediately be brought here, which is where you gotta be! expand the dropdown

step 3: you see that pic.twitter link? YOINK THAT SHIT and put it in your bot. you can have it tweet just the photo, or you can add a caption-- but make sure you put the link at the END of the tweet if it has a caption, i dunno if putting it before the tweet will fuck it up or not but it’s probably better not to take any chances

version 2: if the photo has no caption

while i DO prefer getting my links when there are captions... sometimes captions just don’t improve the funny. sometimes captions are unnecessary. also, sometimes you’re going against my advice and grabbing the link from an account that isn’t yours, and that account posted the image without a caption. if any of those apply here’s how to get the link from uncaptioned photos

step 1: so, there’s a bit of technical trivia to go along with this one; twitter USED to have the pic.twitter links just... IN the tweet, perfectly visible. this was taken away years ago because it occupied about 20 of the 140 characters and twitter finally realized that occupying that much space was kinda bullshit, so they made the pic.twitter links not occupy any required characters... AND made them hidden. they aren’t gone, they’re actually still technically in the captions, they’re just not visible. so, if you right click roughly around the area where a tweet caption WOULD be, you’ll still end up at “js-tweet-text-container”!

step 2: ... but because it’s invisible it’s also easy to miss. i missed. luckily though it’s still only a few clicks away and you’re looking for the same thing you need to find for a captioned tweet

and there you go! like i said before it’ll work with both photos and videos which is pretty sweet

#anon #asks #babbage tutorial #i get asked this/see people asking about it a lot #i have no issue explaining it but i figure it'll be easier if i can just send them a link and they'll have all the info they need #plus that way i won't end up forgetting something important #since i'm used to the process by now and know what to look for when *i* do it

Guide to Raising Servants for Beginner Masters

You thought this was going to be an Utsumi analysis! You fool! This guide will give you an idea of what Servants to raise as soon as possible, and your eventually goal as to why their skill levels should be for maximum efficiency. The main section will be for 1-3 stars, ignoring post Septum story-locks, and the 4-star tutorial summon Servants. This will not cover welfares. There will be different sections for NA and JP as well, due to notable differences in pools.

NA sections will also cover JP, with the exception of the Tutorial Summon. JP will cover sections exclusive to JP. I use 10 and x as notation for skills for brevity.

10 will mean that this skill should be heavily prioritized. This does not mean that the Servant needs that skill at level 10 to perform, but that you should level this skill as high as possible.

x will mean that this skill should not be heavily prioritized. This can range from a skill like Mozart’s 2nd skill which shouldn’t be raised at all, to Euryale’s 2nd skill which is useful but should only be considered later.

1-Star (NA): Mozart, Level 50/60, 10/x/10 Arash, Level 60/60, x/x/10 Mata Hari: Level 50/60, x/10/10 Spartacus: Level 60/60, x/10/10 Paul Bunyan, Level 60/60, 10/x/10

2-Star (JP): Hassan of the Cursed Arm, Level 65/65, 10/x/10 Gareth, Level 65/65, 10/10/10 Chen Gong, Level 65/65, x/10/10 Paris, Level 65/65, x/10/10

3-Star (NA): Euryale, Level 70/70, 10/x/10 Robin Hood, Level 70/70, x/10/10 Cu Chulainn, Level 70/70, 10/10/x Gaius Julius Caesar, Level 70/70, 10/10/x Ushiwakamaru, Level 70/70, 10/10/x Alexander, Level 70/70, 10/x/10 Cu Chulainn (Caster), Level 70/70, 10/10/x Lu Bu, Level 70/70, 10/x/10 Medusa, Level 70/70, 10/10/10 David, Level 70/70, x/x/10 Charles Babbage, Level 70/70, 10/10/10 Hassan of the Hundred Faces, Level 70/70, 10/10/10 Tawara Tota: Level 70/70, 10/10/x Billy the Kid, Level 70/70, x/10/x Avicebron, Level 70/70, x/x/10

EOR Shinjuku Singularity: Section 17~END

And... I’m fucking done!!!! I’m FUCKING DONE FROM THIS TUTORIAL STAGE OF HP BAR! But most importantly, I’m done with Shinjuku story!! Emiya Alter now unlocked and can be spooked anytime... I’m... Going back to grind for QP OTL

Section 17

Greeted by Other James upon entering... Though there’s not much difference between the two, Other James commented he’s surprised that he even had a good side that opposed him. While Guda commented our James is a good friend, Other James doesn’t care as it was meant to be thrown away.

His focus was onto the Gudas, who got captured yet rescued with Holmes help. And now, returned back here to face him for the final fight. Wait? 3000 years? We only just met like now? Why would you have a 3000 grudge against us?

Either way, the meteor is definitely on its way into the gun barrel. A strange thing he chanted that he doesn’t want to die but yet values his plan more than his own life... Regardless, our first round of fight with Moriarty is here!!

Merlin definitely died at some point... But Leonidas’s taunt been keep both Vlad and Merlin alive for a long while! The RNG for skill and np seal, is not as headache as compared to JP. However... The Buff Removal RNG can still be shitty when it landed on the wrong person OTL

The defeat of the Evil Moriarty... Now the meteor shouldn’t be coming any closer to Earth! Huh? What do you mean it’s not over?! That’s right... There’s no Holy Grail around powering the meteor to come... What the... Da Vinci? What’s going--?!

A laughter from an unknown being appeared before them. And he knows the Gudas?! Goetia!!!?!?!! No, that’s not him, he’s definitely defeated... A DEMON GOD PILLAR?!?!?!!?!?!?! Yeah, I thought those were gone when we defeat Goeta!!

The Demon God Pillar before them confirmed they were indeed wiped out. So, the reason it came back was because... It hated us, a normal human like Gudas, destroyed all their plans. A normal human Guda that chanced upon joining Chaldea and eventually saved Humanity. Because of that, it wanted to destroy the whole world to kill us...

Apparently, Charles Babbage of this world was supposed to be one of the Demon God vessel! From there he calculated the knowledge he received of when the incineration of humanity will take place.

With its hatred, Demon God Bael planned and gained powers from 3000 years so this would happen. And for James... What...? James...? What are you...? He shot Holmes and...

Everything from this from the start... All of this... Even his splitting himself into two... Was to... HOLMES!!! He was shot right into his spirit Origin... HOLMES!!! What? His Spirit Origin isn’t gone? Moriarty took his Spirit Origin... And now he’s more complete than ever

Betraying us until this point... From the start with Shinjuku being told like out of a storybook, cutting off from the world and humanity. A fictional city when anything impossible can happened and exist... From there, both met and forged alliance in making their respective goals to get what they want.

Using the logic behind the 21 game, Holmes win by going second that’s how in their story James always lose. A story in their world, good always win and evil always lose. Because of their story that restricted them, that’s when James created the plan in joining us so he could win from there

As Artoria Alter vexed at not seeing sooner, something that no one could see. He erased his memory, hence resetting his own existence. Creating two version of himself, or using Bael was the evil one, they both played their role. Well, thanks for the help as always, Jerk!

Emiya Alter arrived and shot at Bael! Which... That was his goal all along?! Among the league that was summoned, he was without a doubt still on his role as the counter guardian to defeat the evil in this Singularity! With Emiya Alter joining us... He handle Bael, while we, got a round 2 to settle a score with Moriarty!

While I’m lucky most NP of them both hits either on Invincibility or Taunted target... The longest and worst is still fighting Bael himself. AOE Berserker could’ve been preferred... But I’m not risking it with James and Bael gimmicks in this

The defeat of the Demon God Pillar Bael is done! As Moriarty bid farewell to Bael... Bael too lament in regret and furious that he can’t killed the Gudas, yet laugh...? What do you mean the fate is sealed?!

It disappeared now leaving James who’s still on his plan for the meteor. It’s here right at the sky!! And we’ve moved?!!

Section 18

As James comments about this Singularity being a story... He mentions again about Der Freischutz being able to hit his target with six out of seven bullets. The seventh bullet was the grim reaper that killed the one he loved, one bullet that he was forced to shoot even he doesn’t want to.

The meteor confirmed being the seventh bullet and James with his Phantom Spirit... So the bullet.... IT WILL HIT THE GUDAS?! From his plan that involve Bael needing to kill him seriously... That way he earned Guda’s trust, and considered Gudas to be someone very precious to protect... AND THE SEVENTH BULLET WILL HIT THEM NO MATTER WHAT!

Now that it’s really coming towards Gudas, and Holmes is still being inside James... Both Emiya Alter and Artoria Alter left to intercept the bullet. The latter consoling they did nothing wrong, while Emiya Alter complimented at their calm determination despite what they learned

Chaldea is now able to force rayshift onto the Gudas now that the Shinjuku has a locked on their existence with the incoming bullet. Gudas asked if Moriarty regret this, both having no regrets to everything that come so far... A breeze... And blue-black flame with a well known laughter.... It’s the real Count of Monte Cristo, Edmond!!

And Jeanne Alter too! Thanks to Holmes’s advice in watching her feet, she saved herself by diving into the manhole to escape from Lobo! Not only that, Shakespeare is rescued! Hans is also here!! And something for us?

Confirming from James that Sherlock’s power is still within him, both William and Hans uses their Noble Phantasm to summon all the Detective spirits they could summoned to help us! Wait us? Sherlock planned for you guys in aiding us one way or another to defeat Moriarty?!

... Understood. As James finally took out the Holy Grail of this Singularity, the final battle of this Singularity began... James Moriarty, this is the end, it’s time to face your defeat! Your giant ghost of riddles vs our phantom ghost of detective to solve this mystery!!

Thank god for Xuangzang’s NP twice in killing Enigma first! That thing is a pain in the ass after my lesson learned in JP... But the real MVP of this fight, Leonidas. Cu helped in being the DPS later... But Leonidas is the real man, tanking and criting James until his death!

Compared to the fight Bael... Yeah, this one is more easier compared to Bael. Though near end... Merlin died since I ran out of options to stall James from his NP.

Overpowering him, we can defeat him this time! But, he uses the Holy Grail one last time to give him more strength... Not like we’re going to let it happen! By the power of the detective given to us as a borrowed Noble Phantasm... James Moriarty....

THE CULPRIT BEHIND THIS WHOLE FICTIONAL SINGULARITY IS YOU! Now that he’s been forced to admit he’s the culprit... The magical energy is now leaving him! James knows that even with all the detective on Gudas’s side, he could’ve win. Yet... Because he pretended to be a good guy, he acted so deeply into it... Without realizing, he became the mask of a good guy and had fun from it

The memories of their shenanigans from James, made him attached the feeling what was it like on the side of Justice.

And at Artoria’s and Emiya’s end, both are now able to destroy the meteor coming to them. Chaldea’s end, they still can’t get the Gudas out from the Singularity. A single shot imbued with his Noble Phantasm, Emiya’s bullet fired and destroyed the large meteor into smaller ones! Artoria Alter’s Excalibur Morgan blasted away the remaining pieces into nothingness! They saved the whole world!

Now at the League, James chuckled at even if they’re able to reach their goal. They were still content at what was the end result. James is about to return to the Throne of Heroes, apologizing for his action and admitting he really does enjoy their time together in his anmesia self. He also cursed at the Detective Spirits for causing his downfall

The detective spirits also took their leave too. James wondered if one of them meant sarcasm on finding happiness in the future. Though, that’ll mean you coming home to people’s chaldea despite being a fucking limited Servant here! YEah, we’ll entertain you big time so do come home then, James!

Now that he left, both Shakespeare and Hans left with their work overdue again. As for Edmond... He returned back to his tower, assuring if we need his help, he’ll come down again.

Leaving Jeanne Alter now... Well, you can be summoned anytime if you also don’t make yourself limited to. But oh well... Emiya Alter returned with giving message Artoria already riding off to somewhere once their mission completed. Emiya Alter bid us farewell not without saying we’ll need to pay him a fee if we needs his help once he’s summoned

On purpose without attempting to be honest herself... She’s finally honest in getting a dance with the Guda. Don’t even try to lie you want to get back at Artoria Alter. She’s doing a favor of trying to get what she wanted.

With a dance entertained, we rayshifted back home at last... Guda left off without telling Mash what happened, so she chase after them. Da Vinci orders the staff to analyze the Singularity now that it’s cleared... HUH?! WHAT THE HELL?! WHY THE FUCK ARE YOU HERE, HOLMES?!

Wait... Okay while he gets to stay... There’s still other pillars out there?! Three or rather four with an event counted as the main story.. They survived and escaped after the last Singularity. Even with Incineration of Humanity and this solved... is this foreshadowing of Part 2?!

Oh well, at least you can go do a favor in falsifying data to keep the Gudas safe. Even the staff agree on having genius will be a handful here...

Now in Shinjuku street, Artoria feeds Cavall II one last time before leaving. Here’s hoping a new owner or a free life will give him happiness! After than a narration about Shinjuku and the world ordeal itself... It’s over, Shinjuku Phantom case is finally solved!

Thoughts & Observation

Aniplex, couldn’t you just fucking give us this Singularity first instead of that fucking spartan lesson?!

Expected of tutorial stage, if you got majority of your Servants level at a decent one, it shouldn’t be that hard to fight against the gimmicks for this Singularity

The second round of Singularity with the use of Avenger Servants as enemy before a certain class kicks in. By the time with practice against Kingu and Gorgon... There should be ideas for team composition to deal neutral damage

Phantom & Christine

Apparently HP break for Christine doesn’t really equivalent she’s changing her class to shorten NP gauge

But dealing with both Berserker is hell regardless what version you’re in

Amusing that Phantom’s charm keep landing on the male support instead of Ishtar right there

Servants wise:

Your best AOE NP Servant from either Welfare or 3* should suffice to wipe them one shot

Healers definitely needed or support that buff defense because the moment Christine turned into a giant ghost, it’s when things start going shit when she fucking crits

CEs:

Kiyohime CE: I equipped this on Ishtar, so it helps a lot in killing Phantom once Christine is down

Charm resist CE: I don’t use it but well either skill of debuff resist or anything should suffice if Phantom’s charm does land on your Female Servant

Yan Qing

My only problem with him is his sudden NP tick. The front mobs weren’t an issue with Leonidas killing them asap

Gimmick on draining wasn’t also that much of a problem... Well except I need to start afresh because of needing Leonidas NP taunt to do so

Crit damage still a little painful... But whole problem is his NP charge giving either less time to get taunter ready or Merlin to pull up his AOE invincibility because no one where he’s going to hit

Servants wise:

If you don’t have Xuangzang, your best Servant in this is Medea. With the right team, you can get her to spam her NP often to remove his crit buffs. Her first skill also gave instant full NP charge when Yan Qing activated his gimmick upon entering his wave

For the front mobs, AOE Lancer or so should do the trick in wiping them out

AOE Caster can still work though their damage wise may not be as effective ST Caster

Taunters are definitely preferred in this fight, more or less to avoid Yan Qing’s NP to hit on your support & DPS

Support wise... I’d say 1 staller if you have, more or less to either stun or drain his NP if your taunter or AOE defense Servant isn’t ready

CEs:

Kiyohime CE: Practically this CE is mostly needed for this Singuarity

NP Seal: Works well for me, especially stalling wise on his NP

Taunts CE: In the case if you want him to focus on your taunters longer

Lobo

For his first round, DO NOT UNDERESTIMATE AND BRING A FULL TEAM FOR BOSS FIGHTING OTL

Even if his gimmick on defese down debuff failed, his normal attack let alone his crit hurts like a fucking bitch for an Avenger

Second round thank god being Rider still... Jeanne is my savior to protect from his NP + healing from Jeanne Alter’s burning field

Third round and fourth round... Taunters are really your best friend

This is definitely one of the most difficult fight thanks to his Avenger class and gimmicks

Servants wise:

Rider version: Shiki or your best ST NP Assassin to do the job in killing him. But taunters is needed still, because majority Assassin evasion isn’t effective with his NP effect.

Jeanne is viable for only Rider version with her NP to keep your team alive + healing together

Avenger version:

Euryale: Your best bet by far with Charm + NP staller, she can helped in delaying from his NP activated. But with her low HP on the problem, a good Caster support and Taunter can keep her alive

Proto Cu: My own Cu isn’t that good and needs more work... But effectively with his skills at the decent level + stats maxed out, he should be your best DPS against him

ST Berserker: At your own risk as the moment an Avenger crits.. It can be insta-death on them

CEs:

Kiyohime CE

NP Seal CE

Taunt CE: Because sometimes a normal attack will kill your support Caster in a blink of an eye

Insta-death resist CE: This is mostly if your RNG screw you badly on the final round... But otherwise if you’re lucky, it’ll always be a miss.

Emiya Alter

A one-time boss fight but... Don’t waste your time kill ALL 200 Hornets

Unlike a certain event coming, he doesn’t have any gimmicks. The battle ends with his HP bar break

Servants wise:

AOE/ST Lancer: Take your pick as your main target is to clear off his first HP layer

AOE/ST Berserker: Same as the reason above... Though the Hornets with Emiya Alter will kill them quickly before they can kill him

Taunters: With his NP being an ST type, bring one in to keep your DPS alive for this whole fight

CEs:

Kiyohime CE

Taunts CE

Defensive CE: If needed against the Hornets together

James Moriarty & Bael

NA feels easier... But among the 3 round, the worst one is still the one with Bael

Enigma was actually better this time unlike NA, but the party cost gave me limited setup choices for this fights

Bael:

The first unique Demon God Pillar that becomes the Avenger class in this EOR Singularity

His AOE normal attack helps a lot in buffing your team’s NP quickly, along with his crits too

I don’t remember him charging his NP by 1 tick... But at least thank god his NP has always landed on the taunted targets before the effect runs out

Servants wise:

AOE Lancer/Berserker: Being the second round fight with James, your AOE Lancer is preferred to fight with Bael and James. Unlike Berserker, if you picked Lancer for DPS, put your focus onto Bael since AOE NP from your Servant will hit James at the same time. But also unlike Berserker, they aren’t prone to dying faster from the class affinty

Taunters: His NP is immediate insta-death unless you got permanent Guts buff on your Servant. Use them as suicide scapegoat to avoid your support and DPS dying

CE:

Taunt CE

Attack Boost CE: This is before a certain class arrival, basic damage increase is welcome to deal against him

Defensive CE: For your AOE Berserker in this fight

Enigma:

I got no comments since I immediately two-shotted this giant ghost before anything can happened

Though thanks to this ghost, it’s the reason the final fight my party is having limited choice for Lancer DPS

Other than its AOE attack, it acts as Moriarty support for this whole fight. From draining your party’s NP, sealing them and their skill to charging James’s NP full when needed... Your main priority is to get rid it first before going after James

Servants:

Medea if you don’t have Xuangzang. Xuanzang is more of together with borrowed support Merlin + Shakespeare to 2 shot it gone

But Medea wise, can either double Tamamo (if you do have your own), or borrowed Waver to support her attack damage to kill it

AOE Caster also works... But not that recommended as preferred most damage will hit on Enigma to kill it quickly

AOE Berserker: If you’re using them, you’ll definitely want Enigma dead immediately or ASAP because class affinity

Martha Ruler & Scathach: For the Undead Trait it has for stronger Neutral damage

CE:

Starting NP CE: With the gimmick buff of charging your NP by 20% every turn + borrowed Support’s NP charging... It helps to use

James:

After JP’s lesson learned... He isn’t that difficult once you can keep your whole team alive against him

The first round is really RNG that’s thankfully kind to me... Skill and NP seal on random front-line Servant is tricky if you don’t where it lands.

But the main thing you want to spam often is your support’s NP rather than your DPS’s NP in all three round

Of course there’s buff removal by RNG luck.. Yeah, even Leonidas/George’s taunt are removable at that point

Second round, other than draining your stars, he isn’t much of a threat except acting like a support to Bael. With a good AOE DPS, you can focus on killing Bael first while the NP will then deal the damage on him

Third round with him being the DPS, he’s still a threat but as said above, your main focus is the massive ghost before going after him.

His HP Break will give him two times unexpected NP charge by 1 tick, so prepare your defense once he’s close

Servants wise:

Cu Chulainn: Everyone’s favorite doggo! Though I didn’t use him for this whole fight against James. I have Vlad that hit harder, but Cu is definitely the budget choice... Except be careful of his one turn that spams his ignore invincibility

Leonidas: My MVP for the whole fight with him. His own taunt NP and generating stars... He’s the real DPS before Cu kicks in the final round with his nice crit dealing damage at James

Other ST Lancers: Benkei (budget staller) & Diarmund (buff remover ST DPS, his second skill against female will definitely not work on him)

ST Berserker: First round should be fine.. But it’s still at your own risk, especially the second round onwards he has an ally with him on the field

Other Taunters: You definitely need them especially from his NP

CEs:

Kiyohime CE

His Rightful place/starting CE: This is mainly for Leonidas if you do plan to bring him on the field. He was initially a support just to get his NP start while generating stars... But become a DPS once Xuangzang died in the final round, with Merlin + Waver 2030 CE generating hell lots of stars for crit fest

NP Seal: For second round especially, if you can land it on James to delay his NP while killing Bael

And... I need QP because CBC is going to be very expensive or not if anyone is coming home. Or using that for Nobunaga event rerun because I got Waver and Dantes to raise!

#fgo #fate grand order #the shit I shit myself into #Shinjuku Singularity #shinjuku NA #yeah! no command seal used for this whole singularity!#time to go back grinding until CBC and Nobunaga event kicks in #and i need to go back to JP hell

Reflection Puah Jia Hui (A0160171U)

1. Introduction

Out of all the interesting lessons that we were introduced to each week, we found that “video games” is the most relatable topic as all of us have played video games before at least once in our lifetime, and we are still actively doing so. Thus, we believed that video game is the area we would like to explore in this final project and we hope to apply the concepts we learned in classes into the domain we interested in.

This project is a 2D mobile game on Android created using Unity with the objectives of being simple and addictive to players. We learned about OpenProcessing during the tutorials, and we believe that although the platform allows us to create digital art and video games within minutes effortlessly, it still has its limitations. Thus, we decided to build out game with Unity, the world’s leading real-time engine, due to its benefits: it’s free, multi-platform (Android, iOS, Windows) development, and the abundance of online tutorials for us to learn from scratch.

2. Connecting to ideas learnt

In week 2’s lecture of history and development of computation, we learnt that computers have evolved from single-purpose machines to universal computer (in which Charles Babbage is credited for the first computer design and Alan Turing being credited for the design’s realisation). An universal computer is a device that captures input and reacts according to the rules specified. A true universal computer is able to adapt and perform any function of other computers. The idea of universal computers being able to do virtually anything based on our codes is very intriguing to us. This invention allows us to work on the project in the first place, and we decided to use this creation to create a video game.

We learnt about many different kind of video games in week 4. Video games have evolved not just digitally, but also physically based on the machines that they are played on. Gaming machines have changed from 8-bit machines to home computers to home consoles to handheld consoles. Since video games on mobile phones have been more popular in recent times, we decided to use mobile devices as the platform for our project.

The rest of the concepts and ideas learnt are stated in subsequent sections.

3. Critical Analysis

Written Rhetoric

Written rhetoric is the art of how a creator/author can influence his or her audience through words. The instructions of the game are written clearly in text form, allowing the players to comprehend the mechanics and the objective of the game. The difficulty levels (i.e. easy, medium, hard) are written under each character in the character selection screen, where different character determines the difference in difficulty of the game.

Visual Rhetoric

It is necessary to analyse how non-verbal media, in image and video form, produces arguments, which is known as visual rhetoric. In our game, the three different characters were drawn in order to match their difficulty. The smallest character, a petite turtle, symbolizes the easiest difficulty. The average-sized lion determines the normal difficulty of the game. Finally, the big and oversized elephant signifies the hardest difficulty. The fruits laid out in the game asserts that they are beneficial to the players when collected. However, the threatening spiky durians would induce players to avoid them. The strength of the tiles spawning throughout the game are also symbolized by what they are made of. The first phase of the game spawns tiles made of ice which can be easily destroyed. After achieving certain points, tiles made from earth (i.e. soil and grass) are spawned which shows the difference in sturdiness when compared to ice tiles. Lastly, thick wooden tiles are spawned after the second milestone, emphasizing on the strength of the tiles’ endurance. The spikes on the ceiling and floor of every instance of the screen induces the fear of the character’s death, which the player should avoid.

Procedural Rhetoric

According to Bogost (2007), procedural rhetoric is the art of influencing through processes such as computational rules. The concept of procedural rhetoric could be applied to a large extent in our project especially because it is a video game. Firstly, each character falls downward with different speeds. The petite turtle falls the slowest, while the average-sized lion falls at normal speed, and the heaviest-looking elephant falling at the highest speed. The speed of each character is the main differentiation between each difficulty level. The number of hits required to break the tiles represents the strength of each tiles. The relatively fragile ice tiles requires 1 hit to break, earth tile requiring 2 hits, and the sturdiest wooden tiles requiring 3 hits. The different number of fruits collected affects the final outcome (I.e. score) of the game. The fresh fruits collected by the player increase the score, while the score decreases when the player hits the spiky durians. Touching the spikes at the edges of the screen immediately ends the game.

4. Four Affordances

Janet H. Murray’s four affordances are used to describe the different functional properties of a digital medium (Murray, 2011).

Spatial

Low: Spatial affordance refers to information repository that can be navigated through virtual space. The virtual space is technically endless in our project, as the background and position of the character continues to move until the game ends. However, the frames and background are actually the same, thus it doesn’t show that the game is very spatial virtually.

Encyclopedic

Low: Encyclopedic affordance refers to the amount of information stored in various forms. Other than the instructions and character names, the project does not have any information.

Participatory

Medium: Participatory Affordance refers to the input from organism action used to create interactivity. Due to the nature of the project, user inputs from mobile phones’ touchscreen are crucial for controlling the game. However, user inputs are not entirely necessary for the game to run. Even if there is no input from the user, the character still moves downwards (although the game would end very quickly though).

Procedural

Medium: Procedural affordance refers to the executable rules. The game reacts according to the different conditions met during the gameplay. The character swerving left and right and pressing the “dig” button to break the tiles are examples of the rules coded into the game. Due to the game being fairly simple and straightforward, it does not have many complex executable rules, thus the medium “score”.

5. How does it make use of the new abilities of computers?

Because of the advancement of computer over the years, development projects are becoming easier and quicker to develop with new software, libraries and frameworks. Unity Engine allows us to test our source code on the go and also let us share our codes between each other easily through Unity Collaboration. This is achievable through the largest network of computers – Internet. The internet connects our machines together for us to communicate and share codes.

Although we do not have enough knowledge, we have thought of ways to implement new abilities of computers in the future. One example could be to convert our project from using graphical user interface to using tangible user interface. We believe that it would increase the interactive aspect of the game if the players are able to control the digital game through physical environment. An example would be changing the game for the character to jump on tiles to move upwards. The character would jump upwards in different directions, and players would have to place physical blocks on the interface to prevent the character from dropping downwards.

Another implementation would be virtual reality. The idea of allowing the player to be immersed in the digital world allows for a whole new experience. This enables the player to experience the falling sensation to a certain extent, increasing the entertainment value of the game.

6. How does it build off other projects you have seen?

During the phase of brainstorming, my group members and I talked about the games that we have played before. “Icy Tower” is one of the projects that came to mind. It is a game where the character jumps on tiles to reach high levels. The player loses should the character falls off and touch the bottom of the screen. Instead of the character jumping upwards, we decided to modify the game and let the character fall downwards in our project.

Other features of the game were inspired by the different game projects on OpenProcessing discovered during our tutorials. We picked up the syntax of programming languages (E.g. JavaScript) along the way and use that knowledge in our project. We have also discovered some games created with Unity Engine. Due to the limitations of OpenProcessing, we decided to use Unity Engine as the platform for our project and occasionally use Unity projects as reference.

7. Conclusion

Throughout the course of this project, I’ve picked up C# and how to use the Unity Platform. Although the language is new to me, it didn’t take much time for me to adapt to it due to me having knowledge of Java. The project allows me to apply many interesting concepts learnt in lectures and tutorials and also enables me to understand them more deeply. The idea of using an universal computer to develop programs is very intriguing and I hope to use it to create digital mediums of a different category, such as digital art and digital fabrication, in the future.
