I spendmost of Thursday playingThe Stones of Ayor 4and talking to Damien, only taking a break when he stops to do his usual afternoonSOA3stream. Which I also watch.
A few people ask him if he’s started playing Four yet, and he explains that he wants to do a full play-through on his own before streaming any.
“Besides, I’d like to wait at least a month before sharing anything about the game, you know?” he says with a casual shrug as he tries to hop his character up the sheer side of a mountain. “Spoilers.”
I set down the bowl of cold cereal I’m currently eating as my late-afternoon lunch to type up a quick response in the stream chat.
OddlyAdored: Thank you, River Song
He leans towards his screen to read more of the messages coming in and then smiles a little before sitting back. “You’re welcome, Oddly.”
I tuck my feet up onto my chair, my thick socks bunchingaround my ankles, and pick up my cereal bowl to continue eating while I watch his character jog in mid-air as he tries to get over an invisible wall. He eventually gives up and finds a different way around.
“Oh, look who we have here,” he says, coming across a well-dressed Cliff Gnome near a sketchy-looking cave. This NPC is infamous, and people are already yelling in the chat.
SpacePudding: SCONES NO
KarlachsBitch: uh oh rip lol
LinkFarts: razzzzzyyyyyyyyy
“I don’t know what you guys are talking about,” Damien says innocently as he starts a dialogue with the gnome. “ThisRasmundseems like a fine gentleman. He just wants me to go into this creepy-ass cave and get his family heirloom. What’s the harm in that?”
NeverSayCheetos: bruh
“Hmm. Chat: do we trust him?” he continues, pausing outside the cave entrance. “And no meta-gaming here, all right? Would you trust ol’ Raz here if you met him at the side of the road or not?”
OddlyAdored: I’d totally trust him and you should definitely go in that cave.
He stops to read again. “See, Oddly trusts him,” he says. “And Oddly wouldn’t steer me wrong. She knows her shit.”
SpacePudding: FFS at least get your crossbow out man
HadTrash93: As soon as he aggros The Angel he’s dead, this guy is too squishy
OddlyAdored: If you use a Stealth potion and disable all the traps in the left corridor, you can bypass most of the minions and sneak up on The Angel without her waking up. In theory.
Damien opens his inventory on screen and scrolls through his list of potions, but there are none for stealth, so he looks through his other items. “I have boots with an extra two percent Stealth,” he says. “D’you think that’s enough?”
OddlyAdored: RIP Scones
I stay up way toolate on Thursday night as well, and by Friday morning I am a disgusting, crusty shell of a human. I shower for the first time in two days, pull on some leggings and a t-shirt, and then throw another oversized grandpa cardigan over it to call it an outfit. At least I only need to work in the back of the shop today, so hardly anyone should see me.
The morning drags on forever, with two days of online orders to catch up on, but I finally get them all packed up and ready to ship out, and Mom lets me skip out early to get back to my game.
