Atlas Reactor Season Finale

-
Atlas Reactor shut down on 28th June 2019, 3pm Kuala Lumpur time. I don't know the reaasons behind it but most could guess that it wasn't attracting enough funds. It was already dying more than 6 months ago when they stopped providing new stories, freelancers and map.

Its game mechanic was unique and required lots of thinking (mostly on anticipation), unlike some other button-smashing games. I loved it for that but more importantly for its community, who was largely a friendly lot (I did have many players on my blocked list though haha) and the friends I made. I was amazed to learn that it helped some friends through tough times of their lives (depression, eating disorder, self-harming, ptsd, abusive relationship).

Because I was going to visit the dentist and GP the next day, I had planned my last hours of play, and saying goodbyes, on 27th June. Here's the last planned game:



Freelancers level, master skins, favourite skins, favourite mod sets (also recorded on 27th June):



However, I managed to get in a few more hours of play on 28th and it ended with:



I am still keeping in touch with some online friends via Discord and Steam (a couple of them added me on Battle.net too). I doubt there would be another game like Atlas Reactor, not for a long while. Goodbye, AR.

Fell Seal: Arbiter's Mark - character build (Part 1)

-
Here are the character builds for my current run (with the help of Ban): Kyrie Fellblade/Marked Counter: Slow Secondary passives: Execute, Life Font Fellblade itself is a good class because of the various conditions it can inflict and most importantly they can inflict Sleep. Iirc, the only other human class that can do this is Gadgeteer. Their passive Malice increases the chance of landing it by 10%. Fellblade pairs well with Marked because both use ATK and MND in their offensive abilities. Also, Fellblade's abilities are mostly short range whereas Marked has some long range abilities. Execute for more damage. Life Font is for suvivability. Ban opined that with two healers, there's no need for Life Font but I discover that it enables Kyrie to survive just enough for a healer to heal her up, after having received massive damage. Ban advocated for Marked/Fellblade for superior Speed (1.00 vs 0.92) and defense (heavy armor). I resisted this for a long time because I

Fell Seal: Arbiter's Mark - character build (Part 2)

(continue from Part 1 ) Yates Anatomist/Wizard Counter: Cripple Secondary passives: Blessed One, Smart Casting Anatomist is the best healer in game due to the passive Legendary Healer, which also then boost the amount of self-healing by Blessed One. Although Ban thinks Anatomist's Dark spells are sufficient in dealing damage and so he suggests Alchemyst as Yate's secondary class, I choose Wizard for the following reasons: Quite often, demonic creatures have Dark immunity and other creatures have immunity to other elements. So having Dark, Water, Fire, Earth and Thunder spells enable Yates to cast the most suitable spell, especially when the enemies are vulnerable to certain elements. Flexible casting :) Smart Casting is useful so that I don't need to worry much about the positioning of the enemies relative to my other characters when using Mass Healing and the area effect damage spells. As stated in previous post , there "are so many devastating Skill ba

Strange expectorant

An expectorant cough syrup helps you to prevent phlegem from going to your lungs by expelling it via coughing or so I heard from doctors and pharmacists. That's why for cough that's caused by phlegm, it is not advisable to take suppressant cough syrup. Given that's the role, do you expect it to be drowsy? It should be non-drowsy so that you will be actively coughing out the phlegm, right? Not this Unizet expectorant. The doctor told me that it shouldn't be drowsy and yet some of his patients (including me) reported otherwise. I read the detailed information (on the piece of paper typically stuffed inside the box) and nowhere it indicated drowsiness as a side effect. Strange, huh?
