[ERIS]: Downtime Edition: Tricks

>You sleep for what seems like forever, it’s a pleasant sleep though. No nasty dreams, this time of year you don’t even have to worry about overheating or going cold from too much or too little cover. All in all, a very restful night.

>After getting some quick breakfast you hop back onto your computer to see what you’ve missed out on. Seems your chat group has been busy and you’ve gotten a new video notification. Putting the chat aside for the time being, you load up the video.

>Seems like a new save file for the sun god run has started making rounds in the community. Must be a big breakthrough or something. The sun god run is a strange thing, no one’s ever beaten it and a huge part of the fanbase is still trying to even this far out in the game's release. You’ve tried the run once or twice, but like everyone else you’ve failed.

You spend a few minutes watching the video, apparently some new kid “You” is trying the sun god run on their first playthrough of the game, not the best decision but hey they have some guts at least, and have actually discovered something that could help end the run. Something about a white snake like character “Sunny” or something, you stop paying attention a little ways in. These videos are always clickbait anyway. You may as well open up your group chat and see how they're doing...

QueenMinty: Guys holy shit, have you seen this? There’s been like, a breakthrough on the sun god run apparently??

QueenMinty: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=06OzHwkV3bA

QueenMinty: Like holy shit??

AbsoluteTrash: Minty what the fuck?

AbsoluteTrash: A: Everyone knows about that shit already

AbsoluteTrash: B: That video isn’t even the right one?? Like damn it’s 2017 those memes are older than Hemeras’.

AbsoluteTrash: And C: **I** WAS THE ONE WHO SHARED THE SAVE FILE. Like, seriously.

BaronCrisps: Oh, fuck me. I clicked on it.

BaronCrisps: When am I going to learn to not trust Mintys’ links...

AbsoluteTrash: R I P.

QueenMinty:Lmaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaao

QueenMinty: rly tho.

AbsoluteTrash: Ok but no seriously though, this junk could actually be a huge breakthrough. And it all came from some new kid who’s never even played the game. Like what the heck right? Here we all are, trying to figure out this nonsense gamemode for-freaking-ever, and this kid “You” comes along and just makes a breakthrough his first go round.

AbsoluteTrash: Oh and to make this even more terrible, it turns out that the breakthrough was through SHEER LUCK. LIKE WHAT THE HECK?

CopperDraws: To be fair...that’s about 90% of this game……

CopperDraws: Bullshit luck.

YandereHelios: He’s not wrong.

AbsoluteTrash: Ok I’ll concede that much. But come on! The best progress we’ve made was that one dude who spent their entire universe breeding a max luck geck! And even then that didn’t work! This. Could be. IT. THE BIG ONE.

QueenMinty: k, but like. How many of us actually care anymore? The sun god run is unwinnable.We may as well just like, spend time playing the fuggin’ game trashy. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

FightRobot1: Ok ok ok ok ok okokookokokokok. BUT.
FightRobot1: Lunchables tho.

FightRobot1: Think about that.

FightRobot2: FUCKING KID CUISINE THOUGH

FightRobot2: FUCK LUNCHABLES. KC IS WHERE. THAT. SHIT. IS.

FightRobot1: LUNCHABLES

FightRobot2: KID CUISINE

FightRobot1: LUNCHABLES

FightRobot2: KID CUISINE

FightRobot1: LUNCHABLES

FightRobot2: KID CUISINE

FightRobot1: LUNCHABLES

FightRobot2: KID CUISINE

AbsoluteTrash: Christ.

>You tab out of the group just as Trash DM’s you.

AbsoluteTrash: Protip: Stay outta group for a while. Nothing good happening there.

Thou: I….I saw.

AbsoluteTrash: Good.

AbsoluteTrash: So what’s up man, how’s the game going and junk? You were playing until death o clock last night.

AbsoluteTrash: Game that good?

Thou: Eh, kind of weird. I ran into some of the dev AI.

AbsoluteTrash: Gross. Did they give you that nonsense about “Oh you are the worst type of person blah blah blah” That crap?

Thou: Not this time. I just saw two of them through culture god powers, and then Cookie was disguised as one of my crew members. Sobek, of course.

Thou: Apparently my mods destabilized some sort of limbo god trap or something? Some like, limbo god concept that must have been left in but got cut pre release or something. Idk. I’ve just been spending the last few minutes adding more mods. You can never go wrong with more mods.

Thou: Except when you do.

Thou: Then it's the "Deactivate mods until something works" game.

AbsoluteTrash: Oh shit yeah yeah I know this one,

AbsoluteTrash: Growth or something or other.

AbsoluteTrash: Eventually got cut because man the devs are awful.

AbsoluteTrash: Remember back when that was just a running joke? “Oh man yeah the devs are terrible haha lmao” but now it's just like, yeah. We get it. They’re awful. Its like hanging out with Nike too long, just gets old.

Thou: Pretty much.

Thou: So, wait, you know about this cut god?

AbsoluteTrash: Wouldn’t you like to know.

AbsoluteTrash: ;)

Thou: Seriously? You’re gonna pull this “You gotta pay for that info” on me trashy?

AbsoluteTrash: Hey I gotta get my jollies somehow. :,>

AbsoluteTrash: So what’cha got for me? I normally want sun god info but you don’t care about that soooooooo, drop me some mad info on your modded run?

>She always does this, the moment you want info on something it's a hostage situation. At least she’s being lenient and not asking for sun god run info, she knows you don’t care about that much.

You start typing up a response as you download new mods and update some old ones.
