I FINALLY beat the last screen of this damn level! I'm so proud of myself 😛 The first couple minutes are some frustrating failed attempts, and then (at 2:45)... I finally finish it and get to see Granny one last time 😃

So naturally, I tried it out 😃 They have an in-browser version (I'm assuming some kind of WASM build) that I played in full-screen.

It was fun. You can see me struggling at various points to understand how the game works. My memories of the old-school Roller Coaster Tycoon must be hazy. But eventually I got the hang of it. I still don't know how to stop people from vandalizing my benches, trashcans, and lights though. And it doesn't look like you can adjust prices at vendors, so you just... lose money until you go bankrupt I guess?

Here's an example I captured and analyzed today, Thursday December 16 2021. This sort of stuff makes me not want to play 😦

Every now and then, I give it a couple attempts. Was so damn close this time 😦

And I just found out there's also the "moon berry" at the end of this level. Not sure if I'll ever bother trying for that at this point.

I've played quite a bit of #stardewvalley throughout the #pandemic. But my hours pale in comparison to some of the screenshots I've seen of thousands of hours played. I also tend to run out of steam once year three hits. But the 1.5 update was released a few months back, and now I'm trying to complete the Fern Island stuff.

Honestly, this video is more for my own posterity than for any public purpose.

Incidentally, I'm pretty sure this clip is an example of Halo Infinite's current de-sync/netcode problems. The third kill at least is definitely odd. It looks like my last shot (the one with the red flare around the reticle) was shooting way off his head, and yet I got the red flare and the kill. Maybe the reticle updates are out of sync? Like the shot before the red flare one was actually the fourth one that killed him, and he should have dropped before getting around the wall? Dunno.

This is an annoying Halo Infinite crash that only seems to happen on ranked games (because of course it's only on ranked games). You can't re-join either. So your rank auto-drops, and your team suffers.
