Robi might have been inspired by my heroic tales of a solo emissary for the Order of Souls and wanted to run that today. It went somewhat well. Not as fruitful as Robi might have hoped, but we can't control random events at the end of the day. Stefi wanted to join, but we were on a Sloop and a ridiculously stacked Storage crate on level 5 emissary, so I tagged out to let Stefi in then I fucked off to Stardew Valley.

I did something quite adventurous. Something I thought I'd never do. I set sail on the High Seas alone. Robi wanted to play a bit, but due to technical difficulties on the second PC, we had to play HotS instead. That bothered me, so I tried to fix the issue after Robi headed off for the night unsuccessfully. I couldn't let Microsoft win with their incompetence, I launched the game on my own PC and it ran fine. And then the idea sparked. Why shouldn't I try playing alone? Just this once...
With that, I realized I don't own a Sloop, so I fixed that little issue. I wanted to name it Sloop-Niggurath as a lovecraftian homage. It wouldn't let me.
I tried Ship-Niggurath. It wouldn't let me. This time I actually read the error message. It said it was offensive. I realized it's probably the "nigg" part. Fair. I also realized how H. P. Lovecraft came up with this particular name... I tried it with one G, same issue, so I dropped it. Probably for the better. Therefore, I named her Dagon's Blessing.
I immediately slapped on the Order of Souls emissary flag as Robi never wants to play that, and I enjoy genociding skeletons.
I selected the simplest voyage and completed it fairly quickly. After that, I chose a slightly longer one, the one with the three skeleton captains. That was more of a challenge. After I was done with that, that's when I noticed it... Shining in beautiful turquoise! A Ghost Fort! Why not? How hard could it be? Turns out, not hard at all.
I dive bombed in, disembarked, murdered the inhabitants and cleaned the place out.
It was fun, but everything has to end at some point. My flag was level four, and so I headed to Plunder Outpost. I didn't even check how much I earned, I was just happy that I pulled it off.

0h 30m

Two games as Valla with Robi.

1h 15m

We met Moon Baboon. Sometimes I was tiny, sometimes I was big... Rebeka was running all over the place, including walls and ceilings... Now, after fucking up the Space Monkey, we made contact with Rose and as responsible parents, we hatched a perfect plan to make our already traumatized and heavily depressed only-child to cry.

I can't get through this stupid stage. It's at night, on asphalt, and raining.

I wanted to continue my peaceful series of political assassinations where I've left off when I realized that last time I aggro'd everyone in the goblin establishment. I desperately tried everything to successfully get away with mass murder by the barrel based improvised explosive device and some quick stealth kills, but no matter what I try, the rest of the inhabitants instantly try to kill me. I tried... Disappointing.

Finished

And that's the end of the Bioshock 2 saga. I'm gonna be honest, I was mildly intrigued by the plot of this central AI thing, but I wasn't as invested until the last 1 hour or so. There's not much to say. A beautiful story overall. Farewell, Pearl!

Eventful day on the High Seas. First off, we met Stefi's new character. Unfortunately, due to Microsoft's expected but always overachieving incompetence, she had to make a new one. Also, unfortunately, her new character is blind in one eye. That's not Microsoft's fault, that's just Syphilis. Common amongst the seafaring folk.
Anyway, so there we were, the three of us, me, new Stefi, and Captain Robi, waiting on the fourth Scallywag, Napsi. She said she would join us, but we all were a bit doubtful, nevertheless, we rolled out the Galleon, expecting her to join at some point. Spoiler, she never did. Therefore, we had to, or more precisely, Cpt. Robi had to wrangle the Stephanie, the giant floating beauty.
We put on the Gold Hoarder flag and headed off to find this fabled Vault. It's been a minute since we last ventured on a voyage such as this, or any kind of voyage, to be honest, but we fairly quickly got into the old habit. After we found the island we were looking for, we spotted a lone Sloop at the beach of our destination. We circled around to be safe and also to not appear threatening. I stepped foot on the island to locate the Vault Entrance and possibly to either greet or just observe our fellow visitor of this island. However, before I could even spot our friend, I saw their ship leaving, and leaving with the only rowboat on the island at that. We circled around with the Stephanie and entered the vault. Cpt. Robi solved the riddle and Pvt. Stefi used her parkour skills to maximize our profits. Transferring the loot from the Vault to the Ship was an annoying process without a rowboat but slagging off our absent privateer, Napsi, made for a good pastime activity while doing manual labor.
Unfortunately, we didn't reach level 5 emissary, so we had to make a detour to find some buried treasure.
In the end, we made around 150K in gold and most importantly, we had a good time.

0h 45m

We met two nice lesbians with a pride flag on their ship. They were very friendly. We showed our pets to each other, we played music danced and drank grog. I wish there were more like them.

Okay, so Hammer drugged Powers and stole the costume. The kid saw the Steel Samurai at Studio 2 losing to the bad guy. My homework is: Why did Hammer steal the costume, and who killed him and why?

It turns out Hammer wanted to kill Vasquez for blackmailing him over an accident 5 years ago. He wanted to pin it on WP out of jealousy. Additionally, Edgeworth has a heart. Or maybe just a conscience.
