Satisfactory Success 2

 


Same start location as my first success but this time I managed to complete the final turn in in only 51 hours! Compared to my previous win of 66 hours! I also went on to get the golden nut! I did leave the game playing a bit and played a bit more. Total play time to get the nut ~80 hours! 
















David - 95%

 


Watched in the theatre with my family. Pretty good music and animation. Kids liked it. Fairly true to the bible, added / changed a little to make it more family friendly. 

Zootopia 2 - 95%

 


Watched with the family in theater. Pretty good, lots of laughs and just enough story. Really liked the Ratatouille reference. Pretty amazing how none of the animals have to eat. Good kids movie. 

POE LS Jugg - 100%

 


Fantastic clear, tanky and good boss! Best all around build played in a while! 




Very expensive build. Stacking int and dex is a challenge but didn't cost much to be an effective build and the sky is the limit. so very fast. Easy to get DPS in the millions. To upgrade this gear any more is 70 divs a slot so I quit after putting only about 30 divs into the build. Easy to get more currency just going for the Strongboxes. 






POE Elemental Reap - 90%

 


Very smooth through the campaign. It was a bit squishy until I got the Poet's Pen. Turned out to be the most popular build of the season. The breach tree started out good but didn't give much after a couple of patches. This build was expensive due to being so popular... Couldn't believe how much it deflated. The Dark Monarch cost me 6 divines but then wasn't worth but like 1 a week later. OK clear speed and could handle low level bosses ok but nothing uber at all.   




Catch up 2025

I got behind on my blog due to moving from Michigan back to Alabama. I could have kept up with it but I didn't. Watched lots of movies and played more POE. Not going to make a post for everything that was missed but here are some of the highlights:

POE 2

  • Played a Deadeye during the Rise of the Abyssal season. Turned out to be my computer RAM was bad so the game played really smoothly. Flew through the campaign with the Deadeye and stopped somewhere around level 85. Got bored in the endgame. The abys was pretty good. Didn't bother to play another character. 

POE 1

  • Played the Mercenaries league. It was OK. The mercenary is just there to provide another aura. RF Chieftain to level 95 and a Smite of divine judgement Trickster to level 90.  

Shows

  • Dr. Stone season 1 and 2, working on 3. It has been pretty good but has fizzled a good bit in season 3.  Watched with my wife. 
  • Solo Leveling Season 2 - 100%. Kinda didn't want to see the ants again, just like in Hunter X Hunter. 
  • Jujutsu Kaisen - Season 1 and 2 with my wife. Really good anime. 100%
  • Demon Slayer - Season 3 and 4 with my wife. Amazing anime! 100%
  • Apothecary Diaries - Season 1 and 2 with my wife. 100%. Much better than I thought it would be. 
  • Dan Da Dan - Season 1 and 2. 1 was good but 2 was not so much. By the end, I was just watching it for no reason... 
  • My Hero Academia - Season 7. Really great, like 98%. Glad this show is coming to an end. 

Movies

  • Jujutsu Kaisen Execution - Shoulda skipped it. Music and animation was amazing but otherwise to much review and preview. 
  • Demon Slayer first movie with my wife. Too much backstory! Too much of a wait for the next one.. but the animation was really good. 
  • Superman - Boring, calling out the number for what punch to throw was pretty dumb. 
  • How to train your dragon live action. Pretty good.. 
  • Wicked For Good - Watched with the family. Not my favorite movie.. 
  • Lilo and Stitch - Live action. Watched with the family. Much better than I thought it would be. Maybe the best live action adaptation from Disney. Like a 95%
  • Alien Romulus - 85%. Not a great movie but the dad jokes were good. Especially the one about why did the blind man fall in the well?... he didn't see that well!! 
I am sure I forgot some...
