The Advantage of Mechanics

Student "edition" found at {thoughts dot com slash typed no space out no space loud slash blog}.

Maybe I shouldn't have started this blog now, not with everything that's been going on.

Let me talk about something not school related for now. I need the distraction, or at least the semblance of discussing frivolity.

In the browser based game that I am playing that I have mentioned here before, I have increased enough in level so that I can now reincarnate, in their approximation of such, as a robot.

This robot does not need to eat to start out with renewed stamina, but he can eat the meat he kills.

And he does not need to go to the hospital to heal. Instead, he goes on standby to be repaired.

Because he is made of machine parts, he also has an increasing heat level. That means that if this reaches critical, the machine will shut down and quote unquote die, and still go to the fail boat.

But, to prevent that, the character can also go on standby until it cools, which happens simultaneously with the repairs.

So far, this is the best for me because unlike the previous incarnations, where I have to continuously eat so as not to slowly die of malnutrition, and I never start out with 100 stamina except at the start, here I always start out with more than 100 stamina every subsequent day of the game.

On a side note, I guess that means that in the game I have to eat at the fancy restaurants and not cook by my own hand to regain full stamina, although I do not need to in the past. Starting out with 87.5% stamina is enough for me to get enough experience and cash a day to advance.

Right now the situation is opposite: I rarely go below 50% in stamina before the day turns over.

What I noticed though is that now the heat level does not even have to go up to 25% before it starts to break down.

What I wonder is if this will continue until I get to the highest possible level, or if I should tone down my body strength (which, being a robot, is actually adjustable, but not in the middle of combat).

What I also noticed is that two of the skills that I got from my last incarnation, insults and confusion, are still with me, although it now progressively takes more out of my stamina to use it.

@@ Okay, I get it that the student affairs secretary is in a panic because her mind is elsewhere, her husband having undergone surgery this morning. But to just text me that there are no people in the auditorium and asking what do we do now is just leaving too much to me.

I have a class right now (and the director of the school of engineering is actually here) and I cannot just pay attention to my class, take care of this visitor and worry about their problem at the same time.

@@ And it seems that the college faculty members, given the resolution to recent conflicts, are still bitter and do not want to congratulate the brother president on his silver jubilee next week for the video.

Session 2873 thinks that is a good attitude to show to the students about holding a grudge. Class dismissed.
