Silver and gold crowns are markers for a monster’s size. Especially large and small monsters are marked with these crowns in the compendium, which has been a stable in the series for a very long time. It doesn’t give you anything except an achievement, but it’s also much easier to do in Wilds. Previously, you learned a monster’s size after you hunt it. In Wilds you have binoculars that reveal this information beforehand, so you can just quickly check every monster in the area.
Mostly Monster Hunter Wilds this week. I’ve been grinding for gold crowns, which I have never done in another game before. I can’t explain why I’m doing this, some bug just bit me and made me do it.
In Fallout 3, I’ve done everything in the metro maze I’ve been wanting to do for now. I’ll still have to go through one soon, but what matters is that I’m back in the actual world!
Speaking of being bitten by weird bugs, I’ve been wanting to play Mario Kart World again for the first time since release for no apparent reason. I haven’t done it yet, but it’s on the table…
In the book, what got him in the end was using a baby as a human shield from a would-be assassin. Be honest, would Trump’s supporters care?
AFAIK they’re optional, but I’m sure there’s some kind of reward that’ll be worth it.
Made more progress in Visions of Mana. I wish the game had more boss fights and fewer trial battles with time limits. I started lowering the difficulty for them because I just don’t have the damage output to finish them in time on Hard. And I don’t think your party members are very good at fighting, either. Bosses are fun because you actually have to dodge attacks. Normal battles just don’t have any depth to them.
I’m lost in the metro network of Fallout 3. I remember not liking it when I first played the game, but the DC city area with its isolated sub-areas you can only access via sewers and metro lines is an absolute pain in the rear.
At least I have the Anchorage quest behind me, the Fallout DLC for people who wish they weren’t playing Fallout. Crazy rewards though, I now have armor that makes me invisible when I’m crouched. I knew it existed, but I expected it to have some kind of limit or cooldown. But it’s just busted and its base defense is on par with what I had before, too. I almost don’t want to use it, but invisibility has always been my favorite power, so I find this very entertaining~
The alarm clocks inside better say ‘Hey, you. You’re finally awake.’
I don’t expect to actually finish the crowns, to be honest. I still have other grinding to do and resetting the world for crowns is a good excuse to get a Lagiacrus with a guaranteed Sapphire drop to spawn.
