Resurrected from the dead. It's difficult to imagine that Michael Salser's incredible Viper Snakeskin Green 1972 Chevrolet Camaro began as a rusted out mess, because now it is a Goodguys Muscle Machine of the Year contender. It's powered by a 600HP 416ci Watson Ruppel Performance LS mated to a Bowler Performance Transmissions-prepped Tremec T56 six-speed manual transmission and rides on Detroit Speed suspension, Baer brakes, BFGoodrich g-Force Rival S tires, and 18x11/18x12 Forgeline forged three piece GA3C wheels finished with Titanium centers & Polished outers!

girl dreams that shes isekaid into an rpg world, and indulges the lack of a buffer the game has that keeps you from using healing items at max health

A dream doesn't have to make sense.

It can start at any time.

So who cares when, where, or why a young heroine is wandering through the depths of the woods seeking adventure? All that matters is the here and now, trekking through the woods on a quest.

As she pushes past a tree branch, trying to get through the dense underbrush, it snaps back. Striking her in the face, she yelps out in pain as it knocks her back onto her butt.

"Ow..."

Grumbling to herself as she watches a number float above her head, a "-1" fading from sight, she looks at the back of her hand. "119/120 HP". She needs to be careful in these woods, dangerous monsters lurk around every corner, and a different of one hit point can make all the difference. Reaching into her pack, she uncorks a healing potion and takes the tiniest sip.

"+2".

Blinking as she looked between the number floating over her head and the one on the back of her hand, the young adventurer was at 121HP now. Licking her lips as an idea came to mind, she tipped back the rest of the bottle. Chugging it down. More numbers floated over her head, rising higher and higher as she drank the bottle down, until she tossed aside the empty potion.

150/120HP.

Smiling to herself, the adventurer rooted around for more bottles in her pack, pulling out healing potion after healing potion. Starting to drink them down, she was more concerned with the green numbers floating over her head than the state of her body. Each bit of excessive healing thickened her body up, her thighs straining in her leather armor as her belly shoved up against the corset, a flat stomach blowing up into a gradually growing gut.

300/120HP

As bottle after bottle passed her lips, her hips only grew wider, spreading across the ground as tears opened in her clothes. The adventurer didn't even bat an eye as her gut slapped against her legs as it tore through her outfit, flopping into her lap as it sloshed full of potion. Even as her doughy arms grew fatter, she kept drinking.

600/120HP

Huffing, belching softly as a bit of cherry red liquid dribbled past her lip, she hiccupped. Sloshing as she hit 600HP and 600lbs, the young woman rose to her feet. Rummaging through her pack again, the straps straining on her thickened shoulders, she tugged free a scroll. Something to heal her own time. Reciting the spell, she smiled to herself, confident at the constant +5s appearing over her head.

Stepping forward, she did have to stop though. Before her lithe hips could easily move between the trees, but now? Wedged tight between two trunks, she was stuck, only getting more firmly caught as her hips grew wider. Her belly hanging lower and lower, she gasped as the number above her head just to +10. +20. +30.

Rising exponentially, she panicked as every part of her body continued to billow outwards. Too big! Too fat! Fatter, and fatter, and fatter, and-

Bolting away in her bed, sweating nervously, she glanced around. Her normal bedroom, her normal size, with everything as it should be. Laying back down, the woman stared up at the ceiling, one hand idly rubbing her belly.

...

She should get up and get a big breakfast.

Finished the True Vide fight!

I'm going to just talk about how it went for me below the jump.

Short version: This was so hard. I died so much. I had so much fun and am basking in the glow of octopathic euphoria right now.

---

My party: [Phase 1] Armsmaster Castti (level 82) Cleric Agnea (level 80) Merchant Throné (level 80) Thief Ochette (level 82)

[Phase 2] Inventor Partitio (level 80) Merchant Hikari (level 76) Dancer Osvald (level 80) Dancer Temenos (level 80)

---

There were lots of fun tricks to this fight, but by far the most glaring was the punishing power of the Hellbound each time a tentacle dies. Four of them each for 3-4000 on most characters even at level 80. You can't start attacking the core until all tentacles are dead, and if you spread out the tentacle kills by even a bit, one will respawn while you're busy finishing the others and the loop will never end. And, by the way, Vide can do 4000 damage flat, ignoring defense, if there's only one tentacle left, so you better get that break right after the tentacles die.

Divine Protection (which Hikari gets from the one 10-star difficulty nun in Canalbrine), which can be stacked 4 at a time on the entire party, can effectively block this for one phase. But there are two, and you have to use an entirely different party for the second one. I was hoping to use Temenos' Prayer for Plenty to heal for 9999 on the second phase and tough it out.

I tried this. The quad Hellbounds did 12k for a total party wipe.

Welp.

That and the end-of-everything spam attack (3 hits for 9999) that the second phase does about 4 turns in convinced me it was a significantly better idea to try and carry Hikari to the second phase so he could stack that buff on everyone. Getting there without burning it on the first phase would essentially trivialize the fight.

However, doing so meant I needed to figure out another way to tough it out in phase 1.

It ended up coming down to Castti, who I had fed all of my nuts throughout gameplay because she was my starter and I love love love her. Plus some luck with turn sequencing. I had Agnea cast Aelfric's Blessing on both Castti and Throné, and got the tentacles down to where one final Hired Help would finish them off. I also buffed elemental defense in one of the preceding concoctions, since that does seem to reduce damage taken from Hellbound.* Then I waited for a turn where Throné went first and Castti second. Throné used Foreign Assassin to heal from the Vide Wave (tm), then Castti was able to stay standing after the last one with like 600HP.

The doctor doesn't care if you're a wicked deity

She then did extreme doctor things (used an Almighty Olive to fully revive the party). Then I had a full turn to break Vide before the waves of darkness started coming.

When Ochette gets a full turn, Ochette breaks the enemy. It's what she does.

The rest of the fight was a walk in the park. Ochette's Peek-a-Boo summon plus Castti's Drastic Measures shredded through the phase 1 core, Osvald's One True Magic (II) plus assorted Almighty Soulstone usage from the rest of the boys helped break the second round of tentacles with the sidestep mixed in. Hired Help did the rest of the damage, and quad-stacked Divine Protections rendered the party essentially untouchable even in the face of that 9999 x3 barrage.

I loved this fight, and I'm saying that from the perspective of having fought Galdera. It really drew on all the disparate elements of vaguely and blatantly broken tools the game gave you, and I get the feeling it could've been solved in a half-dozen more ways depending on how one had built up their party. It was everything I loved about Octopath II.

…Next up. True Vide, the Wicked.**

------

*A point regarding the elemental defense buff and Hellbound. Information I found online has been sketchy but I set the above strategy up twice, once with the buff and once without. It does seem to have made the difference between Castti surviving to use the Olive.

**I have already died twice, but I've also made some decent progress and am interested to try some new combinations.

NASCAR Pantera ‐ First To 300

A reporter sat in a late-night cafe, sipping coffee and attempting to calm his nerves after a high-speed ride with Gary and his Pantera. The deafening roar of the V-8 engine still echoed in his mind, and his hands shook as he held his cup. It was as if he had just escaped from the clutches of the devil himself. Tragically, a few minutes later the devil caught up with Garry Mitsunaga and his red Pantera!

For students of Japanese car culture, the Mitsunaga Pantera that graced the cover of Option Magazine is a significant page of Asian tuning lore, as it was the first street-legal vehicle to achieve a recorded speed of 300 km/h in Japan.

Actual speed was 307.69 km/h on the infamous Yatabe Test Circuit in November 1981, making it the most legendary Pantera in all of Japan. Figuring Yatabe was too dangerous for civilian drivers, and wanting to take the human element of unpredictability out of things, driving duties at this event were performed by professional racer Kunimitsu Takahashi, who is considered the father of drifting.

Yatabe was the preeminent destination for high-speed testing in Japan from the 1960s to the 1990s. However, it was closed two decades ago due to a tragic accident involving Masa Saito, the editor of the tuning magazine Option. After the accident manufacturers started shifting towards more contemporary testing facilities.

Prior to the Porsche-vs-Skyline dreams of the 1990s, the streets of Japan were ruled by the infamous Midnight Club running Pantera's, Firebirds and American V-8s. For those unaware of the Pantera, it is an Italian-American sportscar with a Ford 351 Cleveland engine and were sold in the early 70's through Lincoln Mercury dealerships.

Leading up to November 1981, top speeds were achieved by vehicles such as the S30 Fairlady, tuned by SS Kubo, which reached a maximum speed of 257.60km/h. The fastest imported car, surprisingly, was the Trust Firebird Trans-Am, which recorded a top speed of 264.71km/h. So when the Pantera eclipsing the 300km/h mark it was a huge leap forward and a landmark achievement, becoming the benchmark for all the street racers and tuners to beat.

Mitsunaga was not entirely content. Only a speed above 320 km/h (200 mph) would suffice. It is said that Takahashi advised him against driving the Pantera outside of a racetrack. Mitsunaga disregarded the warning.

Just before the accident, he was transporting a journalist down a 38 kilometer (24 mile) stretch of the Tomei Expressway. With a recorded time of 6 minutes and 20 seconds he averaged 250 KM/H ( ~160 MPH).

Not long after dropping off that rattled journalist, he supposedly totaled his Pantera while avoiding a taxi. They meet their end at approximately 1:40 a.m. on November 28, 1981. Tragically, Mitsunaga died in the accident, instantly.

At the moment of his death, Garry Allan Mitsunaga was already a legend in the Japanese dragstrip and top-speed racing scene. He was an American, born in Hawaii and employed by the Harman Kardon audio group. The company sent him to Tokyo in 1975 to work for one of its Japanese divisions, in sales.

Upon his passing, he was revered as a patron saint of street racing, inspiring countless individuals to pursue ever-greater velocities. Despite his non-Japanese origin, he was a hero to the local community, and his legacy lived on through the Mitsunaga Pantera, a symbol of both the thrill and the peril of this high-octane pursuit. Although the whereabouts of the Pantera are unknown, its engine showed up for sale in 1995.

NASCAR

Mitsunaga's Pantera, was tuned by Masaru Hosoki from ABR, one of Japans most famous tuners. It also featuring a 600hp engine built by Mario Rossi, an American NASCAR mechanic and crew chief for the likes of Bobby Allison and Glenn “Fireball” Roberts. Rossi was also the guy that built the only Dodge Daytona to compete during the 1971 season. It's only race was finishing 7th at the Daytona 500 with a de-stroked Plymouth 340 TA engine to meet the new 305ci engine displacement mandate for the five Ford & Chrysler aero cars during the 1971 NASCAR season.

Rossi has been embroiled in controversy since his involvement in the $300 million drug smuggling scandal that shook NASCAR in 1982. Four days after the 1982 Daytona 500 in Florida, authorities arrested 66 people, including several associated with NASCAR teams, on what has been labeled “Black Thursday.” Among those implicated in the scheme that authorities believe grossed $300 million were owner Billie Harvey and driver Gary Balough from the team on which Rossi was working as a mechanic. Rossi’s role (if any) in the drug operation is unclear – though his own daughter implicates him.

Rossi's whereabouts have been a mystery since his disappearance, with some believing him to be in the witness protection program in the United States. Despite claims of his death in a plane crash off the Bahamas in 1983, the insurance company asserts that the plane in question has been sold multiple times without any recorded accidents.

What’s legend and what’s fact we are unlikely to ever know for certain. What we do know, however, is that Garry Mitsunaga and his Pantera dared to dance with the devil in the witching hour.

⇒ This is a special concept called Drainer, it is a inverted Booyah Bomb + Ink Vac.

⇒ More information below the cut.

⇒ App is Medibang on laptop. I don't know what brushes I used, they're all default.

⇒ When a player deploys Drainer they can throw down a drain like how Tacticooler is placeable. Then after a second or so (Haven't figured out exactly how long) it summons the Drainer. Which sucks in all shots and takes 600hp before exploding. If 600hp is not dealt to it within seven seconds it explodes anyways but a much smaller explosion. It will also suck in any unfortunate Inklings or Octolings that get too close.

⇒ If Drainer is thrown on a objective, such as the tower or directly on a splatzone, it will only be able to take 400hp before exploding and it will have a smaller explosion.

⇒ Design is subject to change as well as information. (I will probably make the drain part of the Drainer better looking.)
