So I have been playing ... (179). Finale with generators [LADC]

(This playthrough so obviously belongs in the pre-invasion world but I figured I'd carry on with this recap anyway. Lately I keep forgetting to check this side of Blogger.)

Last time, which I recapped in [checks notes] July? WTF? And now is ... [checks notes] November?? Double WTF?? (Basically, I've been focusing on my own writing a lot this last year and all other doings have kinda slipped down the "maybe I shall, just not now" slope; also my time-perception kinda runs its own logic, like all the time.)

Anyhoo. Last time I got the endgame processes started and traversed the Pripyat stadium to finally carry the prescribed storyline into NPP (and then of course do some sidetracking and creative procrastinating and Twilight-dilly-dally. 

I had even brought an ample fuel supply in the hopes of refueling the little BTR that we get to drive when storming Monolith positions! (Alas, the vehicle didn't seem to have a refuel function.) 

Finally I was done with the standard and not-so-standard NPP-Sarcophagus stuff and boldly stepped towards the Generators which a) inhabit a whole separate map in Lost Alpha, and b) I had never gotten to visit during the testing process!

So with this recap my Lost Alpha playthrough comes to an end. I won't write any extra stuff to each video, instead I'll post this before another November strikes because I looked away for two seconds.

Enjoy!

So I have been playing ... (178). To ... the North. [LADC]

(This playthrough so obviously belongs in the pre-invasion world but I figured I'd carry on with this recap anyway. Lately I keep forgetting to check this side of Blogger.)

Last time I ...

Did I forget that I've been meaning to complete this recap? Why, yes I did! Twice! (Then continued to forget so many times over the course of last five months. <<- A sentence I wrote in April before some busy times hit and I kept forgetting again!) 

Frankly, I don't remember what I wrote in last time's recap and I dare not look away from the open editor tab lest I forget again the funko-teenth time. 

I surmise from the video titles that I spent some time in the Old Road map, finally breaching that Monolith compound at the edge of the map. As far as I could tell, that building was a Lost Alpha original, combining and remixing some classical faction base industrial elements with some science equipment and secret lab hints.
