No change to any of the text of any records office encounters with Office Love active. I couldn't find any employees who might be in love.

Do we know what determines when Carlos shows up? Defitan wrote some info back in 2012 on the fang points page that scattering the bums helps, but I don't think does help. Last run, I had to help the gangers 6 times. This run I helped the gangers 3 times. I ran away from all combats (both were pacifist runs). I didn't interact with the burning barrel at all. I had the exact same equipment and stats. Why is this so much faster this time? Does the "this is our turf" combat give you a penalty somehow?

Also - Abduction and Evil Eye in the Park encounters are listed on the Southside Park (before quest) page, but I haven't seen either of those before completing Southside Park quest. Do they ever show up before finishing Docks quest?

Fire only conduct complete, not too bad. I wasn't trying to rush it. Dynamite [2] and nitro [4] and microrocket [8] are available from crates of explosives, but kind of awkward to chain together. I sort of wasted a day trying to get a shield and then Shield Block for a chain 3 tech I could use, but getting Parry from the corpse on the beach was easier.

Getting Experimental Chemistry was the big sticking point - 2 writhing mass fight was hard. Wrecker + red hot pipe (from charnel house, so I needed Fire Defense from a cyclical sketch) worked in the end.

The wiki lists this message as pickpocketing with heavy metal music playing: "You clean up on the dance floor, grabbing at anything that isn't nailed down. With the amount people are thrashing around, it's difficult to grab anything, but nobody notices what you're doing."

I'm not getting this though - I get the normal "It's painfully easy to pick pockets in this crowd" with all music types including heavy music. Same message with Garage Metal playing, and in trendy club outfit. Possibly a different message with really high pickpocket skill?

I got Gaze Beyond with three instances of Evil Eye, all learned through this encounter. Had not used any of them, but did have them in my deck. I did what the voice was asking once, then tried listening to it again, and got the skill.

I just got Handscripting first time hacking here this run. I had Perception 11 and Ancient Code (4 CF). I used 2 View which maybe helped?

The only hacking I've done this entire run (just built a computer now, this was all one hack):

You queue up a batch for Class Files containing Direct Command.You poke around at the class files some. A process someone left running overnight crashes spectacularly when your command touches it, leaving behind only a pile of disassociated code. You found: networking functions You found: filtering script

You queue up a batch for Class Files containing Manual Search and Waiting Eyes.Scanning through the system, you find… a ton of boring papers. They are starting to make sense, though. You've earned 1 XP in Will. You've learned a new Skill: Handscripting

It looks like Mandible Growth grants an additional +2 melee power with this skill.

in discussion Hidden / Per page discussions » Burning Barrel

Confirming "Charge them" on the Burning Barrel encounter / "Chase them down" for the Abandoned Barrel encounter does NOT add to fang points (at least - charging them and then running away from the fight). Have not tried winning the fight.

However charging them supposedly reduces the amount of fang points needed to get Carlos (4 instead of 6).

Kinak!! I have chitinous mandibles everywhere and can't walk or talk or end the combat I'm in. I can't report a bug in-game because I'm stuck in combat! This is a very cool and silly skill.

Hm, so PolyClay is interesting, it was introduced around Halloween 2021, but it's still available in-game (fishing up fused clay). So seems like it might have an additional use if you don't have the fairy tales from 2021. There's one more item gap right after the other clay items. I tried using it after using all the following. What else might inspire clay?

executive datareader
Memento Mori
corpse datareaders
Raven Tales
Conqueror Tales volume
Book Of Sailing Stories
Stories at an Exhibition
book of sculptures

old fairy tales (equipped)
odd sketchbook (equipped)
museum guidebook (equipped)
fused clay (equipped)

Studious Nature
Focused Perception

I just used a mislit flower (I had 2 turns of Icy Venom left over from Christmas) and the effect was removed, so that confirms it's a toxin effect.

No change to fighting this with writhing flesh active (for acid interactions).

The worm regurgitates you in a rancid wave of blood and bile.

No change with Chitin Hands.

Assuming kill, leaderboard, built, scariness, and wassailing. Didn't put time into the ice this year.

From the tree:

It's finally time to open all these presents!

You received: professional present

A massive pile of gifts came in overnight in Metroplex U wrapping paper. You take several trips to haul them into your apartment.

You received: 9 strings of frosted red lights

You received: 3 searing Christmas lights

You received: 8 strings of frosted white lights

You received: 22 strings of frosted green lights

You received: 2 ice cube ornaments

You received: 7 frosty heart ornaments

You received: snowy cookie tin

Hey, there's something from the OmniMall here too.

You found: scarfed llama

Edit: Didn't realize until I went to check the item IDs, but looks like this is the same stuff from last year. I've reported it to Kinak.

Looks like the icy fangs technique may only be stealth as an opener. When it was used as the second technique in a round, it instead showed up as:

You hurl a vial of Nitro at the serpent. It explodes with a resounding boom and deals 25 fire damage.
you lunges forward and sinkss its icy fangs into you for 2 melee damage.

Still inflicts Icy Venom, though.
