I spent some of today working on the bus, so heres some bus stuff.

I also might have covid, which kinda sucks.

Bus To Nowhere 1.4.2 Changelog:

• Added new "low quality" lighting mode, which reduces realtime lights and removes shadows. Looking to add one for post processing/world overlays as well. Currently a bit buggy, but overall works aside.
• Added a master-only button to turn events off for the instance. There will be a visible display on the dashboard to check if events are on or off (This will also disable the Black Forest Birds). This is from feedback that some people just want to vibe in the bus without everything flashing every so often. It can be turned on at any time; but will reset the event counter.
• The random poster event now functions properly and will appear more often in most city biomes.
• Increased the range of the boss interactions; as there is a massive habit of people jumping off the bus trying to get Apocalypse Bird to eat the egg incorrectly and people jumping at WhiteNight with Penitence. It tends to result in people being confused as to why its not working; so I figured instead of trying to clarify, I make it a feature.
• Windshield Wipers were reworked. Rain now slows the bus down slightly when it happens, and Windshield Wipers can be turned on for 40 seconds to negate the effects. When it is not raining, they will only turn on for 4 seconds as they used. The player pushing was also improved to hopefully help stop people from getting stuck.
• A new sound plays for both when the bus brakes and when the bus reaches a stop.
• Many items that once didn't respawn now can respawn, including the plushies and the personalized Love Letters.
• Slightly increased the duration of the Apocalypse Bird's Twilight attack's beams to make it easier to get the egg hit by one.
• Increased the duration of WhiteNight's opening heavy attack for easier parrying. Also slightly increased the parry window for its main attack. I plan to include an audio cue as well at some point once I get around to getting a good sound.
• Added new Patron Plushies. Also a plush of me; because nobody can stop me.
• Adjusted the volume of some things, mostly making some things quieter.
• "Absolute Truths" added to Storybook if you leave a specific item in it for around a minute. They will reveal some hidden internal hints about how the bus functions or very obscure secrets/trivia, at the cost of wasting your time.
• World completion now shows properly on the "FOX" sync Storybook.
• Puppet Arm now has an animation and sound when used, and also has a proper respawn location.
• Greed Bus was buffed in it's driver boost making it significantly better than Vog when driving.
• Preferred biomes spawn rates were increased slightly.
• The Volcanic Trial now no longer appears after the sword has obtained.
• Increased the amount of time on the patch notes/information panel.
• New Boss has received more polishing; but still remains unfinished. 
• A new button was added into the Engine Room. There is currently no way to open it, but it will be one of the ways to "end" a run of the bus.
