Not sure what can be done/troubleshot about this, but just had the second instance of the game locking up (not bullet time slowdown, haven't seen that in a while, this is complete freeze) right at the end/beginning of a round. Last time it froze on the "Round Start" point, this time it froze...

Well, I had the first tumor removed back in the beginning of July. Then at the follow up scan for that we measured to verify and plan for Tumor number 2. At that follow up scan is showed that Tumor number 1 was no longer a thing on the radar, just splatter shadow of remaining dead tissue my...

Clone Earl, or 2x/4x size Earl, Or maybe an Earl with boobs, his sister Earlene.

Yes, I am feeling really good about it this morning. Hopefully that good feeling will be confirmed in 3 months with an MRI showing how recurrence. Also, having done the cryoblation process twice, and seeing comparatively the recovery time versus laparoscopic procedures for similar cyst/mass...

Sir! There are a lot of relatively unholy things I have done in my checkered past, but Ketchup has never graced a hot dog I have eaten, I can most certainly guarantee you.

Never know. Earl get popular enough you could tuck away a lot of the feature requests for "Earl 2 : Monster Boogaloo"

Yeah, being on sub-conscious peripheral vision chest watch has probably been the largest single real world productivity sapper I have experienced in quite a while. heh

This speaks to something I also thought of as a "streak" counter. Have a streak counter for number of Super Fast Clears. This would encourage spending more on skills which weren't big PI producers. Maybe a skin reward for some moderately crazy high number of super fast clears.

I have definitely not hit that level of the end game yet. But next rebirth should hit 20k diamonds for me. Since more cards are more fun, and to integrate part of an idea @krismunich had... "Mystery Box Upgrade" : Lose the "300x income" and "time moves faster for 5 minutes" options, add in...

On .81 now. Did a rebirth , all card bought, and around 18k in diamond. Had all skills opened within 20-25 minutes. Back to around 1/4 my pre-rebirth PI within an hour. Seems like a solid enough balance at this point. Will have to see how this rebirth (#13) does in terms over overall "soft...

Had a medical procedure done yesterday (Health issues thread if you're morbidly curious) Have to be put under for it. Being put under just kicked my sleep rhythm clock across the damn room. Wake up bright eyed and bushy tailed the next day at 4:30am Silver lining : early start to Shitpost...

Have the hourly rates come down or are they just throwing in the Greek for free rather than an upcharge now?

Just got home from the hospital and the procedure. Looks like the score is now (for those keeping track at home) Haus' Nephrotic Ice Tombs : 2 Cancer : 0 Everything went swimmnigly, only difference from last time is that the first time I peed after the procedure this time I proceeded to...

In that regards I am orthodox... Bun, wiener, mustard.

So... Tomorrow I go in for an ablation procedure on the left kidney to nuke the cancerous tumor there. I wasn't worried about the first ablation (right side) but for some reason I'm wound up and not feeling great about this one. Plus the procedure isn't until after lunch, so I will...

I'm at a quarterly sales kickoff meeting... And someone convinced an exec somewhere that Blitzkrieg Bop would be a good opening song. Now I have a 60 something VP of sales trying to get a bunch of sales teams to chant "hey ho! Let's go!"

For the record. On .77 and since 12:31 today I have managed to shoot up 5.5Sx/Sec in PI Credits popping now at about 22 second each. Between work tomorrow and a surgery on Friday I don't suspect I will have more time to look at the game until Saturday or Sunday depending on how I feel. So...

I believe back in the ancient times we call this... Stagflation! I don't normally completely love these guys, but this was a decent thread of analysis.

In my case, and trying to be careful as to not dox myself more than I have, my company has done to the order of 110% better than the S&P since the Covid crash in 2020, but like many companies more of that outperformance came in 2023 and 2024. 2020-2023, were still outperforming, but not by as...

Just went .75 to .77 and PI is definitely boosted a little.

I'm struggling right now as the single largest position I own, has essentially just barely beat the S&P so far this year. Pragmatic Haus Brain has been nagging at me to diversify out of it for a while, but Nostalgic Haus Brain remembers how before this year it's seriously outperformed in many...

Hurm.... Around a minute and a half per credit for me : at around 2.5Sx/sec My current diamond hoard... All cards purchased. General stats : I assume some of those numbers don't line up as I think you just started tracking some of them not too long ago.

Yeah, I have less use for any Earl tracking spreadsheets now ;)

Sounds like you're reaching a point where each "Content pack" is going to look something like : Some new skins. Some tied to achievements, some purchasable with diamonds. (Add reward) A new mob to increase the "high HP mob" challenge gate. (Add challenge) A new card to be the goal to make...

I think that's a solid approach. The only mathing would be around if there is a point even with that in which the diamonds would be more valuable than the Shiny. heh

That could work. Determine around what the diamond cache of a person hitting one of the harder "soft walls" is then place a diamond booster card around there. Maybe make a series of cards with escalating costs and each has the benefit of "diamonds do 10% more boost".

That is helping. Unsure what OOmph level needs application at this point, but that's also why this is early access. ;) In terms of bizzare things I'd love to see just to see.... The ability to toggle certain attacks on/off (Daggers, Zap, Fireballs, Skulls) to see what difference for instance...

I want to say things felt quicker, but not a ton quicker. I was focusing on getting to that first Sx/sec level at that point. Then I think it was .64 (or around there) hit which amped things up and I was suddenly closing in on 10Sx/sec , and .69 went into plaid drive and I was closing in on...

Yeah, there seem to be two "walls" you approach. Earl is stuck and not advancing in arenas. Ranks , 2x bumps, and upgrades cost so much you have to wait so long to afford them that you might forget about the game... You solve number one by arming him better with ranks in skills, but that...

This is going to sound crazy but... Have they checked your T level? (kinda assuming you're a guy here). I remember one thing when I was doing T pellets was that RBC count seems tied to T level in men, so they always monitored mine. Higher T often causes higher Red Blood cell production. Just...

I'm kinda worried about this as well. Not to mention now Trump trying to fire someone off the Fed board and the courts telling him, I think today, that he couldn't so she'll be on this fed board meeting with an axe to grind against Trump....

Volunteer to bring donuts.... Bring a veggie and dip tray... choose violence.

OK, did a rebirth/reload to test. Did rebirth first, within an hour had everything unlocked, and was back into Sp/Sec fast. Then realized I had just rebirthed at .69. Did a reload, so now at what seems to be pre .64 levels but with the first hour of .69 level progression : Observations ...

This will show to what level my inner autist has taken this.... I know if I do a rebirth in the morning I'll be right back to where I left off arena wise and passive wise (plus diamond bonuses) by around dinner the next day. heh In my head I already know that I will have work meetings taking...

I'm popping a credit around every 8 seconds, so yeah, that bolstered up a LOT with this update. But also this is , as you can see, at a moderately advanced passive income level. If I let it just run in background and rebirth tomorrow morning I estimate I'll harvest something stupid crazy...

Here's my current snapshot : Currently in that "rebalancing freefall" where I'm watching to see how low that Arena number goes before I get back to around a "win one, lose one" rate. Own all the perks... Even the skin. heh Last night I was just getting past 3.xxx Sx/sec in passive income...

Well. The native steampunk part of my brain would probably start off with just brass with blackened areas. That's easy. You pour the key, rub this blackening stuff on it, rinse it off. Then sand/polish the top to remove that blackened area and expose the brass. It's what I did on my daily...

And this morning... Thanks for that "Next 2x" button. Make a fresh rebirth much easier.
