> (Thanks to ol_ReVerSe_lo for the suggestion of that evasion purple.) You're welcome Sandman ;) Took like a week and a half break from mining, finally got around to starting up again and:  Which means I'll soon be working towards once again optimizing my RB strat, hoping to get a 5:30 RB on video, but we'll see.

 Please make this easier as nobody else will get this currently. Wing armour slot maybe?

 Finally done with level 1 perk pyramid! it has been a long time, yellow level star. i missed you so. Also managed to get some progress in the level 2 pyramid already due to having so many leftover meds. :P

>If that doesn't classify as the true final boss of the game, i don't know what does. I think U3 CGT is the last challenge... that and maybe CN and BoD. CGT looks close to doable, but I'm gonna get u20 first.

CGT looks close to doable, but I'm gonna get u20 first. Good luck on that! kinda lost the screencap on my first DS wep. :p it's beautiful, man...

 No more pineapples. (Yes, i'm using the newbie set outfit. :P)

 Finally got around to not-being-lazy and used my ~2.6m l10s (but I still have 700k left. I think it was close to ~3.5m used with returns). Used optimal selling prices compared to my past laziness and the difference is astounding.  572k prog boxes today... +1363 total I think. I think this is 130+ ascensions in the past two days. After I do one more (maybe 2) l10 cycles and the 5 hour streak of adventures, then repeat the same shenanigans, I'll finally be "out". Should get me past 1400, but I won't get around to those until sometime later... Shoutout to Tukkun for making the greatest geometric-series-esque incremental game. When I first played this game about four years ago, I got +55 in about 250 days. I was proud of my progress. I estimated an upperbound of ~200T EXP throughout the whole playthrough. Today was >12x than the entirety of those ~8 months. Quite interesting how things have changed...   This is getting a little ridiculous now. It took me about a week to finally get through everything... 0 l10 gems left, ~2k PBs, 0 Explosions.... it felt like the last 8 ascensions were pulled out of nowhere. I guess that's the beauty of geometric series...  I thought I was only going to get to 1500 before the event started, but it turns out I'm REALLY bad at estimating how long my resources will last me. Maybe I'll get to 1900 during the event or something.  SD chips and coin mining are broken. Stage 2 complete.


 this was such an easy fight, pls make CHAOS harder   

Been a long time coming. Got 400 ascends. https://i.imgur.com/Mw8fhFN.png

 Fantastic event.

Finally, after 50 24hr days of running this, 3 months IRL time... I watched it from like a streak of 5. Left at 20 to get food and came back to 26. Not bad.   Also hit 1 billion rewards sometime today or yesterday.  Almost bored of mining. Still got another month, though...    During my chip-hunting madness I came across two more U-432s. 900k accuracy and 2.5m evasion is surprisingly all you need... Two first-try victories for 10T and 15T coins each. I have around 970k CHAOS kills, extremely close to BG6 and natural U-432 discovery...   All of those came from the same blob room. Not bad, RNG. 1 in ~146,516 odds.

Had a little fun:  Finally capped Coin Up.  Should hit at least 3500 by the end of January, then 5k by end of February. 9k2 after that, then completionist stuff remains...

I attacked a Red Bomb by accident and survived... somehow...

Saved up resources for once instead of spamming as I get them... Not that there's a point, but whatever.  

 I got the Golden Fishing Rod.


 Last time I could do this based on current goals...

Since I'm not likely to get any more fun numbers out of this, I got up early to get this picture....and then got distracted and am now posting it a couple of hours later. (Whatever.)  And hey, since it was also close, went ahead and bought some day skips, so I could snag *this*, too: 

+4999. AP Perks maxed. Resource stash for 9k2 rush ~90% complete. Time for PHMs while I wait for the earth to keep turning.     This game speeds up soooo fast. 250 days to +1000, 100 more for 4000 more ascensions... it's been a bland four months of mining / SD chips, but at least it's "finished." 

Forgot to post this a few days ago, but I hit +1000
