Day 21 - New Growth
Changed how much sun these guys were getting and have been steadily giving them water. The small one seems to have completely recovered! Tall one has some growth that looks good too.

I think I've got the game largely solved, just a few more things to work out. I don't see me 100% this guy, but who knows? It's in a nice middle spot where there's some depth and a nice chunk of content, but it doesn't feel overwhelming. But there's no way I'm getting a very hard win with this idiot

At first I really wanted to get into the creature collector side, but so many of these guys are just not designed to survive. The jump to 3/4 danger outpaces most of the creature capabilities, and that's without considering the final boss. Big fan of sleep strats though (and love the bestiary).

The tags seemed right and sure enough it was up my alley. I was unhappy with the forced difficulty progression at first, but the jump from easy to normal did stonewall me for a few runs.
But then I got a handle on the meta and the advancement from normal to very hard has been smooth. One boss left

Day 18-19 - 10%
Just 9 more of these and I'll be home! This isn't too bad.
Funny that my day off feels so busy. Just laundry and catching up on my oshi Tomato kind of wiped out 4 hours. Then I did my writing, very happy with that.
I did not play Look Outside! I got sucked into a new roguelike.

As I get my programs really cooking here in the desert, I'm greeted with what's going on in Japan without me. Oh, y'know, a giant holiday tour that includes a visit to cat island. No big deal. Really, I'm glad to be here. I mean, there's just so much SAND and WASTELAND to enjoy, it's great!

Oh, to be able to stream right now. Look Outside 2.0 is live. Enjoy it folks! I'll probably crack into it next Saturday for my day off

Snagged an electric kettle and ordered green tea. Enjoying a little peace.

Day 12 - Holiday in the Desert
Someone bought this sad little inflatable pool and tossed it out here in the desert as a one-off joke. Wonder how old it is? Hard to say.
Did a little writing today, so I must be getting comfortable. Just brainstorming for now, nothing fancy

And finally, King of Time. Such a great enemy King, but his start is clumsy. Rewind and Regression are such good cards though, absolutely amazing. And Orbiter is quite good. But they need a little more.
Paladins won it. Gigantify+Rewind is 1000% busted. Won the final round with one Raptor charge.

And then there's this dogshit idiot. Progress is in such a bad spot. His units suck, his synergies suck AND it sucks to fight against him (unless you're wall / turret and ignore Defender retaliation).
Up until this run, I was sold that the only path was King of Stone, but I had hope. Raptor carry

THE ACTUAL KING. This guy carries so many bad runs. Walls + Poison, every time. The Wallmaker + Regression interaction is crazy, 100% multiplicative health stacking.
Stronghold went off this run. 4x faster shot time. Buried in arrows.

I used to sleep on Nomads too, but this guy is nuts. Raptors are disgusting and the Mob is great. What won it was a pairing I always wanted to play with, Ballista / Raptors. Boosting Ballista attack speed is crazy good, carried most of the game with pure DPS until I started Regression scaling.

Yo, I expected Nature to be a breeze and it was not. Their units are so ass at start. I kept trying to pivot, get some Boar power, but I ended up on a King of Stone ally win. Orchards and the Treant pair nicely with Cauldron, just need some time. King of Stone is a hard carry, though, what a dude.

I struggled with King of Blood, wasn't expecting that. Imp / Cemetery / Demon Altar is good, but there's an awkward transition period. Demons just don't scale enough tankiness, need a good frontline. I scaled up some Imps with HP support (Forests, Regression, etc.) and they held the line

My boy, King of Greed. Very easy build. Mercenaries are insane when paired with the Palace. I had King of Blood so I did a Cemetery / Demon Altar combo, huge boys. I actually should have lost though. I went against Nomad's Champion and his AoE ate me up. He glitched out though and stopped. It's a W

King of Spells was tougher. No health scaling in-house means tanking is a challenge. Shamans are good though, and Offering is an insane card. I used to have a negative opinion of Spells, but he's grown on me.
Got my win through Spires and pairing with King of Stone. Healing walls is good.

King of Nothing was easy. This guy is insane. Definitely the best 'tank' style unit in the game, unquestionably. The fact that he scales in house via Nothing's Blacksmith makes him so reliable, though there's an uncomfortable curve. Sometimes you lose early, but by round 15 or so you've won. Busted

Day 9 - CHU
Not like kiss, sadly. Converted housing unit. I did get to move out of the tents. I think these were designed off of shipping containers, back in the day (the one in Kabul sure looked like it). Now it looks like there's a company manufacturing them, so not really converted, huh?

Day 8 - Green!
Found these plants surviving out here. I'm no plant expert but these guys aren't looking great. Too much sun?
Pretty common for there to be leftover water bottles between shifts. I keep using those to keep these guys fed. Hope it's enough

Day 5 - Rest Day
I was just kind of doing my thing yesterday, my first day off over here, didn't even update.
Was looking for some privacy, some solitude, and found the gaming tent. Completely empty, no internet. But I did a little setup and chilled out. Little survival gaming in real

Day 3 - Farewell tent
Surprisingly, a little too cold. And then last night the AC died and, uh, that was not fun.
Pictures lack linens but that's pre-move and post-move. I had the setup.
Moved into my new dwelling today. Pictures tomorrow. Gotta space this out a bit. Lots of days left.
