Absolutely brutal T10 clear in Monster Train 2 tonight. The big Hydra lad applies 20 Corruption on hit, so by the end of the fight the boss was taking 1040 a turn in DoT. Tier 8 took me several tries, but T9 and T10 I got first try. At last I am free to grind T6 for tribe levels in peace.

Update on the Nintendo Switch 2 GameStop stapler incident:
GameStop confirms it was just this one Staten Island store, and says the "small fraction" of affected buyers "were swiftly given replacements" for their damaged consoles.

Important update/shameless plug of my story: Walmart tells me there were plans for two Coke flavors and three Pringles flavors in Switch 2 goodie bags, but it seems some stores improvised with others (www.gamesradar.com/hardware/a-g...)
