As my catio finally, finally nears completion after 14 months, I have derived a lot of joy from explaining the baffling decisions the previous homeowner made and my slow progress to fix them.

I'm not particularly handy, but I am stubborn enough to figure out how to use a prybar to remove carpet that was inexplicably under my combination washer/dryer unit in preparation for a new one.
All this to say, homeownership is a trip and a half.

I'm currently sitting at a 1:10 Win Loss Ratio with Defect, which is not particularly good although I am able to get to Act 3 pretty consistently.
But this latest win was my highest scoring yet thanks to 10 elite kills. Gambling Chip, Throwing Axe+Defrag, AfO with 0 costs and Cannon.
Perfection.

It's nice when you look back at a piece and it actually hits the same as when you wrote because that is almost certainly not the default response.

Bars and I continue to have what I can best described as a tenuous working relationship where I can exist in one for about two hours alone before I start to completely dissociate.
It used to be one hour. I have my doubts I'll ever get to three.

I don't have a particularly good win rate at Slay the Spire 2 (it's floating around 1/10), but I certainly do know how to snowball and I think I am okay with that.

I have gotten over the whole "cosplaying as a functional adult" but am now doing the whole "cosplaying as someone who is perfectly okay having their value be determined by the hypothetical value they provide" for the week, and I am really excited for when I can drop that.

I'm at the "myopia into a game as a means of distraction" phase of my life cycle, which comes at a reasonable time in some respects and unreasonable time in others.
Which I think is just a part of human existence to a degree, but still.

After about 170 hours, I have managed to complete my short term goal of beating A10 on each character in Slay the Spire.
Defect remains my favorite. Ironclad/Necrobinder/Regent float in the middle. Silent, despite being the character that stream rolled a lot of early ascension was my last victory.
