this is a "home" 1cc because rank 1 is selected for all levels, except 1A (port) and 3B (volcano), which will be played at rank 3 for points. two additional levels will need to be played at rank 2 for an "arcade" 1cc.
okay, we mostly have rank 3 on 1A (port) and 3B (volcano) down. that leaves 2B (swamp) and 1B (graveyard) for rank 2, and arcade 1CC will be within reach...
more Deathsmiles 1cc learning grind tonight. we'll be working on not dying and getting the first 1up. the difficulty is in learning how to beat the final boss without bombing to get the life refill for final final boss.
some daily thought/engagement prompt reminded me of my maternal grandmother's steamed eggs. she'd top it with scallions, soy sauce, sesame oil, and occasionally dried scallops.
I don't want to get all "to be faaaaair", but Ultimate increased 50% from $20->$30 per month. so the banked time conversion is still a deal. however, at the end of the day, the previous value from Game Pass Ultimate is absolutely gone at this point.
Xbox Game Pass shuffling also reduced conversion rates for prepaid time when upgrading to Ultimate. Prior to today, it was 50% from Core->Ultimate; this has now need reduced to 40%. Enshittification at work. support.xbox.com/en-US/help/s...
