Been playing a lot of Haste by @landfall.se recently. Fantastic game, 10/10, would reccomend. Today i achieved a real milestone though. After 70 hours of rougelike rng antics i finally found a combo of items that fully, dead ass, broke the game:

Today I had my mom over for mother's day brunch, wrote a nodeJS web scraper and successfully got data back, played Jaws of the Lion with the GF and finally, set up a PS2 emulator on her computer so she could play Kya: Dark Legacy, (a game from her childhood that only she remembers). Pretty good day.
