re: Darkest Dungeon DLC

Starting to get level 5 heroes. Running veteran dungeons with no issues. I was expecting a difficulty spike in dungeons but haven't really felt it. I'm not having any issues managing stress without a Jester.

I do need to do a better job managing quirks, but overall, this has not been as difficult as I expected. I remind myself overconfidence is a slow and insidious killer.

Normally, I don't worry too much with a fall garden. But I never could get my tomatoes over blossom end rot from the heavy rains, so we're playing a little catch up on canned tomatoes.

Transplanted tomatoes yesterday. They don't look very happy today :lol:

First round of broccoli has it first set of true leaves. Second round and cauliflower was started today.

So far, I'm on time with everything...for once. But it's still early.

Alright, I'm starting to get it. I've beat the first boss in two regions and have a few level 3 heroes.

But, man, am I always broke.

Oddly enough, I just started my first real playthrough of this game. If I enjoy it, I'll probably grab all the dlc for another round.

This one always sneaks up on me.

Started tomatoes just before we left for vacation, okra last weekend after we got back in town. Will start three rounds of broccoli starting at the end of the month and English peasant and carrots in a couple months.

SteamDB is so good when sales come around.
He also has a neat disappearing trick. Bruh...

ETA: Got him. I just have the DLC area left, but I'm not sure if I want to go through it. It think I'm done.
...I met Simon...this may be where I tap out.

how’d you do the squash I’m inundated
We just cut them in chunks, vacuum sealed, and threw in the freezer. They're fine for 6 months that way.

I'm really bad with pics and updates...

We put up:

30 quarts of snap beans
35 lbs.of potatoes (I'm still annoyed only 25 ft. sprouted)
118 ears of corn
6 batches of pickles (sweet and dill)
1 batch of salsa
2 batches of jalapenos
1 batch of candied jalapenos
11 quarts of squash
26 cups of bell peppers

Overall, it's been a really productive year. My goal was to take a break from a larger garden next year, and it looks like I'll be able to do that. I am a little disappointed with the San Marzanos. They never really got past the blossom end rot despite me trying nearly everything I read.

I'll let the peppers keep rolling for now. I have my fall garden planned and will be starting tomatoes again soon.

Seems to be the new normal
In a new season launch and free to play week, it has peaked at half of its launch player base.

Positive reviews aren't telling the story.
Finished Act 2. Think I'll work on some side content before finishing the story.

ETA: ...and done. Went straight to Act 3. Really good game. Looking forward to exploring now.
