in the same run, i fought off an elder thornback by blowing it up alongside a trader, got to layer 5 TWICE, survived several broken bones, survived ventricular fibrillation, survived setting off a stick of dynamite inside my mouth (to fight off thornbacks picking at my dying body (last stand))
getting mindwiped in cas unknown is probably the worst thing that you can do late game LMAO, i was too desperate to survive a stroke and and drank braingrow out of a canteen instead of a careful dose of like 10 ml and had my 16 int get set to 0 int
i was playing ss14 for 6 hours straight today and the game was begging me to get off
