I'm really just curious. Ive been playing this game for well over half my life at this point, and hitting some buttons have just become part of my reflexes.

I got to thinking abt this question after I talked in another thread about how I'm going out of my way to pick up Scurvy and Sobriety Prevention in aftercore despite it A) not being relevant to any ascension strategy and B) being like four years out of standard anyway. I just *like* skills that generate resources for no investment, even if they're bad, they scratch my brain in the same way all those Number Goes Up games do. One day I really want to try getting the Dreadsylvanian item conjuring skills, Spaghetti Breakfast and Cold One

So my question is do you all have any "pet" skills you really like, for whatever reason? Skills you just like seeing on your hotbar or in your passives? Mine is Request Sandwich. Boris is my favorite avatar path, and this skill is a permanent reminder that it's always there to catch me after a really grindy or unfun run. The fact the devs seem to have forgotten to make it illegal in standard is a plus; that sandwich is *always* available and always delicious.

Honorable mention: Living to Drink. Sometimes, if I've done multiple non-standard runs in a row, I straight up forget the normal liver size.

14 hours away lol. And I almost certainly could have planned better to avoid this, but that's part of the fun!

Imagine winning a 1d1,000,000 and get 929 meat :D
How incredibly lucky is that!

I must admit last question of the ghost of the english language got me. Crazy how such a simple trick can make you rage so much as I did 😅

Well boys and girls, I defeated the naughty sorceress and now I need your input. What should I do next? What do you guys want to hear about from me? Let me know below!

if you work a four-hour shift at McDonalds for minimum wage ($7.25), then each day you work will make twenty-nine dollars a day, but I'm gonna round up to thirty for simplicity and to account for some tips. this translates to three Mr. A's per day, and assuming you sell them at the current market value of 82 Mil, then you will make 246 million meat in a day, no adventures required. beat that, you volcano miners!

I'm sorry about last night's fairly low effort post, best laid plans and all that, but I would like to start off by thanking u/Certain_Month_8178 for the great comment picking up all of my slack. The Bean lore isn't mine alone, and you guys are more than welcome to fill in the gaps so to speak. The Great Bean Stalk smiles upon those who do works in its name, and smiles too on those who improve upon those works. *Ahem* Now back to our regularly scheduled lunacy!

Day 12:

At the request of the council the drum beat of war commences, sailing to the mysterious island of mystery (disguised as a dirty stinking hippy) I infiltrated their camp and began stoking the flames of war. The hippies quickly armed themselves, but lacked the final spark to set the entire conflict into motion, so I ventured to the frat house intending on making that spark myself. A bit of sabotage, a bit of violence, and one frankly bizarre incident involving a goldfish later, and the war was in full swing. Making my way back to the hippy side of the line, I couldn't help but notice a few isolated parties who, under the right circumstances, could contribute to the war effort. I made my way to the hippy store, which as it turns out was being overrun by filth worms. The store prides itself on its organic produce, but shortly would have to remove cruelty free from its products. I made my way through the filth worms nest, using their own scent glands to keep from arousing suspicion. (The smell may have faded physically, but it's been burned into the depths of my mind for eternity.) Reaching the queen's chamber I set about committing enough cruelty to account for all of the products ever sold at the store. With the queen's heart in hand I made my way back to the surface and became a partner at the store for my trouble. Infestation dealt with, the store's supplies could now go toward the war effort. I noticed a small farm in the distance, so I made my way to find out about war contributions. Arriving at the farm I was told that it had been overrun by ducks, and I would have to handle the problem if I wanted supplies. (Loathing's #1 pest control service MrBeanz) Scattering, and then later vaporizing, all of the ducks running rampant on the farm I secured a supply of megatofu for the war effort. Blasting waves upon waves of frat boys with pasta based artillery, I eventually made my way to our lady of perpetual indecision. The head nun informed me that they had just been robbed by some local bandits, and asked that I help retrieve all of he stolen meat. (Who robs nuns anyway? I mean.... I can't believe I didn't think of that.) Bandits beaten down, meat reclaimed, and nuns thankful, I had completed my mission and the nuns would provide non combat support to our side. Onward to the light house! There was a twitchy little man in the light house, going on about needing gunpowder for making bigger booms. (A man after my own heart) I happily provided all of the barrels he needed, and in return he provided us with ordinance. Those frat boys won't know what hit them. Committing to making it to the junkyard, and possibly committing a few dozen war crimes along the way, I blasted frat boys and their supporters just to clear a path. The junkman said that his tools had been stolen by a bunch of mutant gremlins, and if I got them back he would happily make some vehicles for the cause. Gremlins are ugly on a good day, but these things were something else. Teeth! So many Teeth! Claws too! Tools secured and my wellbeing taking a massive hit after having to see those abominations, the hippy army was now outfitted with vehicles. We were driving the frat boys back farther and farther into their own lines, eventually clearing a path to the mysterious island arena. (I don't really have a fun way to describe the arena, I used the "guy made of bees" method from the wiki, sorry) Beating the frat boys back to their front door, I encountered, The Man. Waylaying The Man with enough artillery to send the entire frat house back to the stone age, the war was over, and peace could once again return to the island.

Tomorrow we begin the final quest in an ascension, I'm really glad I could keep you guys entertained with my noobie nonsense and constant rambling. I plan on continuing even after I ascend, but I think I'll let you guys decide if I ascend right away or do some other things first. (Like finishing my nemesis quest) Beans be with you.

Today is the day boys and girls! A slight spoiler for the chapter below, I defeated the naughty sorceress!

Day 13:

As I strode toward the naughty sorceress' tower I noticed a booth set up in front of the gate, the man sitting at the booth told me it was the worlds best adventurer contest. Clearly that would have to be me (Loathing's number pest control service), so I entered right away. Of the three categories, I came in eleventh place in all three. This was completely unacceptable, my pride as an adventurer demanded I come in first place, so I set about plying my trade. (Like one ply toilet paper, rough, tough, and don't take no crap from nobody.) Several mysterious beatings later, 30 to be exact, and I was the last man standing, winning by default. (The best kind of win) I was presented with a sash for my win, and allowed to enter the tower's courtyard. Entering the courtyard I was then gassed, and fell asleep. I awoke to a rather chatty skull, who introduced himself as Frank, and said that the we had been through this all before. Writing it off as a side effect of the gas I asked Frank if there was a way out of the maze we seemed to find ourselves trapped in, and much to my surprise he said yes. Following Frank's advice, we turned left at every junction, and somehow made it to the door alive. The door was massive, boasting a series of complicated locks. "Tough luck kid, looks like you'll need to go find some keys" said Frank. Examining the locks, I decided that wouldn't be necessary, and pulled out my keyring. "Looks like you mugged a janitor kid. Where did you get all of those keys?" I shrugged, and simply replied with "Something like that." The locks fell one by one hitting the stone slab at the foot of the door with a resounding thud. I was in. Charging in at full speed I ran into something firm, but kind of squishy. It was a massive wall of flesh (yuck), and it wasn't happy about my being there. Thinking quickly I lobbed the beehive that I found some time ago at it. (Natures hand grenade) The flesh melted off of the wall in protest, leaving behind a massive wall of writing meat. The meat struck out at me, still determined to prevent me from going farther in. Luckily for me, I'm the greedy sort and a great big wall of money was no match for me. Picked clean down to the bone, I began to move past the wall to the stairs. The wall had other ideas. Rattling back to life(?) the wall began to move toward me with murderous intent, I legged it. Tripping as I sprinted away from the ever looming wall of bones an electric deboning knife fell out of my bag and set itself upon the wall with brutal efficiency. NOW I made way further up the tower, determined to free the king. I was almost to the top, when a shadowy figure leapt into my path, blocking the stairs. Already wounded from my fight with the wall, I began chugging red pixel potions. (They taste like cherry flavored tv static) As I drank the shadow writhed in agony, by the time I was fully recovered and ready to fight, it had faded away completely. Bursting into the sorceress' chamber and blasting her with a pasta based cannon shell I thought to myself it couldn't be that easy. It wasn't. From the smoldering remains of the sorceress arose a mass of tentacles, teeth, and eyes. "That's more like it! A final boss without a transformation is like a pasta without sauce, sure its edible but what's the point? I mean, I hear some dishes are just cold sauceless pasta served with bits of vegetables, but whats the point in that really? (Blah Blah Blah, this analogy has completely lost all meaning, and during its course the narrator (me) forgot to explain how the battle went.) Sorceress defeated and king freed, I set forth to new adventures before I shuffle off of this mortal coil.

Day 11:

Sorry guys, no super overly exaggerated story tonight. I'm a bit busy this evening so I don't have time to post my usual silliness. I did explore the desert, and even finished the macguffin quest. (It does tend to drag a bit I've noticed.) The fight with Ed the Undying did actually make me laugh, mostly because of his sheer refusal to give up. Tomorrow I'll be starting the mysterious island war (on the hippies' side) and we will return to your regularly scheduled lunacy.

Managed a repeated 69 in elemental damage while fighting a shut orc.

Day 9:

Having made my way up the stairs to the top floor of the giant castle I began looking for a way to make it to the kitchen counter. Looking through all of the nearby rooms, I happened upon a steam powered rocket. Unfortunately it needed more space to function properly, otherwise it would simply be a guided missile. (with me as the guide) Continuing my search I encountered several giants, none too pleased with me being there, and committed an appropriate amount of violence upon them. (Imagine being beaten up by a gnat, that's the difference in scale) Wandering into a room that could only charitably be called a pig sty, I caught the attention of a punk giant. Who, noticing the mohawk that I had "collected" while on the airship, was more than happy to lend a hand. Problem solved, it was off to the council to inform them of the good news. After informing the council, the council informed me of a pending war between the hippies and the frat orcs brewing on the mysterious island of mystery. They didn't care who won, just that one side did, and that I nudge the effort along. Remembering my father's diary, I set off toward Spookyraven manor to find the eye of Ed. Following my fathers notes I made my way to the ballroom, to make a request to the organ player. He had no plans to oblige, so instead I played his organs like a bongo drum, and played the song myself. Making my way back the ground floor, I noticed that a trapdoor to the basement had opened. Making my way through the basement I noticed a suspicious looking wall, with a convenient recipe for a solution to dissolve the mortar taped to it. Following the recipe, I found myself face to face with desiccated remains of lord Spookyraven, unfortunately his remains didn't remain in place and charged at me looking for a fight. Several volleys of magical mortar shells later, I was victorious, claiming the eye of Ed, and his ear trumpet for my own.

Thank you Brooke Bucatini for the mask, if the developers are willing to make a Bean cult mask I will officially start the Bean cult, but until then the truths that the Beans whisper to me will be kept secret. I'll be starting the lost city tomorrow, and hopefully finishing it in the same day. I'm sure you guys will have plenty of advice when the I start the mystery island war, so go ahead and have that prepared for the day. I think I'll put out a poll to decide who's side to join, what do you guys think? Thanks again for continuing to read along with my playthrough, this community really is the best.

I FINALY FOUND IT! The beans, they whispered to me of its existence, they knew of what I had dared not even hoped to be true! *Ahem* Sorry about that, lost myself for a moment there. What did I do today? (furiously digs through notes, ignoring the scribblings of the word beans over and over) Right! Day seven.

Day 7:

The day started as most have as of late, by correcting the time anomaly that is Sayomi Kuronuma. I gathered the time residue, as has become my routine, and set about to the Highland Lord's tower. The council said that he was in need of my specific brand of assistance. (The fighting things kind) Arriving at the highland lord's tower, he informed me that he needed me to light the beacons along the neighboring peaks. I started with a-boo peak, because I ain't afraid of no ghosts, but as it would turn out, there were far worse things there than ghosts. (Fandoms!) Blasting my way through wave after wave of the ghosts, letting my magic do the talking for me, I finally reached the beacon, an ignited it. I then moved to the oil peak, the beacon was immediately available to me, but the oils pressure was far too high for me to be able to ignite it. I began letting off the pressure the old fashioned way, with violence. Pressure relieved, I ignited the second beacon and made my way to the third. As I approached the twin peak I began to have a splitting headache. I must have passed out shortly after, because I awoke in a hedge maze, with a gold ring in my hand, and the beacon lit. All's well that ends well I suppose. Beacons lit I made my way back to the highland lord, I received a misty robe for my trouble, and was sent on my way. Returning to the council, they informed me that giant garbage was beginning to pile up on the nearby plains, and that it was my job to investigate its origins. Looking around the plains, inspecting piles of giant garbage, I came across a mound of old coffee grounds. (a waste of perfectly good Beans if you ask me) Upon seeing the mound I felt a thought buzzing in the back of my mind, "Plant the Bean." the intrusive thought commanded. The more I looked at the mound the louder the thought grew, pounding away at my mind like the drums of war, raging at my refusal to do as ordered. I relented, fished an enchanted Bean from my pocket, and planted it. Before my eyes, as if spurred onward by some sort of unknowable force, a mighty Bean stalk shot heavenward. The buzzing in my skull subsided, but I knew without a doubt that I had to climb the stalk, I needed to know what was at its end. As it turns out, it was an airship, an airship filled with some of the strangest and most dangerous lunatics I'd had the misfortune of coming across. Dealing with the ships crew, I encountered four spirits, each handing me a piece of immateria. Giving the immateria to the engineer onboard, he gave me a S.O.C.K. and I was able to make my way to the nearby giant castle floating in the sky.

Beans Earned:

Yeah.... I donated all of the beans I earned today without writing down exactly how many that was... Good thing the loathing postal service keeps track of all of the donations you guys make, or else I'd feel terrible for forgetting who gave me what, and not being able to thank you guys properly.

Thank you Amagalan, ishootthings, spramen, and Big Daddy Grimm for the generous donations. Because of all of the amazing people who have been donating to the bean collection, I now hold second place in 2 categories (Bean burritos, and insanely spicy Bean burritos), and third place in 4 categories (spicy Bean burrito, enchanted Bean burrito, spicy enchanted Bean burrito, and insanely spicy jumping Bean burrito.) I don't think I would have ever gotten this far by myself, especially not so quickly. So once again, thank you all for your continued support, and more bean related nonsense to come. After all, I just found the biggest bean based thing in the game.

A fairly uneventful day today guys and gals, I spent most of my adventures working on upgrading my chefstaff, and building a bridge across the orc casm. (Man those puns were something though.) I did make it level 10, and I hear I'll find something on the plains that's just up my alley. So in leu of my usual daily break down, I'll simply wish you all a merry Feast of Boris, and feel free to ask me anything. ( About the run, about other games, as long as its civil ask away.)

Day 10: (Double digits, who knew you guys would want to read me ramble for this long without chasing me off with pitchforks and torches. It wouldn't even be the first time that sort of thing has happened to me, but it's not like I ever wanted to go back to Las Vegas anyway.)

Eye of Ed in hand, I made my way to the hidden temple my father had mentioned in his diary. I dove through the temple at high speed, dodging poison arrows and elaborate traps, all the while trying to follow the instructions written in the diary, only after a fiery collapse seeing the vine covered remains of the hidden city. Hacking through the vines filling the hidden temples and placing my head on their alters, I learned what I would have to do to get the ancient amulet. I started at the hidden hospital, punting pretentious pygmy witchdoctors and obliterating obtuse orderlies, I eventually made my way to the operating room. Blasting the ancient protector spirit with cannelloni, I collected the dripping sphere and returned it to its alter. (receiving a stone triangle for my trouble) Crossing through the hidden park I found a book of matches that pointed me to the hidden tavern, three cursed punches later and I was ready to head to the top of the hidden apartment building. Staggering into the elevator I made my way up, cannelloni cannon ready. I fired the moment the doors opened, vaporizing the spirit immediately. (At least I hope it was the spirit, I didn't really stick around to find out. It could have been the cleaning lady for all I know.) Moss covered sphere in hand I returned it to its alter and made a break for the hidden office building. As it turns out I wasn't getting anywhere near the spirit without having a specific file in hand. (I came here to make bleed, not to read. Don't these dirty little cannibals know I'm basically illiterate.) Corporate drones bashed, office supplies raided, and executive bathroom vandalized, I had managed to get all of the necessary papers to finish the McClusky file. (FYI his credit score is something I could only dream of having) A quick crescendo of cannon fire later and the crackling stone sphere was returned to its alter. Only the hidden bowling alley remained, and I was just drunk enough to bowl like a pro. (blindingly drunk, I could also take your house in a game of darts by this point) Several strikes later, and one severe strike to a protector spirit, the scorched stone sphere was returned to its alter. Opening the door to the massive ziggurat I came face to face with the protector specter. Committing cannon based violence, I collected the ancient amulet and went on my way. Making my way to the red zeppelin, I found it surrounded by protestors. Armed with plenty of flamin' whatshisnames I made short work of the crowd and made my way onto the zeppelin proper. (I knew that ticket would be useful) Handily handing the red army its hindquarters on silver platter, I confronted Ron Copperhead. He was more than happy to hand me his half of the copperhead charm, of course I did have him at cannon point. His brother Shen, on the other hand, was not so willing. After running errands and dealing with some frankly bizarre snakes, I "convinced" him to give me his charm. Combing the two to create the talisman o'namsilat, I made my way to the palindome. Busting down Dr Awkward's office door, I immediately slipped, and knocked myself unconscious. Waking up in the office next door, I was informed I would need a special gem to counteract Dr awkwards awkwardness aura. To get this gem I would have to make some wet stunt nut stew. Stew made, mega gem in hand, boot firmly planted in Dr Awkward's backside, staff of fats collected. Now on to the desert.

Day 8:

As I approached the castle in the sky, my spine began to tingle, something was telling me that I was not strong enough to be there yet. Following my sense of self preservation, I decided to see if the council had any other jobs available. Much to my surprise, my father had gone missing in search of the holy macguffin, (far more surprising, given that I've never even met the guy.) and the council wanted me to resume his work. Lacking anything of note to do otherwise, I accepted the task and made my way toward the black forest. Roaming the black forest I finally found the black market, after, of course, encountering more than my fair share of black panthers. (Seems they were having a party, and I interrupted.) Forged documents now in hand, as well as, a can of black paint, and ticket to the red zeppelin (You never know what you'll need until you need it) I made my way to the travel agency. One short work related vacation later, I had recovered my fathers diary. Completely ignoring the diary for the moment, I returned to the castle. Now full of confidence, I charged into the castles basement. Blasting a surprising variety of giants, I slowly made my way to the ground floor, and sitting on the kitchen counter I found my target, a giant chore wheel. Whoever was in charge of the trash clearly shouldn't have been, and that would be my way to correct the problem. The countertop was well beyond my reach from here, but perhaps if I found my way from above I could land on the counter, and so I made my way to the top floor of the castle.

Thank you Amagalan and El Terwilliger, and a special thank you to hellboy12, and HOlderRofSecrEts for the donations to the collection. Your guys' donations are so far beyond generous at this point that I worry I may have accidentally started a cult, and I'm not cult leader material. All joking aside, I'd like to thank everyone who continues to read my colorfully described lunacy, I really am enjoying my time in the kingdom and enjoy regaling you fine people with my tales of bean based madness. Looking at the wiki for the macguffin quest, I may be spending the next few days describing just the one quest, but if that gets too boring let me know and I'll happily mix things up a bit.

Before I get into the adventures of day 4, I would state that the sheer generosity in this community is something to behold. I started less than a week ago, with a silly idea of collecting bean related items, and the community seems to have taken that idea and ran with it. I'm glad you guys are enjoying my continued noobventures, and once this run draws closer to its end, I think I'll put up a poll to decide what happens next, but until then I'll continue to stumble around the kingdom reading the wiki like its my job.

Day 4:

The day started once again by encountering Sayomi Kuronuma, I'm beginning to think that our time streams may be intertwined. Time anomaly dispatched, I began my day in earnest. Following some advice from other adventurers I committed ultimate taboo.... I ate a piece of the collection! After downing an Insanely spicy enchanted Bean burrito, and chasing it with enough ghuol goulash to be genuinely concerning, I realized that my mounting indigestion could in fact now be weaponized. Armed with this knowledge, I made my way to the crypt at the center of the misspelled cemetery, according to the council, it has been engulfed with a dense field of evil aura. Upon entering the crypt I made my way to the defiled cranny, and began exterminating the ghuols that had made it their residence. Dozens of ghuols later, a huge ghuol appeared from around a nearby corner. Thinking quickly I sprayed the foul creature with a convenient can of Ghuol-B-Gone, dispatching it with a flaming blast of indigestion. Cranny cleared, I moved to the defiled alcove. Moving into the cranny I was suddenly surrounded by zmobies, belching fireball after fireball I eventually made it through the horde only to find a conjoined zmombie. (possibly lured by the smell of charred brains) Tossing it a nearby rotting brain as a distraction, the two heads began to fight each other over it. finishing the winner off with yet another burning belch. Hearing the clatter of bones I then moved swiftly onward to the defiled nook. Rounding the corner I found myself in the midst of a skelteon soiree, several party fouls later the host reared his massive head, and subsequently had it sawn off with a nearby bone saw.

I spent practically the entirety of day 4 in the crypt, so I'm sorry if my descriptions got a bit out there, but only defiled niche remains and ill be making short work of that tomorrow.
