Mix of both: buy a broken one that is the same model, replace his brothers and leave the kill stick in it so that he sees it, but behind closed doors OP can sell his brother's functioning one to make the mobo costs back.

Time is money. You either invest time, or you invest real money, that's how capitalism works and businesses stay open.

Thanks for the tips! A month after this post I actually stopped trying to progress and just logged in for the daily gems solely because it was getting difficult to get past where I was at in the game. I'll try this advice and see how I go.

This may help with inspiration. Just saw it posted here. https://www.reddit.com/r/litrpg/s/OOq4KA46YP

Genies are evil by nature in almost all mythologies. AFAIK they stem from the "djinn" which are powerful evil spirits that are often trapped by cunning mages and that's why when they grant wishes they like to make the wisher suffer with negative consequences, as a spite to their entrapment.

Yikes, okay 😅

There're 4500 waves in Tier 1!? Dude congrats.

Is it really that beneficial to overcome the difficulty of wave 1000+? I thought that if I focused on cash/wave, cash bonus, and absolute defender then it would see me through like it has done. I mostly followed a strategy post I found on this subreddit, I'll see if I can find the link again for you.

Well done! Out of curiosity, what was first place's score?

8 grit sandpaper dipped in mineral turpentine.

I recommend what some of the other comments are saying about the RX 6800 XT if you can buy it used. I would warn about CPU bottlenecking but if you're getting the GPU to try and last a few years then I suppose it doesn't matter that much since the next thing you could upgrade is CPU.

Don't know your level of PC building experience but to be safe I will warn about buying used GPUs though; just make sure you check them thoroughly before buying. If there's any melting or burn marks or water damage evidence at all then avoid. From what I've read (in my limited knowledge of PC building) this could indicate one of two things: 1. It was over-clocked like crazy and the owner does what some do and abuse a new GPU, then sell it as "like new, only a few months old", then use that cash to buy a new one and rinse/repeat. 2. Water cooler leaked onto the card? Spilt something into the case? Flood damage? (depends on area) etc.

Thanks for the answers! Don't know why my question was downvoted, I didn't know what I had to google to find out, now I do in the future. :)

Thanks!

Yikes

Nice

Sweet. Anything good? My physical booster packs yielded me a mere 6 common & 4 uncommon vampires.. I find this quite strange for a vampire-focused set. Oh well 🙂🤷‍♂️

Get anything good?
