As some judge once said “enndeegee is playing his own game” or something like that because you know I don't really pay attention to the podcast when I'm running. (Humble brag I did 4 miles at a hair under 8 mins a mile for the first time in ages. Smug.) I am and I thought I'd do a kinda explanation of the game I'm playing over and above than the obvious - that I'm just here for the shits and giggles.
We all know that there is an element of the lather games that is pay to win. But to what extent is it really pay to play. How high could someone get without breaking the bank. And of course how often can I shill the no scrub soap that u/grindermonk made and which is absolutely epic.
So I looked at what I already owned 25ish soaps , similar number of user grade razors and 5 brushes. I looked at the calendar (on the 28th of may or so) and worked out what I could hit using the minimum number of brushes, soaps and razors in my collection. Where I could get away with a theme with a squint I'd chance it and hope the explanation was good enough. And the day I couldn't make it work I winged. (Badly it turns out ).
I'd then do each daily challenge to the best of my ability leaning into the shits and giggles and either fly high or flame out. Thanks u/djundjila for the Icarus tag. I should really flair it.
So my personal challenge: how high can I get with as small a den as possible? Can I get above halfway?
I've not done the maths till now but by my reckoning if it all goes in my favour (and it hasn't) I could (won't) hit
- 29/30 theme days (58)
- 0/30 relevant post shaves (don't use em. Long story and I'm not nesting comments. Today) (0)
- 30/30 topical consistency (20)
- 5/5 Legendary points (5)
- 10ish/20 Scavenger hunt points (1)
- 0/2 Hardware sponsors (0)
- 4/16 software points (4)
- 0/5 various bonus points (0)
That's 80+ points (I think. I can't read, write or do maths proper). Based on last year need to nail it if I'm going to be above half way mark. So I have to play hard, but also where there's a choice go for the funnier option over the safe bet.
Tl;Dr I'm an idiot with a point to prove and here's my LG mini den*
