▶️ Watch on 3Speak --- Howdy folks, It's a short one today - we survive a paltry 15 minutes before getting an exploding crossbow to the face. Such is the way things go! Today's build is a pretty go...

Live and drink, friends. It is Oblivion Cube. We're here for another Cave of Cud daily run on this glorious 132nd day of 2026. So what do we get? Art Effects. Cool, Trukin. We have night vision. Oh, brilliant. I love a good bit of being able to see in the dark. Decent strength, decent toughness. Yeah, all around, decent. Yep. We're just going to randomize the name. And let's take a quick look at what we get. The village of Ekamrod. Tud's jungles, strangles, steeples of rusted archways and earth. Further and beyond, the fabled spindle rises above the fray. Cool, okay, so per usual, we're going to aim for about an hour here if we get too far over that, then what's going to happen is we're just going to abandon the character, see what our score is for the day, and go on about our way. Now, what are these dudes? Mono sludge colonists. Isn't that interesting? So these guys, water rituals with these guys, require slime, which is interesting. I bet you... I was going to say, I bet you I can get Uzrapp with these guys, but maybe not. Let's take a look here, so... Let's see. Harvest reek, fermented tongue. And we can get a recoiler. That's always good. Now, what are these guys exactly? They are, yeah, some primordial soup kind of thing. LJ pseudopod. Uzing pseudopod. Oh, very cool. I don't think I've ran into this style of creature before. That's really, really neat. I've been playing for a while, but, like, I'm not good. You know, I haven't gotten super far, and there's a bunch of stuff I haven't seen, so that's not terribly surprising. Data Dix, does that mean we have Tinker? Do we have, what do we have here? Yeah, we do have Tinkering. Oh, that's great. Okay, Tinker 1 and Tinker 2. Oh, we've got basically nothing else, though. Okay, well, that's okay, that's alright. Let's see here, so what do we have? What is that on our face? Telescopic Monocle. Okay, cool. What kind of cybernetics, that's the wrong one. What kind of cybernetics do we have? Night Vision, that's right, okay. Fidgette, so it'll go up as we move. If I drop this, or if I read this, do you get anything? Probably not, okay. Okay, we've got a wrench. What's in our left hand, stun rod, without a cell and a bronze. Okay, so these torches we definitely don't need at all. Other moccasins, not as good as crocosins. Okay, so we need to find somebody to sell to, for sure. Let's pop to the clay oven. Steal some food. Al-Samic meat mats, sweet. 9% chance to stop bleeding whenever we take damage. That's not bad. All right, black goose guy. What are you? Let's see here. Let's trade. Nothing. For work? Find UR to the east. Is he the only one? Is that? Is that it? Is there just the one? Did we already find him? Let's trade, yeah. Okay, live and drink. Let's see here. Okay, yeah, watervine farmer. Okay, did. The only reason that there's one is because we already found the other one. Graved woven tune. Okay. Well, I can't do anything about that. I'll sit on the harvesting chair, as you ask. Okay, well, that is decent thing. What can I do with these? That just has fresh water, hey? I think it said, they said that I could drink of their fresh water, but I guess I won't, I won't take that chance. What is that guy? He's, you're not mad of me, are you? No. Okay, do we have a droma? Yeah, there we go. Let's chat with him, we're going to trade, we're going to get rid of all these torches immediately. I don't... really think we need an acid grenade either. We'll grab the lead slugs, rid of that, thermal cask, and ulnar stimulators. Okay, we'll learn both of those, probably. Does he have, he's just got a musket, I'd like something better than a musket. Let's look at that, though, Russia Floor, sweet. I think I really want to trade for anything else right now. Yeah, I think that's probably going to be it. We'd get rid of this too, actually, now that I think about it. Okay, now where are we? Yeah, we're way up here, okay. So those are going to be our two quest spots. currently which uh and this is closest what is this hills okay let's take a look which one which one do we think that is kyrash uh that is going to be sit on the chair okay let's try that one because it's close um Do we want to move anything around here? No, I don't think so. I think that's probably fine. Okay, let's see. Oh, my goodness, we made it without getting lost. Amazing. Okay, what do we got there? There's a chameleon over to this side, right? There's a statue here. But otherwise, I don't see anything terribly dangerous. That's decent. Yeah, oh, and there's a becoming nook. Oh, boy. That's... Fantastic. Do we have any missile weapons? No. Okay, that's all right. I think, and we can't deploy a turret without any, uh, missile weapons of any time, hey. Ooh, he nailed us. Okay, that is, uh, not great. Let's eat our witchwood. I do not want to die. I do not want to die this fast. Let's get out of here. Oh, darn it. Yeah, okay, that tracks. That tracks that we'd be that unlucky. Uh, okay. I swear, if we die in, like, five minutes, I'm gonna be so disappointed. Let's tross a grenade back here. Freeze everyone and myself, of course. That's great. Yeah, okay. Just gotta wait out that. Huh, okay. There's a chrome revolver here somewhere. I just saw that. Can we... Let's just get this for right now. Grab that as well. Where's the chrome revolver? Is it here? Am I sitting on it? Yes, I am. Heck, yeah. Okay. That's great. That's a huge win for us right now. Let's take a look. Let's make sure. I've only got eight slugs, but that's okay. What kind of armor? And you are a body piece, right? I can't put you on the... Can't put you on your back? Let's pull this asser grenade in here, and let's take a quick, careful look. That's the horned chameleon. This guy helped with that. You know what? We'll take his arrows. We'll give him the fur and the iron dagger as well. Let's give him a lot. That'll pony up some drams of water. Okay, so if you haven't played, books are super, super useful. because you can take them to the five -day stilts, and you can trade them for experience. Ah, this is a bunch of food. Cool. Congealed, scalp, water, skins, the one yard is awesome. I think we're going to take all that. Okay, and then, is that that this must be the chair, right? Right, like, this has to be, yeah, okay. So easy. Okay, that's brilliant. Let's see here. What do we want to... We kind of want to go to that becoming a look, but I want to take a look at the statue again. I don't know if we properly looked at it before. Okay, yeah, there's nothing. You know what? Let's be pious, let's pray. What's in this? Okay, I thought it said that there was nothing else for me to... I'm nowhere else for me to look. Okay, examine this, pneumatic pistons. Awesome, and a weird artifact. We'll examine this as well. Afflatable axons. Okay, less cool, but still great. Come back to this becoming nook. Welcome aristocrat to the Becoming Nook. Okay, license tier. and my points used are two. Okay, how do I upgrade my license? I need credits for that. Right, right, right. Okay, and I'm going to find credits in ruins and so forth. Yeah. Okay, okay, and these each require two license points for... for me to use them. Okay, not bad, I think, let's try very foolishly popping down and see if we can kill more of those. Can't cook with what nearby? Oh, I guess I'm probably too close in the border. That's probably what that is. Okay, we'll eat a meal. Let's just pop down and see, let's be able first. and see if... Oh yeah, there, right there, right there. Okay, what does this guy have? Two iron longsword. We'll grab it, because I think we're going to get right back to town here very, very shortly. Come back up here, heel up, up back down. We'll just cheese the ability for them to see us, I think. Okay, we'll come here. Are these... are the fireflies mad at us, that one is. Now that all are, yeah, that attracts. Grab that, grab that, grab this. And then we'll run up. because I don't want to, don't necessarily want to die to a bunch of dragonflies. Ah, yes, no more, we have no more bullets. Oh, yeah, that's not great. Okay, oh, dang it, died to an explosion of a boom rose. Okay, so yeah, we only made it 15 minutes this time. This is what happens sometimes. So, yeah, we got blown up by that guy trying to shoot these guys. That's okay. So, we survived for a thousand turns and had 9,000 points. Our shade oil injector was our very best item. Yeah, you know, I would have liked to last a little bit longer, but that's okay. You know what? Sometimes that happens. That's the fun of the game. So if you want to play daily, you'll get the same exact character every single time. You'll start in the same place every single time for that day, right? So if you want to give it a shot, highly encourage it. Until next time, until tomorrow, I guess. That's me signing off. So as always, Happy Gaming.
