This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.

Be warned:

If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

Again, I think I understand what I need to do for one puzzle, but if I'm right I need to draft 8 specific rooms all in the same run (I'm hoping I'm wrong and can come up with some other answer). That's...easier said than done barring a lot of luck. It's very much that I'm pretty sure I know what the puzzle is and what the solution is but the game is unwilling to let me draft what I need to solve it.

I'm pretty sure one of my missing rooms from the directory is some kind of elevated clock room ("High up among all the clocks", the only "high up" room I've really got is the Attic and the only room with a lot of clocks is the Den so it feels like I need a new room), but I'm a few dozen days in and haven't seen one.

If you're post room 46 you probably know what puzzle I'm talking about, and I've got 5/8 of the keys and the puzzle behind one door solved. The third one I'm missing is almost certainly in one of the lockboxes in the Vault, but that's a matter of time and luck to get vault, the right deposit box key and enough steps to get from one to the other in the same day. It's another case where it's not an interesting puzzle or mystery, it's waiting on RNG to allow me to do the thing. Getting those keys, figuring out the puzzles behind the doors, and finding the rest of the red envelopes are my current big goals.

And boy do I wish that I'd got the coat check the only run to date where I got all the parts for the power hammer. Currently got the emerald bracelet in mine, which is nice but...
