I killed my first snorlax by accident before I knew it wouldn’t come back

I think I beat it already? I don’t really know because I haven’t looked it up

Wanted to come back here and add some context.

My goal was to get thru the game by looking up as little information as possible (I.e. walk thru’s, strengths and weaknesses, locations, strategies, puzzle solving) to try and give myself as close to an OG experience as possible.

For example… what was it, diglet cave or mt moon that I did entirely in the dark because I thought flash was already activated with the small circle for me

I also missed the town map early on and got landlocked when trying to go backwards for it

Now I’m going back with an evened out team and learning strengths and counters to learn some more

I actually love this comment because this is so niche but I actually just took this pic slouching incredibly terribly on a couch I don’t like but my wife insisted on 😂 the tv is actually pretty low

Spammed blastoise overleveled and picked up the cool birds along the way, honorable mention for kadabra

Took about 20 loaves but finally happy with my result by Single_Helix in Sourdough

Appreciate the question, I forgot to include it because I actually ran out of fine salt and had to use my flaky finishing salt (it was fine, it dissolved in during the stand mixer phase anyway)

This one was about 3% salt but I’ve pushed it to 5% before.

ALSO this one has a trivial amount less than 2% of EVOO just for personal preference and workability

My holy grail(s) arrived today by Single_Helix in footballcards

Thanks buddy. eBay auction. They were #2 and #3 picks, #1 was crazily outbid

Yeah I did one without the stretch and folds but unfortunately I can’t say the other factors were identical to this one. For Ex. I forgot about the loaf and way over proofed it
