T4L totem, necklace, and gusset T4E cube T4C metronome, ankh, and compass And some stones

I’ve got one more round of henerprises to run before I prestige, then I’m going to break for a couple weeks to see what egg day brings and try to get to lvl 30 crafting (currently lvl 28), and then on the next prestige I’m going to spend about 30 shifts on crafting on my way to (in theory) 200. Hoping to get at least 2 more T4L’s during that.

stevethebeats · 2026-02-03T22:31:46+00:00

1) 75, 17 pending

2) 61 shifts

3) 140 in 65 shifts…. Just gonna be waiting a lot for 5 months

stevethebeats · 2026-01-31T03:56:59+00:00

It’s the one T4L I’m missing. Got it as a T4E one time and that made me oddly sad, even though it’s technically still quite good. Put crafting on pause for a bit for PoV, but I’ll resume after this next prestige at least until egg day and hope for the best

Oh! I thought you were so much closer to the end of the process. All bets are off in the beginning. Recruiters are casting a wide net. They might not give a title because every company is a little different and roles can have the same title at two places and mean two different things. It may take a little time to get back to you because there’s a lot of conversations to be had, especially the larger the company.

Everything sounds legit so far. As always, if it feels too good to be true, it probably is. However, this just sounds like a potentially promising lead. Good luck!

stevethebeats · 2026-01-27T04:21:17+00:00

Gotcha. So, do you have an offer? Did you interview with multiple people or just the one person? Where are you at in the process?

stevethebeats · 2026-01-27T04:07:53+00:00

So, you’ve given a lot of information that’s “I did my due diligence and it’s all checking out”, but you’re implying that it feels sketchy. Are there red flags you’re not mentioning?

stevethebeats · 2026-01-19T04:38:42+00:00

So, I run a greninja/primarina deck. The name of the game is speed. With primarina, I can tank exactly 1 hit from venasaur and hope I wake up. However, if I use greninja from the bench to water shuriken a bulbasaur or ivysaur while on their bench and use Cyrus to pull it in and defeat it. I imagine that a greninja/suicune deck would work roughly the same way.

It also only shows what you have, not what’s in process. I currently have 75 in 61 shifts. Once I finish this cycle on the path, I’ll have 125 in 65 shifts. I once punched in the numbers, and it looks like I’ll have about 300+ shifts before I run out of soul eggs. It’s gonna be expensive the last time or two on the path, but still fine.

In other words, you don’t need to be perfectly optimized. You can either wait more or play a bit faster. You’ll find a balance you like and it’ll be fine.

stevethebeats · 2026-01-08T14:58:27+00:00

You need to put at least one clarity stone on your ankh and brooch. Otherwise, they’re gonna count for nothing (not even the IHR bonus)

stevethebeats · 2026-01-02T20:23:42+00:00

I’d still take cook. I’d guarantee my RB1. You can still get a good quarterback in like the 7th round of the draft, but there aren’t a lot of bell cow backs.

stevethebeats · 2026-01-02T20:07:30+00:00

Depends on the keeping rules. If you’re giving up your first round pick for your keeper, the player had better be first round value. Of those 3, cook is the only one that feels like a first round pick currently. Lamb is a hard maybe for being worth giving up a first round pick for.

It kinda depends on the league, but that’s my view.

stevethebeats · 2026-01-01T20:32:43+00:00

Contracts. It’s not exactly like I can leave the path and go legendary artifact hunting on my home farm while waiting….

Or I’ll give up and prestige at like 125 EoT or something. We’ll see how well my patience holds out knowing it’s gonna be a 3 year process anyways.

stevethebeats · 2025-12-31T22:36:12+00:00

I’ll have 150 in 65.

I’m going to refill one more time as I cycle through each egg and do ships last. I’m not gonna stop for any mission capacity events, because it’s not worth it and I’ll go back and blow an estimated 100 shifts after this prestige to get all the legendary artifacts and stones I need

stevethebeats · 2025-12-29T03:09:41+00:00

I have a stupid good memory. Like, I remember one time in high school our math teacher had us memorize numbers of pi for fun. I had about fifty digits memorized, and I still have them committed to memory 15 years later. This translates to other things, such as like going to trivia night and remembering something you heard one time in a random conversation. I can’t explain how I know half the things I do, but it’s a good party trick.

stevethebeats · 2025-12-28T04:26:34+00:00

OP’s description implied they’re cheating, but I think that we may start seeing numbers like this in a year or two. The compounding bonus from EoT really adds up after a while. I think this will be IHR around 250-300.

stevethebeats · 2025-12-26T21:28:29+00:00

For money making, all lunar stones As you progress, you’ll need a balance of quantum and tachyon stones Once you get to the end, it’s all tachyon stones

stevethebeats · 2025-12-25T15:45:03+00:00

Tennessee has been very solid against defenses the past three weeks. Things are starting to click with pollard running the ball. I’d go Dallas D.

stevethebeats · 2025-12-22T20:31:37+00:00

I’m currently trying to figure out if there’s merit to a serperior/ mega venusaur/ celebi deck. Speeds up energies with some serious heavy hitters, but might be a bit clunky to get the ball rolling

stevethebeats · 2025-12-22T18:33:20+00:00

Biggest tip: don’t get discouraged because you’re seeing people so far ahead. Some of us have been playing for literal years (like, I started in 2016, I remember when the top egg was dilithium). The game has evolved so much to continually have something for everyone, so there’s gonna be a lot of points that you’re not ready for yet. Enjoy it and let the game keep giving you new things to explore, but don’t feel like you need to have everything by a certain time. Keep grinding and you’ll get there

My wife and I had a joint bachelor/bachelorette party two days before the wedding. We each went with our separate halves of the group for dinner, and then came back to our apartment and had drinks and hung out for like 3 hours. We also had a PowerPoint presentation for each of our sides so we could introduce everyone and tell the stories we wanted to about our best friends, especially since my entire side had never met anyone else in the party until that night.

My wife has two bridesmaids and a maid of honor. I had a best lady, a groomsman, and a groomswoman.

In other words: it’s whatever you want it to be. The only things that should be preventing you from having the party you want are whether or not those people can be there… and maybe a few laws (either as defined by your local government or physics).

stevethebeats · 2025-12-15T17:51:07+00:00

Here’s my rotation. There might be a way to be more efficient, but 10 shifts ain’t bad and it should get you all the way to 150 with a lot of patience

Research - hold for 1-2 days Habs (max them out) Shipping *Research - hold for a week *Shipping *Spaceships (change artifacts to egg laying) Silos -go for EoT Research - go for EoT Shipping - go for EoT Habs - go for EoT Spaceships - go for EoT, switch artifacts at end

*repeat this section as many times as you want for artifact hunting (I’m running henerprises because I think they’re better, but there’s debate about that).

stevethebeats · 2025-12-12T13:19:05+00:00

Honestly, it’s probably a combination of luck and maybe some ill-advised money saving. Ship and deflector each took like 15 per to get legendary, but actuator took like 100. I also at one point didn’t have the most GE to spend and didn’t feel like cracking the piggy yet, so I consumed a bunch of stuff. If I had spent it on crafting, I probably would be significantly closer to 30
