My "refuse to get an Ankylo as my first log-stomper and do dumb stuff to advance anyways" challenge is going, uhh...
Game day 12: Fortunately I think this is funny because now I'm watching two Hot Wheels racing down a plastic track wondering which will win the race:
1. Pick up 70 more special Forest sticks day by day, stick by stick.
2.Get a (jailbroken) log-stomper dino dumped straight into my lap during the Triassea Picnic.
(I was tempted to note a third Hot Wheels on the track labeled "override my no-ankylo policy via RNG yeeting a pride flag ankylo at me" but on reflection, if that happened I'd tame it but not use it, because I'm so invested in this silly challenge now.)
Hot Wheels #3 came flying off an unrelated course and beaned me in the head while Hot Wheels #1 and #2 appear to have timed things wrong and crashed into each other when crossing tracks: the picnic has delivered unto me a friend, but friend's Trust takes forever and they won't give me saddle privileges until right around the point where I finish the day-by-day plink without them.
The meta-chaos is funny to me so I'm down with that, but that's not how I expected things to turn out!
