Well that was an unexpectedly productive evening!
First off, I managed to deal with Singe. I think being less tired helped somewhat.
This got me a very cool weapon with flamethrower mod which proved to be useful absolutely everywhere else tonight.
Then I managed to help @Fumanstu with a bad case of the nutsacks. Otherwise known as Gorefist. I mean seriously, Gorefist as your first real boss is a total bastard. 😊 We were also accompanied by a decent enough rando.
And then after a bit of a trek backwards. I managed to solo Gorefist in my own world, to which I say, YEEEESSSSSSSSSS!
AND, I had serious WTActualF moment after Singe and unlocked the next area/tile set. I think that counts as forward momentum. \o/
