I have created my hardest level ever. (147076768)

It's inspired by Sary Never Clear, and it's supposed to have awful gameplay. I think it's around list demon difficulty. NOBODY is ludicrous enough to verify this.

Thank you to OneZircon for showcasing this

Update: polished the crusty lead weights

It took about an hour and a half. I used three different grades of steel wool and a lot of elbow grease. It's not the best thing in the world, but this was literally my first time polishing metal.

New samples off Facebook Marketplace

I got these samples from a really nice man who was selling some old junk in his shed. Got them for real cheap. To the left are some silver-plated spoons, and to the right are some old lead fishing weights. I'm planning on cleaning the weights soon.

My sample of antimony broke during shipping

Recently, I bought a set of 55 elements from a company named Moderock. Unfortunately, there was a defect in one of the glass ampoules which caused it to break at the top, releasing tiny pieces of antimony all over the bag. I had to very carefully remove and clean out each sample that was contaminated using gloves. Fortunately, everything that touched the dust was either put in a tightly-sealed bag, or cleaned with rubbing alcohol. I reached out to the company, and they said that they would send me a new sample for free.

Might as well show off my element collection made of random samples and household knick-knacks

More specifically, I got copper tubing, uranium from uranium glass, magnesium from a fire starter, gold from gold leaf, phosphorus from match striker pads, lead from fishing weights, americium from a smoke detector, tungsten from incandescent lightbulb filaments, aluminum from foil, tin from different fishing weights, carbon from pencil lead, a silver coin, and zinc from a sanded down American penny.
