but couldn't find jack on it. I had multiple "good-looking" DRs but all of them weren't giving anything, happy I found the panic solution above at least.

decided to take a gamble and not explore that 8+4 for too long since I didn't find anything immediately good with it. I don't know if it was worth it. Found this ls in like the last 10 minutes and had to commit, unfortunately it was a +2 ugh. So not very thrilled with this result.

Found this like 1 minute into checking eos and it ended up being the best thing I had. Didn't check many EOs since those 3 movers were juiced.
Also had a 9+2 that led me to htr in 16 but the htr case was crap and ended up with slice in 25.
What a weird attempt. Don't know how I feel. I definitely think I missed something obvious because of the lack of EOs I checked.
Also amazingly consistent week for me.
