Endless Mode really do mean endless. not just theoretically you could go on forever, no you actually will go on forever. had made visits to the Vampire Survivors subreddit and saw it said "no 'help i cant die' posts" and i wondered, how crazy long must it take to get to that point. however long it takes, it's less than 20 hours, because i'm there. i unlocked a funny evolution for this guy and thought "uh oh" as soon as i noticed how much his health was not going down
the problem is it doesn't get any harder. the game is balanced around 30-minute runs, and after 30 minutes in endless it just loops back around, meanwhile i'm only getting beefier. but i now understand the endgame here is essentially turning this into an idle game and breaking it as much as possible. i see posts about people eventually buying trillions of golden eggs that raise a character's stats, and watching gameplay of that is like watching body horror. as of now i can afford a humble dozen carton of eggs. so endless is apparently for AFK farming gold but i did not go in with a good farming setup. i went in with a wanting to be killed at some point setup

whoops! there's a "final boss" i hadn't beaten. and these two screenshots - the first before the fight and the second after it - really do sum up this whole game

that's vampire game i suppose. i went and bought the DLCs last night, and i'm kind of wishing i'd waited it out a little longer. now there's a ton more stuff in the completion lists, and i was getting pretty close to seeing it at 100%.....
