The term "earworm" is widely used for a song that gets stuck in your head, but I feel like there's another more classically derived word for it. At first I thought it was something that ends in -lalia (ala glossolalia, echolalia), but that suffix specifically denotes speech disorder. Maybe I read a blog or Reddit post or something a long while back were someone mistakenly conflated "earworm" and "echolalia".

CA: Monday or Tuesday we saw a new type of event roll out: "Other-Realm Adventure". Spend stam during the event to gain side rewards of "mana potions", spend mana potions to roll for [trash, trash, event monster]; collect drops from event monsters toward new generals, pets, and new belt-slot equipment.
I've been putting daily Elf Mine resources into my Thunder Eagle pet, but it turns out breaking the Hell Viper / Wood Dragon combo in my monster-hunting loadout drives crit rate from over 100% down to ~85%. With crits tripling damage on average, keeping crit rate close to 100% is the single most effective loadout goal. Uncapping and leveling-up Hell Viper is much more important than Thunder Eagle right now. I'll have to keep Wood Dragon in the 3rd pet array slot on that loadout for a while yet.
I'm not confident Hell Viper will ever be the total solution; pushing crit rate to 100% without Wood Dragon might be impossible until I collect/reshape more chaos gems (for Elf Assassin Bow, Death Grip magic, and one of t?) and promote Moonlight Dragon more.
