Let me guess, that's crypto value, because no one in their sane mind would pay $60K in real money for crude, combinational images. I hope this, and Bored Ape Yacht Club still exist many years in the future, just to remind our descendan

Completely agree here, scaling enemy stats is cheap and boring, "you are supposed to last 10 minutes in this fight, so the boss has 20x the damage and health because you overleveled" kind of boring.
