CoinHI Pillar of the Community United States 2731 Posts	Posted 08/16/2025 8:04 pm I haven't seen this before so maybe I can get some confirmation on what this is.

Petespockets55 Pillar of the Community United States 5770 Posts	Posted 08/16/2025 11:46 pm I would agree with the above. That is some knarley Die Deterioration Doubling, as Bill and Ted might say.
