i'm finding this quite easy, i guess in part because i'm a fast type but also because i have a coherent mental model of the world
this is something i didn't really get around to making clear but those of you who entered hyper mode in the burning city are no longer irradiated

the radiation was literally burned away, like overgrowth during a forest fire

they aren't, in fact

that is to say, during that sporty jaunt through the spirit world, a number of you should have been fairly surprised to 'smell' irradiated to the spirits you met being that at that time you no longer had half-lives (or actual lives)
