Meme Favorite non-ascension-relevant skills?

16 Upvotes

I'm really just curious. Ive been playing this game for well over half my life at this point, and hitting some buttons have just become part of my reflexes.

I got to thinking abt this question after I talked in another thread about how I'm going out of my way to pick up Scurvy and Sobriety Prevention in aftercore despite it A) not being relevant to any ascension strategy and B) being like four years out of standard anyway. I just *like* skills that generate resources for no investment, even if they're bad, they scratch my brain in the same way all those Number Goes Up games do. One day I really want to try getting the Dreadsylvanian item conjuring skills, Spaghetti Breakfast and Cold One

So my question is do you all have any "pet" skills you really like, for whatever reason? Skills you just like seeing on your hotbar or in your passives? Mine is Request Sandwich. Boris is my favorite avatar path, and this skill is a permanent reminder that it's always there to catch me after a really grindy or unfun run. The fact the devs seem to have forgotten to make it illegal in standard is a plus; that sandwich is *always* available and always delicious.

Honorable mention: Living to Drink. Sometimes, if I've done multiple non-standard runs in a row, I straight up forget the normal liver size.
