Sterno

So much meth went into the decorating of that house.

I also see they listed it for about $1.5 million last year

Now they're down to a mere $339k

Bought it for $243k in 2001. Tried to sell for $450k in 2013. That didn't work, so raised it to 1.5 million in 2015. That didn't work, so went back down to $440k. Then back to 1.5 million. Then 285k. Then 1.25 million. Then 475k. Now 340k.

Whoever owns that is deeply, deeply disturbed

Q: Is there any incentive to play Junkenstein's Revenge on harder difficulties?

The Halloween event Junkenstein's Revenge has three difficulty options to choose from - easy, medium, and hard. Aside from playing at a level that feels challenging enough to be enjoyable, is there any reward difference (EXP or other unlockables) that would encourage playing at higher difficulties?
