Subject: [PATCH] Update biomes.ts: Cave's Beach link changed to Lake

Replacing Cave's Beach link with Lake would weaken the "water loop", a situation where players get continually routed back to Beach, leading to frustration. Lake is a crossroads biome that connects to much of the rest of the game, while still connecting to Beach, making it not a drastic detour.

Infernal Vulpix simulated a hypothetical 10k wave endless run for me to see the difference this change would have on biome frequencies. Apologies for the broken formatting from me copying this from Discord:
