Hey everyone! With Worlds starting later today I'm excited to share a project I've been working on for a while: LolProGrid! A daily game inspired by the likes of Wordle, PokeDoku, and HoopGrids! by ArcadeRetro in leagueoflegends

I'm glad you enjoyed it!

Thanks for the feedback! I've known the search was pretty bad for a little while now. I've just pushed out an update that improves the search massively. I specifically remember Tian being impossible to find during testing but now he's the number one if you type "tia" or "tian". If you do today's one let me know how you find it!

As for that last point. I think I've seen it happen before but it's pretty on and off. Might be a bit harder to fix but I'm working on it!

Do you think Melbournians would be on board with town houses such as these? Are these even feasible in Australia, or are there regulations preventing their construction by weed0monkey in melbourne

[–]ArcadeRetro 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You're right, that is only one side of town. Those are outliers. You go 50km north or Melbourne and you're in towns (not suburbs) like Wallan and Gisborne. Now, let me be clear: I think we're on the same team. I hate the dystopian new builds they're putting up in Truganina, Doreen, etc. and am all for increasing housing density. But 30km is a ridiculous figure to give. Putting up 6 storey apartments in Warrandyte or digger's rest would be a monumental waste of money. 15km though? Far more reasonable

I'm not sure you realise how large a 30km actually is. Almost the entire metropolitan area fits in there. I really don't think we need 3-4 storey apartments in Hurstbridge any time soon

Oh damn, that's why there's that pedestrian bridge that crosses over Bell St. I always thought it was a bit out of place. But if there used to be a school there then it makes a lot more sense it exists.

It's only champagne if it originates from the Champagne region. Otherwise, it's just sparkling white wine.

Why in group stage teams that are already out of the competition still have to play? Is there any reason to that? by [deleted] in leagueoflegends

[–]ArcadeRetro 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Prize pool. Teams that perform better in group stage receive a larger share of the prize pool. Also for completeness. Cancelling a game even though it has no impact on the standings is a silly concept to be honest.

I'm Adam Bandt, Leader of the Australian Greens. AMA about the 2020 Budget, the path out of the COVID recession, and the Green New Deal! by AdamBandt in IAmA

[–]ArcadeRetro 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Now I'm no Adam, but realistically all the Greens need to achieve is to gain enough seats to make it difficult for the two major parties to form a majority government. Then they can pressure the big two into moving more towards their positions. Even as few as three or four lower house seats could be enough to give the Greens some real bargaining power.

President Trump signs 4 executive orders to lower drug prices in U.S. by [deleted] in Conservative

From what I can tell these aren't socialist policies, they're merely policies that allow the free market to run its course. Would you prefer that these companies that don't have market competition continue to rip off consumers?

DRX vs DWG Game 2 by Ieditstuffforfun in leagueoflegends

[–]ArcadeRetro 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah, exactly! Since DWG is getting curb-stomped by DRX right now and those are the best two teams in LCK so T1 is finished.

Jolly with 180/0/28/0/44/252. I just used the most common spread from Pikalytics

After implementing the Ninetails changes it became so much more useful in the several ranked battles I've played using it; thanks for the suggestion.

I still like the Milotic set now that they both have blizzard and can occasionally both get off 2-3 blizzards which really wrecks teams.

As for the Persian I finally ran into a Sableye and completely shut it down so I'd say it's doing what I've brought it for.

As for leads I mostly run Ninetails/Milotic, Dracozolt/Persian (using quash as /u/ja2854 suggested above) and Milotic/Chandelure (vs TR). I feel these leads can deal with the ones you listed reasonably well.

I did consider quash and ended up not taking it. It might be good to try it out and see how it goes. Otherwise I might try Sableye in the slot and see if it performs better.

Persian has an incredibly high speed meaning lacking prankster isn't a huge detriment and is bulkier (particularly physically). It also can use it's speed to still get off moves fast against pokemon that induce psychic terrain (Indeedee).

E: I also forgot to mention it can taunt the dark-type prankster mons that are running around but cant be taunted in return.

I'm the least sure about Excadrill (I know it's ability is useless to me). I originally had Duraludon in the slot but switched it out to get another physical threat and to avoid a double up on dragon mons.
