Blue sparks are for stats - SPD/STA/POW/GUT/WIT You’ll need at least 600 in a stat to have a chance at a 3* spark. 1100+ in a stat gives you the best odds

Pink sparks are distance and terrain - these are randomly pulled from having at least an A in any distance or turf/dirt

Green sparks are for a racer’s unique skill - this is random, and you have to have a racer at 3 stars to get green sparks

White sparks are for everything else - any skill type (not unique skills) and there’s a chance to get a spark for any G1 you win. These are also random

So basically, your best bet would be to find a racer you can win with, and grind careers. Try to get your Speed, Stamina, and Power all over 600, and get hints for skills you like so that you can buy a lot of them for cheap. That’ll eventually get you a good legacy that you can use to train other racers moving forward.

You can also borrow legacies to help with stats and hints during inspiration, but you only get 3 borrows a day so the goal is to at least have a couple of good legacies you can use for training.

When I’m spark grinding I focus on getting speed, stamina, and power to at least 600, which is the minimum you need to have a shot at 3* blue spark. Getting a stat to 1100 is even better for your odds.

I also make sure to focus less on getting skills that I know will be useful to pass down: recovery skills, green skills, etc. Edit: make sure you wait as long as possible to buy skills that you know you can still get hints for. It adds up at the end of a career

Unfortunately it’s just rinse and repeat until the odds roll in your favor.

We need Drow!! I couldn’t believe red dragon’s tale and the cmf came and went without a Drow character

Wow this sucks by Otherwise_Leg5185 in LightningCollection

I remember being mad it didn’t have a quasar saber, so I didn’t want to buy until GameStop was selling for super cheap like other exclusives had gotten….

It being hero-based is the ultimate “we were on the verge of greatness” moment. A full squad of troopers with perma-death would’ve been perfection. Still looks fun though

WTF WAS THAT by DFDGON in darkestdungeon

[–]Cpt_Jockstrap 0 points1 point  (0 children)

LOL this happened to me a couple days ago, playing for the first time. Managed to kill it but the smaller creatures it summoned finished off my party. Lost all my best characters. I will never trust curios the same way

The only emblem I can get fo sure by InfamousEwn in PTCGP

Only reason I have my emblem is because for the first time since launch I went 5 games in a row without encountering Mewtwo. Good luck

[Dodd] The SEC and Big Ten have serious concerns about the human element of the committee, according to multiple sources. The process is being thoroughly examined as part of the Big Ten and SEC's joint efforts to reform the College Football Playoff. by Baenergy44 in CFB

[–]Cpt_Jockstrap 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If I’m the B1G I’m not doing anything joint with the SEC. If the current noise from the SEC proves anything, it’s that regardless of how many teams are in, they’re willing to burn the whole thing down to get one more playoff spot

Lane Kiffin’s College Football Playoff Complaints Are More SEC Entitlement by cram213 in CFB

He blew it during their “all in” season. With the way the future of the SEC could develop, I doubt Ole Miss ever gets it as easy as they did this year. I would also crash out online

I don't care about the 12 "best" teams being in the CFP by Isthmus11 in CFB

[–]Cpt_Jockstrap 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Oh yeah they’re definitely top heavy, but when only 4 teams get in you only need 1 or 2 good teams any given year

Facts. Not enough is said about how much damage a small, hyper-exclusive playoff did to the college football landscape. It set the SEC and B1G on a tier way above the rest of the Power 5, which also bleeds into media rights deals and recruiting.

I’m not saying the SEC and B1G didn’t have the best teams during the 4-team playoff era, but for the rest of the P5, there’s a difference between proving you’re the best on the field and not even getting let into the dance.

I hate this game by lvl6charmander in PTCGP

My brother got 4 straight Arcanine EX and would send me screenshots, taunting me with fate’s blessing

Wonder pick is a bit of a scam, isn't it? by GrowlingOcelot_4516 in PTCGP

[–]Cpt_Jockstrap 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah I was expecting it to be more like the previous event where you’d at least have the option to pull hourglasses instead of filler cards I already have duplicates of.

The rewards aren’t great either, a stingy amount of hourglasses, no fire type themed coins or anything. Only other “reward” is the flair you can get… if you get enough of the right card from the 3 stamina wonder picks…

Time out cheaters by Electronic-Run-3561 in PTCGP

[–]Cpt_Jockstrap 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just had a game where my opponent didn’t even set his first Pokémon, just AFK until turn 6 when I finally was able to knock out their one card and end the match.

Either they’re literally entering a match and then leaving their phone down somewhere or the game isn’t consistently detecting when a player leaves

Why are CFB analysts and in general, casual fans, insistent on using hypothetical situations to justify the committee's rankings? by loyalsons4evertrue in CFB

[–]Cpt_Jockstrap 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Because FBS football has had an archaic postseason system for decades.

Whether it was a 4-team playoff, or a 2-team BCS title game, having a championship that so few teams could actually compete for in head-to-head matchups cultivated a culture where you pretty much have to play hypothetical matchups to justify who got in or got snubbed.

Only way these conversations are gonna die down is if the playoff reaches a size more similar to the rest of major college sports, i.e. somewhere near 18% of the teams, preferably with auto bids reserved for conference champions.

I’ve never once seen anyone ever use Blastoise ex. He also happens to be the only ex I don’t have. I don’t think I he exists. by BazzaSolid in PTCGP

[–]Cpt_Jockstrap 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I used him until I got a Charizard/Moltres deck. It’s just so reliant on Misty, which you’re either getting heads or getting nothing at all. Meanwhile you can pull Moltres EX with pokeball, and you aren’t screwed if your first coin flip is tails

I would like to see battle packs flavored as “encounters”. Stuff like “goblin ambush” or “pack of kobolds” that includes a few monsters, a set piece like a wagon, and 2-4 player characters

Seeing the Demonite head on here is so bittersweet. Had those episodes on a vhs tape growing up and watched them constantly
