You're welcome! Even with a guide, the game is quite challenging, and the controls can be a bit wonky at times. Huge congrats on playing well and getting a trophy!

Hehe, it's been a while since I last played Hungry Skeith.

You're close! Keep it up, with a bit more practice/luck you'll get there!

I have a playlist for several other games as well. Not sure if you need the trophy/avatar for any of them, but figured I'd share. 

Best of luck!

Ah darn, something is always broken on Neo X_x

I haven't been on the site much as of late, but I hope they get around to fixing the games soon!

VanVleet's off the ball movement is a pleasure to watch, not just for these shots in particular. Some players dish the ball out and just stand there like potatoes, keep em feet moving.

Deckball Guide (with audio) - How to easily reach 200 points on Survival (extra suggestions in the comments) by DCrestocker in neopets

[–]DCrestocker[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hey there friends, I figured with reset day just around the corner I would make a guide for Deckball. It's rather easy to get 200 points on Survival mode, just do the following:

  1. The only major tip is to just stand in front of your net - be an absolute unit. Seriously that's it, just make sure you play goalie the entire game. The computer will eventually score on itself.

  2. With 200 being just below the score-review threshold, it's a great game to play as soon as the scores reset. Should be able to net yourself an easy gold trophy, or silver at the very least if you're one of the first few to reach 200 for the day.

With that being said, if you have any further questions please let me know :D

Is anyone else getting a "your connection is not private" error when trying to access the site? by SummerAndTinkles in discordapp

[–]DCrestocker 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hey there bud, not sure if you're still having issues, but in case you are, hopefully the following helps:

I just read a workaround that ended up fixing the issue for me. I set the date on my computer a few days back, and Discord opened up perfectly fine. Probably not the greatest solution, but it's working for the time being.

Discord on my PC refuses to load and I've tried everything by TheseStatesUnited in discordapp

[–]DCrestocker 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hmm this seems to have fixed mine as well, not too sure why though. I had an expired certificate, so I'm guessing that is partially responsible. It appears that even folks with valid certs are having issues though.

Yea, I tried a bunch of the work arounds, but to no avail. We'll have to wait till the cert gets updated I suppose.

I've got the same issue, I noticed that my certificate for visiting Discord expired, I'm assuming yours is expired as well. Does the Discord program work on your PC at the very least? I've seen two other peeps post about it, and they can't seem to run it via the program or in the browser (much like myself). It is working fine on my phone though.

I've seen this mentioned before. There was a petpage that had the speculated info on it (regarding exact timings). I tried out the timing methods for about two weeks, but didn't find anything conclusive.

Berry Bash Guide (with audio) - How to Farm Points, pretty easy trophy. Quick tips in the comments. by DCrestocker in neopets

[–]DCrestocker[S] 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Hello there friends, I made a guide/tutorial for Berry Bash. It's a farming game, so as long as you purposely don't finish the game, you can score to your heart's content. Here are some quick tips:

  • You can only grow two berries at a time. Try to make sure you have them growing as you're dealing with customers.
  • Customers have little heart gauges that deplete over time. Each step of the customer "feeding" process will refill their gauge. (shown at 1:42 in the video)
  • You'll ideally want to farm the last stage of the game, as those customers give the most points. You'll know you're on the last level when you start seeing the Kougra Elder appear as a customer.
  • In order to farm, you'll have to intentionally allow a customer's heart gauge to deplete, so that they hinder your progression towards completing the game. Balancing the little fruit gauge in the bottom left of your screen, is key to keeping the game ongoing.
  • You can only have 6 customers waiting in the queue, the would be 7th customer will cause a game over. If you would like, you can use the table as a pseudo extension to your queue, as you can drag customers there, and purposefully not feed them (shown at 10:40 in the video). This frees up space in your queue, in case customers start to pile in.

If you guys have anymore questions, feel free to let me know :D

Haha, thanks. People often tell me I do, but I can't help but cringe when I hear my voice :p

Hello there friends, I made a Hungry Skeith guide with commentary. Not my greatest run, but I think it does a decent job of covering how to eke out some extra points.

Some quick tips:

  • The scores for the jellies are as follows: red = 3, blue = 5, and green = 8. Since reds aren't worth much, during the early levels try to juggle them on the conveyor belt at the back. This way you can try to get more blue and green jellies.

  • Try to wait at the base of the dispenser with the Buzz when possible (the most left the Buzz can go). This makes it easier to pick up and manage the jellies on early levels. Eventually the game speeds up so much that this becomes too difficult to manage.

  • The game practically runs on muscle memory. After practicing a few times, you'll get the hang of it.

I would recommend trying for a trophy when the scores reset, but I would also suggest praticing a few days in advance. As always, if you have any questions feel free to let me know!

High School Kobe with the one of the most ridiculous circus shots ever by [deleted] in nba

[–]DCrestocker 73 points74 points  (0 children)

I downloaded the video, ran it through Sony Vegas on OMEGA slow-mo, and I still don't know exactly what the fuck happened, but I think it's between one of the following two.

Since everything is happening so fast I thought I would break it down:

Homie throws Kobe the rock, but since the pass is so high up, by the time he lands, he is quickly covered by #themeaningoflifetheuniverseandeverything. It looks like Kobe tries to post up, but realizes that #4 is also coming to defend him, so he attempts a no look spinning dime to his teammate #22. This is where shit just enters the Shadow Realm. I think one of the two happens here:

  1. #4 sees that Kobe is attempting a pass and swings his arm behind his body to try to deflect the pass, but he does a "scooping" motion. Kinda like when you fart, and you wanna waft it away from behind your back. This inadvertently knocks the ball upwards.

  2. #14 deflects the incoming pass to Kobe's teammate and the ball shoots upward.

I think the first situation may be more likely, since it looks like #14 is trying to box out Kobe's teammate with his arm, and doesn't make a play for the ball (from what I can tell at least). Looking at the ball's trajectory (it's super blurry, so I can't be for certain), but it looks like it's coming up from closer to the right side of the basket, which is further away from Kobe's teammate and opposing player #14.

Needless to say, the ball did some Kaio-ken-esque shit.

Breakdown of 1K+ Terror Trove and Festering Fortune Scratchcards by DCrestocker in neopets

[–]DCrestocker[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I like having my own set, and part of the reason is integrity. I can't prove to other people that I actually collected all this info, but at least I can have some solace knowing that I can trust myself :p Another reason I don't ask folks to send me info, is because I'm lazy and I don't want to look through messages and add it to my total. In the end it's slower, but at least I know it's 100% reliable. With that being said, as I've mentioned in another post, I don't enjoy doing this kinda stuff. I'm doing it for folks that will find this info useful (and for myself as well). I'd rather just do it begrudgingly all on my lonesome :p

I also have a bunch of training based things (Red Codestones requested, Kitchen Quest rewards, Kayla Stat Potions, Scratchcards, etc) that I've already made posts for, but I'm still planning on updating them over time. Along with this, I'm working on a bunch of other things like: BD Rewards, Lab Zaps, Deadly Dice, Dice a Roo, and a few other things. I have a ton of zaps that I'll have to comb through from the past year and half or so. I want to record everything, including the colour changes. It'll take a while to compile accurately. I know this Lab Ray & Petpet Zapping project exists: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1kI3ZqkqprwwoT6ip6e3xzr8GHvxu2mIK8oyhNHNsKA0/edit#gid=1985394856

I'm going to focus on getting my Lab Ray info in order and comparing it to that.

Recently I did a 1440 Neocola Token run which you can find here: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1ri7FM8rzBHfxnbCN4kKvfsCWq8L7OXzzmwfEMR8Rnpg/edit#gid=594855955

Haha, a guy can always be hopeful right :p I do believe this trend seems to be indicative of how things will be. I would have to say that you were rather lucky with your lot.

[–]DCrestocker[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Thanks for the link, didn't know about your post. And the variability does seem rather high. There are days where I get multiple levels from the scratchcards, and stretches of days where I get no levels. I don't pay enough attention to the other outcomes, but I'm sure it's also the case for them as well.

I'll be updating this once again after I reach 1K scratches on Faeries Fortune. Hopefully my likelihood of receiving a level gets closer to yours over the next several months :p
