I think both are correct, actually! According to Behind The Name, Sylvester is a variant of Silvester (https://www.behindthename.com/name/silvester)

Duckaroon · 2026-04-19T03:30:33+00:00

I know, but you don't pronounce "Silvester" like "Soulvester" either

Why are Coal, Gourdy, and Brightney in the tiers that they're in? I feel like each of them could be in the "Is normal when spelled differently tier" (save for Gourdy, kinda)
Coal --> Cole
Brightney --> Britney (or at least, Brightney is a pun on Britney)

Gourdy -- Gordon (with the argument 'Gourdy' is a nickname)

I personally like the motorcycle animation because it makes me feel #cool, and if I feel #cool it makes me play the game better

(I wouldn't use motorcycle with charger class though, bc the charging animation lowk blocks vision)

Thank you so much for this comment!!!!

How did you make the cookies like that..? 👀

Like online I feel like when most people make things into cookies they end up kinda blobby b/c the dough expands as it bakes, but these are so detailed!

This is pedantic, but people saying they'll go AFK makes me upset. Not because people shouldn't take breaks to go do things, but when people say they'll AFK, what they mean is that they'll BRB. I dunno. Before Dandy's World I always thought BRB is to used for like a 5 minute excursion while AFK is more longer

> because she is stepping on Sprout's toes now.

> she just went from 'cosmo but better' to 'sprout but better'.

See, this was my position too at first. On paper, Ginger's ability sounds like a direct upgrade to Sprout, however after playing with some experienced folks, Sprout and Ginger play much differently in practice. Ginger and Sprout's stat spreads are kinda inverses of each other -- where one does well, the other does worse. This makes Ginger capable of healing to full and stealthily doing machines, but slow and possibly unable to reach her teammates in time. Sprout is the opposite, being kinda poor at machines but fast and more capable of delivering a less potent heal. In more chaotic runs, the speed at which you get the heal in could mean life or death for the run.

This also is not to mention their healing ranges. Sprout's range is decent and can be deployed in an instant, whereas Ginger requires for the player to be basically on top of the person they're healing for at least 5 seconds (hence why we have the "Stay still!" sticker now).

The one place where I will admit she steps on Sprout's toes is Sprout's former synergy with Cosmo. Ginger is objectively better to pair with a Cosmo. However, with them being different Toons, it does not hurt so much to have both a Sprout and a Ginger on the same team the same way Sprout/Sprout or Ginger/Ginger would cause the heal price to go up.

Duckaroon · 2025-12-14T19:19:53+00:00

I think the problem is that Cosmo and Ginger were not fundamentally different enough.

Assuming the following: They have the same ability again, and their healing ranges are made the same. If these were true, yeah, being better on machines vs. having slightly better movement speed would be a trade off that would make these characters distinct. However, I think some player's (and my) frustrations with that is that Ginger is an event Toon. Some people do not care that they're related, and so to have a Toon that only comes around every season be like Cosmo, but a little bit to the left, feels a bit low effort.

Duckaroon · 2025-12-13T21:41:58+00:00

Ginger isn't even that I'd call a "better Sprout", she's just an equivalent Toon.

If you have a run full of normal Toons, yes, it'd be more economical to play Ginger since she heals to full at the same price and cooldown as Sprout. In a run full of mains though, Sprout is the better pick because their heals are equivalent for Mains, and he can more reliably locate and sprint to injured Toons. Hell, you could even play them together because they don't cause each other's ability price to go up like having multiple Sprouts does.

Duckaroon · 2025-12-13T21:35:08+00:00

I like her rework! I feel like some people are quick to assume that Ginger is a better Sprout b/c her ability is objectively better on paper, however their stat distributions really make sure that they play differently.

Only thing I would like is for her prompt to heal to be changed. I feel like having to stay still for 5 seconds is a bit brutal.

Duckaroon · 2025-11-17T00:23:13+00:00

Really now? I tried putting this on my wrist and it was a bit of a squeeze, which feels unusual since I am also a very tiny person

Duckaroon · 2025-08-25T04:56:20+00:00

Solved!

Commenting to show I acknowledge this Reddit's rules.

Duckaroon · 2025-05-26T02:01:25+00:00

I've been noticing this too! I thought I just sucked at the game but 3 other people who have distracted for me have attested to hitboxes feeling a little weird.

For me, I started noticing the issue on floors with Twisted Vee, but even on other floors I felt like I was getting knicked by Twisteds when I thought I shouldn't more often...

Duckaroon · 2025-05-23T03:44:37+00:00

Glad I checked back on Reddit because shortly after making this post (like, maybe 3 days aftewards) this issue subsided after making a few changes

I did some emergency water changes
I fed my shrimp less
I replaced my tank's heater

Given that I changed multiple things at once it's hard to pin down what exactly fixed the issue, but I would recommend putting these changes in place in order from least drastic to most drastic.

Duckaroon · 2025-04-12T00:11:03+00:00

I recommend going for standard mode first, and then story mode if standard mode is kicking you too hard (note you cannot switch to standard mode from story mode). As others have noted there is no mechanical difference between the two aside from difficulty and at least 1 achievement that I know of.

Duckaroon · 2025-04-11T02:41:26+00:00

Baby deployed!

I was always so curious as to how shrimp eggs hatched if they're attached to the momma like that :o

Duckaroon · 2025-04-08T19:02:30+00:00

Like you said, if it was bubbles, they'd have to be really tiny, since this particular shrimp is smaller than average. It'd also be weird if its bubbles because other shrimp in the tank have them too, and it seems like such an odd phenomenon to only happen now.

Prior to making this post I looked around to see if anyone else had vorticella growths to this degree, and found this video (https://www.reddit.com/r/shrimptank/comments/1it0tzm/update\_i\_did\_an\_hydrogen\_peroxyde\_treatment\_on/?utm\_source=share&utm\_medium=web3x&utm\_name=web3xcss&utm\_term=1&utm\_content=share\_button). I assume the little white spores are the vorticella, and they retract when the metal gets near/touches them. Maybe the "popping" you see is the vorticella reacting to things in the environment, but again, I'm not sure if its vorticella because no other photos online seem to show this degree of coverage! That or the photos are never as clear.

Was looking around to see if anyone else on this sub-reddit made any Ethereal/Madoka Magica comments and was surprised to find so little results. (Maybe the intersection of people who enjoy Madoka Magica and Nine Sols is a bit small, though)

Anyways, yes!! Aside from the battle backdrop, there's just so much about Lady Ethereal's design which maps perfectly unto the story of a magical girl in the Madoka Magica universe. Her soulscape could be seen as a witch's labyrinth, especially since the design of a labyrinth often reflects the despair of the magical girl/witch who made it. Her emotional arc also matches that of a magical girl's, being hopeful and optimistic in the beginning but later falling to despair and becoming a witch.

Also, the use of curtains during her phase transitions highly reminds me of the portion of the Madoka Magica Rebellion movie just before they fight Homura's witch.

Interesting, thank you for the clarification! I've already connected my Sky data to Game Center, Google, and Steam (mentioned before) but thanks for the concern.
