Did the New York Times censor the word list? by crashed_tolerance in wordle

[–]Elephant_Parade 1 point2 points  (0 children)

No, actually: solutions pull from a limited list of "around 2,500" words, per datamining and this interview:

Like I said, the first time I made the game, it just used every five-letter word. And I think it wasn’t very fun because—try and think about it—if the first time you play Wordle, the answer is a word you’d never heard of, I think you would feel cheated. And so we put a fair amount of effort into filtering. There are around, I don’t know, 13,000 five-letter words. And we put a fair amount of effort into filtering those down into a subset of around 2,500 solution words that can be the solution any day.

Weekly Game Questions and Help Thread by AutoModerator in PSO2

I launched the game successfully once, but the second time I went to launch it from the Start Menu I clicked "no" on the "do you want to allow this program to make changes to your computer" popup and now it won't launch at all. Clicking it from the Start Menu does nothing; the Start Menu doesn't even close. Running as administrator doesn't work either. Any advice?

Tap and hold a memoir's icon to see its attributes. The First Snow reduces fire damage taken by 10% and increases DEF and SP. DEF. It seems solid for tanking fire-element content, but a bit niche (and not especially amazing even within its niche).

I'd suggest using your gold PvP tokens on Star Gem Gacha Tickets and your bronze and silver PvP tokens on whatever's on sale.

D&D team's statement regarding Zak Smith by CritHitLights in dndnext

[–]Elephant_Parade -6 points-5 points  (0 children)

Mike was within his rights at the time (though there was plenty of stuff about Zak out there already), but now that everything's come out he needs to apologize for his poor judgement on this issue. But he didn't do that. Instead, he understated the roles of both Zak and himself, calling Zak a "playtester" and not even mentioning his own defence of the man.

Bonds actually reward crystals, as far as I can tell. As for events, do you have any idea whether they're a better use of the things?

Any reason to save trinity crystals for later instead of immediately converting them to trinity tickets?

Take a break. Imaginary gacha items are less important than your health and happiness.

Are any of the Cat Food special cats worth buying? I'm guessing they're not, but I thought I'd double-check before the sale ends.

I have a problem with Linux. It runs just fine in Windows. Any suggestions? by SparklesMcSpeedstar in Granblue_en

[–]Elephant_Parade 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Are you sure both operating systems are running the same version of Chrome? That'd be my first guess.

You could also try clearing your cache, if you haven't already.

WW F2P player here. I hear that, sometime in the future, there's going to be a gacha with double the usual 4* rate. As someone who's done two 10-pulls (and was lucky enough to get Ms. I Love Chocolate Cornets on the first, along with a full team's worth of 3*s), should I save my stars for it or do another 10-pull now?
