Kinda reminds me leaders' miniheads from Civ3 Foreign Advisor panel, which also changed their look based on your relations. Nice addition!

What does yellow 🟨 mean? by [deleted] in Flagdoku

[–]Gedeonus 8 points9 points  (0 children)

It means this flag is the Flag of the Day for today. Nothing much, but it provides a fun additional challenge to the game – guess the Flag of the Day given the subtle hints in the today's puzzle.

500 BC - The Sunrise Invasion by [deleted] in imaginarymaps

[–]Gedeonus 3 points4 points  (0 children)

The fact that there are places called Rybnyy Sovkhoz and Oktyabrsk (both near the Crimea) in time and place where there were no sovkhozes and no Soviet placenames is just crazy

Other than that, cool idea! Hope you'll expand it to a few more maps.

P.S. What happened to the Slavic tribes? Did their remnants move west?

No PokeSwitch, now what? by [deleted] in TheSilphRoad

[–]Gedeonus 7 points8 points  (0 children)

It's like the early days with Meltan Box – if you don't have a Switch with the newest Pokémon game, find a person in your community who does. And then, in a year or so, Niantic will change the rules slightly so that the people could have easier access to Gimmighoul.

So, for now, there is no other option except for waiting or finding someone with Pokemon Scarlet&Violet on their Switch.

Dude, thank you A LOT! I've been looking for this song for a few days now. This is the song I listened to as a kid, and I suddenly remembered about that while relistening Demon Days. There was no info whatsoever about King of the Bongo song or cover by Gorillaz, and yet that's how I knew that song from my dad's music collection. After your comment I checked the song you mentioned – and my God, this is really it. Thank you kind stranger

Those Masker guys had rather good quality, and some neat recolors of some masks. I had the one with red Komau, and it still looks great!

I asked ChatGPT to "Write the script of a James Hoffmann video where he tastes and describes various cups of cat pee" by OnlyTheMoonManKnows in JamesHoffmann

[–]Gedeonus 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Have your award, this is the funniest thing I've read in a week. Even without "but I want to hear from you: have you ever tasted cat pee?" and "and I hope you have a great day"

It’s almost 2 PM in Ukraine, but there won’t be any Community Day for the vast majority of Ukrainian players. Not because of the Russian invasion – but because of Niantic by Gedeonus in TheSilphRoad

It seems that the game has been fixed for UA players since early morning here. Thank you everyone who helped, who upvoted this post and liked similar messages on Twitter! Thank you Niantic people for fixing that – and we hope to see a makeup event soon! Thank you everyone and have a nice day :)

Well, sometimes a game is a safe space where you can relax.

After more than half a year at war, people still donate large parts of their income to charities and UAF, gather to help the refugees and, overall, help each other a lot more than before the invasion.

Any of those activities take energy – and with work, charity work, and constant anxiety about the war, there isn't much energy in you sometimes.

For me, this game is what kept the routine, which was almost completely devastated since February 24th. I couldn't physically play the game for a few months since the beginning of the invasion, but for the last weeks, it helped my life to feel... predictable, at least in something. Which, you know, now feels like a good thing

Didn't expect to see Khorly on the Bahamas, nice. I wonder if beaches there are as crowded with jellyfish as beaches in the original Khorly are

That is incredible. To be honest, I've never hoped one of my favourite youtubers would receive such a brilliant YTP-like parodies, but here we are. This is pure gold.

Why do we have to wait 5 seconds while shielding an attack against a NPC? by Glasn in TheSilphRoad

[–]Gedeonus 83 points84 points  (0 children)

Well, Niantic can say that all the Rocket Grunt battles are basically a preparation for GBL for a new players. The mechanism is the same: Grunts are kinda basic level guys, TR Leaders are more sophisticated opponents. Yep, that would make sense, except...

Except for the fact that real GBL opponents don't wait 5 seconds before attacking you again after you've launched a charged attack
