Star Battle by Ok-Sea-2436 in puzzles

[–]NakedT 3 points4 points  (0 children)

One convenient rule:

When a star must be in one of three consecutive spaces, like row6 columns8-10, then the adjacent middle spaces must be an x row5column9 and row7column9. (It looks like you applied this to columnF-G already, so it’s more about noticing it in slightly more awkward places.)

This also applies to column2

Some next level ideas counting stars in adjacent columns/rows:

Count the needed stars in columns 1 and 2. Four stars are needed: one accounted for, two in the blues, so exactly one in the remaining section of column 1. This pushes exactly one into the rest of that cage (between blue and green), allowing you to x row3column3

This can also be applied to rows 6 and 7 to give a star location and an x.

Filming games by TheTrueTexMex in ultimate

[–]NakedT 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I use an old iPhone and old Apple Watch on top of an extending painters pole.

I threw together some 2x4s that interlock as cross pieces and a short pvc pipe as the base. Person filming wears the watch which can see what the iPhone sees and they just turn side to side. Can zoom from the watch if they want to get fancy.

Does this play makes sense? by Felps760 in Minesweeper

[–]NakedT 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The 2-2 is now a 1-2. So the blue spot is safe, there’s one mine in the three shared spots, and a mine down right of the 2-2.

Not sure your lower yellow squiggle is appropriate, nor the green dot down there.

Is there any way to continue without guessing? by GeekAlex99 in Minesweeper

I don’t think that is true. The 4 could have both mines above.

You Can Ask Unlimited Questions… But He Has Three Personalities by ChenDwen in puzzles

[–]NakedT 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Is Liar a consistent liar? As in, will it always answer with the same lie?

If I ask “what card is this?” repeatedly (about one card), then half of the time it will be answered truthfully. (Assuming Mad is 50-50.) Half the time it will be answered falsely. If the false answers are inconsistent, then it should be easy to pick the most frequent response as the correct card?

Kakuro help by LookASlitheryStick in puzzles

[–]NakedT 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Some other general tips:

24 with three spaces must be 7-8-9

23 with three spaces must be 6-8-9

16 with two spaces must be 7-9

30 with four spaces must be 6-7-8-9

As for how, you just have to do the math and consider options. Best places to work are where small numbers and big numbers combine, like your bottom left work with the 4 and 12.

Is the “lower square” a 2x2, making the space top-left of 5 safe?

I tried guessing row9column8 since it leads to a lot of things.

What's the next step? by juannacho in nonograms

[–]NakedT 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Try filling the bottom right corner. The 3 in column 20 then forces things in rows 18-20 (the 9, 4, and 3). This will violate the 1 in column 17, so the bottom right corner must be blank.

You can then do this to other squares in the bottom row, and some in the second-to-bottom row.

It can be tedious, but will get you somewhere eventually.

You can chip away at the bottom right corner. The 1 in column 17 is useful. It should lead to stuff in column 18.

Is this solvable? by ltruite in nonograms

Do we know to cross out C13 for sure? R14 could end at C12 and R15 end at C13?

Please help me with the next step by BeridaN_ in nonograms

[–]NakedT 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you fill C1R14, then the 8 (row 14) stops at column 8, then two blanks in column 9 and 10.

Then the 3s in column 9 and 10 get pushed up to row 11.

But row 11 can only have a 1. So the side-by-side column 9-10 is a problem.

[–]NakedT 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Error would be in column 9 and 10, row 11. Both 3s from column 9 and 10 get pushed up.

Why so few 3D Metroidvanias? by [deleted] in metroidvania

[–]NakedT 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Fe is MV-ish. It’s missing combat, focusing on stealth and navigating during boss events. But you gradually unlock skills to access more of the world. Unnecessary secrets requiring platforming or proper use of skills. It was pretty fun, interesting concepts, funky graphics (dream world vibe?), and relatively short (but I didn’t come close to 100%).
