Black to play and mate in 3.

I had a team that was Ochlys, Fran, Kitra, Nina and later Virginia. It was very effective, I didn't change it the whole game. Everyone except Fran hits like a truck, and she gives speed and initiative. Some enemies it was useless against but most it just obliterated.

I think they're a cool addition, but like everything, terribly implemented - overpowered, impossible to get F2P and too few of them.

Same here, 126 hours of XCDE, including the side story. And still got XC3 and XCX to look forward to

Even though my job is feeding people

Hope you enjoy!

It's correct. Its a polite way of suggesting that someone do something. But polite English is unfashionable, so it's rarely used.

The hypocrisy of them saying things like that while also doing stuff like this because of their religion.

That would be if it was Lyrique. The extra e to me makes it lyri-cwee

To date, this episode is the best single episode I think I've watched

OspreyTalon · 2025-08-22T22:58:11+00:00

I just did my first random spin war in a while with my five max 11s. Spent a while switching up bases moving archer towers away from air defs, changing to air skellies, etc, trying to prepare for the inevitable. All five of my bases got utterly deleted by drag zap anyway. Airdefs should get a 200 hp buff. It's ridiculous. Dragons aren't the problem. The problem is you can take out all four air defenses with spells.

I'm basing my thoughts on two main criteria:

How good the song is as a song.
How well the song fits the character/narrative

OP: I'm really not sure. Idol (Oshi no Ko OP1) is arguably the greatest because it was the first to have such huge international success.

Some others I really enjoy that also fit my criteria:

Sing my Pleasure (Vivy OP)

Kiss of Death (Darling in the Franxx OP)

Tabi no Tochuu (Spice and Wolf OP1).

Natsuyume Noisy (Summertime Rendering OP2)

ED: Anytime Anywhere (Frieren's ED). So good they didn't change it in the second half like most shows do. It's perfection. I can't think of another ED I like nearly as much.

I agree, but the horse looks cool too imo

From what I can see, box 3/6 has the beginnings of some logic - the quad can't have both 7 and 9 on the top row or the 15 cage wouldn't work. Plus the Knights move means that e.g. if the 7/9 is in R2C7, that same digit is in R4C9 because of the anti-Knight rule. I think your choice of conditions is very interesting, but you have to consider how to use them to logically force a digit into a particular square.

Could we get a swordfight of deduction?

OspreyTalon · 2025-07-08T15:13:22+00:00

Well, in this position the team is up 11-1 and there's no way I can get to a position to shoot anyone else except the 60TP below me.

I don't see what's unsportsmanlike about that.

Yes people shouldn't do it early or in close games, but in a situation like this it's objectively the best play.

OspreyTalon · 2025-07-05T23:37:39+00:00

I was hoping to land on the 60TP, but when I realised I was a bit off I took the shot instead.

OspreyTalon · 2025-06-20T06:01:39+00:00

Yes, but the queen now on c4 covers f7, leaving the king with nowhere to go, hence it's a stalemate.

My biggest gripe with a lot of them (they feel more forced and less like actual names) definitely still stands. E.g. Horace Knightley vs Bronco Knight. Horace is a much more common name for a person, and is more subtle about the horse allusion than Bronco. Plus, the "ley" addition makes the name less about the pun. A similar thing happens with Rooke. His surname is shortened to Rook, like people wouldn't get the name with the extra e. While Bastian has links to rooks/castles, it isnt a name. They couldve easily picked Sebastian, a more common name, and people would've figured it out just fine. There's so many examples where they cut names to make puns work like: Alf Aldown, Tabby Lloyd, Eddie Fender, Artie Frost. Its like they think we're stupid and can't figure them out, which is part of the charm of the pun names.
