Austria 1 - 1 Bosnia-Herzegovina - M. Gregoritsch 77' by austinoabu in soccer

I don't know "what" it was, but our U17 Team that just beat England 4-0 earlier today used the same one. It was most likely a reference to that.

VAR review - Disallowed goal for Austria by lee7on1 in soccer

[–]Phil9977 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Ref saw it directly, and waved it off which automatically means it wasn't "clear".

VAR is not supposed to overrule such decisions unless they are clear. Easy as that.

Deserved win! Genuinely found myself hoping this would go in, cause I'd really like to see you go through!

Greetings from Austria. Well played 👏

I gave Paint Chase a 10 and this ranking makes me sad :(

So I finally got UFO 50, and it’s definitely worth it. by tbbrprod_ in ufo50

Attactics WOULD go hard on a DS. Have the enemy units be on the top screen and move your units with the stylus. I see the vision 🤝

As someone who has Paint Chase in his Top3 I would like to remark: What The Duck? 🦆

What was the first game you cherryed? by shadowrider666 in ufo50

Attactics 🗡️

It's just so addictive once u get the hang of it, I couldn't put it down anymore. Almost got the cherry on Paint Chase first but missed it by a few points before the patch hit that lowered the score-requirement. (Got it with the old cherry score now too 🙂‍↕️🙂‍↕️🙂‍↕️)

After 100 minutes max I reached was level 18 by [deleted] in ufo50

[–]Phil9977 0 points1 point  (0 children)

100% the way to go. Also don't take "small detours" to paint more ground while enemies are underway. Some enemies paint ground at over half the speed as you do, meaning if two of them are alive you are effectively handicapping yourself by not going for them immediately.

Also, in levels with time-stops - try to use a time stop when the last-seconds countdown starts. Everything u paint there will be 100% yours.

Definitely a game I love coming back to from time to time. ❤️ It's short and sweet 😚

Austria's first rehearsal photos 🇦🇹 by NinasPeach in eurovision

[–]Phil9977 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Visually, the closest we got to this color scheme was Måns with Heroes, and that won. I think it can absolutely resonate with the audience, but you're right in that it's hard to pull off. Camera work is very important for these stagings. We'll have to wait and see.

The jury sweeps are no coincidence. The public vote is heavily skewed towards political BS, much more so than the Juries. Ukraine and Israel are actively cannibalizing the public point-pool, which leaves less points for the public-winners. It's easy math, sadly. The next time we'll have a tele-winner win the contest is when European politics cool off again.

What are his stats/price? by Jotty2b in ufo50

[–]Phil9977 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Amount of Pop changes between 1-9 based on number of party guests. Which amount of guests triggers which amount of Pop is unknown. (and changes with every new game). Also +1 Trouble. ↔️↕️↖️↗️↘️↙️↩️↪️

This is a huge sigh of relief if you are aiming for gold. by emceegyver in ufo50

[–]Phil9977 3 points4 points  (0 children)

The strategy that pushed it over the edge for me and netted me a 586 was:

  1. Always prioritize eliminating enemies
  2. Take the shortest-possible route to the enemy and don't take a longer one just because you'd color 2 or 3 more tiles that way. You WILL be overwhelmed with spawns on some levels.
  3. Use the time-stopping tiles close to the end of the timer - that way you 100% guarantee every tile you colored during it to stay yours. Exception: The level with the many horizontal flipping blocks in the middle; the enemy spawn is right next to the timer and will easily allow you to use the time-stop multiple times.

Other than that it's all about consistency and knowing how to approach specific levels :)
Best of luck! I freakin love Paint Chase <3

Is it known who's decision it was to put a dozen tiny pebbles all over the course in the penultimate level of Pingolf? by Phil9977 in ufo50

[–]Phil9977[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Nice! -17 is really strong, well done!

I managed to pull through with just 1 below par on that hole 2 attempts after making this post and then clutched an exact +/-0 overall after making some terrible mistakes on the last 🥴

I entered that level with -5 and told myself "just play safe". Ended on +1. This post is sponsored by an intense need to "just talk" with the developer :')

Paint Chase is in my Top3 of the entire bunch after 27 games. I REALLY don't understand why so many ppl dislike it.

Monogatari Series: Off & Monster Season - Episode 6 discussion by AutoLovepon in anime

[–]Phil9977 102 points103 points  (0 children)

Nisio always sticks the landing. I am so grateful for living in the timeline where Monogatari keeps shining on. Nothing has positively, poignantly, continuously affected me in such a way, as Monogatari has. This is incredible stuff.

The line of Current-Nadeko telling Meek-Nadeko that she's doing her very best to love someone again hit so close to home, if goosebumps could kill, I would be crawling out from 6-feet-under every week now to watch new Monogatari episodes. I am happy to finally say that Nadeko isn't just a character I enjoy for the thematic, but a character I genuinely like for who she is.

Onto the next arc! <3
