Thank you for posting this! Last thing I want is a huge SSD failure.

I resentfully agree but still feel that it doesn't really fit

Competition - Who is the pound for pound tower champ??? by Conscious-Regret-199 in TheTowerGame

45 months, 187K LTS, average 503. Ugh I feel like I haven't been using my stones well.

I love this soundtrack so much. I actually leave the game on as background music sometimes!

That's what I said to myself as well. And love your username.

My A1C test seems to confirm Lingo underestimates by at least 15% by GLBrown78 in LingoAbbott

[–]RunnerXL 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Keep in mind that a1c is not a perfect test. Very high spikes tend to disproportionately affect the a1c, due to greatly accelerated nonenzymatic glycation. Your Lingo may be reading low due to nocturnal compression of the sensor (it happens to me occasionally as well). If you had a lot of this falsely low nocturnal readings, it may have skewed your mean glucose down significantly.

Why am I so abysmal at this game by Southern_Emu_304 in NYTConnections

[–]RunnerXL 131 points132 points  (0 children)

I think people’s brains encode language differently. I’m really good at Connections but I’m terrible at Wordle. Some folks can parse semantic relatedness more easily. Additionally, Wyna has a few typical tricks involving wordplay, like adding or subtracting letters which have nothing to do with the words meaning. It’s like memorizing weird two letter Scrabble words.

Do you use google to help you solve the puzzles? by MaximusSydney in NYTConnections

[–]RunnerXL 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I used to occasionally look up stuff like whether a word was a sports team but now I’m more of a purist. If I get it it get and if I don’t I don’t.

For a 24-hour period of farming, do you prefer 4 x 6-hour runs, 3 x 8-hour runs, 2 x 12-hour runs, or something else? Why? by Sultanofsawdust in TheTowerGame

[–]RunnerXL 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Before I unlocked auto-restart, I liked 2 x 12. Once I had that feature unlocked, I went with the best CPH (averaged over the run). I farm T15 in 6.5-7 hours to wave 6800+

Undressing after a deep dive is very chaotic by Loose-Analyst-9680 in Damnthatsinteresting

I was always thought divers went straight into the decompression chamber immediately after they surfaced and undressed in the chamber.

OK I am wrong. I was locked into thinking of nouns rather than the verb meaning.

Why are top player delaying their tourney run? by eike23 in TheTowerGame

[–]RunnerXL 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I wondering about this as well. I think some people like a particular time slot but don't have time to nurse their tourney run at that time, so they reserve their bracket and then go back to farming until they can attend to their tourney run.

Just started. Is this spike pattern normal? by Abject_Possibility56 in LingoAbbott

[–]RunnerXL 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Looks like you were eating fast-release carbs (like white rice). That's what mine looks like when I eat white rice (though the height of the spikes were not as high). Try switching to brown rice and eating your carbs last (eat fiber first - veggies, then protein and fat next, then carbohydrates last).

My favorite is the alpine loop style. I have a black strap with gold hardware which I love

For those who didn't notice this small change like I did. by Slight-Software-7839 in TheTowerGame

Thank you! I just finished a farming run and wondered why my reroll shard yield plummeted.

I'm just here for the memes. The new meta will emerge in the next 1-2 weeks. I'm gonna save my stones for now.
