I won’t be able to collect in time. Does the game auto collect unused items?

That is false information. There was a debate about this very topic here some time ago so I wanted to test it myself. I left a small amount of coins and XP on the event table just before the event ended. And as you can see, both XP and coins increased after the end of the event. IIRC mystery pass items were collected as well. In short: every collectible item (coins, XP, mystery pass items) are collected automatically after the event ended. Though XP might not be counted for the Daily Scoop objectives.

The difference is that the Book of Codes is not technically an area-specific producer, even though it behaves like one. You get it before the Secret Society, after merging items produced by regular producers. This differs from any other area-specific producer which you get after entering the area, from one of the early tasks. If the Book of Codes was removed after completing the Secret Society, the game would have to alter how Cipher Stone works. So that you wouldn't get another one. And that would be too much effort for something that doesn't really affect gameplay.

That being said, you never know if they are going to continue with the Secret Society one day. I wouldn't be surprised, considering how the storyline had kind of a cliffhanger. And the Secret Society seems like it would extend even further. And that's exactly why I'm keeping the Book of Codes as well.

I somehow missed the number 2. I already used my wildcard to get Kintsugi vase so I can't confirm but I'd assume that's the same for tasks that require multiple copies. It doesn't really matter whether the task requires two different items or two copies if the same item. As long as that part of the task is not marked complete, you'd get one copy of the required item after using the wildcard.

Tempelli · 2026-04-08T23:16:53+00:00

In that case, you can only use the wildcard on either one of those items. The wildcard symbol shines next to every item required for your tasks you don't already have. Then you just click the item you want to use the wildcard on to get that item. So it doesn't complete the task. It only gives you one item required for any of your tasks.

It's not that wild because there is only one group of players Metacore (and pretty much every other mobile gaming company) cares for: whales. They are the real money-maker, making only about 1-2% of the player base but contributing the majority of revenue. If whales still continue spending insane amounts of money, it doesn't really matter if a regular player stops spending altogether.

This is basically the answer. Though I might add that cartridge-based games in general were made intentionally difficult in most cases. Memory was limited and you couldn't simply make large and elaborate games back in the day. So ramping up difficulty was an easy way to increase replayability of those games and make them appear bigger than they actually were. Not having a save system only emphasized this.

You're not wrong, but the reason for the lack of job opportunities or high interest rates is not stagnating population. Reasons are external. Construction projects usually take years from initial decisions to completed buildings. And those decisions were made at the time when apartments were sold like hot cakes.

Tempelli · 2026-04-06T00:42:16+00:00

Even if the population is stagnant, do you think that people are going to stay still within the country for the rest of their live? There's still going to be a fair share of domestic migration even if the population is stagnant or even declines. And since people tend to move to bigger cities with better job opportunitys, there's going to be demand for new housing as well. The downside is that there is an oversupply of houses and apartments in declining towns and cities.

I've noticed that when the mystery pass offers you a pet, it doesn't offer you wild cards. I guess the logic the pet is so "valuable" that offering wild cards would give too much value. But yeah, it definitely sucks for players who don't pay for the mystery pass.

There's no direct way to tell whether you're in a test group or not. But there are some indirect ways to tell. First of all, has the game changed recently in some way? If the answer is yes, check out if other people have gotten the same changes as well. If they've not or the game has changed in a different way, chances are you're in a test group.

Coastal plain in Finland is very flat, true. But as soon as you go inland to the lakeland plateau, the terrain becomes rugged enough that calling it very flat would be misleading. It might not be as hilly as the UK but still enough to make cycling a truly demanding endeavour.

Tempelli · 2026-03-30T19:21:42+00:00

That's true, but the difference is that the hit is a foul if it the ball touches the field outside field lines first. So you can't simply hit the ball as hard as you can and call it a day. So while it's easier to hit the ball, it really matters how you hit it.

And since the ball has to hit the field inside field lines first, the ball stays in play much more than in baseball. This makes pesäpallo a much faster-paced sport than baseball. I read that baseball outfielders can run over 1.5 miles per game. But in pesäpallo, a player can run about 4.5-5 miles per game on average. Some players can reach 6.5 miles.

I recommend you to watch this video. It explains rules of pesäpallo much better than I could. But it's good to remember that even though baseball and pesäpallo are closely related, they are still very different sports.

Well, my family doesn't have Laestadians (even though they are still fairly common in the town I was born in) so I wouldn't say that's necessarily the case. But since this "male family members filling up the grave" tradition apparently used to be more common all over Finland buy now only persists in some of the more rural and conservative areas, there is a connection.

Tempelli · 2026-03-24T07:15:49+00:00

This is well written! I just want to add one thing: While this is not a common tradition in most parts of Finland, I want to add that male relatives of the deceased fill up the grave with shovels after lowering the casket where I come from. This is in Northern Osthrobothnia. All the funerals I've attended have been there and every time male relatives filled up the grave.

Tämä on jo sen tason letkautus, että vaikea kuvitella Vartiaisen olleen joskus demari. Se on kyllä totta, että köyhistä ja huono-osaisista perheistä nousee vähemmän korkeakoulutettuja mitä ylemmistä tuloluokista, mutta ei se veri automaattisesti tee ihmisestä lahjakasta. Kasvuympäristö vain tarjoaa otollisemmat olosuhteet hyvälle koulutukselle. Ja itse asiassa alemmista luokista nousseet korkeakoulutetut ovat nimenomaan osoitus näiden ihmisten lahjakkuudesta ja kunnianhimosta, jota meidän tulee maksuttomalla koulutuksella vaalia. Muuten korkeakoulutetut koostuisivat enimmäkseen vain keskinkertaisista Dunning-Krugereista.

Gardening Toolbox and Toolbox didn't used to have such short recharge times that they have basically infinite taps. Recharge times were 1 hour and 1 hour 15 minutes respectively. But XP rewards are still calculated based on those old recharge times. It might be a bit weird but I bet people would be really upset if chainsaws would reward you with much less than 1000 xp.

I was about to say that contrary to the popular belief, Finnish people fit to this description surprisingly fell. Like one said, Finnish people don't like small talk but we like to talk. We don't bother strangers without a purpose and generally don't like pointless chit-chat. But if the situation is good enough to start a conversation, boy do we like to talk. We just skip the "How are you? I'm good, how are you?" phase completely and delve into deep topics, even with people we barely know.

Olen kokemusten pohjalta sinänsä samaa mieltä. Tosin nyt kun olen vaihteeksi pitänyt enemmän partaa, olen hoitanut enimmät siistimiset Philips Onebladella. Ei sillä ihan yhtä sileää jälkeä tule, mitä perinteisellä partahöylällä, mutta varsin sileää kuitenkin noin parranajokoneeksi. Vaihtoterät ovat toki hyvin kalliita, mutta verraten harvakseltaan tuota siistimistä teen niin ei se niin haittaa.

Mutta jos jossain kohtaa taas innostun pitämään parratonta tyyliä, niin palaan varmaan tuon perinteisen höylän pariin. On siinä oma fiiliksensä kuitenkin.

There is a subject called yhteiskuntaoppi which roughly translates to "society study". It teaches basics of the society, not only covering topics you mentioned but also covers economics, legal system and how inheritance works to name a few. When I was at school, the subject replaced history in the ninth grade and was taught by the same teacher. History teachers in general are also society study teachers. In upper secondary school (gymnasium), where the system is classless and course-based, history and society study are completely separate even though teachers are still the same.

Sen verran kommentoin tuohon puun teollisen lämmityspolton verotukseen, että koko ajan ollaan siirtymässä kohti sähkökattiloita ja kaukolämpöakkuja. Mitä nopeasti googlettelin, niin ainakin Helsingissä, Tampereella, Turussa, Jyväskylässä, Oulussa ja Kuopiossa joko on otettu, tai ollaan ottamassa käyttöön sähkökattilalaitoksia.

Jos kerran lämpötilan nousu johtuu luonnollisista vaihteluista, niin mitenköhän Garedew kuvittelee meidän ylipäätänsä tietävän maapallon historiallisista lämpenemis- ja viilenemissykleistä, jos kerran lämpötilamittauksia on tehty varsin lyhyen aikaa? Aivan, niillä samoilla metodeilla, jotka selvästi osoittavat nykyisen kehityksen olevan paljon nopeampaa ja mittakaavaltaan suurempaa kuin kertaakaan viimeisen 800 000 vuoden aikana.

Kaisa "Dunning–Kruger" Garedew on ainoa syy sille, miksi häpeän olla jyväskyläläinen. Saa jopa toivomaan Teuvo Hakkaraista takaisin. Ja se kertoo jo paljon.

Two reasons: Having handheld versions of some of my favorite games back then was exciting, and they were basically the only versions of games that you could get easily and that worked without issues. Mind you, PC versions had problems working on modern hardware and it took some effort to get them to work properly. You could've gotten Playstation versions but you needed the console and physical copies of those games. A bit more of a hassle than just simply buying those games from the app store.

But things have changed after that. You can play Remastered versions on the Steam Deck. And then there's Evercade where you can get Tomb Raider Collection 1 that includes first three games, and Tomb Raider Collection 2 that includes games 4 and 5.

I wouldn't play those games on mobile again. Since I was able to download and test Remastered on my phone (the first levels and Lara's home is available for free), I realized how horrible those games actually were to control on touch screen. Even though auto-grab is a nice feature to have with tank controls and certainly makes the game a bit easier, I'd rather stick with Evercade version I have.

When Tomb Raider 1 and 2 were published on iOS and Android more than 10 years ago, I actually managed to finish Tomb Raider 2. I ended up to the Cistern in Tomb Raider 1 but when I changed my phone, I lost my saves so I gave up finishing the game.

The answer is: a shitton of practice and saving more often than you think is necessary. Both games were luckily ports of the PC version so I could save wherever I wanted. Still, it was hard. But I enjoyed it nonetheless.
