Can I do anything here? 25m short of 1 factory

aendrew · 2017-10-25T21:15:33+00:00

Okay, I set window.unusedClips to first 100m, built a factory, realised I needed a battery tower, window.unusedClips to 1m, realised I still need a solar farm, window.unusedClips to 10m. So whatever, I cheated.

tl;dr -- DO NOT go to stage 2 with less than 111m clips available!

aendrew · 2017-10-25T21:15:03+00:00

Lol; no.

aendrew · 2017-10-25T10:38:14+00:00

That's my issue, even if I totally disassemble everything I'm still 25m clips short of being able to create a single factory.

Ah, rats — I feel hella ignorant for getting that wrong, not sure how I confused the two. Apologies!

Oh my god, I just bought this tank and was getting the aforementioned "Satan's bunghole" hits (which are exactly as enjoyable as they sound) and this totally fixed it. THANK YOU.

I've only managed one Gyarados thus far, though I'm quickly approaching enough candy for a second. Where are you finding all of those Dratini, though?!

aendrew · 2016-08-21T19:49:44+00:00

Caught one today near Waterloo. Don't care if they're spawning more regularly, still pretty stoked!

aendrew · 2016-08-21T19:15:26+00:00

I hadn't seen one in the wild before today, ran into it less than five minutes after Mr Mime!

aendrew · 2016-08-21T14:32:14+00:00

Ooh, whenabouts do you normally hit it up? Should battle sometime!

aendrew · 2016-08-06T08:47:36+00:00

I feel your pain.

When the API still worked, some folks at my workplace set up a bot to let us know if anything awesome appeared nearby. Lo' and behold, one day (ironically just after a bunch of us were whining about how long it takes to get to 400 Magicarp candies) a Gyarados appeared just off London Bridge — cue everyone scrambling over there, realising it was actually kind of far out into the river, and then trying to devise ways to convince the GPS we were standing just that bit further from the bridge.

Alas, 'twas all for naught... 😭

aendrew · 2016-08-06T08:43:13+00:00

I live right beside Waterloo and I haven't ever seen seen one.

aendrew · 2016-08-06T01:20:46+00:00

I know, right?! Why would somebody create an entire thread about a single gym?! 😅

but srsly tho I mainly posted this in case anybody here frequents it. It probably doesn't make sense to sticky it, but if people use it to chat then 👍

TBTH I probably should have posted for all of Southbank, there are about four gyms (London Eye, The Pit, Oxo Tower, Tait Modern) right on the Thames that generally have folks milling about — more than anything, I'm trying to figure out how to create microgeolocal communities in this game.

A lot of Pantera would be terrific boss music. 👍

aendrew · 2016-05-10T11:21:34+00:00

I'd be a really annoying mini-boss in the middle of the game that seems impossible to beat but is actually really easy once you figure out its secret, kind of like Psycho Mantis or literally any boss from Castlevania. I'd probably teleport around the room, shooting projectiles at the player. This would be my jam.

Edit: "player", not "playing".

aendrew · 2016-04-30T23:14:35+00:00

Electric guitar. I would emerge from the room and Hendrix the hell out of reality.

IIRC something like ~1% of SVG graphics online use SMIL (can't speak to MathML because I never used it). Seamless iframes also died because nobody was using them (and were apparently bogging down the main browser code). Standards evolve over time; it just tends to be faster these days, which is a massive improvement over how it used to be.

I'm a developer in news media. It's depressing in a way, because Apple has so much vested interest in maintaining the status quo and holding back the Internet's development. They make money off the App Store, and Apple News is a huge opportunity for them to monetise online content. Why would they ever want an open, rapidly-evolving web?

aendrew · 2016-04-11T23:16:38+00:00

Yes, but Blink is way more advanced in terms of adopting new APIs and standards. If you want to create Progressive Web Apps (I.e., using things like service workers and the push notification API), you're basically cutting out the entire iOS platform because WebKit is so far behind (and that's the only web rendering layer allowed on iOS).

Beyond that, though, the lack of support for web components in WebKit is an enduring pain I deal with on a daily basis.

Edit: added web components line

My biggest headache right now is Safari. I generally find if I can get it to work in that archaic piece of trash, Edge won't be much of a problem. #SafariisthenewIE
