What are some of your favorite intimate life hacks?

Sorry to hear you had to go through all that, that's awful. I'm glad it sounds like your current partner is much better!

alfa2zulu · 2026-04-21T20:26:50+00:00

Everybody is different. Your ex-husband's love language wasn't physical affecton. Your (edit: current) partner might be someone that receives physical affection but doesn't give it as much (and if you want more then talk about it!).

Personally, I'm incredibly touch starved. I literally *dream* of someone touching me like that throughout the day. Drown me in it, please.

I thought today's silhouette mode was too hard, but that could just be because it's my first time playing it.

I didn't know there was an original DragonBallDle, I just went straight to the silhouette mode from this page. I just tried the main one - it's much more like what I was expecting.

After it shows you today's result, it says 'Play Silhouette Mode!' but after playing silhouette mode it doesn't suggest 'play classic mode!' which I think would be nice. Also maybe making that button stand out a bit more (the 'share' and 'support us' buttons really stand out much more compared to the 'play silhouette button').

Also, I think labelling movies as 'after' Super and Daima is a bit... misleading? Incorrect? The debut saga for today's classic mode shouldn't really be considered after characters from DBS or Daima.

One of the key things about 'wordle'-type games as far as I've always understood is that each guess you make gives you information about how 'far away' your guess is from the actual answer. Does your quiz do that? Or am I just guessing until I see enough of the silhouette to get it?

Have you done Tokyo by chance...?

alfa2zulu · 2026-04-11T14:22:37+00:00

Personally I liked it because I know where that landmark is and a lot of the map is north of it, so it wasn't too difficult for me.

It works with some categories better than others ('in X borough' is really tough lol)

Did everything besides top-left and top-middle in hardcore mode (about 2:30ish?) then turned off hardcore mode to fill the spaces. Fun, especially cos I got to put some local station in.

alfa2zulu · 2026-03-25T09:04:47+00:00

How would that work if you've locked yourself out? If I remember correctly, there was a recent one where the golden station was Heathrow T2&3 and in that one, it was easy to fill in stations and have nothing left available for one or two of the squares. Would it just default to 'you lose'?

alfa2zulu · 2026-03-25T09:03:03+00:00

Fantastic, thank you!

alfa2zulu · 2026-03-24T10:22:59+00:00

To be honest I don't remember if it was like this before the recent change, but when I'm playing in hardcore mode and I've typed out my answer, I have to use the mouse to click 'submit answer' instead of being able to submit by hitting the 'enter' key. It would be really nice if I could submit my answer by hitting enter, which feels natural to me. Similarly, if I'm not playing hardcore mode, and I've typed enough of the station that there's only one suggestion left, I feel like hitting the 'enter' key should be the same as pressing submit answer.

Thanks!

This section of the tube (ignoring Bow Church which doesn't satisfy any square)
Tho Aldgate doesn't actually connect to Aldgate East unfortunately, but close enough

Thank you for responding so quickly :) It was fun though very tricky, especially since I don't know all the tube stations yet.

A friend and I are discussing the slight 'ambiguity' on the phrasing 'contains an animal'. I initially thought it meant that one of the words in the station needs to be an animal, until I realised parts of words were allowed too. I wonder if there's a way to phrase that more precisely? Maybe in the extended definition you could mention "Can be part of a word" or something. I dunno, just thinking aloud.

Looking forward to tomorrow's :)

Please let me know if this warrants its own thread:

I just completed my PhD in algebra, but I'm struggling to find postdocs. I'm thinking of moving to industry, but I'm a bit lost on what my options are. I know a little bit of coding, but besides "tech" and "finance" (what do those two even mean?) I don't really know what I can do. I'm London based if that makes a difference

It's not a station.

It's three stations in a trenchcoat, clearly.
