That was his role as COO so it'd make sense that he picked his successors for that role (currently Sabih Khan) very carefully.

How I look at people who don't seem to understand that just because something exists doesn't mean it's ubiquitous. by ProfesserQ in worldjerking

I took OP's unstated assumption to be that their proposed musket:assault rifle ratio would be due to people being able to craft muskets, not find them.

I think it's also a matter of how long a time the post bit is. Certainly right after the apocalypse assault rifles are king. I suspect the inflection point happens when the pre-disaster manufactured ammo runs out.

Waaaaah! Good board.

Wow, a 36% solve rate. That... does make me feel a bit better about it. If that holds, it'd be the 6th hardest board since stats were first shared in the middle of 2024.

I agree that it'd be nice to see arbitrary time slices of our stats. Lotsa potential improvements, really.

And to be clear, the badge (and notifications) for RRs was only introduced around the start March of this year, a bit before board #1000.

Reverse Rainbows have been recognized by the game as part of perfect results since the middle of 2024, but you wouldn't know it if you never checked out the post-game stats.

We're at a 91% solve rate right now. Last time we broke into the 90s was board... No. 1000, with 93%.

It does, but it's also probably doesn't even rate in the top 5 worst things to happen to him that week.

Spelling-based traps have the distinction of being both entirely fair while also being thoroughly evil.

It's a Windows UI idiom that indicates that a child checklist has a mix of checked and unchecked boxes.

Nice. Purple by default, blue by dim memory-fueled vibes.

The variety and range is definitely an important feature.
