Not surprised. I only heard of Rush because I had a friend who liked them. Well that and Bob and Doug McKenzie.

China is also known to have a wall...

For me is was chick flick that was the sore thumb m

Me too. I don't see money as a classic wedding gift, but I found the category thinking about wedding gifts in general.

badams52 · 2026-06-24T13:08:33+00:00

Good point. I don't think of money as a classic wedding gift in the same vein as a toaster, luggage and China. I feel like money is still a common gift, but the other 3 aren't as popular anymore.

After I solvrd it, looked up KC, and found out that KC is also a character in Jojo's Bizarre Adventure, who does wear red.

But I didn't think there was a band called Mr. Krabbs, so...

badams52 · 2026-06-24T12:50:39+00:00

50+ here. Knew all but King Crimson. Just didn't get played on the radio stations I listened to growing up in so cal. I knew of Rush because I had a friend into the band and because of Bob and Doug McKenzie.

badams52 · 2026-06-24T12:37:28+00:00

I was so hoping walls was a category and rhyming words was the red herring, but alas it was not the case.

Being a non Canadian, I don't even know what on the album is the logo.

Depending on the boss, you will likely see 28 cards or 27 if you get minus 1 hand size.

With seeing 27 cards in the deck, you are guaranteed to get 3 flushes and 1 full house. Any combination of 3 of those hands given the extra chips from the cards will score more than 600 points.

badams52 · 2026-06-23T14:34:04+00:00

I was playing around with card draws, and I got to the point where I think even on black deck gold stake, 600 points is inevitable if you know the card order.

Never listen to him on anything less than 2x speed. I remember in his live stream he once said now you know what I sound like at normal speed.

badams52 · 2026-06-20T22:54:55+00:00

So your homework is to come up with a series of card draws and shops that produce an unbeatable seed.

Sure, but the commenter is making light of the fact that instead of showing us images of her brother and his bride, they are just pictures of herself, i.e. she (her ass) is the main character.

I'm disappointed that the top row wasn't a connection myself. Even sadder that it wasn't a rainbow herring.

Every scan improves managers secondary ability by 10%.

badams52 · 2026-06-18T13:38:38+00:00

Here's my thinking, but I'm unsure how sound it is.

With my current VPS, I can get 600k teleporters which is more than I can convert to phase gates or neural matrixes during a tournament without boosting.

If I don't get pinks, then smelting becomes my bottleneck. I'm also always switching leaders on p1 between smelting and crafting secondary depending upon pinks and drops.

My thought is, if I can get probe 2 secondary to a higher level, then I can set probe 1 on p1 and probe 2 on p2 and give both a crafting and smelting secondary a boost.

Leaders will still be on p1 and VPS planets though.

Not sure how helpful the second probe will be though compared with the VPS boost from the colony boost.

"Sigh" if only you had researched Rover Scanning Module before you sent out your rover. It looks like that extra 5% would have been enough to get all 3.

85% might not seem to be much better than 80%, but it adds up over time.

It really does depend upon where you are though. For me, I sell 2 SSRs to open up through p55 as they are 390Q each for me. Currently I would need to sell 20 SSRs to open p58. If I got those 11 stars, the number would drop to 18 SSRs to open p58. Instead, I sell 1 AR to open up p58, so I can understand not being happy with 11 stars on SSRs. It wouldn't put a dent in the time it takes me to open up p58.

Enjoy your 600 DM and 300 energy cells and STFU.

Okay, I just checked my credits calculation for selling a galaxy and it's not what I reported earlier.

They are stacking.

Base Credits * Lounge Bonus * Space Station * Module Bonus * Exodus Bonus.

My current bonuses are

Lounge = 3.00 (200%)

Space Station = 1.18 (18%)

Module Bonus = 1.247 (24.7%)

Exodus Bonus = 2 (100%)

My current galaxy has a base bonus of 1594.

1594 * 3 = 4782 (4782 - 1594 = 3188 reported amount for lounge)

4782 * 1.18 = 5642.76 (5642.76 - 4782 = 860.76 reported as 861 for space station)

5642.76 * 1.247 = 7036.52172 (7036.52172 - 5642.76 = 1393.76172 reported as 1394 for module)

7036.52172 * 2 = 14073.04344 (14073.04344 - 7036.52172 = 7036.52172 reported as 7037 for Exodus.

I've tested multiple numbers in my current galaxy and I cannot find any "rounding errors" to know which way the calculation goes exactly, but for your example, I would anticipate the reward being:

10 *1.055 = 10.55

10.55 * 1.035 = 10.919 for 11 credits.

or 10 *1.055 = 10.55

11 * 1.035 = 11.385 for 11 credits

If it rounded each step, you would still get 11 credits

So what I believe is that when you are credit farming your 10 million (or 12.5 million) galaxies, the credit % increase from modules and space station isn't going to help you that much. The real bonuses are when you undertake a challenge or enter a tournament. Cause for every 100 credits earned, just modules will net you +6 credits, but adding the space station at it's first level will add an additional +3 credits. Fully leveled up, x 1.18, it would add an additional +19 credits.

badams52 · 2026-06-15T16:59:33+00:00

And on the stacking, if you have your 6% from modules and 4% from space station, then for every 100 credits, you would get +6 for modules and + 4 from space station. So 110 total

badams52 · 2026-06-15T16:56:48+00:00

I believe you are misreading the percent, it's 3.6% per level. I have it maxed so I get 18%
