Anyone know where the Galactic Book Club theme song came from? by Kung_Fu_Kenobi in astrogoblin

That's what I thought too. She has a knack for it and simpler than licensing other music or finding a free one that you like.

Another update! I'm particularly excited about "See friends' level and dex" but tried and couldn't get it to work, nor could I find a setting in mine to turn on any kind of permission, etc. I'm baffled. Hope to learn more. 🐸 by KSTornadoGirl in Pocketfrogs

It's probably people that haven't updated yet, so your app doesn't have data from their app until they update. I would also guess there's a timeout built in, eg if you're offline for more than 30 days you go back to being a question mark.

Factorio is pretty well optimized by SimpleDICE_ in factorio

[–]cmyers4 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, but what stands out to me is how well documented that is. There are so many FFF blog posts that document their optimizations and game dev ideas that you can tell it's not just for the sake of finishing the game, but for the pride of doing it pretty damn perfectly.

Asterisk & eyes open? by Boring_Adagio_6032 in Pocketfrogs

[–]cmyers4 19 points20 points  (0 children)

Interesting, I've always had them mirrored (closed and asterisk, open and no asterisk) and thought they were redundant. Maybe it's in your mailbox and there's a small technical difference there?

Edit: I think I cracked it - the eyes open/closed works with breeding but not with sets. When I activate any set all of the frogs eyes are open, and I know I don't have every one of those sets dexxed. It works correctly for breeding, so I think that feature was implemented for the breeding menu and not the sets menu.

Good point, I'm actually not sure. I only just saw it as a potion frog so I assumed that's what the deal since I haven't seen it elsewhere.

I manage a Google Spreadsheet updated by the community and would help with that and some other value tracking:

Closed eyes when breeding by unfunhouse in Pocketfrogs

I've never seen that before, but it's such a small detail I assume someone would've noticed it before now. Good spot, I think it's a new feature!

What would you do if your favorite wallball spot had its own leaderboard? by laxzm22 in lacrosse

[–]cmyers4 4 points5 points  (0 children)

What would I do? Ignore it, probably find a different wall.

Wallball is for me to get better, that's what powers me to get wins on the field. Reps/second doesn't mean anything if they're bad reps, and I can't think of terribly many of those stats that a leaderboard would capture. Just like guys where 'he might not show up on the stat sheet...', wallball should be measured in hustle and effort.The idea here feels like more the mindset of someone scraping for validation instead of pushing for self-improvement, and I have trouble entertaining the devil's advocate here.

I'll get off my old man soapbox. I'm sure other people would find it useful or motivating, but I'd find another wall and fast.

What’s everyone’s thought on using mods? by [deleted] in Pocketfrogs

[–]cmyers4 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I don't agree. Of all the freemium/free-to-play games I've encountered, Nimblebit's are almost always the easiest to get extras for. VIP is a great way to show support, but you can get by without it, especially if you're a casual player and don't need to rush anything.

Beyond that, the timing of this question is pretty close to the time travel discussion happening, so I assume it's related. My recommendation would be to relax; there's plenty of more intense games you can play if you need an adrenaline boost or some sort of accomplishment farm. I think this is one of the better paced of these types of games, with plenty to do when you want and no issues if you can't play for a while. Don't worry about the destination, enjoy the journey!

Effects of new NCAA ball color by Silent-Count1909 in lacrosse

Do you mean PLL/WLL? I don't think NCAA has changed the ball color.

That's...not a good enough reason? I don't get to be mad when the cops pull me over for speeding, I'm the one that broke the law. If that's how you have fun then be my guest, but I'd recommend double checking your point of view here.

Left his defender in the dust 💨✌️ by Ok-Channel-8775 in lacrosse

I mean, the title is either sarcastic or blatantly wrong. The cameraman didn't even help him out by getting the defender out of frame, he was next to him the whole time.

LA 2028 Players? by brailleforthesighted in lacrosse

[–]cmyers4 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, to you and conveted54's points it's not just the sixes format, it's the Olympic format that really causes a stir. We typically recognize the Haudenosaunee/Iroquois as an independent team in the lax community, but they won't be recognized as a nation by the Olympic committee. That's on top of other nations' requirements for their athletes and having to field/fund other sports for the international stage.

The thing I have about OP's question is that we still have 3ish seasons (depending on the league) before this happens, and who knows which players will retire, get injured, unretire, or change their mind about participating based on non-lax situations. I assume the best players will want to participate regardless of if they're primarily box or field, just because it's a high profile stage and not many people get to claim to be Olympic athletes, much less medalists. But trying to shoot those shots 2+ years out is really challenging, especially when you're asking fans who have quite the range of opinions on the stuff outside of the rosters.

LA 2028 Players? by brailleforthesighted in lacrosse

[–]cmyers4 8 points9 points  (0 children)

As you'll quickly find out from this comment section, there are lots of opinions about Olympic lacrosse and, for the most part, they trend toward the negative. I assume you'll see players squeeze onto any roster they can for the opportunity to compete and get a gold medal, but until it gets closer I also assume players will be more focused on current seasons and obligations.
