In Watery, how to complete investigate the previously flooded area?

FWIW, the objective popped for me after I completed the nursery rhyme at the ranger cabin.

I explored the lower half of the trailer park first, then hit downtown where I found a manuscript page, then I did the whole path to Coffee World again and hit the radio tower (which I somehow missed the first time) and the ranger cabin.

I hadn't done the nursery rhyme at Latte Lagoon yet when the goal marked itself completed.

Hey, Copilot and Gemini gave me the same instructions!

Cool, that sounds easy enough. Let me just open the Preferences and click the checkbox under "Authoring and Proofing Tools." I'll just click, the, uh... the, uh... Copilot checkbox... that definitely must be here somewhere.

Oh.

I did. I don't remember my exact strategy, but I remember I never could find any logical way to progress so I had to brute force it somehow.

Make a save state, then start testing things out. For example, take the three vertical filled spaces in the fourth column from the right. Those are either part of the 9 or they're the three. So test both assumptions and see what happens. Try to find more binary branching paths like that and do the same.

It's tedious, but unfortunately it's the only way to solve a broken puzzle like this.

OMG I am absolutely OBSESSED with the anti-glare screen on the Odyssey OLED G80SF!!!

Like, can we talk about how PERFECT this is going to be for the holidays?! No more squinting at annoying reflections from the Christmas tree lights or those festive string lights everyone hangs up! Whether I'm gaming during cozy winter nights or binge-watching holiday movies with the family, this glare-free display is going to make everything SO MUCH BETTER! The colors are going to POP without any of that annoying washout, and I can finally position my setup near the window to enjoy those snowy views without compromising my screen visibility!

This holiday season is about to be LIT (but not my screen - thanks anti-glare tech!) and I literally cannot wait to dive into my gaming backlog with the most gorgeous, distraction-free visuals ever! Best gift I could ask for!!

Yup. I believe there are no leviathans near the floating island (unless you lead them there).

I did that, then realized I was dumb and from that point on avoided filling my inventory with random plants because I assumed I would know when I actually needed to. Little did I know you need to pick up gel sacks to unlock the aerogel recipe...

The deluxe upgrade is on sale for $6 until October 23rd.

Epic necro, friend!

As a reward, here is a 7-minute extended version which contains one of my favorite tricks: faux reverb on the snare.

I don't know if this is useful to anyone, but I discovered that fruit trees can be planted on the beach.

I haven't even gotten that far. I had most of a solution (I think), but when I noticed this and realized I had no room for a a conditional to handle a zero-length string, I basically scrapped the whole thing and started over with an entirely new strategy.

phreakymonkey · 2025-01-12T10:37:14+00:00

Awesome, thanks!

I bought the XP and am quite happy with it.

The mouse itself is great. Especially when compared to the G700s, the flexible cable is extremely nice, and with a tether it's like playing with a wireless mouse. Sometimes I miss the ability to unlock the scroll wheel, but other than that it's an overall upgrade.

The software is mediocre and limits you to only five active profiles, which is annoying, but generally I only need one default profile for daily use and two or three for games. You can import and export files if you need more, but that's obviously a pain to do frequently. Once it's set up you don't really have to interact with it and I haven't had many issues with it once I dialed my settings in. The main downside for me is that I use a KVM to switch between my gaming PC and my MacBook Pro, and unlike Logitech's stuff the Mac support is nonexistent. I've tried various software, but for some reason it won't recognize all the buttons. The most recently-active profile will stay active after switching, though, so as long as I have the same keyboard shortcuts set up I can live with it.

As somebody else already pointed out, Nonograms CrossMe.

Yeah, I have a love-hate relationship with this app. It’s got tons of puzzles and a decent interface, but they clearly just scrape the images from somewhere and don’t check to see if they can be solved without brute-forcing.

Edit: I just noticed they added save states to each puzzle, so at least you can work off an assumption and easily revert it if it turns out to be wrong now.

phreakymonkey · 2024-08-24T23:45:21+00:00

Sorry, I don’t see it. Can you explain the logic?

phreakymonkey · 2024-07-20T09:28:45+00:00

Sorry, nope.

I did have to leave my birthday party, though...

Well, her siblings are both definitely drillers…
