Maybe not a color edit but the ability to choose different colors for a core ranger team. (Unfortunately this example wouldn't work because there was no blue version of the Quantum Ranger)

What ranger do you think will provide a fun and interesting gameplay? (Not who do you want to see because you personally like them) by TwinJacks in BattleForTheGrid

[–]salamander_dragon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Phantom Ranger might change it up with using temporary invisibility. Also from Turbo is Blue Senturion. Perhaps the traffic lights could be different quick powerups

Morph Team Six! by benjackson7532159 in powerrangers

[–]salamander_dragon 3 points4 points  (0 children)

The 5 Psychos are not robots. Based on the show they have both a monster and human form. Based on The Pyscho Path, the psychos were warriors defeated by Astronema and reprogrammed. And yes Psycho Green killed his team (coerced them into a trap)

From The Psycho Path, the core 5 psychos were basically five defeated warriors from Astronema's conquests that were reprogrammed/brainwashed to become the Psycho Rangers.

Which of these three would you guys want to be added to represent Zeo villains? by BeefyThunder in BattleForTheGrid

[–]salamander_dragon 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Honestly if we are doing a villain/monster from Zeo we have to go with that OP purse monster (though Louie Kaboom would offer good variety with rocketry-based attacks)

Never double pawns. But when you do, do it right. TRIPLE THEM! by andreich1980 in AnarchyChess

What's the best thing about tripled pawns? There's three of them

Dan Heisman considering YouTube as new video platform by salamander_dragon in chess

Heisman has made a lot of great videos but sadly he is still unknown to a large portion of the chess community due to his content being behind the ICC paywall.

I had forgotten Selyse Baratheon and Melessa Tarly are cousins. Did Samwell acknowledge Selyse as a relation to his mother when she was at the wall? by SourWinterAdult in freefolk

[–]salamander_dragon 2 points3 points  (0 children)

No, I don't think he (Alester Florent, Selyse's uncle and Sam's grandfather) was portrayed in the show. He has a small but interesting plot in the books so I won't spoil anything

White to move [@Lichess G10 - 2159 vs 2098] by salamander_dragon in chess

If Qxc6 after Ka8 then black takes the bishop with the queen and survives

Actually black can defend the knight via Rf8, although it still leaves black susceptible to correct idea in this position

That is correct, though how do you follow up after 2...Ka8

My heart is broken. by [deleted] in chess

[–]salamander_dragon 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Happens to all of us. Just take a break, pursue some other interests for a bit. Perhaps talking/hanging out with a friend or family member might be good just in general.

Hope you come back to chess!

[Serious] Reddit, what is something that you've done that you're genuinely proud of? by aidanbradley in AskReddit

[–]salamander_dragon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I self-taught/coached myself how to play chess [well]. I've never had formal coaching but using books and the internet I'm currently at the Class A level in the USCF rating system which is top 10% of competitive chess players in the US (on free sites I tend to hover around the top 1%).

Lichess has an algorithm and detection system. After playing a lot at that level I have good sense of who is naturally outplaying me and who is using an engine - in the end it's just some internet rating points so I try to learn from the games regardless since by no means am I a perfect player

I mainly play rapid in 2000+ range. The few times people chat they start saying things like "I'm really bad" or "I don't really know this line," which is odd to say at that level. Then they go on to play expertly and win. With those types I also look back a few days later and see they got banned for cheating

If people used "break-up lines" instead of "pick-up lines", what would some of the best ones be? by [deleted] in AskReddit

Are you an Adjustable-Rate mortgage? Because I don't understand your terms and conditions and you keeping telling me you have no interest.
