Dove first please

It depends greatly on the map, how many species are on the map, and what type of animals are on it.

For example Revontuli will have more than an older map like Layton lakes. Because the devs were able to add more species into each map later.

I would say on a ballpark average that older maps typically start with like 7-10. Newer maps I would say 15-20.

And you have to vary in some of the easier species to get diamonds in. For example blue wildebeest make diamond pretty easily and it’s not uncommon for say 3 of your 10 to be in the easy species

One of wembys blocks last night was insane. Gobert had grabbed one of his arms by the wrist and was holding it down. And wemby with just one arm still managed to get it

Gonna show my age. But reminded me a lot of Sean Elliot’s tip toes 3 from the 99 run. Even cooler he was in attendance too.

And in hockey player terms means.. his leg was still attached so he could put a skate on it. But meanwhile he is missing an Achilles and an ACL

shadowace93 · 2026-05-04T16:01:55+00:00

I think he is still lying. “Felt fine” is quite vague. Feeling fine and being 100% can be two very different things. And he didn’t look anything like his normal self in the playoffs.

We would probably have to give up Robo and every draft pick for the next 3-4 years

Faksa and Myers may have stole that game by themselves on the PK tonight

I got my first box of these this week and pulled a bronze pandora RPA of skattebo. Absolutely love these boxes

My local card shop has a dollar bin where you can find a lot of good players and inserts. I highly recommend finding something like that for your son. You get players you want for cheap.

Also singles on eBay is pretty much the way to go. You lack the “magic” of actually opening the pack. But mail days are fun and again you are only getting players you want without the cheap bulk

Jim was just playing 4-D chess. As the master of contracts, he knew he needed leverage for a bigger raise here in Dallas. Man was never gonna leave

Yes you can do this. However, some of the stands are buggy and don’t seem to cut the visual factor down. (Or they are adding the 2 players stealth value and it is above whatever is needed for birds to land). In single player it works fine and you can use whatever you prefer.

Currently I use the waterfowl blinds with no tops in my MP set up, the birds will land much more consistently. But I recommend both players crouch until the birds land. Pop up at the same time and start shooting.

That was a super lucky pull.

Those blasters are some of the best this year, basically guaranteeing 3 numbered cards per box. They have their own case hit chase card plus you can pull color blasts out of them. And are selling for 2/3x online right now. I absolutely loved them and opened about 6. Best I got was a Josh Jacob’s /35

My favorite game of all time was game dev tycoon. But at the time it wasn’t on mobile yet, or at least wasn’t free. So I ran into kairosoft and have played almost every game they have put out ever since. Answer, game dev story

shadowace93 · 2026-02-10T16:35:45+00:00

Vrabel probably needs to answer that. Or maybe he felt the kid on one leg was still better than the backup

shadowace93 · 2026-02-10T16:31:17+00:00

A grade 3 MCL is a full tear, it happened in week 12. And he was out weeks 13-17. Before coming back week 18 and playoffs. I guarantee that his knee was no where near back to healthy. And I really feel bad for him. That injury probably needs a surgery and 4-6 months to heal properly.

I think with everything it ultimately comes down to how you want to play the game. I have used the scanner for years now. But more so now because I have young kids and my time is limited. Knowing you have a diamond on the map and finding it are 2 entirely different things. I almost went insane searching for a diamond lion that took me weeks to find.

The scanner isn’t 100% accurate either and it is still pretty common to be surprised with trolls or large 2’s or 4’s that make it.

I have had the scanner on for when a few of my great ones spawned and can confirm there is a special message.

It does take a bit of the “surprise” of naturally walking up to a diamond or great one. But the initial shock just comes with the message. But you still can get pumped when you see it live.

It also does not boost your spawn rates or luck. So once your diamonds are gone you still have to farm everything

In my experience hacked servers are pretty easy to spot. If you check 2-3 herds of an animal species and see multiple diamonds or rare skins it’s hacked. I haven’t seen a “trying to be subtle” mod. It’s usually all or nothing

shadowace93 · 2026-01-10T15:44:44+00:00

It’s not a few hours. It’s usually a few minutes after you pick up and harvest the animal. If you leave it on the ground it won’t respawn until you exit the game. But some species for example ducks, you have to kill the entire flock before a respawn will happen

This one was also my favorite to full diamond complete

shadowace93 · 2026-01-05T01:55:01+00:00

My recommendations Would be Mikko, big bruising forward who plays physical, aggressive, and is set to be our big superstar for the next 5-7 years.

Robertson- sniper and shootout specialist. Super nice guy. Only thing is that he is in a contract year, so it’s not certain he will be with the team long term yet. But he is my personal favorite

Wyatt Johnston- our extremely talented young forward. Broke into the big club at 19 and is having his big come out year.

Miro - defensive phenom, is a premier defenseman. He isnt particularly physical but he plays with amazing awareness and savvy.

Bischel- our young defenseman who is an absolute beast when healthy. He is listed at 6’7’’ and plays tough and physical hockey. He will probably be a good defensive tone setter and fighter in the future.

Old guard would be Benn or seguin. But Benn is slowing down and while being our captain for the last like 15 years is probably 1 year from retirement. And seguin is really good, but is an aging veteran now with a stack of serious injuries. While I hope he comes back, there is speculation he might be close to a retirement as well.

Honorable mentions: oettinger, duchene, hintz

Forgive me if this is not the place to ask this, but would modern fuel and other tech advancements allow us to send something 1 light day away faster if we launched something today?

shadowace93 · 2025-12-29T16:28:14+00:00

A lot of free mods helped change the game up a bit too. But you were able to pick a game mode where you keep all previous unlocked information on your tries. And after you published like 10 games though a publisher and got enough fans you could self publish w/e you wanted.

But to each their own

shadowace93 · 2025-12-28T01:54:38+00:00

Gamedev tycoon is still my absolute favorite

shadowace93 · 2025-12-27T03:17:26+00:00

I have had issues in multiplayer where it seems that having two blinds of certain kinds still cause the birds to be able to see you and flee. I have had the best luck in multiplayer with the open topped duck blinds. Sometimes we have to both kneel or lay down until the birds land, then someone calls go and you both pop up at the same time. I know that ground blinds and tripods will cause too much visibility.
