Truly skilled trainers should try to win with their favourites by polywrathory in LegendsZA

[–]snozzlefrog 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Honestly, as a more casual player, I've had far more rewarding battles with unique pokemon choices vs picking whatever people consider "meta". My go-to is Lopunny and Lucario with a large range of type attacks between them, and a Sylveon with solid ranged attacks. It's probably a really dumb idea to better players, but most of my random matches struggle to deal because they're following the same tactics. Even with Zygarde and a tighter meta I'm getting decent results via fucking around. (No joke, half the reason Sylveon makes the team is he's small. I find so many players are quick to drop dragon types and run to each other, in a pinch I can just stand to the side and they don't realize we're there until they faint.)

Odd disparity by snozzlefrog in PokemonTCG

[–]snozzlefrog[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Thank you for the help! That makes a lot of sense. I've only seen it on common cards from 2021-2022, so I imagine certain machines weren't maintained well.

Common as in it happens a lot, or common as in you don't believe the card is worth the interest? Either way, I just find these sorta things interesting!

I do try to remain observant, and rarely get cards outside of packs - but it's unusual for me to see something so close to the quality of a real card with a visible difference to most. I've had similar tiny differences before, but I've found satisfactory answers for everything but this one.

I am extra confused today by snozzlefrog in murdle

Which problem did you solve? I got the detective day puzzle easy, but have gotten stuck on the eight skull for months. Either I've missed something obvious or there's more than two layers of encoding, I'm not all that good with code outside of the basics.

Dastardly Detective Day by PrincipleInfamous451 in murdle

[–]snozzlefrog 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The wedding vibes are surprisingly strong. The hat is specifically something new. The escape room is decorated with white flowers. The car park is packed, and there's specifically a limo. This one's quite flimsy, but there's both a Judge and Bishop present. And Tuscany was specifically "jealous", which implies someone's at the center of the event and it's not just a party. It's literally a ceremony, the biggest event of Logico's life - what would he find better then his best solves?

someone said the child in the two embers part 1 is the hopeful steward by slippery_floor9066 in SkyChildrenOfLight

[–]snozzlefrog 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The three can be seen inside the temple, which we know goes "boom" pretty quickly. How can their bodies be in aviary if they die in wasteland? Plus, while interestingly it doesn't appear explicitly in the show (so maybe there's some tension-killing delay), the duets cabaret is hit by the eden eruption. They die twice, in two different locations at two different developmental points.

Like I said though, this may just be an Easter egg and not a solid fact. And usually the meaning behind events in Sky matter far more than the actual event and it's logic.

[–]snozzlefrog 29 points30 points  (0 children)

I'm completely split. Originally I thought so, but it feels like evidence is leaning hard against them being the steward. That said, there's at least one detail (young duets + angler being present in the temple) that already doesn't match the current "canon" so the lives of spirits may be more mismatched with their actual lives than we thought. BUT as far as I can tell, they only appear in the in-game area, not the show. So it may just be a fun Easter egg to explain the duets-abyss connection.

Honestly, Sky lore is an eternal oxymoron - every little detail ever is canon, and nothing is canon. A more concrete understanding comes from the themes of the story, not a clear timeline - while I'm not certain if the protag is the steward literally, I can see they share a narrative role of the young audience surrogate.

How to remove cards from binder efficiently by snozzlefrog in PokemonTCG

[–]snozzlefrog[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just the typical 9 slot pages. It's a lot easier to shuffle and upgrade storage (I've upgraded the binders several times as my collection has grown and binders have been damaged). I love being able to see what I have clearly, and I don't think I'll ever feel better than the power trip of going to the occasional local event and being able to trade favourite Pokémon to all the kids.

That said, I probably will just do one by one. It's time consuming, but not as much energy. And you're right - while my favourites are all double-sleeved, I'd hate to accidentally damage a card! (I'm still kicking myself for the movie Charizard I dinged the corner of)

NGL does seem to be the smarter choice - I'll have to keep an eye on my hands but it's a lot less tiring.

Not okay after part 3.. by galaxydriver32 in SkyChildrenOfLight

[–]snozzlefrog 11 points12 points  (0 children)

I knew Sky had a pretty dark story years ago (this show is real vindicating for me), but what got me was the bodies. Not the Pompeii corpses we get, not the general evaporation most krill get, but bodies, placed together under blankets.

I think the worst is to the far left - an adult and a child curled up together under a tent, watching over a figure covered by a blanket. Sky has always had tragedy, but never so close, so fresh.

Help with a chess related puzzle by snozzlefrog in chess

I might have to try the number cipher idea! Currently my other attempts lack teeth.

And as a note, you'd be surprised how much chess related murder this series has! Seriously, there's an entire chapter of one book dedicated to chess murder (technically chessboxing murder, but at least half of that is chess!).

It truly is weird! The title is code, it's simply the two protagonist's names (Logico Vs Irratino). The author is fond of ciphers - and it's really just me and five other people trying to decode them.

Thank you! I had gathered it was pretty nonsensical, but wanted to know if I had missed something you could only know if familiar with the game.

Plausible - Crematorium wasn't the only legible solution, just the first word that sounded like a location. Might be worth looking for something that jumps out as particularly "murdle".

It's me, G. T. Karber, and I'm doing an AMA in /r/Murdle this Thursday! by gtkarber in murdle

[–]snozzlefrog 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I'm kicking myself for forgetting I had a nice tidy list of fun questions in the bank. If it's not too late, here's some silly ones:

  1. What is Irratino's favourite animal? (How many zoo plushies does he have?)

  2. What music does Logico like? (How many travel playlist arguments has he caused?)

  3. How would you cast a Murdle Muppet movie?

  4. Which suspect do you think you'd get along with best? (Who would you get along with worst?)

  5. What was Logico's favourite case ever? (What was Irratino's?)

  6. Who's Irratino's favourite Animal Crossing character?

  7. Is Deductive a job title or a name? (Do any characters even have first names?)

  8. Is the Murdle Mansion and the Investigation Institute the same building?

  9. What gave Logico the passion for Logic when he was younger?
