  • I saw the movies when I was a child. I remember pod racing, cool red guy with horns and lightsabers. Shit was cool, I liked it.

    Now I haven’t seen the movies since then and I can’t bring myself to. Tried to watch the new Disney ones and they were just boring as fuck.


    I would agree with your theory about different expectations.

    I recently watched Game of Thrones and I was confused about all the hate I’ve remember when the show aired.
    I wathced the show for the first time and didn’t have all the same expectations as someone who was hyped for it when it aired. And I just liked it, yes the end felt rushed, but it’s nothing to riot about. It wasn’t bad and I was in the similar boat with this show as with Star Wars.

    So I had the right idea with blue, green and yellow. Didn’t go for dictionary today.

    • 🟨 discord really threw a stick in my wheel here;
    • 🟩 I had the exact group, but tried to guess the yellow;
    • 🟪 oh just fuck off with that…

    Saw green and yellow pretty easy, figured out what blue group is supposed to be. With the last two guesses I had the correct idea for purple.

    • 🟦 You English speakers with your nonsensical names for neck lines. I only knew of crew with relation to clothing from awesome socks club. Scoop kind of made sense, halter was in a dictionary. What the fuck is crew and boat suppose to refer? With scoop I can at least infer a rounded shape.
    • 🟪 Fucking snow pea, the one that I immediately rejected as a candidate.

    This was extremely close, I figured all of the groups, but had one to two words that were unknown in those groups.

    • 🟨 That kind of category is blue in my books;
    • 🟩 English eludes me;
    • 🟦 Damn you, English;
    • 🟪 Get fucked with that one.

    • 🟨 I was going more in a container direction;
    • 🟩 Sham and throw? really? The thought did occur to me, but I saw just two;
    • 🟦 Saw this one, but lift was not in the dictionary;
    • 🟪 No comment.

  • Nothing connected today

    • 🟨 figured out the group with panama, fedora and derby (that on I looked up in the dictionary), unfortunately porkpie was “the fuck is that” word for this group
    • 🟩 ain’t no way I’d have connected that, bath and brushing, maybe, it’s hygiene, but the other two are out there
    • 🟦 WHAT THE FUCK!?
    • 🟪 Funnily, I’ve seen this first, but grand bahama still eludes me

  • I know I’m late, but I’d thought, I’d share some of the visualizations I wanted to see. The code is woefully inefficient running on a 2D array with some greedy heuristics

    Here’s my shapes with symmetries:

    Here’s some of the solutions:





    The visuals are terminal based, for simple cells I used two spaces with colored background and for solutions I also used braille symbols to better delineate distinctions between cells.
