I like swords.
Splatoon is pretty cool, too.
Yeah, so I just went through Splatoon's 21 motion sens's and estimated their counterparts on the real-world sens scale. The negative sens's scale faster than the positive ones. So the difference between -5 and -4 is larger than the one between +4 and +5. I will never recover from this.

Shoutouts to @goblinintrovert.bsky.social for getting me into Minesweeper. I found every bomb except for 3 that were locked behind two coin flips, then lost to the first flip. This game sucks.

Looking at the circled 3, we can see that there are 2 tiles that, if exactly one of them had a bomb, could satisfy the 3. These two tiles are also touching the circled 1, so regardless of which of the two has the bomb, the third tile touching the circled 1 cannot have a bomb.

As for the rightmost safe, we can start by drawing out our Venn diagrams (shown in video form because otherwise it just looks like a giant mess).

That bomb we just found satisfies the circled 2 and 3, so all other spaces touching them must be safe.

From there, we can use this 3 to quickly find another bomb.

The bomb we found satisfies the circled 3, so all other tiles touching the 3 (that aren't already flagged) are safe.

If we compare the only other 2 possibilities, we'll notice that they both have a bomb on the leftmost tile, so that spot must have a bomb.

If we focus on the set of 3 tiles that must have 2 bombs somewhere among them, we can create 3 possible layouts for where those two bombs can be. Possibility 3 conflicts with the 2 above the right bomb, so we can rule that out.

I'm doing this during breaks while doing homework, so if I take 3 minutes between one set of 2 posts, but 30 between another set, that's why.

I started by circling certain tiles based on how many bombs could be within that set of tiles to create a sort of Venn Diagram. (Next post in about 30.)

I know it's about 7 hours too late, but it was fun to make.
