TLDR: Bigger isn't always better for recipes. In terms of a strength/time ratio the most efficient dishes are -
Salads: "Bulldoze" Guacamole and Chips (5157)
Desserts/Drinks: "Scary Face" Pancakes (4467)
Curries/Stews: "Bounce" Curry Udon (4941)

I just updated the spreadsheet I made about a year ago that tries to calculate which dishes are the most efficient in terms of how long it would take to gather the required ingredients compared to total strength provided. I used RaenonX to determine how long it would take to gather 1 of each ingredient in ideal circumstances, then used that to find out how long it would take on average to gather all of the required ingredients

It's the same 3 options every time. Maybe the goal was to make it look like they are different every time by randomizing the order but all it does is make it kind of annoying to have to find the one I want every time

I haven't played enough yet to really know the details of all of them but in general they seem to be much more interesting than the old ones were. I used to often have to pick Riven just to avoid things like Darius or Swain but a lot of the new ones seem to have fun and impactful effects

I think it's really fun to try and get arena wins with as many different champions as possible, but it starts getting difficult to remember who you have wins with once you're in champ select. It would be great if there was some kind of border around the champion to mark who has a win and who doesn't. Maybe a gold border for 1st and silver for top 4.

How can users easily find out if an account or subreddit is actually run by the company itself or just by fans of the company?

Using the Cram-o-matic 3 times a day is pretty clearly worth it but the 40k dream shards for the 4th use of the day seemed pretty expensive so I did the math to see how it compares with candy boost. Turns out that the break-even point when compared with a 4x cost candy boost is around level 63. So using candy boost is more cost-effective on Pokemon below level 63 and using the candy gained from the 40k cost Cram-o-matic is more cost effective on Pokemon level 63 and above.

Obviously there are other factors like the randomized types and possibility of a cram-o-matic crit but I wanted to compare them in a simple way.

I had heard it was "Teamfight Tactics" but "T-Hex Fights T-Hex" seems to be a much better fit

I'll start by saying this isn't something that's hugely important or anything, just something to consider for the Darkrai users that are trying to min/max. You'll get different ending energy results depending on the order you do things.

For example if you are running a healer that goes off a lot you are usually going to be better off clicking darkrai before the healer. If you click the healer first you could get a situation like this

Starting team energy 130

Energy for everyone x2(+36)=150 (because of energy cap

Darkrai x2(-24)​=124 final energy

So even though you healed more than you lost from bad dreams, you still end up below where you started because of the energy cap. If

Historically getting a 3 star 4 cost is nearly an auto win, and even more so for 5 costs. Before set 16 there was counterplay by trying to buy that same champion to prevent your opponent from getting it. But in set 16 if a player is trying to get a 3 star of a 4 or 5 cost that is an unlockable, what counterplay options are available for preventing them from doing so?

When deciding what recipes to try and focus on making, I think it is important to not only think about the total strength but also the efficiency of the dish (the strength of the dish relative to the amount of time it takes to farm all the total ingredients) I made a spreadsheet a while ago to try to represent that, and I have recently updated it for the new recipes, and here are the results.

The top 3 most efficient Salads are

#1 - “Bulldoze” Guacamole and Chips (2519)
#2 - “Apple Acid” Yogurt-Dressed Salad (2112)
#3 - “Defiant” Coffee-Dressed Salad (1966)

The top 3 most efficient Drinks/Desserts are
#1 - “Scary Face” Pancakes (2197)
#2 - Clodsire Éclair (2026)

I caught an almost perfect mono herb dragonite in February 2024 and raised it to level 60 but almost 2 years later now that amber canyon is out it finally feels fully worth it. Of course the dragon berries being favored is significant but the new top tier salad helps, and the pot max ingredient expansion helps a lot as well.

Keema curry has always been one of the most time efficient recipes in the game but for awhile now it was in an awkward place because you needed some form of pot expansion buff to make it, but at that point you might as well have made defiant coffee salad instead. Now that keema curry can be made without any buffs applied it becomes an easy choice on curry weeks and dra

After struggling for weeks straight just to get into the master ranks at all on GG expert it was nice being able to get straight to master 1 by Monday night on Snowdrop for a change. It was also my first chance to use Darkrai on Snowdrop which made a world of difference

I'll start by saying that I thought the most recent episode of Game Changer was fun and I enjoyed it overall, but the ending seemed a little bit unsatisfying. I was interested to see how the players would spend their money and try to guess what pitches would get the most views. Then at the end Trapp was the only one who had any money and the last pitch seemed like it would be a good one to get him some views. But then all of a sudden they decided that the last video costs $20k and nobody will get any credit for the video?

I get that it's a "everything is made up and the points don't matter" sort of a vibe, but ignoring the investing aspect of the episode seemed to really undermine the entir
