Bastards are hip to DNS-based ad blocking now. Now it hangs indefinitely instead of letting you through to the game.

Was wondering why it was hanging. Oh well, guess I won’t play anymore.

Thabk god I checked some hints. How the hell is yellow the easiest? I have never heard of any of those. ::: spoiler Also what the hell why is there 4 boxing weight categories and it's not actually one. That is a filthy trick. :::

I see you fell for a similar trick. And bantam is a weight class fwiw.

Wizard_Pope@lemmy.world · 2 pts · 204d

Yes. I luckily use connections copilot and went to look at the hints after making rhe weight classes category and then being unable to make anything else that works.

Almost fell for the herring again but

:::spoiler spoiler the creams saved me. Without heavy cream there were only 3 and I was sure creams had to be a category, so I started rechecking everything :::

Once you spot a herring you can start thinking that it might be a rainbow, so each word has to be broken up.
