I'm still jealous of the extra screen image size for PC user's @Kelani. Some of the stuff doesn't show up on IOS screens. You have to guess what and where things are off the screen on some levels. I'm not so envious of a 20% reduction in my scores. How scientific is this study? Maybe bad flingers just love PC's. lol
-
Yeah, I half think they nerfed the scores to make up for the big screen + mouse advantage. I think my data is solid. I've tested the crap out of it, and found the DZ-22 impossible shot. But it's been really obvious on good ol' 27-14 . I've been playing it on ipad and let my strategy tweak auto-run on laptop 24/7.
# of runs: ipad=882, PC=11,345
2nd bird avg: ipad=37k, max=54k. PC=21k, max=33k
Final score avg: ipad=188k. PC =157k.
on ipad, I hit 200k+ about 1 in 10, and got dozens of 205-209k today.
On PC, after 11.3k runs, ONE freaking 200k score: 202,340
The sad thing is, this mirrors every level I've ever compared platforms. I told Rovio "PC users already get to pay 400% more for your games, only to get fewer features and slower updates. Is a level playing field really too much to ask?"
Yeah, like that won't be in someone's spam folder by morning. :)
The big screen has its drawbacks. I have to play everything zoomed out. If not, that constant screen motion is way more distracting than on small screen. Also makes it impossible to aim.
lol maybe PC users are bad flingers. What I *really* need to prove it all is for an admin to give me the raw numbers of how many users on each platform entered scores. If 20% of scores are PC users, but only 3% of the top 100 are PC, that proves it. I've found that ratio on a few levels by going through and counting, but I'd rather do it the easy way -
@Kelani I'm not so sure Rovio would like that info about PC inequality to get out. I wonder if you will be able to get the data out of the nest to prove it. They're not a subsidiary of Rovio, but they know who butters their bread. It was nice knowing you. lol
-
BTW @Kelani, are you pitting technology against my fat thumb and blind eye? I don't like your odds.
-
Hmm, I wonder what that dark SUV is doing sitting outside my house...and why is there a red laser dot on my foreheadfgkjhtrjgf :P
I doubt I can get the info too. They don't know me, so it'd be like some wingnut walking in your house asking to borrow your 2013 tax return to prove that Santa Claus is really the Easter Bunny.
No pitting. on ipad, if I have enough time and coffee, I can hang with ya :P. But I'm stuck with craptop most of the day. -
Speaking of nests, I just got attacked by an angry mama bird. Went out in my garage to get some ginger ale. I moved a plastic grocery bag on a shelf and there was a nest inside. Its owner flew out and pecked me right in the temple, then flew off.
I need to find something to do with it. There's 3 lil eggies inside. -
I heard Rovio was working with birds. Are you sure about taking her eggs? Your not wearing a green sweater are you?
-
Heh. Oink. I just need to find a better spot for it than in a plastic bag on top of a crock pot. :)
-
I think the pigs tried that one in the original release of Angry Birds @Kelani. It didn't work.
-
@Kelani. I'm trying to play Season's Trick or Treat. I can't get pass level one. It's a rinse and repeat. How I hate those.
-
I'm gonna put it in a bush out front then go see if she'll come back to it. If not I guess i'm losing my shelf for a few months.
*looks around to make sure @e-star is gone* Ugh, Seasons. I knew when I couldn't even 2-star the first level it was gonna be a pain. I could play blindfolded and do just as well. The physics are so weird in it. Wimpy birds and structures even the big bad wolf couldn't blow down. -
Hey everyone is late..but im trying to catch up..
@Kelani Looooveee the pics of Swipe; ) you actually got him to pose? Hee hee
And by double paws I guess i just meant extra hmm I guess Thumbs?
I haven't got to the next page yet to see if E* explained the "I bit" statement but I'm thinking maybe she meant she thought he loooked bothered by his pic being taken? Meh idk
I'm not following the challenges so I'll skip those convos
And [email protected] we do add ie or inn English Y which sounds like ie sometime to make words smaller hence Kathleen = Kathy or even Kathie ;)
Uhhm @Kelani I always thought P.C scores higher than android?
O.k moving on to next page lol;) -
Awwww @Kelani you found a nest with and what mama flew away?:( as long as you don't touch the eggs she will probably return:)
Uhmmm E* sees all soo like she said don't be knocking her baby. .the best advice is embrace her videos and you will prevail;) in the level. .;)
K sorry I know i missed a bunch. .but I've have a very loooooonnnggg day and it's past my bedtime. . But I'm not going yet. . Gonna lurk and fling..I used to say flirking BUT that just doesn't sound proper anymore after well. .I'll just say lurk and fling. .fling and lurk..whichever
Im trying to bring up some scores Pa.. not having alot of luck:( -
@Kelani No speed control, you can't change directions, no beautiful arcs. Just shoot, rinse, repeat, shoot, rinse, repeat, shoot, rinse, repeat, shoot, rinse, repeat...I feel like I'm playing seasons right now. And I'm getting the same lousy results.
-
Good luck Ma. You'll get it.
-
Thanks Pa;)
-
@Kathy don't forget KathyPie! :P Swipe pose? LOL. I took 98 photos and those 4 were the only ones that weren't his blurry butt. Once I got him stoned on catnip, he didn't much care anymore. :)
If PC beats android, I feel for them! I got same as ios scores when I tried an android emulator. All I know: The top 100 on any level is ~95 ios/android and ~5 PC. When you look at 300-400th place (~10% lower scores), there's 20-25 PC. That ain't right. :)
Happy flinging. It's past my bedtime too, but 27-14, ginger ale and Law & Order reruns always win.
@rat9 I'd have thought you'd be a big fan of the Star Wars-es. All kinds of randomness in those. AND it's technically in space :D -
Ok @Kelani you lost me in those stats with the ~ lol ?
I wish i could have got pics of my 2 kitties one one would Fetch and one would catch lol they were sisters 2 generations. But they Would never be still so i get the blurry butt pics;) -
@Kathy ~ means "around". So, it's ~my bedtime. Don't beat ~ the bush, etc..
Aw. that's some talented kitties. I've never seen one catch before, just pounce & swat. When Swipe fetched, he'd only do it with one specific yellow ball. Pink or blue? Pfffft. Go get it yourself! He'd even ignore another yellow ball I had.
I wish I knew why they don't like cameras. It's not like ipads have a flash. I think they just like mooning us. :) -
@Kelani is ~my bedtime to~long past hee..but ya piggie would reach up and catch any crumpled paper thrown at her..fuzzfuzz loooved beer caps she would actully hide them and drop them in my lap when she wanted to play..I flick em'she'd fetch them and carry them back and drop them again inn my lap.I had to take them away at night so i could slleep or she would play hockey on the kitchen floor. .noisy. .I had a cup full in my desk drawer she would climb up and try to paw the drawer open once she knew where i hid them toooo funny if I ever thought of catching it on video.. she woulda been famous; ) anyhoooo :(I miss them tterribly
-
Oh and those aren't there proper names. . Just nicknames; )
Properly Penny and Mia bella ;) -
lol, kitty hockey. That's too cute and they are so good at it, esp. with those little rabbit fur mice. Their names were really piggie and fuzzfuzz? hee. You definitely should have caught that on video. Aw. I didn't know they were gone. :/ I know how ya feel. My other one died last christmas eve and it still makes me sad. I called her Squeaky 'cos she couldn't meow right. :)
-
I've promised myself 15 more minutes of tossing boomer at a stone plank just to see his beak crjmple.. night night everyone. .
*places flashlight in Kimmie special safe. .I swear that safe is magic,) renews the fl every night. .of course not to uber kimkim shine but a little comforting glow; )
-
night night. Kathy. I'm out too. All my birds just went on strike for too many hours & not enough birdseed. :)
-
Oohhh noo @Kelani they didn't die *that i know of* I had to leave them. .it broke my heart but ohh Icouldn't take them..I know they were loved .. but loong story
Soo sorry about Squeaky aww:( -
Night @Kelani Sweet Dreams. .
-
Night Pa ♡
-
You're teaching Ma the wrong definition @Kelani. It means approximately equal. Used a lot in math. You can't say "Don't beat approximately equal the bush". Well, you can say it, but you're going to get some strange looks.
I like the name fuzzfuzz better Ma. What was the nickname of the other one?
Edit: Oh, Piggie, missed it. -
Night Ma
-
;) Pa night ♡
.... signing out...... -
I hope you make it through the night @Kelani. I think Rovio might have sent that bird to peck you on the head with a poisoned beak.
-
Good morning ermmmm maybe @rat ?? I suppose you are still cracking your brain over my little spelling error?? So sorry to hear that, never expected to be the reasons for keeping you up. Did putting 'ie' to it work?? No?? Awww so sorry gheehee
Anyhoe @kelani thank you for the info. Now you mention it English does have the whatchamacallit. All the examples make so much sense, it boggles my mind why I didn't think of those. But I can assume you did understand the explanation of Jaapie :)
To be clear, one can bash on Seasons all they want, I really don't care (and understand the reasons, the same ones why I love it. Not much thinking to do, I do that enough during the day)... Really!! I am all for freedom of choice, we don't all have to like the same. Just don't touch or seduce Rovio into changing my seasons!! I will come after you like a angry momma bird with a poisoned beak (or like a just woken up Dutchie mad woman with a lot of build up tension needing to kick something to get it out LOL) -
-
Glad to hear all went well @SweetP. Follow the doctors orders and get some rest. Good night.
-
Don't I have enough problems sleeping already @Estar. You have to add another one. Now you're just being cruel. Whaaaaaaaa!
-
@rat hahahaha oops, sorry forgot to check in during the tram ride... at work right now, so it would be illegal for me to pop in and chat during work hours :D
-
Only one letter that needs changing... and maybe I could have put "of a" too it to make it more correct... but still only one letter?! (took me a while to figure out what the *bliep* I was saying to hahahahaha, but didn't think to change up that letter)
-
Thanks @Estar. Now I can go to sleep. ha ha
-
-
Is it me or the pain meds that @SweetP is on. I thought it was Thursday, not hump day. I want some of whatever she's taking.
-
Your right @Kathy. I'm downloading the Rio update as I post.
-
-
Another Rio update? wee. of course no PC and my ipad is MIA for the day as usual.
@rat9 OK Professor. You're right. ~ = approximately equal. but at 0030 after many hours flinging, 'around' = approximately to me. :) It also means similarly, and 'it follows that', and 'I'm a renegade Spanish punctuation mark'
@Kathy whew. sorry I misunderstood you. Yay for living kitties!
@e-star I did understand the Jaapie explanation. It's a very cute name.
@SweetP Glad you're feeling better, even if it is just the soup and drugs :o) I call Patty a stumpy-legged fluffy mutt, but her previous owner told me very emphatically that she's part Maltese, part Cavalier king charles and part Bichon. I think she inherited the worst traits of each breed. :)
I just noticed something that possibly kills my 'PC scores suck' theory. HappyShake uses PC.
-
You may still be on to something @Kelani. I think @HappyShake uses a laptop and an Ipad. I'm not positive. But he likes to travel light.
-
Hi everybody.
@SweetP, I'm glad you're feeling well but I'm afraid Kelani may be right :-)
@kelani & @Rat9, I think Happyshake uses a PC exclusively (laptop). The last time he fired it up, he beat all of us to an outrageous score in Cosmic Crystals. He stopped playing out of boredom and we managed to sneak past him while he was travelling in Africa. The PC has a distinct advantage with tricky 1-bird levels: you can tweak the aiming to perfection and then repeat the shot indefinitely. I used that advantage myself to improve my score in two levels (Space 7-6 and ... Space something?). -
-
Hi, @all! Been MIA for few days, sorry. Every day something unexpected cropped up and took up more of my time. Boring stuff.
@kelani Loved the pix of Swipe, awwww gorgeous! Sadly we don't have any cats now, but you can check my album @annie-leigh for the hall of fame.
@burpie Great Wolverine pic! Brrrr scary! Plenty of clawing going on in this vid, where Simon's Cat has a touch of spring fever:

@rat (aka BigOldGuy) Being able to reach top shelves is a super power indeed. . I was never very tall anyway but have lost some height too! I'll beam a HeyYou sign up into the sky to let you know you're needed :)
@EStar Glad you're feeling better hon. Hey, I wouldn't mind trying one of those TENS thingies for my back. I'll ask doc what he thinks. Cuddles to Jaapie xoxo.
@SweetP Hope you're comfy and taking it easy.
Hey @kathy Keep missing you by nanoseconds! We looked after a wonderful black cat once whose favourite plaything was the wrappers from After Eight mints. Lovely waxed crinkly paper, he was like a football star with them! Sleep tight, you and @all xxxxx
