yeah, I'm sure there's more, it's just that challenge tags (for a "discovery" tab) literally just released on goldberries (!) and I happened to be the first to tag a map as a seeker map. of course, the "discovery" tab in question tends to be full of SJ unless you specifically rule out every SJ map
filtering by maps tagged as "MOCElike" gameplay. anglemiau is missing but otherwise it includes all of the ones I can think of?

at the time there was only one tagged as such, now there's... oh, wow, that's a lot
16 maps tagged as seeker maps in goldberries discovery tab (actually, four of them are zescent and two of them are the same Secret Ingredient Contest map, so it's only 11)

finally! ...oh, right
a 19-miss clear on Prime Time D21 in XX. this is my first time clearing a chart that's rated D21 in XX and that's not Twist of Fate D21 (a D17 with slow gimmicks), but this is only true of XX, as Prime Time D21 was rerated to D20 in Phoenix and Hello William D20 is a D21 in Prime 2.

a 14-miss clear on Hello William D20. this chart had eluded me for some time, but suddenly everything just worked?

finally
the YARG history menu, showing 3 replays of alix's chart for Frostbounce. the latest one is 336,074, and below it are a 333,704 and a 329,776. the calculated cutoff for golden stars is 334,161 (incidentally, the game's built-in autoplay doesn't use a good enough SP path to reach that)

actually if this glitchy repost is related to certain recent PRs then I should probably also mention the unique results you can get from failing in multiplayer while holding the SP button with enough SP, which is probably just a symptom of the game not force-releasing inputs when you fail

reposted by (1 repost): no reposts yet; nobody has reposted this yet, so maybe you should be the first!

...what? 1 repost but no reposts. are private accounts a thing in ATProto? I don't get it. this isn't even the first time I've seen this happen!

what I do know is that there was a PR filed 18 hours after that post named "Commit points when rebasing sustains", which sounds a lot like fixing the fact that the 4th star gets revoked for a beat when star power runs out in the Pro Keys clip

You earned a Kiwi Tea! You earned an Orange Tea! You earned a tea! (all at once, because the first 4 games I played since 16:00 today were all either actual wins or just people leaving and forfeiting, and the resultant rating of 1962 is still in the top 10 this early in the day)

roll it 1, roll it 2, and banjam A aren't exactly easy to one-hand if you play this chart with six keys on a piano controller, and using both feels kind of like cheating?

played the rest of the charts (minus Strawberry Orchard, that one's too hard) and accidentally found out that YARG currently has some major bugs in how star cutoffs are calculated in 5-lane keys also this part seems a little wrong oops

ran into this position (as white, with brown rolling the 6-4) and like, that's an edge case I haven't seen before brown played 6/0, not 6/2 5/0 (apparently "you have to use both dice if you can" comes second to "you can't unnecessarily waste pips in the bearoff"?)
a position where I'm anchored on brown's ace-point and brown has 120360 on the last six points, having just rolled a 6-4. it's possible to move using both dice and it's possible to not waste pips with either of them, but it's not possible to do both

part 3. apparently claiming on time in this situation no longer gives you a gammon like it used to
another opponent-disconnected situation: I have eight checkers off and 1-2-1-3 on the last four points, and opponent has 2 checkers off and 13 on the ace-point. it'd definitely be double and pass, but if I roll small and they roll doubles a few times then they could maybe win

part 2
another position: I only have 1 checker already off but an opponent (a Guest Bee) just rolled a 6-1 from the bar, breaking contact while down 37–109 in pipcount. saving the gammon is almost certain by my analysis (they only have 29 pips to bear in and they probably have five rolls after this) but they've already ragequit

it's a vertical clue where the top of the answer is below a divider and not next to a number, so the number has to be at the bottom instead. observe that the square below 46 isn't yellow; the answer is 8 spaces long
the answer field for 12 down, which is eight spaces long. above it is a divider and a single square (the fourth space in 3 across) that's directly below the 46 marking 46 across.
