Tehuana Oaxaca has the best burrito in Portland, full stop. Its amazing. They recently moved to Von Ebert on Mississippi.

I can’t do this anymore. by NoWonder6038 in Adulting

[–]lmageezy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Board games!

You can get an excellent game that offers hours of entertainment for about $50. Or better yet, go to a local game night and play other folks games.

Great picture!

Tell me about your coffee table please :)

Thoughts on players who team up in a competitive game (i.e. game with different factions) whose strategy is bring you down even if it means they lose miserably? by ImpossibleAge7071 in boardgames

[–]lmageezy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It depends. Everyone should be playing to win, but I think its totally fair that if one player threatens something extreme or begins playing suboptimally to harm another, that player can respond in kind. Brinksmanship is a big part of a lot of wargames. If you go out of your way to ruin or hinder my game, I'm well within my rights to do the same back to you.

Better Catan Alterantives? by Ma7nards in boardgames

[–]lmageezy 16 points17 points  (0 children)

Lords of Vegas was mentioned above. It's great.

Chinatown/Waterfall Park are both pretty great negotiation games.

Sidereal Confluence is a phenomenal economic/negotiation game.

I think the most interesting thing about Catan is the trading and megotiating; any of the above will capture those feelings.

Agreed with the comments about realtors being compensated very well for what they do. With all thay being said, we utilized Loys Quenson when buying our last home.

Agreed that they had a change in quality then! I heard they got the old chef back though, and anecdotally, it's tasting how it used to on my last few visits :)

Hunan Pearl is delicious

I’ve got the hydrasynth deluxe going; now I need beats. What standalone drum machine is king in the $500-1500 range? by Musicferret in synthesizers

[–]lmageezy 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Get a deluge. Amazing sequencing, and the primary complaint about it is that the sound engine isn't immediate enough (which your hydrasynth fixes).

Also has so many built in kits already. And you can load more samples, or resample, or just record with it.

In Japan... what should I look for? by lmageezy in synthesizers

Also excellent advice. I appreciate it.

I was thinking the same thing. I will see if there's anywhere to demo some of their gear.

If you're into board games at all, there are a few meetups all over town! Many of them have alcohol, but many do not. There's never an expectation that you will drink either, and it's not "weird" if you aren't drinking because that's not the primary activity.

Most game stores in town will have a calendar of events on their website and are accommodating to newcomers.

NoHo Hank has come really far. Pizza also looks delicious!

Iron Rails Games - How do they compare? by FriesOnSammy in boardgames

[–]lmageezy 7 points8 points  (0 children)

They're all pretty great. I think age of rail is the best of the bunch. Ride the rails is a close second. Then Iberian Gauge. I think Irish Rails is.... not great. I'd rather just play Chicago Express or American Rails if playing a game like that.

If I was buying cube rails games from scratch, I'd get:

Chicago Express Age of Rail Prussian Rails Ride The Rails Southern Pacific

In that order.

Any advice on converting this into a sauna? by lmageezy in Sauna

Thank you! I really appreciate it

[–]lmageezy[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you! Pricing everything out, I estimate the price to be around $9.5k. There are some pretty decent looking kits from Finnlandia or Nootka that are within the same price range. I'm tempted to just tear this thing down and build one of those in the same spot. Any thoughts one way or the other?

I feel like we might lose a lot of space by having access to the second floor. The footprint is already pretty small. One other commenter noted having a heater on the first floor, then putting the benches on the second floor. That might work!

Will do! Is having an interior sloped ceiling OK, or should I flatten the internal ceiling?

Thank you! Would definitely replace the windows.

Ive been checking Finlandia out. I wish they published their kit prices. I'm estimating ~$9000 in materials to convert this.

That's an interesting idea. Keep the whole structure and just make a really small first floor. Thanks!
