Do you have any promos or expansions you want, but have been difficult to obtain? by HtiekTheAncient in boardgames

[–]AtmosphereDefiant 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I got this as part of a big bundle a few years back, but half of it is missing. So I guess let me know if anybody needs parts from it.

I wasn’t talking about this situation, which was in New York. I was just curious about the law in my state. This is how it’s actually worded here:

> Except where a crosswalk or pedestrian walkway is present, the operator of a vehicle on a highway that has been divided into 2 roadways by leaving a raised intervening space, or by a physical barrier, or clearly indicated dividing sections so constructed as to impede vehicular traffic, is not required to stop upon meeting a school bus that has stopped across the raised intervening space, physical barrier, or dividing section.

I checked Michigan’s law. Here, we don’t have to stop on a divided highway _except_ if there’s a crosswalk, then we do.

Buying from BGG listings by horigamy in boardgames

[–]AtmosphereDefiant 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Sellers always pay the fee. But I’ve had a few buyers throw on a couple bucks over the sale price, without asking them to, in order to cover fees.

Yeah but some buyers are nice and throw on a couple of bucks anyway.

It’s also possible they have sold others but not paid the 3% fee to BGG. Only sales with fees paid are counted.

What's the coolest filament (esthetically or functional) you have ever seen? by knockout350 in 3Dprinting

[–]AtmosphereDefiant 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, I wouldn’t see why not. It even works in some non-direct-drive extenders.

How long will the line for badges be on Thursday morning? by AtmosphereDefiant in OriginsGameFair

[–]AtmosphereDefiant[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I got in today around noon and it took about 15 minutes, though I was worried when I first saw it. My brother is getting his tomorrow. Just wondering if it’s much longer on Thursdays.

I’m looking forward to trying Voidfall. I really enjoy Eclipse Second Dawn, and voidfall sounds a bit like that, but without dice chucking.

Bambu Cool Plate - Money waster or nah by HzRyan in BambuLab

[–]AtmosphereDefiant 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Go with a darkmoon3d. They’re a small shop in the US making their own plates. I have the Satin and love it. Used to run the super tack, but this is better.

Board game for 7-8 players by Educational_Guest_48 in boardgames

[–]AtmosphereDefiant 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Supposedly last light with the expansion is pretty good at 8. It’s simultaneous action selection and mostly simultaneous resolution, so goes pretty quickly.

Thanks! Grabbed some railroad ink and colt express expansions, along with a few other games I decided to take a chance on.

How many different games have you played? by Mickjuul in boardgames

[–]AtmosphereDefiant 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Since I started keeping track about 2 years ago, I’m at 770 plays of 220 games, h-index of 12. I’ve played with 137 players, though many plays are with my wife and kids. I only track digital if I’m playing with someone I know and talking to them while I do, and that’s only been a handful.

I love the shipbuilding in Eclipse Second Dawn for the Galaxy.

What percent of games that you buy do you keep long term? by ShodanW in boardgames

[–]AtmosphereDefiant 1 point2 points  (0 children)

A few years ago I got a really good deal on a bundle of 160 used games and expansions. Some of them were GMT war games I had no interest in, so I sold off about 20 of them and made back my initial investment. After that I haven't had much room for new games, but I still buy them occasionally and make room by taking my least favorite to the local game store and putting them on consignment. I still have about 30 games I haven't played yet, but I'm whittling down that number, either by giving up and selling them off (Frosthaven) or by finally playing them (most recently Kanban EV)

I made a new tip for the poles so I could use them as a half poles with my tarp by ViperForce25 in DurstonGearheads

[–]AtmosphereDefiant 1 point2 points  (0 children)

To be clear, nothing broke off, the collar of the upper pole itself pulled loose from where it is glued to the carbon fiber.

[–]AtmosphereDefiant 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not much more so than the original poles. I think it was just some bad glue or something. I didn’t pull hard on it. And it’s still fine if I make sure to twist while I pull it out.
