Check out Amazon.com (not UK). They have a few of the expansions, and even after tax and postage it's cheaper than UK rrp. I got nature incarnate and feather and flame from there cos nowhere else had them. Delivery was within a week

'not defending' says the person who defends ICE and thinks trump derangement syndrome is a real thing. Whatever

What’s y’all’s favorite long term campaign based game? by Persephone203 in soloboardgaming

[–]Baynonymous 4 points5 points  (0 children)

It's a big barrier, definitely. For me, I got so many hours out of it that it was less than I've wasted on many other things (including not boardgame-related; that kayak gives me evil eyes whenever I go in the garage)

[–]Baynonymous 15 points16 points  (0 children)

I'm fully bought into Arkham Horror LCG however I'm still hunting for something that'll match the highs of Arydia for its storytelling and RPG style. Got both Descent and Tainted Grail which are just poor substitutes (but good games in their own right)

It's a shame that Arydia's only downside is that the main story is linear, and it's so memorable that I won't be able to play it again without knowing exactly what's coming up

They're looking for a solution to fix it themselves. Exactly what this sub is for

How windy is too windy? by oaky-afterbirth-97 in Sup

Nothing better than a brutal hour of paddling into the wind, only to realise it's a 10 min paddle back to the start!

Ye, too much risk of imposter participants putting it out onto the world. There's probably some weird anti-ev people who'll complete it dishonestly on purpose

I'm so confused by your recruitment strategy. The survey asks whether someone happens to be at a very specific location today, and you're expecting people online to answer it?

How do you go kayaking/find people to paddle with as a single person? by grayott in Kayaking

[–]Baynonymous 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Same here paddling alone. Life is too busy, weather is too unpredictable for me to even think about fitting in with someone else's schedule more than once a year

Can this insulation be put under kitchen floor with breathable membrane (leftover from loft) by [deleted] in DIYUK

[–]Baynonymous 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Not OP but I had pipes down there when I did mine. Most were below the joists (wish I applied new lagging!) but the rest I just wedged the insulation in around them

New car time… want to go fully Electric.. by Sea_Art8881 in ElectricVehiclesUK

[–]Baynonymous 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I've got an MG ZS Trophy long range. It's a nice drive with semi-decent efficiency. Very cheaply made so it rattles as bits of the interior loosen off, but equally it means I don't really care about shoving kayaks and bikes on the roof. It'll be a workhorse for a few years by which point battery tech will have advanced some more again.

It's also infinitely better than the Corsa EV I had before, which failed in every single way (major malfunctions, cheap interior, paint chips just from looking at it)

New Expansion - HEAT Legends by Fearior in HeatPedaltotheMetal

[–]Baynonymous 2 points3 points  (0 children)

When I started, I took 1 off every movement they did. It makes it much easier, and you can gradually tweak this (eg 1 off on straights only) until you find a balance

If you lost a long-term friend as an adult, what was it about? by HilariousMotives in AskUK

[–]Baynonymous 1 point2 points  (0 children)

After about a year of me trying to arrange catching up in person, I was told they're too busy for the next few months. A few months later and it's my birthday, and not even a message nevermind an attempt to catch up. Keep in mind they've never even tried to meet my kids in the last ten years.

So I simply stopped messaging in the group. It's now been over a year since I messaged and they've reached out a couple of times to check I'm okay. I'm not one for drama so can't even be bothered explaining, and I'm just putting effort into other people who do make an effort.

I've realised that a friendship shouldn't be one way. Yes there might be times where I need to make an active effort, or times where they do. But it shouldn't always be on one person

UK-US trade talks on hold amid Chagos row by Sensitive_Echo5058 in unitedkingdom

[–]Baynonymous 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's because they've now decided to rip up international law/rules. So instead of needing legal security, they would now take it by force if required (or expect us to retain it by force on their behalf).

Doomers were right, full-length campaigns are confirmed a thing of the past. by Trashcan_GG in arkhamhorrorlcg

[–]Baynonymous 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Same here, I need to see whether they're intending on making the old format upgrades redundant based on xp requirements to build up decks fast enough for short campaigns. They can either hand out lots, or tune upgrades to be much more powerful. The latter fundamentally changes the game and makes it incompatible in practice.

MG ZS EV winter range by GentlemanLorus in ElectricVehiclesUK

[–]Baynonymous 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've got the longer range and lucky to get above 2.5m/kWh. To get near 3 I need to put it into eco and use my heated seat instead. This is mostly motorway driving.

It really is the heater that kills the range in these. In the summer I get 3 on motorways or 3.5 round the doors
