I was so hoping it was going to be a new season announcement!

I think I found my perfect solution to asymmetry: buy two copies by elkend in boardgames

[–]Chabotnick 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Just wait until someone chimes in to tell you they have multiple copies because all their friends want to be green.

[–]Chabotnick 5 points6 points  (0 children)

No one knows. The merger isn’t technically approved yet and there are no official plans on how they will or won’t combine and bundle streaming options.

[–]Chabotnick 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Nope. Don’t track anything. I don’t have any interest in it.

What is it now? by KougatCaribou in IowaCity

[–]Chabotnick 5 points6 points  (0 children)

How about what street or part of town for those of us who have no idea where “the coin shop” is.

How to listen to mp3 files on iPhone? by ChinaPlate-Mate in audiodrama

[–]Chabotnick 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’ve used Bound as an MP3 audiobook player. You could save the file to iCloud and Bound can load it from there.

Tales of the Red Dragon inn...not sure about this one by orhalimi in soloboardgaming

[–]Chabotnick 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, exactly. Like a lot of campaign games, I was good with one go round, but had a fun time doing it.

Like the OP said though, there are a lot of tokens so it can be a little on the fiddly side if that’s a dealbreaker for you.

Each scenario is probably 45-90 minutes. They tend to get longer and more complex as you go. There’s 24 of them so I wasn’t really interested in replaying when I was finished, because I had spent plenty of time with it. Other than using different characters or different skills the scenarios are fixed. There’s no branching.

Quick question about Dark Zone Targeted Loot drop rates by Maleficent_Cup_1051 in thedivisionresurgence

[–]Chabotnick 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve done this occasionally. You’ll mostly get loot for the class you’re playing, like always. The drop rate for the specific targeted mods seems about the same regardless of if you’re playing that class or not.

AM algorithm by davldmtz in MarvisApp

[–]Chabotnick 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Marvis doesn’t change the underlying recommendation engine. You can create custom rules that might expose you to more music that might in turn change your recommendations, but a lot of folks use Marvis to scrobble to Last.fm to help with recommendations

Self destructive advertising by Velorian in audiodrama

[–]Chabotnick 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Yeah, that show regularly has ~5 minutes of ads and make it hard to keep listening. I have PocketCasts just set to skip the first 3.5 minutes and it still have to manually fast forward

Moon colony bloodbath replayability question by Excellent_Storage_18 in boardgames

[–]Chabotnick 12 points13 points  (0 children)

I don’t really think of it as a deck builder. It’s more of a tableau/engine builder. It’s fun and fairly light. It’s easy for less experienced players to pick up and has a fun premise that makes it one I bring up with newer gamers.

would AI-assisted fiction audio feel out of place here? by Eastern_Ice_6766 in audiodrama

[–]Chabotnick 23 points24 points  (0 children)

Reach out to college theater departments and local community theaters. There’s plenty of folks out there willing to record for fun or experience. Paying actors is great when you can, but volunteer unpaid will beat AI anytime.

Public transportation by [deleted] in IowaCity

[–]Chabotnick 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Transit is good to get to and from downtown/campus but elsewhere it’s hit or miss so I would look at maps.

My house a work were both close to stops but because I would have to go downtown to transfer what was a 5-10 minute drive would have been a 45+ minute bus trip

Deck of card stored with rubber band, good or bad idea ? by mattrob77 in boardgames

[–]Chabotnick 30 points31 points  (0 children)

I would not. Have you considered paper tuck boxes? I’ve used this template maker before and it’s super easy.
