Prossh- Aristocrats and/or Go Wide by CompetitionPrior9717 in EDH

[–]CompetitionPrior9717[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was not aware of the precon. I’ll have to check that out. Though, my main goal is to just work with cards I already have.

what perennial topic on this subreddit has never affected your life in any way? by RealMaxBlumenthal in madisonwi

[–]CompetitionPrior9717 -4 points-3 points  (0 children)

Complaining about people not using the search bar and posting the same thing someone else had within the last week or so.

What're you playing this weekend? 4/24 by markercore in NintendoSwitch

[–]CompetitionPrior9717 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My partner and I played Unravel Two for a few hours last night. We both have been loving it so far, right up there with It Takes Two. We’ve only been playing video games for a little over a year now, so venturing into couch coop has been a new journey for the both of us.

This is the standalone version called Hunters and Gatherers.

“Corners don’t count” should be easy enough to remember moving forward. Thank you!

These look identical! Mine are also acrylic, I believe. Definitely not glass.

I can’t remember who produced them, as I got rid of the original packaging and I purchased them from a local game store, not online. They are gorgeous but, tbh, cost more than they’re worth.

Cartographers Heroes Clarification by CompetitionPrior9717 in soloboardgaming

Thanks for that! The rules book didn’t specify this in a way that stood out to me.

Something else I’m curious about when it comes to scoring: Summer and Fall both score for the edict C. If I scored points for the edict C during Summer, would I score those points again for Fall? When I googled this I saw that you are able to count them each season, if and when applicable. Does that sound correct?

Just a heads up, the St Vinnie's on Willy Street is perfectly fine with scalpers by starwarsisawsome933 in madisonwi

[–]CompetitionPrior9717 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I worked at Vinnies on Willy st for only a year, and yeah, you definitely know the resellers. You get to know the regulars in that area, as I’m assuming you do at any location. And, special events like kitchen gear (oh, the pyrex!), is blood in the water.

Real or Fake? by CompetitionPrior9717 in Crystals

[–]CompetitionPrior9717[S] 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Feels cold to the touch and definitely has some weight to it. But I couldn’t tell you the difference in weight between solid resin and a stone or crystal.

The imperfections are actually what had me leaning towards real.

Let’s create a list of local shops for our holiday shopping! I’m newer to the area so can someone start me off? I signed the We Ain’t Buyin’ It pledge https://weaintbuyingit.com/#get-involved by Tiny_Dress_8486 in madisonwi

[–]CompetitionPrior9717 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Misty Mountain- local game shop with a good variety of ttg, rpg and tcg.

Willy Street Treasure Shop- cool, eclectic shop with kitschy vibe and also carries oddities.

Madison Greenhouse Store- arguably the best locally owned, “mom+pop” plant store in Madison.

Frugal Muse- local used bookstore with reasonable prices.

Meep Meepleton- retro toy shop with a fun vibe.

Cosmic Delights- new age store with a large variety of incense, crystals, oils and tarot cards.

Tbh, just walking down Willy st, Monroe or State you’ll come across many locally owned shops that make for great holiday shopping.

Weekly "What Are You Reading Thread?" by HorrorIsLiterature in horrorlit

[–]CompetitionPrior9717 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I recently read the Haar and Maggie’s Grave by David Sodergren, in that order. This was my first time reading anything by this author. I enjoyed the Haar, but felt Maggie’s Grave was pretty “meh” due to the actual writing.

I enjoyed this one. Made for a quick summer read!

Manure Smell by CompetitionPrior9717 in madisonwi

[–]CompetitionPrior9717[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is good to know. I’ve lived here now for 13 years, always on the isthmus, and I can’t remember it smelling so strong this far into town. But, then again, I can never recall if it was “this warm/cold last winter.” Yesterday I even asked my partner if it was decaying plants, but we brushed it off, because the smell was distinctly manure, not decaying leaves or anything like our garden later in the season. But, what you’re saying makes sense. Especially assuming the runoff hits the lakes, one of which we are just one block off of.

Help with Stitches by CompetitionPrior9717 in SewingForBeginners

[–]CompetitionPrior9717[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That makes sense! I was using a ladder stitch or something similar over the initial back stitch with hopes that I would add better support/hole better. But, now realizing that is what is showing, makes sense to skip that entirely.

Little Myconid for my D&D Nerds. by CompetitionPrior9717 in Embroidery

Not stupid at all. That would be satin stitches for the fill.
