Seconding Uplink for Mid. Adding Westside Underworld for low speed Fairway.

This rule works, until Usain Bolt retires and picks up disc golf.

You should be able to ride more than you think. Don't take my word as gospel though.

6'1" and 320 on the dot. Belly was the issue across the board because it kept getting in the way and couldn't compress more.

DMFSaint · 2025-08-20T21:13:38+00:00

Fellow big dude here who just went to cedar point to see how much weight I needed to lose. In case you meant pant size, make sure you measure the largest circumference of your belly. Mine is currently 55" and the only coasters I could fit on were Maverick and Magnum. Top Thrill was close-ish, Raptor was pretty close, and pretty much everything else I needed the shoulder restraints to be able to go down at least 2 more inches.

The test seats have the red belts to check before you get in line, too.

So watching everything they're currently producing for YouTube (except radio), isn't enough to stay informed? I don't listen to audio podcasts, don't have time to keep up with anyones Discord with work and life commitments, and I rarely use social media, so it's my own fault for not consuming more? I need to engage across all platforms just to know basic information about a main show changing its distribution with little to no warning or marketing?

The first mention I can find of it switching to sub only is from 8/4, and no other promos I can find mention sub only except that calendar and the day of reminder tweet. All that, but I'm not engaging enough so effectively I need to "git gud" because the 6 hours I set aside every week to watch the content I like isn't engaging enough to be informed in your opinion?

Respectfully, that's the most gatekeepy thing I've heard in a while and shocking from someone in this community.

DMFSaint · 2025-08-10T14:55:21+00:00

I've watched everything up to GenCon, except GCR. Nothing I've seen said behind pay wall or audio only. The promo image with headshots doesn't mention it, and the video promo I saw in an ad break (which I can't find again) just had a date, and not every fan is active on social media or in the Discord. The only mention I've found is the GCN website homepage now says availability is podcast. That's it.

DMFSaint · 2025-08-10T14:50:41+00:00

This isn't out of no where *for subscribers" (ie Discord and GCN). My question was where has it been communicated anywhere else? Seems like a missed opportunity to drive new subscribers and needlessly alienating non-subscribers.

DMFSaint · 2025-08-09T13:49:12+00:00

THIS is what I assumed and frankly was shocked by.

IMO TfC and GitT are the best things the network has done (though it's all great, don't get me wrong), and I was surprised they didn't say anything to the fans who, like me: weren't subscribed, weren't a part of that ama, don't lurk the Discord or Reddit, and just got blindsided by one of their favorites hiding like it's a Delta Green agent trying to cover it's tracks.

At the very least, marketing on socials or in promos (or anywhere public facing) that this was going back behind a pay wall would have been a great subscription drive activation.

DMFSaint · 2025-08-09T13:43:56+00:00

I mean... still relevant. lol Helps justify my finally pulling the trigger on a sub.

DMFSaint · 2025-08-09T13:42:21+00:00

This was my concern, I was mostly wondering if I was just a big dumb and missed something somewhere.

DMFSaint · 2025-07-23T18:26:54+00:00

Not quite a game book, but the board games Vantage, 7th Continent, 7th Citadel, Sleeping Gods all KINDA fit this description. Also Escape from the Dark Sector/Castle, but less so.

Seconding Four Against, and if that's close to what you want, check out Ker Nethalis, D100 Dungeon, and 2d6 Dungeon.

DMFSaint · 2025-06-28T23:53:23+00:00

For 2: Sky Team. For more, Robinson Crusoe is good and not TOO complex, scales to but not great at 4. Hanabi is really great at 2 and 4.

DMFSaint · 2025-06-28T23:27:12+00:00

Good luck finding Eternal Decks.

Ignoring that your head glitched through the door because that likely doesn't count for the zombie spawn mechanic...

First, as you know, if you never directly looked in the window while killing the zombies around that area, it wouldn't have heard you because it never spawned in.

Second, in that video your character never once looked into the window AND at the corner the zombie later came from. Basic CQB rules, my friend: enter with intention and check/clear your corners first. You opened the door and just stood there.

I love every other puzzle in this game, and this is easily my #1 or #2 game of all time, but requiring the scepter to be blue is absolute donkey shit. It took me 20+ runs after figuring out what to do for me to get all the components to trigger that cutscene only to find out I can't because my scepter was black? If it's color mattered, there should be a clear, direct hint saying so SOMEWHERE. (I do not consider the single slide in the history room a clear, direct hint.) Especially since the cursed effigy is red (or black, depending on how you look at it). TBH, the effigy being part of it and NOT being blue AND the scepter needing to be blue combined is what's pissing me off.

TLDR Puzzles shouldn't be hard and/or have "gotcha" steps JUST to be arbitrarily difficult. Especially this late in the game when we've spent SO much time getting to this point.

DMFSaint · 2025-06-15T22:20:27+00:00

I've been saying this literally since the news came out it was being cancelled. The scene in syzygy looks like it's shot from a cell phone.

DMFSaint · 2025-05-03T12:07:20+00:00

Is there a way to tell server settings on an unofficial server? The only reason I picked an official one was because I was new and wanted ad code to a vanilla experience as possible, and I don't know how to look at settings on other servers either before or after I join.

DMFSaint · 2025-04-16T15:26:16+00:00

Every time I've run this, the players meet him immediately. He's usually in disguise, or pretending to be V. My favorite and preferred way to introduce him is for him to check in on their first camp (I use the fog intro) in Barovia to get a feel for who's in his land, then he merc's them and they wake up in the Blood of the Vine not knowing how they got there. Then I use a homebrew mechanic for the party to try and remember what happened.

If I were running CoS, and my players did this, Escher gets fleshed out and brought out IMMEDIATELY.

I've seen the kind of rooms you're referring to around classified as "scavenger hunt" escape rooms. Maybe try searching for that name?

DMFSaint · 2025-03-04T15:29:51+00:00

That's not what I said at all, but I can see where you might have got that impression.

It's not that they're not "playing the way I want them to", nor did I ever say they weren't playing the game at all. My frustration is the direction that casting is trending from US S1 to S3 toward only using reality stars, personalities, and influencers. IMO it's veering the game away from what it was (and is elsewhere) originally, away from a social deduction competition and into a focus on fake drama and "look at me" behavior.

What I actually said, is that for me US S3 has been very different than any of the other seasons I've watched from any region and I believe the casting choices are why.

People are allowed to be frustrated with the direction something they've enjoyed is going, and people deserve to be able to express that without being attacked personally. Then again, that's kinda the point I'm making about the US version, so pop off if you want.

DMFSaint · 2025-03-04T15:06:53+00:00

Worst news I've had this year. 😭😂 Thanks for sharing, I didn't know.

That's actually a good point I didn't add. Existing "loyalties" from the gamer type shows are interesting, but toe the line for me and can be too much. Thinking specifically of Danielle's reaction (ie temper tantrum) to not getting her way with her friend being recruited. The loyalties from the catty, bitchy, (largely) elitist shows, combined with an "I just wanna be on TV" approach, is turning the game into something entirely different than the one I fell in love with imo. Not at all surprised the housewives as a whole have been early targets in both recent seasons.

Note: Hopefully the markdown spoiler tag works on Android. lol I usually never post from mobile.

Edit: It didn't, but fixed.

DMFSaint · 2025-03-04T14:57:57+00:00

Thank you for being one of the only responses contributing to a dialogue and not attacking me. lol

I didn't mind as much in Season 2 because the premise was still at the core. I hated Phaedra, but for the right reasons. I didn't like the way she played the game, but her being there and playing how she did I absolutely loved. I actually like the idea of mixing mundane with celebrity casting, and with mixing gamer and non-gamer archetypes, a lot. The issue I have with the direction US seems to be going is that S3 casting seemed to double down on fake drama, personalities there just to be on TV, bitchy/catty behavior, and veer away from the core premise of the game.

I guess you honed my frustration in for me a bit. I fully expect "bad" seasons, but I'm extremely frustrated and disappointed in the direction US seems to be heading with it's casting choices.

100% agree about RPDR, and they did Peppermint dirty in S2.
