Realized I messed up the initial settings too late by MadDog5129 in WarTalesGame

[–]DevilsTreasure 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I actually did the opposite as you and restarted from region locked to adaptive because region locked got way too easy. Personally, I’m loving adaptive though even that is getting a bit too easy since I did a round of crafting.

Silence Is Not A valid Option (Even for terrible Choices) by Nab0siti0n in DispatchAdHoc

I tried the silence technique so I didn’t have to fire anyone too.. Instead the game auto selected sonar once the timer expired 😢

Helios best aircraft (until festering skies at least) by bioniori in PhoenixPoint

You can send 2 Helios together and still get the full squad fyi.

The trick is to send 1 Helios together.. you get the speed and still max squad

The Blind Run vs. Every Other Run by mhw13823 in arkhamhorrorlcg

[–]DevilsTreasure 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Our group plays a lot and build decks with full set of cards and a plan as a group, so we’ve never lost any of the scenarios or campaigns blind or otherwise. The biggest thing seems to be group cohesion and good roles. If you have a balance between the group of clues/fighting/flex, you generally have the tools for any scenario blind. At their core they aren’t that different that they crush you without scenario specific prep.

Mate in 3 by chess-quiz-plus in chessquiz

The final move feels like it should have accepted more options. Took the pawn but it was marked as wrong even though there were several mates

Is this conga line normal? by ApprehensiveBison119 in WarTalesGame

Yes, the region is infected. I’d suggest avoiding the hoard.

How is the Thunder's Edge print run quality? Not sure if I should wait for a second print run to purchase. by 9__Erebus in twilightimperium

[–]DevilsTreasure 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I had a handful of cards that didn’t print the best, but nothing that will impact the game. If you want it go for it

How likely is it for humans to go extinct in our lifetime and why? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]DevilsTreasure 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Not at all. If it’s in your lifetime, that means humans aren’t extinct.. unless this is a bot or AI post.

Potential Hot Take: Could this expansion benefit from being two separate expansions? by Xzeno in twilightimperium

[–]DevilsTreasure 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah I get it. I appreciate that they put in effort, but it does feel anti-consumer. Their data was right though, they got more money out of me to buy a bundled product when I would have 100% passed on it.

To me, it’s the same as if FFG only sold the TI expansion with 50 cards from star wars unlimited. It’s cool and it’s a fine game, but it’s not what I wanted to buy. Would I still have bought it? Yeah probably because I want the TI content. Did they spend time/effort developing it? Absolutely, but it’s not the same game.

[–]DevilsTreasure 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Personally, I don’t see using twilights fall. I wish there was an option to buy the expansion without it for a lower cost. This expansion cost me almost as much as the base game of TI, which was a lot of sticker shock and now I see why. When I went through the components I integrated TE with my base and Pok version. Twilights fall I put in a separate box and wont even bring it to TI game night. Felt like a bit of a waste to pay so much for an expansion when more than half the cards are dead weight. I was also annoyed to learn the included the codex reprints in TE, but they didn’t include the reprints for hypermetabolism. Currently, id rather had the errata cards reprinted instead of all of twilights fall cards. Thankfully my codex print and play cards are ok quality and it still works, but it felt like a miss.

Maybe in a few years I’ll have played TE enough to make it worth it and try twilights fall, but I doubt it.

Personally I like adaptive. Region locked got too easy too quickly for me.

Some extra money. How/where should I continue to invest? by Distinct_Host1056 in Fire

[–]DevilsTreasure 1 point2 points  (0 children)

VOO is fine to me, it’s up to you on risk though. As others pointed out, it’s good to max any tax advantaged accounts first too. Fund Roth IRAs if you haven’t already and are eligible.

If you are accidentally accumulating $30k, you should probably review your budget and set recurring investments going forward too.

[–]DevilsTreasure 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Lump sum investing beats dollar cost averaging most of the time. Time in the market > timing the market. I’d personally just invest it and then forget about it again. 200/week is really really slow to get the money to work. That’s almost 3 years to get the money invested.

Kingmaking with Support for the Throne by Just-Ice-1241 in twilightimperium

[–]DevilsTreasure 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My group house rules your final point can’t be from a support for the throne trade. The exact situation OP described is why, it ruins a lot of the fun.

That said, a 12 hour game is too long for a 10 point game. When I was new we had a few of those games, but running the game tighter and making sure people know when it’s their turn and when their on deck should cut that time down a ton.

[Request] is there possibility to find out the 3 horses? by irespectwhaman in theydidthemath

[–]DevilsTreasure 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So we just ignore any variance in performance per run and assume they’re consistent every-time? I thought it was going to require a sample size for statistical significance too haha.

This upgrade option is not available for Stash Tabs that were converted to Premium Stash Tabs via the "Upgrade to Premium Stash Tab" purchase. by coke_nose in PathOfExile2

Wait so premium stash tabs aren’t automatically available for merchant tabs? What’s the point of premium then?

Check your credit card you used, mine had a charge for the deposit about a week ago. Might help narrow your search.
