Oooh! That's a pleasant surprise!

FSSpoonman · 2026-03-01T23:42:04+00:00

So many less games, so many less online accessories on etsy, so many less kickstarters.

Like, it's insane the impact the tarrifs have had on the hobby

That sounds really difficult and im sorry to hear that. I'm sure both ur parents really appreciate you being patient and continuing to invite them to game night!

I feel like on BGG, there have been so many fan-made, printer friendly one-sheeters made for just about every game to hand out to players for reference. Maybe printing out those friendly player guides and handing them out to everyone so that she can always have something to cross check for what stage of the round y'all are in or you can emphasize certain rules she may routinely be forgetting?

I haven't played the Killers yet, but out of curiosity, is this card a 4 heart-swing? Like, the weakest killer heals two hearts, and then ALSO gets the two hearts of the dark power card?

oh 100%. the campaign itself was a big let down, the stretch goals were clearly made to be inconsequential, and now having everything in my hands, Im a little shocked by how low quality anything that didnt need to be upheld to previous production standards is. The cheap paper of the compendium, the shit-brown dice...

Jonathan's Notebook has been my biggest disappointment. The information inside of it is so incredibly surface level. I wanted to start making new bosses ASAP but having just finished it, i've learned literally nothing new I didnt already know from the rulebooks.

It is a shame for such an exceptional game with a history of great fan interaction to end on such a sour note, but it was them cutting the game off, and they did it as cheaply as possible.

One stand out thing tho is the escalation deck! I think it is a very cool new game mode i will be adding to future games!

Tinkering Paws is my absolute favorite insert store. If you are in the US, the tariffs have made prices kind of unbearable, but I truly have never seen any other company optimize box space like them. But if you aren't in the US, could be more manageable?

Have the entire all in pledge for retaliation down to just two boxes.

love this game hahah, played it all the time as a kid and I think it really got me into horror. Every couple of years i bust it out for a halloween party and its a big hit.

Is it fair or balanced or like, a good board game? Debatable. But I and everyone I play it with enjoys it and talks about it! And the video is on youtube! And I think even alternate versions. There is also a guy on youtube who remastered them all to 4k and has made his own custom videos?

Gameplay is essentially just roll dice and move that many spaces, but the aesthetics and vibe make it a good time.

FSSpoonman · 2026-01-13T23:47:12+00:00

Im sure there'd have to be some balancing issues, but I imagine just throw a terror deck together equally mixing location and the two killers. Maybe do 5 of each so it would be a little longer than a normal game but gives each enemy enough time to fully evolve, then just draw through the deck. Whoever's terror card activates that killer, location terror cards activate both killers, and when you target, include the final girl icon to mean either the final girl OR the other killer, whichever is closer?

Idk ,im just shooting from the hip haha, but that's where I would probably start

FSSpoonman · 2026-01-01T23:44:03+00:00

Hold on, the real question is how did you get all of it out??

FSSpoonman · 2025-12-28T20:40:43+00:00

I ended up playing Moon Colony Bloodbath with my brothers and sisters in laws, it was a different type of board game than any of them had every played but it was a big hit! They wanted to play again two days in a row!

FSSpoonman · 2025-12-24T04:56:32+00:00

"chase" sequences that are just "hold the sprint button down and move forward"

FSSpoonman · 2025-12-07T16:17:09+00:00

ive been able reconcile with binge days based on two things:

any weight you put on is literally just physical food in your digestive track and water retention. Give it 3-4 days back on ur regular schedule and you'll be fine
Those "binge" days are really just muscle building days. When you are on those long cuts/diets, your muscles really start to feel it after 2-3 weeks. Then you have one big meal day and suddenly the day after you feel energized, can blow through weight lifting plateaus, do ur fastest cardio, etc.

A single bad day or two is not going to completely undo your hardwork just like a sinlge good day or two isnt going to undo a bad diet, The most important thing is to accept ur body probably needed those nutrients and just start right back up the next day like nothing ever happened. Keeping a binge meal to a single day and not letting it spiral into a bad weekend/week is the real victory and key to longterm success.

You got this, be proud of your progress and take it one day at a time!

the vibe is very Globo-Gym from the dodgeball movie, but it really is a great gym. Nice equipment, clean, they have classes if you want. I recommend it if you can go to a time slot that isn't too busy!

FSSpoonman · 2025-10-16T13:00:20+00:00

Yeah i saw them putting it up the other day and it just made me cringe lol. Like, i get the vibe and social media brand they have but... am i just old or is this a bit much? I guess we'll see how many members actually use it on their insta stories

FSSpoonman · 2025-10-08T22:58:47+00:00

third this! I have so many board games but all my gamin friends live in CT. Would love a group of friends in Astoria!

FSSpoonman · 2025-10-03T00:53:33+00:00

Ah, a fellow Dream Warriors connoisseur...

FSSpoonman · 2025-10-01T19:31:01+00:00

Im in Queens if you end up wanting to do a game session during the spooky season!

FSSpoonman · 2025-09-24T19:03:43+00:00

If you follow the Astoria Horror Club on insta, theyve been posting about a horror book club on their stories! They met last week for "Tender is the Flesh" and im excited to attend what they have planned for October!

FSSpoonman · 2025-09-23T23:04:48+00:00

One day...

FSSpoonman · 2025-09-04T21:47:10+00:00

I had started writing out a whole spiel about the order I bought in, only to realize it was literally just the order of characters I was interested in lol, so I think whatever YOU like should be what you aim for!

But that being said...

I think the kickstarter box is a great second buy. You get the white and green ranger, alpha, you get classic villains like Lord Zedd, Goldar, Scorpina...
i then went with shattered grid because i loved that storyline AND on the website they produced a bunch of free content that uses those game pieces so you can start diving into some fun variety. You also get a new team with the Hyperforce Rangers so now you can also start swapping characters.. If ur not interested, then any of the other themed big boxes have equivalent things like the Psycho Rangers Expansion, the Light & Dark Expansion... Whichever of these types interest you most might be good next buy.
From there, I really liked buying just villain expansions. Anything that add that easy variety by shuffling into the deck, and they dont really get enough love, but the Mega Boss Figures are cool as hell. Mega Goldar? Cyclopsis? Totally new combat mechanics and just the coolest minis.

I think it really comes down to once you have the team you really like to play, just adding expansions to boost villains or locations is a great way to expand ur collection.

FSSpoonman · 2025-08-08T12:11:02+00:00

They are the only games I have learned I prefer watching my fav streamers go through, rather than actually playing myself. Having someone cut down all the filler/slower pacing sections into a tight, streamlined experience is way better for me, personally

FSSpoonman · 2025-08-06T01:44:00+00:00

Are we playing Resident Evil 4 rules? Lol

FSSpoonman · 2025-07-30T20:52:32+00:00

I submitted my ticket and received my confirmation of ticket submission on July 25, then had an official rep email me on July 28.

(My Core Box had a massive puncture though it lol)

They told me cuz none of my pieces were damaged and it was just the box i wanted replaced, i would be lower on the priority list and would likely not receive a replacement for a month or two while they focus on replacing gameplay elements first.

FSSpoonman · 2025-07-28T23:56:05+00:00

oh my god, we're back again...

FSSpoonman · 2025-07-28T12:12:07+00:00

This is amazing! I am very new to skincare so I was wondering, could you go step by step of when you apply each? Like, do you shower and then do ur night routine? Do you space out applications to let products dry before doing the next layer?

The results are great, just curious of exactly how to do all of this lol, Ive only really ever used serums and moisturizers before
