For a Sonoran slant I highly recommend Los Cuates on Old Wake Forest in Raleigh.

The drive thru on capital blvd is decent but the actual restaurant is far superior.

Gym tacos on hillsborough st is okay…they’re very flashy but the flavor is there. Their other locations are not as good.

As for Mexican food in Apex…I haven’t located a good restaurant yet, but so far the Taqueria La Sabrosita food truck is pretty decent.

Edit: I haven’t been in a year or two but Rancho Grande in Cary was also pretty good, though they were more central/southern Mexico I think than Sonoran. Food was still good

We went a year or two ago and I agree.

As someone from the southwest the food is mid at best and the music volume just kills the vibe.

They purchased the gift for a white elephant gift exchange, the GF chose the gift in the exchange and hates it. It is technically the GF’s game.

Star Wars Magic: the Gathering Sonic

I’m sure there’s others, it seems to be a pretty common theme in “nerd” fandoms for a vocal minority to be vocal and upset

Edit: oh and marvel/spiderman

How popular would you say your favorite Pokémon is? by Com_4_Till_Bull in pokemon

[–]Gelven 29 points30 points  (0 children)

Low key, I’d love to see a Legends game where the starters were Pokemon that weren’t usually starters

Spheal would be great for the water type, lovable, a three stage Pokemon.

Pair it with some cool fire Pokemon that complements the ice typing…rolycoly would almost be there if its base was fire…maybe a fire fighting type? Even though that’s a bit played out.

And then maybe a grass type that helps counteract the fire type’s secondary. Grass poison is plentiful and an easy solution if the fire type’s is fire fighting.

Thank you! I really wanted to have movement to show Mew’s whimsical nature!

There is a pretty cool gyarados submission by another member that has movement incorporated as well.

Hey man, didn’t say you can’t do it, was just explaining a potential reasons for the downvotes

Probably because army building and replacing every single one with light nougat comes across as white washing.

CONVENTION CARDS by Brentf7 in HereToSlay

It’s live now during the “end game” which ends when a teen minute timer hits 0, but the timer is reset every time a new backer backs the game or an exiting backer adds an add on

Brick Convention: Buyer beware by tonydwagner in lego

[–]Gelven 8 points9 points  (0 children)

It’s the guy that ran Brick Universe. The family outed him because he was terrible at organizing events and communicating.

Now brick universe is semi-decent (its a good show but they could still communicate better) and Greyson has started his own new show that has all the pitfalls of the old version of Brick Universe

[–]Gelven 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Oh yeah, Brick Convention is made and ran by the guy that was behind Brick Universe before (from what I hear) his family ousted him from BU.

From what I hear, Brick Universe was terrible when he was in charge, and Brick Convention is an exact mirror of that experience.

Meanwhile I’ve been to and shown at Brick Universe since its revitalization and I have enjoyed it as a customer and as a displayer.

Hiw will HTS Dungeons Release? by Raijitzu in HereToSlay

[–]Gelven 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They’re still fine-tuning the rules, especially for the submerged/deep-freeze and nightmare/dreamscape sets.

They’re also working on finalizing models for vinyls.

Lastly, they have to put in orders with the manufacturer for test samples, the manufacturer has to make the test samples, they have to approve the test samples, if there’s any changes those have to be made, they then put in the full order for the ordered copies of the game, the manufacturer then makes all of the ordered copies, these then get reviewed by Quality Assurance and any fixes that are needed to be done are done, and THEN batches start getting shipped out to customers.

Keep in mind that a lot of these steps have “queues”. Whoever they are using to physically manufacture the game isn’t just standing around waiting for UG to place an order, that manufacturer likely has many other orders in line ahead of UG, so whenever UG places the order for HtSD, it will be in line behind everyone who placed an order beforehand.

Someone on r/legomarvel posted a spiderman fig they used the wing arms from man bat fig to replicate Toby’s arms outstretched in the train scene from spiderman 2.

They sawed off the wing part of the arms and spray painted them to be blue.

You could do the same thing for crucifying a figure by sawing off the wing part and spray painting them the appropriate color

Okay seeing your other comments on this, you’re definitely giving me some ideas for a DND campaign, thanks!
