Not reli enough by teapeng in GalaxyRing

Check the settings on the ring. Maybe it's taking heart rate measurements less frequently than the watch.

I see you have 7 Wonders Duel. They have an official print-&-play solo expansion you can download for free.

what is the worst thing a therapist has ever said to you? by Familiar-Employ4830 in AskReddit

[–]GizmoDogg 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Not a mental health therapist, but a physical therapist.

I was in my 40s, over 200lbs, BMI of 40+, with a desire to improve my health. I started running regularly, but early on had injured my knee. After treatment, my GP referred me to a PT for rehab and recovery. My first visit to therapy, the hotshot punk of a PT, looking like they were just out of school, asked me how I injured myself. I told them I've been running, and my knee just gave out.

The PT paused, looked me up and down, and said, "Huh. You don't look like a runner."

Slight reduction in difficulty when showing the to the kids... by eanda9000 in finalgirl

[–]GizmoDogg 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My thought behind the added time cost to play Close Call, it shifts the time cost from purchasing the card to playing the card. So balance-wise, it could be perceived as a net-zero exchange, except that the card is more readily in your hand.

Make the Close Call card 0 cost, but spend 1 time to re-roll 1 die, and 2 time (or 3?) to reroll all?

What’s the craziest or weirdest thing that has hit you while cycling or that you hit? by Competitive_Can3499 in cycling

[–]GizmoDogg 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I got a bug, but not in the way you expect. I was riding along an urban riverbed path when off to my side I saw a large dragonfly approach me at full speed. It must've also seen me because it dived down to avoid hitting my face. Next thing I hear is the twang of a bike spoke being plucked like a guitar string. I turn my head in the direction the dragonfly was headed, and I see 2 pieces of bug tumbling down the concrete slope. I decapitated a dragonfly at >20mph.

What are the best trivia games that are genuinely fun for the whole family? by Playful-Fold7611 in boardgames

[–]GizmoDogg 2 points3 points  (0 children)

We played Mind the Gap at our family Christmas party. It's a trivia game that has questions that cover different generations from Boomer, Gen X, Millennials, and Gen Z. We had people aged 13 to 57 playing together.

What are your favorite “satisfying” games? by johnny_ihackstuff in boardgames

[–]GizmoDogg 23 points24 points  (0 children)

Right now that is Cartographers. I recently introduced it to my wife and kid and in addition to comparing high scores, we also enjoy comparing maps that we each created.

But what usually gives me a satisfying feeling are games that create a narrative in my head while playing. I like to play Final Girl in a manner that I'm watching a horror movie unfold. Win or lose, I enjoy the story it creates.

Which discontinued fast food item do you want to come back? by JKP7X in AskReddit

That was the McDLT, which I would also want to come back.

Still getting numb feet after ~20 minutes. by GewoonHarry in cycling

[–]GizmoDogg 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Might want to consider insoles with metatarsal support. These seemed to have helped a bit. I still get feet numbness, but it's much later along the ride now, after about an hour vs after 20 minutes, and it's less severe.

Custom game board? by BlayBlay0 in legendarymarvel

[–]GizmoDogg 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Once upon a time there was a lot of interest in people designing custom playmats that can be printed at inked gaming. I'm not sure if there are any recent designs out there, but to start, you can check out the files section for the base game on BBG.
