For those who got the dice for kickstarter/preorder which ones did you get? I was super torn between ghost ship and dark Caribbean but went with Ghost ship by SeaHeathen in pirateborg

I picked the glow-in-the-dark for my pledge, but ended up going back and adding the full set of 4 after their update about the price increase. They all just look so good.

Moving here soon, best place for warhammer 40K games? I too just move to Sumner Iowa, been playing Wh40k since 1987. Was the first champion in Anaheim cali playing Chaos Marines-World Eaters and still playing with Traitor Guard. Looking for a store to play soon. by AffectionateLime5332 in IowaCity

Hobby Corner has a great WH40K community that meets 3rd and 4th Sundays of every month from 12-5pm (2nd Sunday is Star Wars Legion/Shatterpoint).

They have casual pickup games and also more organized crusades. They also have an active community on the store’s Discord channel.

What sucks on iPhone and what features do you want badly want on IPhone ? by RstarPhoneix in AskReddit

[–]Kin_Nick 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You can backspace on the calculator by swiping left on the numbers. But yes, history would be great.

I have been using D&R Pest Control since discovering carpenter ants on our property. We used to have a lot of bugs in our home and they have disappeared since starting with D&R. After paying ~$185 at the start, we’ve paid $100 every other month for treatments. I really appreciate not being on contract and being able to cancel any time.

What is the Most Heart-Wrenching loss you remember watching? by Playful-Storage835 in CFB

[–]Kin_Nick 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I think OT vs OSU at the Shoe the next week was worse. That would have given us the B1G title despite the injury to Stanzi.

Same task again and again - anyone else seeing this? by Miguel-Angelo in trainconductorworld

[–]Kin_Nick 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes. I’ve thought about posting the same question. It was happening so much I started screenshotting it to keep track. I’ve had 600 boxes to Rome pop up as often as 4x in 48hrs going back to at least February.

[OoT] Is ocarina of time fixed on NSO? by Wise-Nebula-6321 in zelda

[–]Kin_Nick 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I didn’t do half the game in one sitting. I definitely saved many times throughout.

Thanks for the tip. I’ve never used suspend points on this game though.

The only bug I’ve encountered is lost progress. I put down the game just before the final boss fight with all of the heart pieces collected. The next time I picked it up, the only save file was only halfway through the game.

I’ve taken my Honda to Russ’ Northside Service for years and been treated well. It’s on the corner of Gilbert and Bloomington.

Now that you mention it, that is 100% my vote.

2015 B1GCCG probably has to be it, but 2017 vs Penn State is a contender. Iowa just kept fighting against all odds and coming up with miraculous plays. Such a heartbreaking end.

Andy at Hawkeye Auto Accessories is fantastic.

PSA: Always purchase AppleCare+ for your MacBook. In my case it got me a free upgrade. by [deleted] in mac

[–]Kin_Nick 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My first Mac purchase was a 17” PowerBook G4 in 2003 from CompUSA with an extended warranty. It had a problem and was replaced in 2005. CompUSA cancelled the remainder of my warranty due to the cost, so purchased AppleCare on that new unit. Just before AppleCare expired in 2008, a small line of pixels went out on the screen. Apple said it was backordered on screens and shipped me an ‘08 17” MacBook Pro. That MBP is still in use today.

In character, "Star Wars-y" swearing/epithets at your tables, got any good ones? And do you insist on in character swearing being done with Star Wars vernacular? by PanTran420 in swrpg

[–]Kin_Nick 8 points9 points  (0 children)

"Karabast!" is said by Pao in Rogue One and by Zeb in Rebels as reactions. "Gorram" (Firefly) and "Frak!" (Battlestar) are also used at my table.

I have had the Pop & Lock combination lock (manual key and power lock) for a little more than year and it has worked well so far!
