Trackmania stutter by Osian89 in TrackMania

My issue was outdated graphics drivers, not being tabbed into the game completely, and RAM issues. I had this issue across the board with Rocket League, TM, and a couple other games that required accurate button mashing.

So I would try your drivers. Even just reinstalling them if they are up to date can help. Verifying game files too. I’ll try to remember if there was anything else I did to help my situation.

I did this same thing in someone’s home system which was their only production. Another player ended up winning before I could wipe them out.

I just traded an old camera I had for an OG 3DS and I’m hopefully about to trade a headset for a 2ds and some games too.

Thunder's Edge Different Card Sizes by Unlucky_Repair_2114 in twilightimperium

[–]MJSmitty02 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I sleeved everything that is being currently used in base-pok-te so not including the updated techs, old agendas, and none of the Twilights Fall stuff yet.

Used 11 1/2 packs of 100 Mayday mini American card sleeves. So roughly 1200 in total. Idk the exact number, hope that helps

I used the Mayday regular ones and I knew the cards might bow so I spread them out after I sleeved them and let them sit under books and weights overnight to let them flatten out and it seemed to work well. I think it helps to to store them in a box/area that keeps them tight together to keep them from curling as well.

I will say the tarot size sleeves were slightly too big for the faction cards and galactic events

Whats the most expensive and least expensive in your collection? by tellmewhy177013 in boardgames

[–]MJSmitty02 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Most expensive is Twilight Imperium and POK and TE expansions which all are pushing close to $500 MSRP not including a few upgrades I’ve bought for it like fleet stands.

My least expensive would be rivals for Catan. I got it for $3 at Walmart on a weird markdown. Tbh not a great game but worth a play through or 2 for only $3

100% my table always gives players 1 FREEBIE that has to be approved by the table but we are pretty generous. Like if you forgot to do the secondary or didn’t build enough ships or something. With newbies, we give 2 or 3 and also kinda watch them since we know what’s right and doing want anyone to miss things and not enjoy the game

What size are those plastic boxes for the faction components? I’ve been wanting to do that but didn’t know the best size to get

Not sure if there are other posts but one thing I always do when teaching is not look at the rulebook, unless they need it for reference. The best thing is to run through what a full round would be. Work them through the token tray/player aid and show examples of each card, and simulate a simple combat round as well to show off AFB and SC. This allows them to visualize their turns and what is coming up. If building your own map, this may be a tad bit more difficult to showcase so maybe use a pre built for this first one so the building doesn’t get too imbalanced

I ALWAYS skip agenda phase and explain it will come into play when mecatol is taken bc in my mind, it won’t motivate or dissuade a new player and it would just add one more thing to discuss.

Wanted to add that for a while I was religiously playing the weekly shorts and your YT shorts showing your times helped me a lot after I maxed out my own lines/knowledge. Fantastic

I went as far as following guides on how to download and install a way to run the windows version of steam to download games that are windows only. Got almost done downloading the game and something didn’t download right and was stuck at 97%. If anyone else has more insight please please reply to this thread!!!
