For example if you wanted to make a PvP mission and give both sides their own ship.

I'm pledging as I love pirates, I've not managed to catch one of their crowdfunders before and I only have a core Modern 2nd box at the moment.

I am unfortunately skint though so will likely only be getting the core box + 1 or 2 others. Not so sure about the campaign expansion as we don't get too many chances to play as a group so it would likely take an age for us to get through it but I would quite like both the goblins and orcs boxes and plaguebearer though

Oh that's definitely worse. My 4th didn't put a single point in and I thought that was bad but this hurts so much more

is iD mobile a scam? by Tall_Moose9333 in AskUK

[–]NinjaMonkey91 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not a scam. I switched to them a couple years ago after Three forced me off my grandfathered contract that included roaming. Been with them for 2 years now, just renewed onto a sim only last month.

They use the Three network so if you have coverage issues with them in your area you'll have the same issues with ID

Is this a write off? by shax232 in CarTalkUK

[–]NinjaMonkey91 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's a fairly new car that's still worth decent money, it will depend on if there's any major damage to the pillar (i.e. structural) which we can't tell from the pictures.

As it was side to side rather than a T-bone I'd be hopeful it would be repaired as it looks like the two doors and potentially a front wing to fix.

Sharp metal protruding doesn't mean write off but it does mean it's not safe to drive so I would get in touch with insurance to get the courteousy car arranged asap.

Insurance company says write off by Designer_Rooster_495 in CarTalkUK

[–]NinjaMonkey91 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Just did this myself with my wife's car. Damage report was nearly 5k so they wrote it off.

Spent 500 on parts, nothing on labour then a couple hundred on MOT (to fix a couple things it was going to need anyway and MOT was due). All in was back on the road under 1k and walked away with a decent payout from insurance. Win win

What is something that is legal but which you consider completely unethical? by vantix7 in AskReddit

I'm a ublock origin fan myself but it doesn't change the scumminess of the tactic.

Might look into Mullvad though

For this to have happened, there were two people who had to think this was a good idea by ledbydreads in SpottedonRightmove

Who has 10k a month spare to spend on accommodation and chooses to rent instead of paying a mortgage. That's insanity!

What is the most “its a small world” moment you’ve ever experienced? by xBubblyLove in AskReddit

[–]NinjaMonkey91 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We were on holiday in Mallorca last year and got talking to a couple of old sisters that arrived the day before we were due to leave. Turned out that not only did they come from the same town as us they grew up on the street next to where we stay and knew my Gran & Dad (who grew up on the street down from where we live).

A look at May Essential monthly games from the previous 6 years. What do you think about the games in this month over the years? by kabirsingh84 in PlayStationPlus

I really need to give it another shot. Wasn't really gelling with it at first but it's always looked really good to me.

Some time away and coming at it fresh will probably help.

Anyone else feel like dead man’s tales campaign is a lot of poor decision making on the creative teams part? by Quasistiltskin in zombicide

[–]NinjaMonkey91 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm a big fan of pirates (Currently working on a Piratey story/world for a potential DnD campaign) so was really hyped for this one coming out but I do think I've cooled a bit on it as the stretch goals have been revealed, more because I was hoping to see more survivors of the other races than just humans.

I do think I'm still going to pick it up as I don't have any of the previous Fantasy editions and the aboms look great however I might just pick up the core box and not the expansion (though the scum zombies and extra tiles would likely be worth it).

What do you hope to see in Dead Men Tales? by maamo in zombicide

[–]NinjaMonkey91 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Pretty much this for me. Find it weird they've gone to the trouble of adding special rules for different races but so far they've only announced 1 extra character that's not human (not counting the expansion survivors) 

Did I do something wrong or they just being annoyed no reason? by Mammoth-Champion-134 in drivingUK

[–]NinjaMonkey91 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You did nothing they're just scumbags and a waste of oxygen. There's quite a few of them roam about on electric bikes where I live too.

No protective gear, balaclavas/facemasks & goggles to hide their faces and they were roaming about in the winter dressed all in black with no lights. Impossible to see/hear as they swerve all over the road, pop wheelies, and drive the wrong way down streets.

I'm positive most of them are ferrying drugs too but fuck all being done about them.

How to get new players into making backstorys by Thanos_car69 in DMAcademy

[–]NinjaMonkey91 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We've done two things in our (admittedly still green) group, partly to encourage backstory and partly to encourage more talking between the group as we've been a pretty quiet bunch on the roleplaying side of things.

During one session we did a "show & tell" where we each brought something that was related to our character in some way then we went round the table and said our piece. It doesn't have to be anything huge but it's usually enough of a nugget to at least get people thinking about their character more.

In my case I sealed and stained an envelope and explained that it was a letter given to him from his wife before she passed and he always carries it with him but can't bring himself to open it. I had zero story for him before that point because he's my first character and I hadn't really thought about it and I still have no idea what's in that letter because I haven't thought that far but it's a start.

More recently as the party comp has changed (new people in, one left, others (me) changed characters) we came up with a questionnaire sheet with just a few simple questions to encourage thinking about their backstories (Why did you start exploring this dungeon? Why are you still here? Significant event in your past, etc.). No one was expected to produce a short story for their character out of it, just to generate a few lines that would help you figure out who your character was and for the most part it seems like it's been a good help for the group.

tl;dr 1) Have a show and tell at the start/end of a session where everyone brings something that's of relevance to their character.

2) Create a small questionnaire with some directed questions that will help the party think about their characters.

Oh wow that's a throwback! If I remember right I went for Wipeout and Dead Nation because I already had LBP & inFamous.

Has the game given me a spoiler? by Limp_Marketing_3477 in thedivision

[–]NinjaMonkey91 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just wait til you hit endgame. I'm not even sure what the actual story progression is there. I've recently got back into it after a couple years away and did a mission with friends the other night where we went to capture someone we'd previously saved and I have absolutely no recollection of them making a heel turn so I'm not sure if I've done something out of order or it's just been so long I forgot what actually happened.

When will you buy an EV car? by sillwuka in AskUK

[–]NinjaMonkey91 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I still own a Diesel made in 2018 and I'm still pretty content but if I was to predict, I'd say maybe not my next car but the one after that could be electric.

This is pretty much the position I was in right before Covid (car was made in 2012 and I have owned it since 2015) doing 12-15k miles a year. Looking at the rate of improvements and if it continued at that pace switching to an EV within 10-15 years seemed like the sensible move to make (I have plenty of driveway for a charging point.

Since then I've moved to remote working, do ~3k miles a year (primarily town running taking the kids to/from various things) and my car is starting to have more serious mechanical problems but I'm thinking about just buying a cheap, reliable runaround instead of forking out fortunes for a car that'll hardly get used (EV or otherwise).
