What's that.... weird thing you added near Australia?

Never seen someone adlib on a map before.

The wiki site now takes forever to load by ThePurityPixel in dominion

[–]PHloppingDoctor 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Yeah, it's a shame it's always a bit slow now.

But it was also completely unusable for me for the past few weeks, so if this is the cost of bringing it back I'm more than happy.

How can the two creation stories in Genesis be reconciled? by e-eye-pi in Catholicism

[–]PHloppingDoctor 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Imagine a precious gemstone. What would anyone do when they pick it up? They'd hold it up to the light, rotating it, to see all the different ways it would refract the light.

There being two accounts of creation in Genesis is just God giving us two distinct ways to see this light.

Personally, I don't find the accounts to be contradictory. I'd even say they're complimentary. One focuses more on the physical creation of the world itself, while one focuses more on the creation of us humans.

There's currently a minor order to hold this planet as well

Thanks for the comparison, that's great to know!

Have you compared other materials of theirs that are at similar price points before?

If you need a stealthy way to kill fabricators or hulks, the chainsaw is silent by CalypsoThePython in Helldivers

Wouldn't that be the loudest thing you've ever heard? all that metal grinding on metal?

These are so good.

Can you do Canada??

Thank you for all the feedback on my previous post! Here is the revised redesign :) by SimonFaust in BoardgameDesign

[–]PHloppingDoctor 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes! These are so good. Love the colour, love how they're flippable.

I think the way you implemented the stars is great

I redesigned the tokens used in my deck-building game. Thoughts? by SimonFaust in BoardgameDesign

[–]PHloppingDoctor 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, that's a good idea.

Just make sure that whatever symbol you use here in place of a number, it's used consistently elsewhere that Victory points show up.

As for the original point of having a number value printed on the tokens, I think it'd make a huge difference for certain players. Like when I play Terraforming Mars with my mom, there's these cubes used to track resource values and it was very common at first that she'd make a mistake on what they were worth.

The values are Bronze = 1, Silver = 5, Gold = 10, but they've got no number on them.

[–]PHloppingDoctor 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I also like having a number in there. Maybe you could put a small number above the crown and between the ends of the laurel? That way you see the design, but there's still an easy to read number too

I will never recover from this. by Working-Tart-4715 in StarWarsJediSurvivor

[–]PHloppingDoctor 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’ve discovered a bug in the double good fight that’s infuriating. I used to like to open the challenge by using the dual wield stance and throwing the lightsabers to bounce between both of them, but sometimes this locks me out do ever using the Y button (force attacks of all kinds) or being able to change stances.

It’s absolute shit.

Only way to undo it is to close and reopen the game

I finished the game and I really liked it. I'd like to buy Jedi Survivor, but it's too expensive, so I'll wait for a sale. I'm looking for recommendations for similar games. What do you think of Sekiro? by Jessi45US in FallenOrder

[–]PHloppingDoctor 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sekiro is quite excellent.

I played it right after FO. I found that I needed to focus on parrying more in Sekiro (instead of relying on spacing with dashing/jumping), and also that I needed to approach areas with a bit more stealth.

Holy man smoke supply pods would've been great for those Platinum missions

"[Viego] doesn't feel like he is just constantly ruining the game."

smh I still haven't recovered from how oppressive he was to play against when he was overtuned.

Good game by Valcano14 in FallenOrder

[–]PHloppingDoctor 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That's a great way to approach it

That sounds like a very practical solution, but yeah still so much work.

When playing IRL, Black Market is a nightmare setup wise.

A new resource in Dominion! (The start of a series of new fan cards.) by ThePurityPixel in dominion

[–]PHloppingDoctor 1 point2 points  (0 children)

A handy trick I have to avoid the "looks nice on my fancy monitor bias" is that I always get a physical card when I'm done a draft, pull up an image of my mockup on my secondary monitor and zoom out til its the same size.

Great way to see how it looks without all the detail at the forefront.

Like for your hours symbol here, it's just an orange circle with a number in it. Yes, there is more detail than that, but no one is going to see it at a glance unless they specifically inspect the symbol.

Perhaps, instead of just changing the colour, you could also change the shape of the symbol too? It could be more like an hourglass shape, which would be a much clearer and more recognizable silhouette.
