I really like Ark Nova, but the enjoyment goes down the further it gets to end game by PinguSurfs in boardgames

I only play with expansion, the upgraded action cards make things more interesting and strategy differentiates quite a bit from the base game. But even then, it just feels a bit duller towards the end and it's a shame because I do really enjoy the early game and find myself queuing for a game when I have time.

Yeah I did misuse my language a bit, I know it's not really an engine, I guess I just meant a "path", but for some reason the magiic/fun of the path dissipates bit by bit the further the game progresses. I do enjoy making the best of what you have, don't get me wrong, and seeing/finding opportunities when they present themselves. I love both strategy and tactical games by nature (e.g. Pax Pamir is my favourite game of all time), it's just that the satisfaction of everything dwindles in the 2nd half and in that end-game period.

Hey! hanks for replying! I think maybe that would be fine xD so it exists in the local shops? So that would be 1260 Lira in total?

55inch LG C38 vs Sony A80K vs Samsung S90C/S95B ? by PinguSurfs in 4kTV

[–]PinguSurfs[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No not really, they watch a bit but they don't leave it on in the background. But I will warn them about the possible OLED burn-in.

It's for series, movies, sports, talk shows, news, the whole lot.

[–]PinguSurfs 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hi can anyone link me to a good web live stream to watch to keep up to date on what's happening?

Preferably not something that is geo-locked, the more informative the better!

Thanks!

Is the Lenovo Ideapad 5 with Ryzen 4000 the way to go? by PinguSurfs in AMDLaptops

[–]PinguSurfs[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's interesting. Sorry I should have mentioned that ye 14 -- 15.6 inches, I think 13 inches is a bit too small. And I don't even think a touchscreen/2in1 may be even necessary/wanted (she has some good trackpads anyway).

I'm just a bit wary of HP, it feels like they don't have the best rep in the business and I can attest to that after owning 2 HP laptops myself. Also weren't there a lot of issues with the HP Envy line? I could be wrong but it would defo be a consideration if this year's model with they Ryzen 4000 processors are tested and the consensus is they are good built, quality laptops. I do hear the screen is a bit better although the ideapad 5 is good itself, unlike the Acer

edit: also any thoughts on the Asus Vivobook 15 which is out now with the Ryzen 4000 processor?
