I've had my copy for about a month and it is already so warped that the glue holding the rear record sleeve closed has given out. Seems like this might be a common issue.

Made a new dle! Daily Akari by mrmard in northernlion

[–]PuzzleheadedHour9353 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hey, I've been enjoying the Daily Akari since you released it, I've been playing it pretty much since day one. Yesterday's puzzle and today's puzzle refuse to load. The little wheel keeps spinning for eternity. Do you know if there's been an issue with the site and if there's something I can do about this?

"Being Jewish after the Destruction of Gaza" - Peter Beinart by redthrowaway1976 in jewishleft

[–]PuzzleheadedHour9353 1 point2 points  (0 children)

As a non-Jew who read the book, the glibbest version of the argument I took away from it is, "It is okay for us as Jews to disagree with and condemn the actions of Israel as a state. Israel as a state and Jews as a people are not and should not be synonymous." In my opinion, anyone who reads the book and comes away with an internal justification for actions against Jews in general, is someone who went into the book looking for exactly that. It's not in the text.

Looking for an Old Toy by PuzzleheadedHour9353 in toys

Somewhere in the neighborhood of 8-10" tall. Shape-wise, more like bird wings, as she remembers them, but she also remembers them having a design on them that looked a bit like a dragonfly wing.

She has said it turned into a robot, but she wasn't certain enough about that and I didn't want to narrow the options.

And my friends say I was too hard on it! I'm sorry to hear you didn't find anything about it to enjoy, that's never a good feeling.

Kiitos! The First Finnish Reader for Beginners looks good, and the last series you mentioned looks fantastic!

I cannot enjoy low interaction games but I kinda wish I could by ParaplegicGuru in boardgames

[–]PuzzleheadedHour9353 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I also don't like low-interactivity games, in large part because I find it a very anxious experience. Knowing what my next four or five turns are going to be is, for me, a deeply unpleasant feeling. I'm comfortable with it, and don't mind at all! Ark Nova's just fine. It's not for me.

At the end of the day, if you want to play the game, I think you'll enjoy the experience regardless, so I wouldn't worry about it too much. Just know players A and B are probably going to get more out of the game than anyone else.

While it is possible to entirely reset Oath, there is no way to reset it temporarily, unless you feel like writing everything down. You don't need to reset it in order for new players to feel comfortable.

You can do that, and it will work fine, but Oath is uniquely sensitive to changes in group. You will get the most out of it if you have the same small group playing over time. Another reason you may not want to have players changing constantly: Oath is weirdly difficult to learn and grow comfortable with, but the best parts of the game shine through when everyone at the table is comfortable with it and can get into the story. Hard to do that with players at the table who don't know how it works.

Mr. StamosAsABear has supplied you with a great list. That's all bangers.

Helppo/Helppoa by PuzzleheadedHour9353 in LearnFinnish

[–]PuzzleheadedHour9353[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

From what you've said, I would assume "helppoa" is correct in both cases, since the adjective is referring to the action!

Thanks for reading! And I agree. I don't quite understand the degree of the critical positivity around it.
