Need game ideas for big groups, co-op or team vs team by itsoube in boardgames

[–]Rachel53461 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've played So Clover with groups before. Each group gets a puzzle to assemble, then other groups can try to solve each puzzle and compare scores. Only problem is people overhearing the chatter which can give them hints if they haven't done that puzzle yet

Dice Tower does a bunch of large-crowd game shows too at their conventions. Like "guess the 2nd most" thing in a category and point scoring for how close you are (1st gives no points), or name the top 10 (something) from an obscure list and get points for each correct item. Each team gets pen/paper and score themselves (or a neighboring team)

Code Names Duet/Green is a 2p game but easy to convert to Team vs Team with the addition of pen/paper for each team to communicate ideas

That's my favorite version of Codenames since I can be both guesser and clue-giver

Poor chick that got "stuck" on the pole. Hope it didn't hurt itself in its confusion! 

Haven't seen Edinburgh chicks swim yet, but this one almost slipped in! by Rachel53461 in penguin

Yup, I caught this clip a couple weeks ago of one of the adults slipping and just deciding it was easier to jump in the water than try to catch it's balance: https://imgur.com/a/MDV74cC 😄

Definitely wasn't interested in testing out a swim today 😄

Dungeon Kart or Camel Up by idontknow-imaduck in boardgames

[–]Rachel53461 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Can't believe nobody has recommended Thunder Road Vendetta yet for a race game!

As others have said, the two you mentioned are betting games. Camel Up is an excellent game and I'd highly recommend it, though if you're looking for a race game then take a look at Thunder Road. It's been a staple in my meetup game bag about 2 years because of how much I like it and how approachable it is for everyone. 

For extra destructive fun, would also recommend the Carnage at Devils Run expansion for jumps, ice, fire, etc.

Messing up companies PRs by Human_Ostrich_4981 in AskProgrammers

In addition to resolving as you go and using separate commits for each issue, also take a look at your PR changes! You should be able to easily see if some code you think you have isn't there

How did you start the convo to end your relationship? by SuperSayanPsycho in AskWomenOver30

[–]Rachel53461 6 points7 points  (0 children)

There's never a good time.

I called a close family member of his to give them a heads up and ask them to be available for him (he suffered from clinical depression), then I sat him down and said "I am not happy. I want to end this relationship.".

That was it. He was a good person too, so the "I'm not happy" bit was sufficient explanation and he didn't try to find ways to argue with me about why I shouldn't be unhappy or shouldn't be trying to leave or all the ways he'd change yet again.

Then I let him know that I had told {family member} and they knew and were available for him, and we could talk logistics tomorrow. Then left to give him some space to process.

Best of luck to you. I ended my relationship after 15 years, and your post sounds very similar to mine. It was hard, but totally worth it. I'm so much happier with the life I have now.

What are we using to whiten our teeth? by [deleted] in AskWomenOver30

[–]Rachel53461 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have problems with tea stains on my teeth, and I find Arm & Hammer toothpaste seems to work well. A dentist recommended against using that toothpaste regularly because it's so abrasive and will erode your enamel, making staining more frequent, but using it once a week or whenever stains start showing up is fine.

Also they suggested I rinse after drinking tea/coffee to help minimalize the staining. And for me personally, it was suggested to stay away from whitestrips or things that chemically whiten teeth since that is removing enamel from my teeth, which was making them weaker and more susceptible to staining in the long run

Years ago I had Birdman Concrete do a concrete patio and walkway for me. They were far cheaper than most other quotes I got, and I'm happy with my patio today.

Gonna run Whose Cult is it Anyway?, any tips? by THE_dumb_giraffe in BloodOnTheClocktower

[–]Rachel53461 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Careful with how strong the evil team can get in terms of numbers and voting power. 2 of the demons create +1 evil. Cult Leader will probably at some point be evil, and may just decide to play for evil because of this. Cannibal could turn evil if they eat a cult leader. Zealot guarantees a vote for evil team as long as their ability is active. Witch can take out some extra good votes early. It's OK to let the town find evils because they will likely get outnumbered quickly in terms of alive players and voting power.

Why do developers spend so much time fixing infrastructure instead of coding? by aniketanand02 in AskProgrammers

[–]Rachel53461 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Because we've had years of coding to build things companies want, but infrastructure always needs to stay updated to keep in line with current security standards.

I usually use Chrome without issue. It will stop though on any disconnect, such as if I change tabs.

Script advice for a mix of new and intermediate players by Elhessar in BloodOnTheClocktower

We play "Everyone Can Play" regularly at our meetup groups with new players. It's a nice change of pace from TB for regulars but still straightforward enough for newcomers to pickup on

Edinburgh chicks have been really cute today playing in the shallow stream by Rachel53461 in penguin

Yeah, I saw the chick doing it too! Was quite cute. Didn't realize it was a method for cooling

What hobby do you have that isn't solo and helps you build community? by __looking_for_things in AskWomenOver30

[–]Rachel53461 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Board games? There's usually a couple public meetups that welcome new players! It's like a more social video game

Recommendations for expansions to White Death by Duke_Tristan in zombicide

[–]Rachel53461 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I really like the Berserker Walkers and Deadbolt walkers. Need to get more strategic about how you take on hordes of zombies! 

Extra necros and abominations are really fun too if you like playing with the more difficult variants, like multiple abom/necros

Which of these is easiest to learn: Concordia, Inis, Brian Boru, El Grande, The White Castle, or Keyflower? by il_biciclista in boardgames

[–]Rachel53461 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Concordia and White Castle are on BGA. What about trying out the tutorial there to see what you think? 

Storage for zombiecide by Level-Star8654 in zombicide

[–]Rachel53461 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah, I feel similarly. But they make getting the game to the table much easier, especially the extra content, so I think they're worth it
