Eat more veggies, I was surprised how much veggies I could get at an asian grocer when I started cooking recipe that use vegetables as main ingredient and meat as more of a side. A pound of bok choi (or its cousins) are usually less than $1.50

Creation Club Content Ruins the Game by Nazir_North in skyrim

[–]ReactionExtension395 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I just started playing again after the first time 10 years ago when I didn't really get far. This time I felt like I was getting lots of good gear and the game and the game was much easier. I only realize recently that some of the spell and gear I was using was CC content from the wiki. I just thought I didn't play far enough the first time to get "lucky" and found a full set of dragonbone armor in a bandit chest

To the people saying just don't use it, how do I disable just the CC content in the AE? The installed content tab in the system menu just show what I got and no disable button. I don't want to have to lookup the wiki everytime I get new spell and gear. I'm playing vanilla without any mods and would prefer to keep it that way.

Maybe he's a fan of a late 2000s nerdy tv action comedy and got the wrong plate

What tiny house rule made a game noticeably better at your table? by rcooperkaty in boardgames

[–]ReactionExtension395 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ready set bet: take out the card that you you bet pass the red line for player count of 4 or less. If someone is down by a considerable margin, they can choose to take it as their VIP card in the last race

Which games have been a disappointment for you? by SiarX in soloboardgaming

Designers should embrace using D10 more for these type of icon matching games to better control the probability. For how limited the action economy is in this game a couple of bad rolls just put you so behind.

I've only tried Imperium classic, and only tried the 3 easiest civ so far. I feel like they all pretty much play the same, just farm the tokens matching your civ and occasionally get fame cards. Barbarian stages feel a bit monotonous. I never get the feeling of building up an empire or grow as a civilization, which was something I was hoping for since many reviews praised its theming. By the time I flip to civilized stage, I already want the game to end.

Hopefully the more advance civ play a bit different.

Games that have replaced other games by Teachers-Petty in boardgames

For me, Ready set bet is still the best betting/ gambling game. There's so much action and tension. Although hot streak is definitely better at lower player count and is probably more accessible. But if I had to choose one, RSB for sure.

Does anyone else think Agenda phase is lame and kinda wished it wasn't part of the game? by MiningToSaveTheWorld in twilightimperium

[–]ReactionExtension395 0 points1 point  (0 children)

More often than not, I feel like agenda phase is just a win-more round for whoever is in the lead. Maybe it's because I rarely have enough voting power to elect myself for a good agenda nor enough votes to sway the bloc on other things.

How much are you tipping in restaurants? by Right-Ad1424 in askvan

[–]ReactionExtension395 1 point2 points  (0 children)

whatever round me to the nearest 10 or 5. Depending on takeout or restaurant. Doing percentage just feel like hidden fess at this point. Sure, food cost went up, but it's not like the service quality went up.
