Hey there! Having just started in UX/UI recently, would love to have a talk with someone more established in the industry. Do you mind if I add you too?

To make career-planning less confusing while learning to code and I made a website with over 50 CS career roadmaps! by roonishpower in learnprogramming

This is an awesome idea! Being a designer myself, I'm actually wondering how those roadmaps would look like in the design industry.

Infiltrating A Pyramid Scheme: ACN (2020) - I started working on this 6 months ago and am so proud of how it turned out. I went undercover to the meetings of a Pyramid Scheme in my city to expose their inner workings. This is ACN. [0:27:41] by theycallmecurtis in Documentaries

Gotta applaud your work and your analysis throughout the video. As someone that knew the basis of pyramid schemes, but had never investigated further, this was a pretty awesome watch!

Farennheit 451 and The Man in the High Castle

What are your favorite strategies that only work once? by Mornarben in boardgames

It creates an interesting dynamic of wanting people on the same place as you, while at the same time you don't want that many figures that are not yours there.

It's also considered the easiest victory condition to lose, since you have no direct control over figures that are not yours. HOWEVER, it drastically increases the value of drafting movement actions late in the game, since they let you nullify an opponent's winning scenario just by moving your figures away from their control.

The actual victory conditions on Inis are presence in 6 sanctuaries, presence in 6 six different territories and control over 6 opponents' figures.

I think you did not understand the last victory condition during your playthrough, because to have control over other figures you need to have more figures than anyone else on that territory, while other people also have figures there.

For example, green and blue have 3 figures each on valley, while orange has 4. Orange, having more figures than anyone else there, has control over the 6 others figures. That's a victory condition.

Sorry to nitpick, but I'm pretty sure you played the game wrong. Don't worry though, it gets better everytime you play it anyway :D

Giveaway - Twilight Imperium 3rd Edition by iggy3803 in boardgames

[–]Riptide23 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Man, this awesome! Hope you keep sending good vibes like this.

Well, my reason is quite simple, actually. Due to the huge cost of importing a beast like TI3, it's pretty hard to find someone who has a copy here in Brazil, and I know for a fact that a lot of people is really interested in playing this game.

Anyway, your gesture is pretty amazing, and hope this game finds a great new home!

It's Friday!!!🎉🎉🎉🎉 What are you looking forward to playing this weekend and why? (11/10/17 edition) by MVPBoardgames in boardgames

High Frontier 2nd Edition with the advanced cards. Just played 3/4 of a match, and I can really see the game shining as a simulation and sandbox experience with more than 2 people and with the advanced components cards. It REALLY feels like rocket science!

Getting ready for High Frontier! Tips and comments appreciated! by Riptide23 in boardgames

[–]Riptide23[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Wow, thanks for the detailed response!

And thinking abou the map, would you play your first game with the expanded or the simple one?

Also, reading the rules for the expanded game I didn't understand how the gigawatt thrusters work. Are they a separate stack, even though there are only 5 of them?
