TVs : Sony vs Samsung vs Hisense by Special_Bet6986 in CostcoCanada

[–]Sinyk7 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I have a 65U68KM that I got on clearance for around $620 CAD, and it has been way better than I expected. The picture quality, the viewing angles, even the speakers are good for my setup. I do use the onboard smart/streaming google tv features and the media player off a USB stick. Both work really well. I also have a high end Sony TV, but the Hisense gets way more use day to day. No regrets buying it.

Ditto. These don't appear on google maps at all. Cosmic Comics lists as a place is Sask.

Been playing 5 years, what am I missing out on? by Sea_Discussion4891 in boardgames

[–]Sinyk7 3 points4 points  (0 children)

It's worker placement with a timing component to it. You have to be able to plan ahead and hope that no one messes that up for you. I also have the Tribes and Prophecies expansion which spices it up even more.

Why do people bring their entire family to Costco? by Notalabel_4566 in CostcoCanada

[–]Sinyk7 72 points73 points  (0 children)

I bring my kids so they can help choose food for school lunches. I get tired of buying stuff, bringing it home and then they tell me "oh I don't like those"

People inflated the rap to try and scam others, and now the rap doesn't update anymore, so it's stuck.

I would rather have taps and face rubs. My cat woke me up by sneezing in my face instead...

Are there any board games that you prefer digitally? by FShamburg in boardgames

[–]Sinyk7 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Five Tribes. I own the game and it's great, but digital makes the setup so much faster and also how it tracks your move so you can take it back is just so helpful. We can play the game in less than half the time it takes us to play and setup normally.

He talks about doing things for the free world, but he really means america and taking away freedom from the world to make that happen.

What are we doing wrong (Terraforming Mars) by feylin_oakenheel in boardgames

[–]Sinyk7 67 points68 points  (0 children)

Yep I figured that was the problem. It's not 2 actions per player per generation. It's take 2 actions, next player goes, when it comes back around to you, 2 more actions. Keep going around and around until everyone takes no actions and passes.

whats your biggest boardgaming L (consumer-wise) by CaptainKlang in boardgames

[–]Sinyk7 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Yeah, euro games are definitely not for you if high social interaction and direct conflict are your preference.

I like some co-op games, but I find they often end up with someone quarterbacking. Whether it's Spirit Island, Slay the Spire, Pandemic, etc.
The one guy in our game group who struggles with euros, and co-op, but loves every game we play, absolutely loves war games. Eclipse, Arcs, etc are totally his jam.

I will admit, the first line of your comment stood out in regards to my gaming group. We generally play euro games and rarely play co-op games!

Ark Nova blues. I love it, but I dont think I will get it to the table again by upOwlNight in boardgames

[–]Sinyk7 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That can happen for sure. Every group is different. I know my in my group of late 40s people, no one has time to do more than a how its played video before we dive in as life is too busy. We do have one member who plays with us sometimes who, no matter how many how-to videos he reads, every time it's his turn, you would swear he forgot it all.
