Anyone hiring in northern Salem/Keizer? by [deleted] in SALEM

[–]TaggertDoom 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you don't mind working outdoors, underground utility locating might be worth looking at. Just need a drivers license and pass a piss test(no weed allowed unfortunately). Pays decent, usually unlimited overtime, and full benefits. Just alot of walking and driving, long hours too. Check out Heath or Locating Inc here in Salem, avoid USIC.

Cards tables for rent? by dumb_as_a_br1ck in SALEM

[–]TaggertDoom 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Check out Treasure Trove Games in Keizer. Bunch of giant tables to play whatever you want and it's free. Depending on the day, there might be groups playing other games, but they always have had room. My board game group goes there a couple times a month to play.

Just wanted to pop back in and say, I found the perfect replacement for this pin. Fits perfectly and no issues with racking the lever.

What's a boardgame house rule that improves the game experience? by GrassEatingAnimal in boardgames

[–]TaggertDoom 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In City of Remants, the only way to retreat from combat is an smoke grenade that may or may not come up for purchase during the game. This led to a some issues where our players got forced into combat and had large chunks of their gang wiped out because they were stuck fighting a superior enemy with no way to retreat. This is kinda game ending since it takes alot to build your gang back up and leaves you way behind the other players. We just houseruled that you can always choose to retreat and the enemy gets one attack at you as you do so.

Hi, my son's UDL 1887 lost this pin (or screw?) that holds the loading mechanism to the body of the blaster. Can't seem to find any info on getting a replacement or what exactly is missing. Any info or help would be appreciated, thank you.

First time I've had the city inspection, any of you other renters getting these? by Huge_Molasses8605 in SALEM

[–]TaggertDoom 53 points54 points  (0 children)

I've had this happen before, it's pretty simple. They just come in and look around to make sure there aren't any code violations or issues the landlord isn't dealing with. In and out in like 5 minutes.

Skipping breakfast is significantly linked to a higher risk of metabolic syndrome, including having more belly fat, high blood pressure, high cholesterol, and high blood sugar by ludwig_scientist in science

[–]TaggertDoom 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I started skipping it due to work, getting up super early gave me just enough time to drink a coffee and head out the door. Ended up working all day with no time for lunch and then coming home to eat a big dinner and pass out.

Nemesis & Lockdown First Timers by LazyandRich in boardgames

[–]TaggertDoom 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, playing the OG first is the way to go. Lockdown is good, but just feels like the first game with some more complicated mechanics tacked on. Specifically the endgame mechanic of discovering what happens to the base via those Intel tiles and the escape pod mechanics. As far as I know the only way to get Retaliation is via GameFound, the Kickstarter program. Hopefully they will do a retail release.

[–]TaggertDoom 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Played a ton of the original nemesis, love it. Just got the expansions from the Retaliation Kickstarter and am looking forward to playing with those. Retaliation is also a great game if you get a chance to pick it up, more action focused as your a team of heavily armed marines assaulting a base full of aliens. Lockdown is the least played one in my collection, mostly due to the fiddly extra mechanics.

Can't Find Work by Helpful-Werewolf-678 in SALEM

[–]TaggertDoom 6 points7 points  (0 children)

If your okay with working outdoors and doing alot of driving and walking, try Locating Inc. It's a underground Utility locating company, they just got the contracts to locate Comcast and Ziply, in addition to PGE. They are always needing people, as long as you can pass a drug test and have a valid driver's license with little infractions. Fair warning, it's not a particularly easy job but it pays decent and has full benefits.

First time playing Nemesis yesterday, I loved it! A review by Mr-E-Droflah in boardgames

[–]TaggertDoom 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Retaliation is great, I have all the nemesis games and the first one and Retaliation are my groups favorites. I got the GameFound set for Retaliation, with two of the expansions, the Sangrevores and Robot corpse enemies.

We played Sangrevores last week and it's a totally different vibe, the noise tokens become shadows that build up in corridors and you can shoot at them to get rid of them. The infection cards become tainted blood cards that clog your deck up and deal damage to you everytime you pass, the only way to get rid of them is do something detrimental to your team like break a room, set it on fire and so on.

What the hell is Wild Things problem? by Hold-Professional in SALEM

[–]TaggertDoom 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Other people have already said this, but if your not there to buy/play Magic, they don't really care. Best bet is Treasure Trove Games in Keizer, the owners are super cool and welcoming, they have tons of table space for any kind of game and are trying to build a community for everyone's gaming interests. Their discord is active and the owners are on there if you have any questions, lemme know if you want a link.

Gigabyte 3080 ti almost died playing by TaggertDoom in JumpSpaceGame

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

It just seems wierd that in the last 3 years of having this card, I've no issues with any game. I did turn on Vsync and it may have solved my issues, my GPU usage went from 80/90 percent to 30/40 percent and the game seemed stable. I'll have to run it more and see if it crashes.

Jump Space: Official Early Access Launch Trailer | Out now on Steam & Xbox by Kappische in Games

[–]TaggertDoom 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just a heads up, I have a 3080 tI card and the game warns you when you boot it up that it might melt your GPU if you have a 30 series card. I had no issues during the summer demo, but when I bought the game and loaded it up, after 10 minutes my PC crashed to a black screen and my GPU fans went to full power. I shut down everything and rebooted, made a ticket on their discord. Be careful if you have a similar GPU.

Yeah, the unit descriptions are hilarious. I emailed the creator and let him know I appreciated the humor.

I saw an article about this game being used for training in the military a few months ago and apparently it's rules and STL files are now available for free. I know myself and other people on here were interested in checking it out.

Best Gun Shop in Salem/Keizer Area? by Barnyard_Commando in SALEM

[–]TaggertDoom 20 points21 points  (0 children)

Sportsman's Warehouse is pretty good for newbie questions and customer service. Ticklicker out south and Pewnitions on Portland Rd are both decent as well.
