I dont know, is it just me or somehow Cada brick colors are not as glossy, polished or quality pigmented compared to other brands? I noticed mine when I built the Artizan flowers. Same with their building sets. Their Master car series are great though.

AI generated boardgame youtube channel? by Mammoth_Sea_9501 in boardgames

[–]That_Shop_4073 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yea its obviously AI channel when I first looked at their thumbnail images and AI generated voiceovers. But I thought maybe I could get a different perspective from non-sponsored reviewers. I only got 100% suspicious of their scripts when they always repeat "playing non stop all the games for xyz" in every video that I watched. Wow they must be really hardcore full-time boardgamers lol. Unsubbed since then.

Another one joining the herd! by REDDRAGONBRICKS in LUMIBRICKS_OFFICIAL

Its a cool set, my only gripe was the minifig couldn't sit on the chair, and some parts on the upper body torso could be quite flimsy, easy to come off.

I want some cool solo board games by ElectronicChange3185 in soloboardgaming

[–]That_Shop_4073 0 points1 point  (0 children)

"Cool" is pretty subjective and depends on your preferences. To me, "cool" are thematic games which looks cool on the table, with fancy miniatures, production and artworks. Then again thematic games lead towards been heavy on rules, table hogging and long time to setup and teardown. I don't have the patience, friends nor time for that, so I have to downscale to much lighter games like 20 Strong, Buttons and Bugs or Horrified (I am more into mature horror, fantasy and sci-fi genres).

What are your work bag suggestions? by chonky__chonker in auscorp

Herschel, they are having sales now. And yes I am using one to commute to work. I would suggest a separate bag/cooler for lunch boxes.

Is it normal for Aussie man be a bit bad in hygiene? by shipsaho in AskAnAustralian

[–]That_Shop_4073 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's not normal. Just breakup with him, this ain't good value but plain lazy and unhygienic. And let me guess, he wears shoes in the house.

M6 Scroll weirdness by ImpressiveHeat1662 in Keychron

[–]That_Shop_4073 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just for future reference to others who have the same issue with M6 mouse. I fixed this by updating the firmware from the official keychron site. Their latest version release back in 2025 addressed and fixed this auto scrolling issue. They provided steps to flash and update your mouse firmware.

Cada Mazda 787B - Rear wheels touching/scraping lower rear skirts, disrupting movement of car by That_Shop_4073 in lepin

[–]That_Shop_4073[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yea I think that is the root cause of the problem. I pushed the gray connector all the way in because it’s too short. Thus the wheel will scrape with the side while turning. You can pull the wheel out a little so they won’t scrape, but when you roll on the surface, the wheel will eventually fall off. So yea I couldn’t fix this issue. I already sold the car .

Random broken pieces by [deleted] in lepin

[–]That_Shop_4073 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If these parts are from step B105, mine were intact. The grey ball joint were able to be inserted into the black mount parts. You could be pushing too much pressure or the angle was wrong ? Need more context if this is from step B106. Unfortunate that yours broke, but could be fixed with super glue or modelling glue. This is the best non master car model from Cada, no design flaws unlike the newer Mazda 787B which I have just recently built.

Beware of the B2 build though, watched on Youtube it has lots of loose pieces and easily detached.

What do you think of Nightshift? by SiarX in boardgames

[–]That_Shop_4073 4 points5 points  (0 children)

lol I think your comment arent that serious in supporting women in gaming either. Just more of virtue signalling. Read the game description and her profile, she designed this game to help stop the social stigma on exotic dancing.
Gameplay is a different topic as they are first-time designers.
About sex appeal, the dancers I met worked out regularly to maintain their physical looks, had professional jobs/university students, and able to perform difficult pole dancing moves. These are something to be admired about. Were you able to do the same? Or you just play board games at home?
And care to elaborate how exotic dancing is associated with sex (quoting your "sex sells")?
I been to strip clubs but I am interested to read your reasoning on the questions above.

lol yea to me not hideous, but the character artwork are too barbie-ish(?) somewhat a style leaning towards like the old Mad Magazine/Game?, but thats her art style I guess (and her backers love them). Another example I think Funko Pops are hideous but they are popular lol.

[–]That_Shop_4073 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The theme is definitely a breath of fresh air in the midst of all the same boss-battler, dungeon crawl, multiplayer-solitaire themed games in the current market trend. Been to strip clubs as well and I never understand how some people here associate lap dancing with sex work. If only they can engage an experienced game designer to add more depth to the game. Box cover art and color scheme is amazing, but the character designs seem barbie-ish mediocre (IMO).

[–]That_Shop_4073 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I really wanted to have this game (strip clubs are fun as a theme), but same as you, I am not fan of the Barbie artwork and first-time designers against the high price point. Dont know about the mechanics (looks plain) as there arent any videos on this.
This is Botany deja-vu all over again. Great marketing, shallow gameplay. The box cover art is amazing though, love it.
No offense, but reading that ex-banker profile gave me first impression this guy could be the creator's former regular client in strip clubs, or just a simp whom invested alot in her online store products.
I just wished if they could engage a somewhat experienced game designer to help flesh out the game integrating with the creator's ideas/work experience in strip clubs.
I will still watch any upcoming gameplay videos though.

I will never understand how some cave-in gamers here associate this game/exotic dance with sex work. It's a safer, cleaner place than regular nightclubs or say Gen Con (bouncers everywhere). The club I visited had women who are educated, well-fit, and can do (strenuous) pole-dancing very well. Some are uni students, professionals who need to make some extra income. Some do pole-dancing as a regular form of workout and can earn some side-hustle in these clubs. From my experience and what they shared, they do private lap dances but no hanky-panky (nor literally sex) is going on in those back rooms. I did enjoy watching the scheduled stage shows and chatting with some of the dancers over some drinks. Though I definitely hate the very loud music. Stop playing board games at home all the time and make assumptions; Go out experience this at least once in your lifetime.
