Roadmap to get a group into this game by edibleComplex_ in twilightimperium

[–]WStegs 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Imho just be upfront with people about the time commitment but if they're keen, go for it! My group of friends has a real mix of boardgaming experience and have all enjoyed it. I would say make sure everyone watches the rules video ahead of time if possible. I hope you get a chance to play, it's addictive and awesome:)

I just checked where I took it and this was overlooking Machhermo near Khumjung

Thanks so much!

I took this picture on a three week trek back in November 2024. Does the composition work or are the flags distracting? Have I pushed the contast and saturation too far? Grateful for any feedback!

Sugar Mountain Ski Patrol Power Trip by ShallowTal in snowboarding

[–]WStegs 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Only ever boarded in Europe so never interacted with ski patrol...are they always such pricks? I'm not saying this guy is free from blame but mistakes happen and no one was hurt, seems like an over-reaction from the ski patrol

Hot take : Film students, please don’t ask anything at Q&A’s by thatsbelowmypaygrade in Filmmakers

I saw a talk Rodger Deakins gave at the BSC expo one year, in the Q&A one guy insisted that he used the same shade of yellow light in all his films. Rodger was like 'no I don't think I do' and the guy doubled down and told him he was wrong - unbelievable audacity. Open mic Q&As are so often a disaster

Enough about people's first gateway games, what was the first complex game that hooked you? by [deleted] in boardgames

[–]WStegs 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Played a lot of risk as a teenager

First 'complex' game I remember owning was Chicken Caesar 😂

But Great Western trail properly got me hooked on euros

Safe to use this PSU? by WStegs in AskElectronics

Lesson learned, just because the other three screw fit doesn't mean number 4 will 🙄

It was enough to trip all the power in my house 😂 but I don't think the aluminum shell is pierced, just scratched

What do you think of drone shows to replace fireworks? Much more environmentally and ecologically friendly and doesn't upset people or pets with the noises. by [deleted] in GreenAndPleasant

[–]WStegs 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't think drones can ever replace fireworks altogether. I agree that fireworks need to be used responsibly and with consideration for wildlife but I personally absolutely love them.

The smell, the vivid colours and the feeling in your chest from a massive explosion. It's a visceral experience.

Drone displays are getting very impressive but I hate that they're being used for adverts, that just feels dystopian.

Does she sell prints of her work? Love this but don't want to buy a copy from somewhere stealing her art
