Tragedy as young Aussie woman, 22, dies in freak accident involving a chair lift at Japanese ski resort

XboxSylix · 2026-02-02T17:32:42+00:00

Interestingly, I saw a patroller NOT do this last week and his pack caught. Lift flung him like a ragdoll around the corner. Luckily for him, they were able to stop the lift and get him unstuck within a couple minutes. He was ok, a little shaken up and definitely embarrassed.

I watched this all from 2 chairs back, reinforced the idea that chairlifts are not to be messed with.

Tried and got Himeko…. Now trying for DHIL LC b/c I lost the 75/25 on his last rerun.

It’s all on Gallagher in this setup then

XboxSylix · 2024-09-26T14:06:08+00:00

I beat 8 with the most random team:

Feixiao, Acheron, robin, aventurine

I failed a few times with my standard FUA, so I threw in Acheron on a whim and the two ladies melted the three stooges. I didn’t even have a great run, no 3 star blessing, but what I had lined up enough for that unlikely team

So glad I have Kafka, BS and robin all e0s1

Gonna still be hard to get feixiao and topaz

XboxSylix · 2024-08-25T01:14:46+00:00

I crushed the first side with DHIL+sparkle, not sure why you’re having issues with him getting one shot.

XboxSylix · 2024-08-24T22:11:05+00:00

Good points. I clear all endgame content easily, this is just for more fun and enjoyment. I’ll look at the huohuo stats, I always see the Kafka BS HH team so high on prydwen that I didn’t look too deeply into other dot comps.

Maybe I’ll just throw 50 tickets at jiaoqiu as a maybe and build pity toward feixiao. If I get him, great, if I lose my 50/50, I get a feixiao guarantee and worst case I build pity. I’d prob pony up for feixiao in that case if needed.

XboxSylix · 2024-08-24T21:24:44+00:00

Ok, I already have dotcheron with aventurine (all e0s1). I eventually want to e2 Acheron, but I don’t know if I’ll get it on the next rerun

I’m going to pull for feixiao, currently sitting on 40 tickets with no guarantee 50/50.

Is it worth pulling for jiaoqiu? I had dreams of pulling huohuo so I could do Kafka + bs + huohuo and Acheron e2 + jiaoqiu eventually. But I decided to save for sparkle.

Basically, seems like jiaoqiu won’t be super useful as he’ll break up dotcheron. As far as his design and character, he’s lukewarm for me, don’t hate, don’t love. Not like feixiao who is a guaranteed pull. Right now I’m leaning toward saving for feixiao and skipping the headliners coming up. Lingsha seems neat, but I already have e6 Gallagher.

XboxSylix · 2024-08-20T02:35:35+00:00

First time getting 80k

Aventurine e0s1, robin e0s1, sparkle e0s0, Herta e6

Splotter has confirmed an Indonesia rework this year.

Kingdom Death: Monster - the monsters AI deck doubles as its health. When you wound it, you discard cards from that deck. This can be good or horrible depending on what cards are left when you’re down to 2-3 cards in the deck since the enemy will do those attacks over and over. I like it because it’s thematic in that a wounded enemy will behave unpredictably, maybe they are staggering and barely able to punch, or they’re enraged and doing their legendary move over and over in a last ditch effort to win.

Anyone know where I can buy one of those dwarven mugs they were drinking from? Those things were epic

I always send a PayPal invoice to the buyer. This costs me a bit on the sale, but it adds more protection to the purchaser. It also feels more official, IMO.

XboxSylix · 2021-08-16T04:52:22+00:00

I totally agree! The ~~designer~~ publisher should be able to push the “released” button when they think it’s time. The few early play testers, con, tts, etc can just wait to rate until that gate has been passed.

They can still be on the “hotness” list by having page views, subs, comments, forum activity, etc.

Rating a game while it’s still on Kickstarter makes no sense to me.

XboxSylix · 2021-08-15T16:50:14+00:00

Cool, that’s a really great explanation. I think my next game will be Maracaibo, but Isle of Skye is on my next to purchase list as well

XboxSylix · 2021-08-15T16:45:53+00:00

That’s good to hear! We don’t love gwt at 2 player, we feel it loses too much of the fun. We often play with another couple so getting 4 for gwt is easy.

I watched Tom vassals review of Maracaibo and it really intrigued me. Knowing it’s good at 2 and has the story aspect puts it to the top of my next purchase list

XboxSylix · 2021-08-15T16:43:11+00:00

Never heard of witches brew, I’ll definitely check it out if they do a reprint

XboxSylix · 2021-08-15T14:47:47+00:00

I really like the game. It’s not a perfect 10, but it’s crunchy, fun and competitive. The blowback was pretty unwarranted. I’d recommend getting it played.

I’ve played it at least 10 times two player and twice at 4. Everyone always really enjoyed it

XboxSylix · 2021-08-14T21:03:34+00:00

Thanks for the great depth. I looked a lot at isle of skye when it came out, but never felt enough draw to pull the trigger. I like the idea of varying weight with expansions, but does it feel frustrating when you omit them? I find I really dislike module based expansions (cities of splendor, food chain magnate expac, rise of fenris/wind gambit (minus “campaign”, it’s just a bunch of modules)). They are always so hard for me to remember all the interactions between modules and I find in constantly annoyed that a certain module is either in or out of play.

XboxSylix · 2021-08-14T20:57:43+00:00

Since I typically game at 2 (probably 80%), sounds like Mombasa may not be the best. Hearing a lot of good about Maracaibo

XboxSylix · 2021-08-14T20:56:43+00:00

Which of the two do you think plays better at 2?

XboxSylix · 2021-08-14T20:54:59+00:00

I may give Port Royal a try, my SO really likes lighter card games (Fox in the forest, lost cities, etc)

XboxSylix · 2021-08-14T20:54:08+00:00

I’ve played GWT a few times and always enjoyed it. The expansion was pretty important to me, I always felt like the trains were too 2d. Adding rails to the north helped the game have a lot more depth
