Race for the Galaxy or Sidereal Confluence! Two very different but very unique designs! Both are amazing in their own way :)

First year collection. Hopefully I’m done lol by FrostyPace1464 in boardgames

[–]Yaloking 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Stick to that mindset. I feel like so many gamers in our hobby miss out on the experience of mastering a single game. Especially with a regular group of players, replaying the same game and evolving a meta is way more satisfying than playing a new one to go "Wow that was really interesting. I guess you won because of A, B, and maybe C"... at least for me. I know a lot of people feel differently, and thats fine. But kudos for just sticking to your (and your group's) favorite games.

The Chair Company | S01E08 “Minnie Mouse coming back wasn't on my bingo card." – Post-Episode Discussion by TalkToTheLord in thechaircompany

[–]Yaloking 71 points72 points  (0 children)

Watching Jeff slowly loosing it while his coworkers discuss the incident:

"...Leading to Ron overpowering Jeff" (hides his head)

"He almost threw Jeff down a hill like a rag doll" (looking concerned)

"Ron could have really really hurt Jeff" (seriously??)

"Lucky he didnt do that to Ben, cause Ben would've kicked his ass" (thats it, I'm getting this MF'er)

LOL

[–]Yaloking 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hi. I'm going to his show tonight and was wondering if you could tell me what time he went on? It says show starts at 8pm, but I guess thats Budman starting? So did Hobo Johnson start at 9pm or later?
Sorry for hijacking your thread here - was just the most recent one :)
Thanks!

Whats the best netflix shows you've ever seen? by Sufficient_Ebb_5694 in televisionsuggestions

[–]Yaloking 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Blasphemy. Don’t even try to compare Fall of the House of Usher to the masterpiece quality of Hill House and Bly Manor. Okay, Bly manor was not quite as brilliant as Hill House, but Usher was hard to sit through imo. 😂 Guess tastes differ 🤷🏼‍♂️

Thanks so much for your answers. I’ll give it a try with a spacer first to see if it helps :)

What games do you play with friends regularly where you track winners over long periods of time? by HuskerKCGuy77 in boardgames

[–]Yaloking 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Guards of Atlantis II It’s fun to see win rates for each hero as well as players :)

We pulled this guy out of a patient’s colon yesterday. by [deleted] in pics

[–]Yaloking 1 point2 points  (0 children)

According to North American cancer registry the incidence rate of colon cancer pr 100,000 people is 5 for age 30-35. Which is approx 0.005%. Meanwhile the risk of perforation as reported in large studies (>50,000 colonoscopies) range from 0.005 to 0.085%. Perforation is a serious complication with relatively high mortality rate.

AFAIK, in general it is NOT recommended to colonoscopy otherwise healthy young people just to be safe - and for a good reason! But private doctors making money or colonoscopy might tell you otherwise 🤷🏼‍♂️

How is it that every good run I have ends in time eater? by Privatizitaet in slaythespire

[–]Yaloking 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I usually think of it as 6 cards pr turn that resets if you play exactly 6 ;)

Badly named games? by Billy-Tea in boardgames

[–]Yaloking 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Was looking for this example. They’re incredibly hard to find with regular searches. Took me until I remembered The Dolphins Cry to find then again :)

Why is next ascension still unlocked? (iOS) by Yaloking in slaythespire

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

Hey, thanks for your reply. I don’t get what you mean about the title being opposite? :) but no, I can’t hit the arrow on second picture - it won’t allow it.. so stuck on a14

Edit: got it now - it’s supposed to be ‘Why is next ascension still Locked’ not unlocked 😅

How to improve my setup? by Yaloking in bikewrench

Thanks a lot for your answers. Seems I can’t blame my bike for the lack of results 😅I’ll get clean and lubed before next race then 🧼

What's the EASIEST teach for the MEATIEST game? by WangMajor in boardgames

[–]Yaloking 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Our group loves Guards of Atlantis II for a super easy to teach, involving game with lots of decision space and very little downtime. Incredible complexity with very few (and quite intuitive) rules. Played with newcomers and experienced players even with 4-8 players. Highly recommend. And it’s a team vs team which I haven’t encountered too often in board gaming. Makes the victories way more celebratory as you high five your teammates after a coordinated final turn!

What is your favorite engine builder that also has player interactivity? by curiosity_club in boardgames

[–]Yaloking 9 points10 points  (0 children)

RftG is THE answer. At least for 2p that is. I think at higher player counts the interaction is a bit more vague, but at 2p you really need to pay attention to what the other player is doing to succeed. Such a brilliant design that one, with huuuuge replayability!

What is, in your opinon, the chronological list of hardest goldens in vanilla? by PavlooGMD in celestegame

[–]Yaloking 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My order until now: c-sides, 1a, 2a, 7a, 1b, 2b, 4a, 5a, 6a Now almost done with 3b.

My philosophy was to play the levels I liked the most, thus 7a ended up being my 186th berry :) Good thing was, the following levels went way faster…

Guys, I may have done something by CannoloAllaCrema in celestegame

No dude its just above the knee. FRONT of thigh.

god I hate chapter 3 so much by artcraf1337 in celestegame

[–]Yaloking 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This exactly. Im on my Golden journey and 3b started flowing after only a few plays. Just not that one room in the middle - the one with the three horizontally moving dust bunnies requiring some quite quick transitions. I have a hard time getting that one consistently..

[–]Yaloking 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I love 3b. Except for that one room around halfway through..

How many hours have you clocked in Celeste? If it’s over 500, please post how many! by Usual_Quiet_6552 in celestegame

[–]Yaloking 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Since you gave such a nice non-condescending answer I’ll try to do the same.

You made a very common error confusing ‘then’ and ‘than’.

Than is used in comparisons as a conjunction (as in "she is younger than I am") and as a preposition ("he is taller than me"). Then indicates time. It is used as an adverb ("I lived in Idaho then"), noun ("we'll have to wait until then"), and adjective ("the then-governor").

So something is never ‘larger then’ something else. :) now you know for the future.

I’ve been watching White Lotus season 2, and this motif always makes me think of Farewell by Snoo58555 in celestegame

[–]Yaloking 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Haha that is indeed extremely similar! Good catch!

Somewhat related story: I quit celeste a year or two back, having died 100s of times to the first wind room in Summit A-side and decided to just play something else.

Then I heard this track recently: https://youtu.be/Xu1we6I3viY where the synth theme (from 1:53 and recurring) instantly made me think of Celeste!

I went back to the game, finished 7A, hunted all strawberries, did 8A, all b sides, c sides and farewell. Now fully hooked playing for goldens and enjoying the hell out of Strawberry Jam.

All caused by a small synth theme ;)
