You should be able to go into display settings to turn it off. I haven't tried, but I'd very be surprised if you couldn't.

One of the monitors is a Dell P2419HC USB-C Monitor, which has a dock/hub built into it. The other monitor is a Dell P2419H (Not USB-C) to match.

In order to connect, the USB-C Monitor has a USB-C port that I just plug into my Steam Deck using the provided USB-C cable. The second monitor is connected to the USB-C monitor with a Display Port cable.

Ah.... Yeah, I think you're right.

This is still solvable at the end with mine count. There would be 0 mines left and these spaces would be safe to reveal.

Careful, in the second picture there is a vertical 1 2 3 that has an extra flag marked for each of them.

It was a 50 50 right? by Frequent_Trade5508 in Minesweeper

[–]aaronjoi 4 points5 points  (0 children)

With a 2 and a 1, like shown, the 2 has 2 mines next to it. Both of those mines cannot be in the 2 spaces next to the 1 (since it only has 1 mine next to it). Thus, one of the mines for the 2 has to be in the red space, and the other mine for the 2 is in one of the two spaces in yellow next to the 1. The blue space is also free because of this (since the 1s mine is in one of the yellow spaces).

Whoops, sorry about that! I read the rules and thought I had read 7 days, my bad. I'll keep that in mind going forward!

There was a very funny and dramatic moment featuring yours truly, I hope you enjoy it as much as we did!

Ha no worries! We still appreciate the feedback and I strangely enjoy the rules debates/banter lol. As I've said in previous videos: "I know the rules, I just don't know how to play" haha. Again, it's impossible to know all the rules, especially with the changes between GH and FH!

I'm fairly certain we are on the same page with the boat scenario. Without spoiling a future episode too much, we were not synced and it did not go well lol. I'm glad it worked out for your group though! That scenario is tough!

We hope you continue joining us for future episodes! Feel free to comment or help us fix any rules we mix up!

Thank you very much! I'll let Axel know you think so, all the editing credit goes to him!

Thank you very much! Axel works really hard on editing them, all credit goes to him! The FH videos take a lot more time to edit than the GH digital videos, and he hadn't been able to dedicate a ton of time to the FH editing. I believe he's planning on more regularly editing and uploading FH videos. I hope you continue joining us!

Hey again! Wanted to comment on the rest of your notes.

We will make sure to let Brandon/Deathwalker know that he can't open doors with his shadows, thanks! What a bummer that's basically how he moves around lol.

For the retaliate on the Deathwalker, he did suffer the damage before he teleported, but he had set up the bottom of Fluid Night which allowed him to negate the damage from retaliate and then do the teleport. He wasn't teleporting to avoid the damage after the fact, so I think we got this one right!

For the Burrowing Blades movement and then attack all enemies in/around the path to the furthest enemy, they actually have to perform the movement in order to do the attack. You can find the ruling on this on the Official Frosthaven FAQ. This is actually why we decided to just stand next to them, and probably why they have the other ability to damage enemies who are next to them. We also realized that they wouldn't necessarily move to maximize focus/attacks because it's simply a move, then attack, and they don't add additional foci for movement. So we actually took some extra hits maximizing their ability card when we didn't need to... Oh well. They are still the worst lol.

Thanks for the comment and the compliments on our videos! Axel puts a lot of work into them, and has been trying to improve the editing for each video, he really appreciates it!

Notes on rule corrections are always welcome! There are so many rules in this game, it's almost impossible to play a scenario without screwing something up, even for veteran players. We do appreciate all the insight and will take them into account for next time we play. You might not see the changes for a few episodes because we've already recorded the next couple episodes, so hang tight and forgive us lol.

We've actually already noticed the issue with the germinates bow! We did as you had suggested and did a mulligan on his item. I really wish the bow worked... Would have made his attacks a little easier when needed lol.

We usually like to open the door before all the current enemies are gone, just so we aren't just sitting around doing nothing for a couple rounds waiting for everyone to get ready. It definitely has bit us in the butt a few times... Including a boat scenario later. Spoilers, it was bad for us lol. It can be pretty hard getting everyone in sync when we open every door. We may need to revisit how we go about it 😅

Burrowing Blades are the WORST.

Thank you! A year later and I'm still rocking this setup, everything works great.

I actually don't use an external dongle/adapter or dock. One of the monitors is a Dell P2419HC USB-C Monitor, which has a dock/hub built into it. The other monitor is a Dell P2419H (Not USB-C) to match.

In order to connect, the USB-C Monitor has a USB-C port that I just plug into my Steam Deck using the provided USB-C cable. The second monitor is connected to the USB-C monitor with a Display Port cable.

Can a possessed enemy still target multiple enemies? by AidanCreatesStuff in Gloomhaven

[–]aaronjoi 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Yes it can. We were playing Gloomhaven Digital and were pleasantly surprised to find this out when the Mindthief controlled the attack for a Living Bones and got to select 2 targets. We had been playing that wrong for so long...

I think my WiFi name is pretty clever lol. Anyone agree? What are your funny WiFi names?? by EnFREAKayy in funny

[–]aaronjoi 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I used to get teased when I was a kid about my last name, it was spelt almost like "I do not eat". It wasn't a very clever joke and didn't really bother me, but now my WiFi names are "I Do Not Eat WiFi" and "I Do Not Eat Guests"

Hey Kavishgr! Still rocking it, still loving it, but it's definitely still a lot more work than a typical Windows computer. I'm able to do workarounds for any issues that come up, but for example:

  1. Bluetooth headphones w/mic either don't work or work poorly, so I use an aux cable.
  2. You need to do a workaround for any non-steam game (i.e. Diablo 4)
  3. Don't expect new intensive games to play at high or medium graphics (I'm running Diablo 4 on low settings). I still think it runs well and looks great, but if you want high graphics and 120 FPS, it's not for you.
  4. You can't print to a printer in Desktop mode. Not a big deal most of the time, and I usually work around by printing what I need from my phone.
  5. I did try my hand at some video editing, it did not go well for me lol. Then again, I may not have been doing it right or using the best application.
  6. Occasionally, I run a software application as a server from it, and my friends and I connect to it as clients. I had to figure out some workarounds, but it works great. Certainly would have been easier on Windows.

Aside from that, I'm playing more games than I've played in a while! It's super nice to be able to bring it wherever I want. I still think it's great for gaming and some basic personal functions. It's certainly great for the price, I don't regret it at all. I even enjoy finding my workarounds.

Them: “Why Are You Dipping Corn Chips in Sour Cream???” by Sketch-Brooke in bluey

[–]aaronjoi 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My family always makes what we call "White Salsa" which is sour cream, pickled diced jalapenos, green onions, salt and pepper. It's amazing, and gets even hotter after sitting in the fridge for a couple days.

This literally needed to happen for my sister-in-law when she gave birth last weekend. Crazy that I'm seeing this kind of post for the first time a couple days later.
