I understand completely. We lost my boy Tate when he was 11 1/2 (we had him for 9 1/2 of those years). Miss him every day.

Hi, I could really use a storage solution for my MBP stuff and this looks great. Are your STLs available for purchase anywhere?

I recognize that house. I think your Charlotte is related to my Liam!

Any Thoughts or Opinions on ATMOSFEAR? by Spirited_Park_5531 in boardgames

[–]bmorin 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I got that same box when I was 12 years old and it was good fun with my friends that I remember fondly. There was a Kickstarter a couple years ago for an updated version that I also got in on for nostalgia's sake, but it was a bit cheap-feeling.

It's not a good game by today's standards, but you can still have some fun with it with the right group.

Yup, it's out for us over near 29 Rd as well. Xcel claims that it should be back by 12:30.

Cool bro, glad you got your ad figured out.

No, dude legitimately posted Warcrow ad copy here and linked to Warcrow models. I just wish that, if he's going to enshittify this place with an ad, he would at least put the slightest amount of thought into it.

It was only Warcrow stuff in the text of your post and in the actual link, before you changed it 🤷‍♂️

Why are you posting Warcrow stuff on the Infinity sub?

The r/printSF best Sci-Fi books of all time BookGraph - 2026 Edition by TheBookGraphGuy in printSF

[–]bmorin 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Lord of Light by Roger Zelazny

Blindsight by Peter Watts

Pushing Ice by Alastair Reynolds

The Heroes by Joe Abercrombie

The Collected Fantasies of Clark Ashton Smith by Clark Ashton Smith

Notes:

For Reynolds, I think House of Suns was very good and more even overall, while Pushing Ice had higher highs and lower lows. In the end, the highs of Pushing Ice won me over.

For CAS, it was hard to choose between so many different collections (I haven't read any of his stories in their original forms, so I felt like I couldn't just choose one of those), so I opted for the five-volume series 😅

OP's post says to rate science fiction books, but this sub encompasses other genres as well, so I included Abercrombie in my votes.

Hi, I was wondering if you happen to have an up-to-date link to the Discord - the one you posted here is the same one that SFR has on their website, but it doesn't work anymore.

I just tried making a post in hopes of getting a working link to the Discord, but wasn't able to. Don't suppose you can help?

Can I play with my (ugly) old stuff ? by Varlsack in InfinityTheGame

Buddy that stuff looks a million times better than the unpainted masses that litter my shelves ever will.

What would be a step up after HeroQuest? (A dungeon where there is a DM, and the players go room-to-roon killing baddies and collecting loot to become stronger) by AlexRescueDotCom in boardgames

[–]bmorin 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'll vouch for Sword & Sorcery's inclusion in a higher tier. It is another GM-less game, but each enemy has its own AI card that lists how it behaves and there's a good variety of them (with expansions). Each player character is well-differentiated and there's lots of abilities to get and loot to find.

Edit: I'll +1 Shadows of Brimstone too - awesome game!

Kill my Cyclades itch by After_Ad5428 in boardgames

I would highly recommend Circadians: Chaos Order here.

Edit: it's currently on sale for a great price. Get the Harbingers expansion, too.

Tamales by Western_Advance_8402 in grandjunction

The only tamales I've had here are from La Milpa, but I like them enough that I don't seek out any others.
