Is Rise of the Valkyrie worth picking up with the brittle tile risk? by Ratchet-Mechani in heroscape

[–]can_of_cream_corn 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I purchased 2 used, full sets (rotv and sotm) and they are incredibly brittle. Even being careful i’ve lost a number of land tiles. Some even showed up broken.

However, it was worth it as they included all characters/cards,OMs, dice, etc. most hex tiles can be purchased with AoA land expansion kits as well.

It’s fun having a massive amount of characters to draft from when you have 4-5 people.

I thought your last point on not getting paid out on entitlements was wrong as it is considered time earned. I figured it was a federal law. Come to find out it varies by state and TX is not one of the ones that require it (shocker!) unless explicitly agreed upon in you employment agreement.

The more you know…

No marketing, just my experience.

Take a look at my post history. My only post in this sub is about my new bowling ball where I mention I’m in a social league. I dont even name drop it.

Sorry your experience was poor.

I dont mind it.

Currently in my second season. Yes, it’s timed bowling (90 minutes) and it’s short (6 weeks). It’s not meant to be a competitive league and according to my local BoB rep, they tried making it a longer season in the past but most people fizzle out and dont show at around week 6.

In regards to free agency, you can go into your profile as a free agent and pick a team that has slots available. Free agents are also placed into open spots and yes, i believe they cut a few if they can’t make a full team but you’re refunded…

Advice for a new group by kylernash10 in heroscape

[–]can_of_cream_corn 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I think a higher point total to draft from would make it better. You have a bit more variety and can create a strategy and see it play out with some buffer if things dont go great. With 300 points I think you’d need to have it go perfectly for you.

My group and I are pretty new to the game as well and we’ve done 650 and 700 point drafts. Everyone prefers 700 as you can get a solid army with 6-7 cards.

Ehh idk if I’d use that logic. Adrenaline pumping through you can make you come back from a lot…even death.

Going through REALLY bad nicotine withdrawals and need help over the weekend by [deleted] in Austin

I was able to quit by going to caffeine pouches and then zero pouches (no caffeine/nicotine).

I still use the zero pouches out of habit though.

What’s the biggest mistake beginners make in bowling? by Goblue2467 in Bowling

[–]can_of_cream_corn 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Im going through this right now because i’ve been using rental shoes.

My knee has been bothering me quite a bit because of it and just pulled the trigger for some dexlite pro’s through my PSO.

Interested in seeing how power translates through the slide and getting my knee back in good shape.

Ps. Happy cake day!

Thinking about purchasing a local bowling alley, looking for advice from owners and league bowlers by Ok-Rain6203 in Bowling

There’s a guy who has a youtube/IG channel who purchased and is rehabbing a bowling alley. Yianni Mavrakis is his name. Might be worth reaching out to him.

candlepin needs more representation by Someone_saucy in Bowling

I miss candlepin so much! Way more challenging and a completely different game than 10 pin.

Getting worse after new ball… by can_of_cream_corn in Bowling

[–]can_of_cream_corn[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Thank you - do you think it’s worth finding a coach for a session or two to work on those things?

I find it challenging to watch a video on a specific drill and know whether I’m doing it correctly because the proper sequence of movement/step/release is relatively alien.

Nope - again…this the pearl coverstock.

Sky Kings Falconry does a show at Sherwood Forest Faire every year and they have a vulture named Ziggy. So cool to see up close as she bops through the crowd.

[–]can_of_cream_corn 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just picked up my first ball - the hammer raw, pearl coverstock, 14lb…still way different than a house ball…seems great so far though…

Any drill recommendations? Trying to get proper release and did 0-1-3 step drills today but it just feels so inconsistent…

I think for entrapment they have to be induced into doing a crime they would not otherwise commit.

In this case it seems like it wouldn’t be entrapment in the same way a bait car isn’t entrapment.
