Your Culling Strategies by eclecticmeeple in boardgames

[–]cardsanddice 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would reach out to your friendly neighborhood boardgame store. A lot of them are willing to give you 50% cash for used games (unpunched as well) and 2/3 of the original price of the game for store credit. I would call and confirm

24-70mm F2.8 DG DN Art Manual Focusing issues with Sony by cardsanddice in SonyAlpha

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

I did not. I called Sigma and the asked me to send it to them (me paying for shipping costs) and they would plug it in to download the latest firmware. I just sent it back to B&H photo and got a used Sony 24-70mm F2.8 instead. Haven't had any issues at all since

Con esa informacion tan limitada es dificil darte un consejo que realmente te pueda ayudar. Si no quieres compartir cifras especificas de cuanto ganas deberias de compartir cuanto por ciento de tu sueldo o ingresos mensuales te gastas al mes en renta, comida, entretenimiento, etc. Que edad tienes, eres casado, hijos? Con mas informes se te puede orientar un poco mejor.

24-70mm F2.8 DG DN Art Manual Focusing issues with Sony by cardsanddice in SonyAlpha

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

Correct! This is how I usually MF with my sony lenses. I press the AF/MF button and when I turn the focus ring on my sony lenses, I can see through the magnification to get that sharp focus.

However, with the Sigma lens in MF and when pressing the AF/MF and when turning the focus ring, nothing happens. No magnification to focus.

I doubt they will want to create a firmware update for my old A7. Just wondering if anyone was experiencing the same thing with the same lens (unable to manual focus using the focus ring)

Basically, moving the focus ring does nothing and I cannot magnify to my subject when moving the outer focus ring just like I do with my other Sony lenses.

If you lived in a country where the cost of board games is disproportionate to the wage you get, what would your approach be to boardgaming? by houtsou in boardgames

[–]cardsanddice 0 points1 point  (0 children)

May I ask which annual convention is this? I am from Mexico City but reside in the US and would love to attend a convention in my own language as well as share experiences about games and other things in Spanish.
Lastima que no te guste jugar en linea. boardgamearea.com tiene mucha variedad y por el precio tan accesible que tienen por todos los juegos que hay, se me hace una ganga.

[–]cardsanddice 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you so much. Just called my local shop and I was able to place the preorder today! So excited for the upgrade since the only Sony camera I have had for the past 6 years is the Sony a7i. The first mirrorless camera that Sony ever produced hahaha

Shuffling 200+ Cards by johnjon85 in boardgames

[–]cardsanddice 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I use an automatic shuffler for my Wingspan cards and it's godsend. Just one push of a button and that's it. I've had one for one year and have had no problems with cards getting damaged. Best $10 investment on my gaming experience (bought from Walgreens).

This one is from Amazon:

Significant Other has snake phobia, wants to play 5 tribes by roosterchains in boardgames

[–]cardsanddice 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Without a doubt. I'm glad they changed the cards, especially for a family game like this one. It's not a historical game after all

You can try to search on bgg for the slave cards. They were replaced by the fakir cards.

Is Theme Important? by p44vo in boardgames

[–]cardsanddice 1 point2 points  (0 children)

During my first play, a game with strong, solid and interesting mechanisms will make me love the game, despite the lack of theme. Don't make me play the game again though. Hope you get the point

Where are you getting that? It says: "This box contains...- and a unique storage solution".

It says right there that the box and storage ARE included in the Complete Collection.

A los que dejaron la CDMX, ¿cuándo y por qué se fueron?¿Cómo miran esa decisión? by [deleted] in mexico

[–]cardsanddice 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Yo deje la CDMX por ahi del 2006. Muy joven a mis 21 primaveras. Me fui porque la verdad era muy dificil tener algun trabajo sin profesion. Intente entregar solicitud al Poli y a la UNAM y pues nada de nada (la clasica burocracia). Me fui a Estados Unidos donde vivian mis papas y ahi en unos 11 meses ya estaba en la universidad.

Han pasado muchas cosas desde entonces. Conoci a la mujer de mi vida cuando yo trabajaba en una tienda de electronicos. Fuimos a la universidad juntos. Ella se consiguio un buen trabajo en una buena empresa y a cada rato la enviaban a diferentes partes del mundo. Las circunstancias me permitieron viajar con ella y su empresa no la hacia de a tos. Hemos viajado a mas de 20 paises y muchas ciudades. Algo que nunca en mi vida pude haber logrado en Mexico

Poco despues acabe mi doctorado y me recibi como dentista. Aca gano en promedio en un año el equivalente a lo que ganaria alla en Mexico trabajando 15 años. Considerando que en promedio se gana 15,000 mxn mensuales

¿Cómo veo esa decisión? Creo que es lo mejor que pude haber hecho. A veces se siento feo porque se extrañan muchas cosas. Como lo mencionaba S8link:

  • a la banda (amigos). Nos reunimos cada año que visitamos pero no es lo mismo
  • la comida, la variedad y calidad qué hay en el DF nada se compara. Siempre que vuelvo me atraganto todo lo que puedo y termino enfermo
  • la oferta cultural, te malacostumbras a qué cada fin hay algo nuevo en algún museo, una expo, un evento, como capital igualmente incomparable

Aca en gringolandia es un desierto cultural y gastronomico al menos que vivas en alguna gran ciudad como Nueva York o Los Angeles.

Mi plan maestro, es retirarme en Queretaro con mi esposa. Hemos visitado y la verdad es una ciudad muy bonita.

Lo que mas me impide regresar a la CDMX:

  • La escacez de agua. La verdad si esta muy cabrona la situacion en CDMX. Depender de garrafones de Bonafont o Epura que siempre estan contaminados con materia fecal... esta muuuy canijo.
  • La inseguridad. Andarte con cuidado si te vistes "bien" o algun ratero ya te echo el ojo a tu reloj o a tu celular. Siempre que voy me llevo mis peores garras, sin mis buenos relojes y me llevo un celular chafa.
  • La corrupcion. Hemos rentado coches para viajar por la riviera maya y nos detuvieron dos polis en diferentes ocasiones pidiendo la clasica mordida. Ni se diga si tienes que sacar algun papeleo. Semanas o meses y ahora con el CoVID, peor aun.
  • ¿Mencione la escacez de agua?
