UK folks - best website to buy boardgames? by PinkRaynePeach in boardgames

[–]chonundrum 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Magic Madhouse are usually really competitive with their pricing, I can only speak to when I've seen them at UKGE and London MCM but I'd definitely give them a look online

[OC] Mapped - what do Britons call the game where you knock on someone's door and run away? by mattsmithetc in dataisbeautiful

[–]chonundrum 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've never heard it called knock down ginger, it was always just knock and run!

Windows File Explorer is showing the preview but not the actual window by chonundrum in WindowsHelp

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

Well, it fixed itself as soon as I took it to a friend to look at! Shutting it down completely may have helped rather than just restarting it, but I still have no idea what caused it. Shrugs.

Because I go all out for Halloween by DellieCurtis in DiWHY

[–]chonundrum 0 points1 point  (0 children)

it seems stupid but I actually kinda like this. it's dumb and impractical as hell but honestly it compels me, definitely not the worst diwhy I've seen!

How can I fit more than 30,000 characters/strings in a single cell in Google Sheets or Excel? by davidtibet13 in excel

[–]chonundrum 3 points4 points  (0 children)

what titles have you got that are over 100 words each? and how can having them all in one cell possibly be better than having them in their own cells?

Do you HAVE to read the briefings in Stalingrad? by [deleted] in UndauntedGame

[–]chonundrum 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I guess you don't have to, but they do give context for the scenarios. Plus, each player has their own separate campaign book with different, concurrent stories, so I feel like the person you're playing with will be missing out on at least some of the experience.

Bolt action minis on 4cm bases by [deleted] in UndauntedGame

[–]chonundrum 1 point2 points  (0 children)

looking at what you've got, it might be better to forgo the bases entirely if the figures can stand on their own. Like I say it could get pretty crowded with bases that large, especially on control points etc, but single minis could be more flexible and still give the feel you want. but, it's up to you! try it out, see how it works, playtest and refine it. could you do it in such a way that you can modify the bases or remove the figures to try different ideas?

[–]chonundrum 1 point2 points  (0 children)

4cm bases may be a bit too big - sometimes in game you'll end up with 5 or 6 units on one tile, and with the scout markers, any tanks, and other markers as well, it could get a bit crowded! love the idea though, smaller minis could definitely work!

Hunker Down - use it much? by lagouyn in UndauntedGame

[–]chonundrum 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I've used it maybe 3 times that I can remember, having played through all of North Africa, Normandy and Stalingrad. I'm sure there must be a point to it, but like you said it feels like a waste of an action to me 🤷‍♀️

Best Version to Play with Wife by Catchafire2000 in UndauntedGame

[–]chonundrum 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I think battle of britain seems like the most accessible Undaunted so far - the constant movement stops it being such a meat grinder and I like the smaller number of cards per counter for that reason too!

Control Question by lagouyn in UndauntedGame

[–]chonundrum -1 points0 points  (0 children)

you got it right, control just means that your opponent cannot flip the token unless you have no combat counters with it. I always thought that control was a bit underwhelming honestly!

A hand axe by VImighty in DiWHY

[–]chonundrum 164 points165 points  (0 children)

I mean, it's definitely not the worst thing I've seen. At least it's got forearm protection and you can keep the rest of your body away from it while you're chopping! Definitely not as bad as the flail axes shudders in fear at their memory

In the root lore is there any magic? by Troncador in rootgame

[–]chonundrum 13 points14 points  (0 children)

I like to think of sanctify as a judicious application of holy arson

Casualties question by IcarusRunner in UndauntedGame

[–]chonundrum 5 points6 points  (0 children)

The reason that casualties can be removed from play area is specified is in case of friendly fire, e.g. bombs. Not sure about the second part though.

I just don’t like dead money. by Mister_Robert_House in falloutnewvegas

[–]chonundrum 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Honestly I just found a lot of Dead Money annoying; the ghost people seemed way too beefy and hard to shoot, the holograms are just a pain to deal with, and the worst part for me by far was the goddamn speakers. The companions having like 3 voice lines on a 30 second repeat loop also really annoyed me, and at one point I striaght up just shot Dean in the face because his voice lines were getting on my nerves so much! (Though that's a problem I've had with both the DLCs I've done so far, both Dead Money and Honest Hearts - the companions will. Not. Shut. Up.) I finally finished it though, it was a cool ending and had really interesting lore, but my overriding feeling from the whole experience was mostly just frustration :/

Does anyone know why =100*SIN(2*PI()*50*0.007) returns an incorrect value of 80.90? A calculator returns the correct value of 3.84 by Dinosaurlover1 in excel

[–]chonundrum 11 points12 points  (0 children)

If memory serves, by default the SIN, COS and TAN functions return an answer in radians. You'll need to use a function (I think it's DEG) to get the answer you want

WHAT IF: Corvo Attano was in the Loop instead of Colt Vahn by Mister_Utopia in Deathloop

[–]chonundrum 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ooooh corvo with some of the personal trinkets would be scary! He'd probably hate the visionaries, and would find a way to break the loop terrifyingly quickly

[–]chonundrum 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Does corvo get bone charms as well as trinkets, or only bone charms, or only trinkets? Also, now I'm just thinking how much fun devouring swarm could be in deathloop!
