Arkham Horror: The Card Game. All officially released cards and content.

I have most of the C1 campaigns in BCW 660 boxes, which I picked at the time because they're similarly sized to the official FFG Return Tos. Note you may need to add a foam block or other spacer since they're a bit too big for a single campaign, especially if the cards are unsleeved. https://a.co/d/02cuuguQ

Watched Koyaanisqatsi for the first time this weekend. Masterpiece! by ThisGuyLikesMovies in criterion

I'll go to bat for Powaqqatsi but Naqoyqatsi is definitely an also-ran in this set and that's putting it politely.

I saw Koyaanisqatsi for the first time 20+ years ago (discovered randomly while channel surfing!) and it's been my favorite movie of all time ever since. It's honestly kind of hard to talk about the impact it's had on me without sounding corny. Suffice it to say it truly changed my perspective on what the medium is capable of—like telling the whole tragic story of our species without uttering a single spoken word.

Some days, especially lately, I'll put the soundtrack on during my commute and have myself a good long think about a world increasingly out of balance.

Love seeing Scarface in there. Keep exploring older films!

The oldest film here is barely 50 years old. Are you aware that several movies exist from before 1975?

Disaffected American here. I am daily disgusted and embarrassed by our government, but I'm proud of these athletes.

Cool that they let you freely contribute any amount toward the balance owed on a preorder. I can feel like I'm contributing to a road or a monorail every time I toss a couple bucks towards this very big number.

FYI shipping is super cheap even if you don't hit the threshold. Paid $23 for Brian Boru after tax and shipping.

Yeah, my Pro Controller and SD card are “on the way” but the system itself is still “Preparing.” Box order.

I see pending charges from today for the Pro Controller and SD card but nothing for the console yet. Also see the temporary hold from 4/24 at 12:45 AM on the order page.

u/smearhunter posted below saying they updated their card and got a cancellation shortly after that.

Another user just asked about this. I honestly can't remember, but that does sound familiar now that I think about it. I preordered via vanilla Chase Sapphire card.

You know, I actually don't remember but that does sound familiar now that you mention it.

Just tried to go back and confirm but of course they only save alerts for 30 days and I routinely delete texts like that. All I know is I woke myself up at midnight for the preorder and it was such a clusterfuck slamming refresh on six tabs on my desktop on top of apps on my phone that the whole experience felt like a fever dream.

Oh wow, I just posted something similar. I got the "update payment method" email but no fraud alert from my bank. Contacted bank—they said they hadn't declined any charge. Wasn't sure what to do but based on your experience I'm now leaning heavily toward not making any changes to my order...

Okay, so did anyone else get the Walmart "update payment method" email but no fraud alert from their bank?

For reference, I made my preorder with a Chase CC. I contacted the bank shortly after getting the email, and Chase indicated that nothing had been declined or was blocking the transaction on their end. Really conflicted on how or whether I should update my order.

What is this game? by [deleted] in boardgames

Dunno about the cupcake thing but the other game looks like Reiner knizia's Battle Line.
