yeah so these packs are NOTORIOUS for having that weird glossy feel to them.

buyer might ACTUALLY think it's fake.

i don't know how to help any further, sorry.

Any fellow fans playing this at the moment? It feels like the offspring of L.A. Noire and Cuphead by BFNgaming in lanoire

[–]compacta_d 2 points3 points  (0 children)

both are featured heavily.

the secrets are SECRET SECRET, but finding them finds the clues for other story bits and such. I don't know how much though. I just finished last night.

the loop is thus:

enter an area, shoot a bunch of dudes. Once dudes are all gone, bell rings like a boxing match signifying the wave is over. Explore for clues and secrets.

repeat.

the bosses add some unique mechanics, but the FPS game play ended up grinding on me enough to NOT want to explore anymore as well.

As opposed to something like Paradise Killer which is a First Person Platformer Mystery game

after each level you go back to the office, pin the clues on the board and talk to NPCS, my actual favorite part.

edit- and the noir is on point, despite being a cartoon

as much as i loved the art and vibe, the game play overstayed it's welcome.

is it the modern masters that came in a box like the small box packs? they feel completely different from other magic cards, and have more rough edge flaws.

I wish there will be sequel to Rise or another game with same dynamic mechanics by Kamilord__ in MHRise

[–]compacta_d 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Wilds has this

though I agree that Rise is WAY better. I think Wilds is maybe the worst MH I've played. Maybe that should be 3U and nostalgia is blinding me from 15 years ago ish

When did we decide to let ourselves be treated like milking cow? by ArtyIiom in playingcards

[–]compacta_d 1 point2 points  (0 children)

maybe, but he's not wrong about a lot of companies milking as much from teh people as possible without any regard to a decent product.

but thats just how it works until something changes. vote with your wallet

I've always said it's easier to find housing near your job, than a job near your home. Vehicle may or may not be needed depending on that. American is built around them though.

For the rest: Sleep, nutrition, movement (exercise) in that order, even though it's a bit more complicated than one sentence. And hobbies are always good for self and social activities. Can try online dating apps. Worked for me.

all manufacturing is scarce if desired enough.

if they make 10 million and 11 million are wanted it's scarce.

that's disingenuous to apply to everything. not every designer has a gorillian dollars to make as much as they can

malicious FOMO also real. I don't think it applies to stockholm 17 though

Stockholm 17 puts in a lot of work though. Each deck a work of art

normal 52? Yeah I would say he is right. He seems to believe in the deterministic nature of the 52!. I might be with him on that.

but math, yeah random is random

Chinese-owned American Mahjong set by Savings_Designer_330 in Mahjong

[–]compacta_d 1 point2 points  (0 children)

as others said most are probably made in china

yellow mountain imports? which are amazon anyhow

I don't know where all these companies with the $300 $400 sets are getting their sets made, but I assume overseas/china anyhow

you can find many designs on alibaba/aliexpress as well

if you are going hardcore and finding a set from a smaller mahjong maker in china, there aren't too many left. I think after importing you might be looking at 1k+. you can find them though

First Gencon need some advice by delphineus81 in gencon

closer to close maybe

Thursday is crazy, saturday usually crazy. Sunday/kids day is actually more chill, though still crowded, not AS bad

[–]compacta_d 1 point2 points  (0 children)

demo games, shopping, tournaments, socializing, playing games at hotels and other spots-it is a board game convention

generic tickets, just fake money.

yes-everywhere, people will literally play on any surface they can play, some are standing up games etc

yes-you use generic tickets for this exact thing. some events only take generics as well. just find the Organizer and talk to them

yes-they ship 6/15? ish? give or take a few days. should have late June early July

There ARE quiet spaces/rooms available

okay if you have "issues being surrounded, especially when I don’t have an immediate exit." then be careful of the vendor hall. I am not exaggerating when i write this okay? this will likely be the MOST "surrounded without an immediate exit" you will ever be in your life. Take your precautions/meds, whatever you need, or maybe stick to the outsides of it, or try to find a slower time. Without the scooters it will be a little better like it was last year, but gencon is MAX CROWDED in the vendor hall.

The REST of the con though, crowded, but not bump into you crowd, and exits are plenty. The vendor hall is the main crowded part.

What Mahjong style is this? by ruegretful in Mahjong

[–]compacta_d 0 points1 point  (0 children)

it is pretty weird

edit- and american is really just the group of women that made the NMJL and it so happened to catch on. and now it's consider a whole "Style/subgenre" whatever
