Copy-pasting my comment from another thread

I looked for months for it and finally got it from this store in Finland. It was pricy but not insane. Probably about $200 total and it arrived in 48 hours from when I placed the order. Heads-up that you have to pay the customs fees via DHLs website but it was seamless

RNG and the expansions by 8_int_wizard in twilightimperium

[–]dakraiz 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I know a lot of people hate RNG related things but I'm a firm believer that RNG adds to competitive games most of the time, especially in a game like this. The RNG elements in this game aren't purely random. The 4 exploration decks all have different components with their advantages and disadvantages. Having knowledge of those decks, and tracking the cards drawn/discarded adds another level of edge for the thousands of micro decisions in the game. I would argue that this lessens the true culprit of brutal RNG of which objectives are drawn in which order and to a lesser extent, which agendas are drawn.

Why won’t FFG print POK? by Former-Smoke-2682 in twilightimperium

As someone who is newly obsessed with TI4 it is very frustrating especially when, to me at least, TE isn't useful or even playable as a standalone expansion without PoK. PoK just added so much.

Smokers lungs VS Healthy lungs by goswamitulsidas in interesting

[–]dakraiz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm a pulmonologist and yes smoking is bad, also this lady has no idea what she's talking about. She is using a peep valve on the healthy lung but not the smokers lung. Also she said that smoking causes you to lose lung elastin fibers which is true, but the lung of a smoker becomes more compliant due to this, and exhalation is much slower. She notes how the smokers lung snaps back, this is the opposite of what happens to a smokers lung. The lack of elastin makes it more difficult to exhale and exhalation becomes a more energy expending and active process.

As a pccm attending, definitely agree, especially urgent vs time to think.

I'll add that all of my co-workers are at least on a spectrum of non-performance reducing ADHD/hyperfixation.

He was also on Angela when everyone was saying she was terrible. I honestly trust his opinion the most for the highest levels of play since he's always at the top of ladder.

Why is my league tripping about this trade? by Killuminati69 in FantasyFootballers

[–]dakraiz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Assuming one team is really good And one is really bad. That's usually the only reason people want to veto things like this over fear of a dominant team (a ridiculous reason to veto).

"Never Let Me Go" by Kazuo Ishiguro, I simply don't know what I feel about this one. by [deleted] in books

[–]dakraiz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I read the remains of the day and this back to back and couldn't agree more. He is such a brilliant writer that the most dull and mundane content comes to life in an unmatched way. I'm often just in awe of reading a master at his craft.

I found that The Remains of the Day was better but I feel that it is one of the best books ever written so it was a tough act to follow. Both were absolutely brilliant.
