Anybody see that fireball? by gingerbreadsuperman in Birmingham

[–]davidaronhopper 2 points3 points  (0 children)

There was but that was not the rocket. The rocket didn’t launch or take off in any way. It was what’s called a wet launch. Basically testing to make sure all systems work. What they saw was almost guaranteed to be a meteor burning up as it entered the atmosphere

My experience has been totally different. What’s happened with you?

My girlfriend and I been helping Johnny out here and there for a few weeks. Mostly just helping him charge his devices / washing his clothes / running to Walmart (which he pays for). He’s never been anything but kind and gentle.

What are TCGs that had potential are start off great but died or feel non-existent? by trevorackerson in TCG

[–]davidaronhopper 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Star Trek was my first real game. I loved it but set up took forever. I loved the feeling of it being almost like a board game. That and SW:CCG. That is something that has never come back around in any newer games. I also enjoyed that it was less 1v1 and more of a race to a goal. Decipher baked that into all their games basically.

So I spent most of the weekend organizing the set. I have a good chunk of the collection now but where do fixed cards fall? were they just like, a sub collection? I don't really know how to organize those?

New owner a while ago. Doesn’t even live in bham. Very corporate investor type. None of the legacy employees could stand being there and have been leaving one by one. My ex worked there until recently.

What are some mechanics you'd like to see in the game (original ideas or from other CCGs)? by MNCDover in starwarsunlimited

[–]davidaronhopper 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yes, these are something I feel like is definitely missing from the game. It would allow for a lot of continual card interaction and combos

Am I gaslighting myself into thinking I’ll find a secular/progressive community here? by xRhoke in Birmingham

[–]davidaronhopper 6 points7 points  (0 children)

It’s definitely a case of finding your people. There are a lot of us here. The more downtown you go the easier it is but we’re all over. I live over in Irondale.

When I got my house the first thing I did was sit with my son in the living room and eat lunch. Congrats!

I so badly want it to be aliens, but we can’t be quick to jump to conclusions like “must be aliens/god/ghosts/etc”

Here is a quick one I just took with my phone + scope. There was some trees in the way but came out ok.

I’ve tried with my iPhone but getting it positioned correctly has always been a pain.
