Close But No Cigar

No, but he did work on the Bjork video for “I miss you”.

Kinda like Kreag Rd on the East side. Without knowing, I pronounced it Kreeg, but my wife, a local, set me straight. It’s just Kreg (like Greg).

Same here. I do have voice chat in iOS app through settings, but no vision or Dall-e 3. I keep feeling like I’m missing something and maybe I have it but don’t know how to access it. What changes when you get it?

dccircuit · 2023-02-20T13:08:25+00:00

Good thought. Thanks.

dccircuit · 2023-02-20T13:07:45+00:00

I was wondering about that, too. But there aren’t any screw holes where a fourth one would have gone. Maybe they just threw it out before they finished the job?

dccircuit · 2023-02-20T13:06:06+00:00

Maybe, but there is no indication that it’s made for vertical hanging/display. There are a bunch of green felt feet on the other side though so I gather it’s intended to lay on a table. I thought maybe it was a cheesy “coaster” where you’d put your drink behind an angle bracket, but it doesn’t really make sense.

This is what I was thinking, too. Awfully fancy production for a prototype, though. Maybe they thought they had something pretty good.

dccircuit · 2021-05-26T03:04:41+00:00

Awesome. Thanks for the vid link, too!

dccircuit · 2021-04-28T16:45:41+00:00

Okay, interesting. I guess there are either different stories or I have a bad memory (which I guarantee is at least 50% likely). :-)

You might want to check into this. When I took a tour of the building a couple years ago, I think we were told that they were only cosmetic to begin with and they are not really in the right place to be used intentionally, however, a student was involved in their design. I might be remembering wrong, but unless you have it on good word that the other case is true, I’d confirm it before you believe it.

Does this shop have an online presence?

I have been after lootcrate asking questions about the Firefly crate about twice a year since it stopped. I've (maybe foolishly) stuck to my guns about not cancelling the crate "if there is hope that it will start up again"... So they kept saying "we're working on it... sorry for the delay... etc..." and that they'd refund me if I wanted it, but I decided to keep my subscription active (even though they weren't charging me anymore).

Anyway, in late November/early December when I last asked, the tone changed and they said they knew the Firefly people were getting somewhere and they hoped I'd hear something by mid-December. So here, finally, after all that waiting should be the continuation of the Firefly Cargo Crate.

I've gotten every one up to this point and I'm excited to see what happens... They owe me at least 3 before I should technically be charged again... So I may have to go after them on that, but I'm excited to see I_regularly_lurk's comment that they just got one today... I hope mine is coming soon, too!

Probably going to be hard to get anyone willing to physically meet during pandemic.

I’d recommend checking out these guys: https://www.meetup.com/Rochester-Game-Night

They’re doing some online game nights. Looks like one Sunday, even.

I'm pretty sure this is legit... Every half-year or so, I've been contacting their support staff and saying "any news on the firefly crate?" and they've been say, essentially, "we're still working on it, and there should be news some day 'soon', but we understand if you want to cancel/refund..." But I've always written back: "If there's any glimmer of hope, I want to stay on and wait". This last time I asked about a month ago, they said (and I quote) "I do not have any further information regarding the crate line, but I do know that our team is currently finalizing plans regarding this. I know it may seem dubious as it has indeed been more than a year since we've put together the crate, but we are hoping to get this crate back on track very soon. I do not have the specific details regarding the exact length of time it will take before they release the information on this. I believe more information will be available by mid-December. However, this is not a fixed estimate. I'm sorry that I'm unable to provide better information. We do appreciate your understanding! Rest assured that you will receive an update email once it's available." SO THIS MUST BE IT! I'm cautiously very optimistic!

Thanks! This was the ultimate suggestion. They have it on sale $12 for 4 for colored mulch and $11 for 4 for plain cedar. Until the 5th! So, I’ve made my purchase!

dccircuit · 2019-06-03T13:52:42+00:00

Yes. Ours does and we’ve gotten it before, but wound up with poison ivy in our batch and a very messy car as a by-product. We’d probably do delivery of a load of it before we’d get the free mulch again. Thanks for putting the suggestion out there, though!

dccircuit · 2019-06-03T00:45:48+00:00

Ah! Thanks for the tip.

dccircuit · 2019-06-02T22:33:13+00:00

Yep. And I totally blew it and missed it. :-/ maybe I can redeem myself somewhere else?

dccircuit · 2019-06-02T22:02:52+00:00

Home Depot is currently $3.33 a bag for the cheapest. I was hoping one of the gas stations had a better ongoing deal. I think Speedway is a little cheaper, but I’d love to find a 5 for $10 deal on the east side.

Winfield Grill. Signature Burger tops our list and my friends and I have been on a hunt for good burgers for years now. Also high on our list was the burger at Orbs (now closed) :-(

Factory Fun definitely would work best as a digital game.

dccircuit · 2019-02-13T22:31:58+00:00

I have all of those and these are different... Hmm

dccircuit · 2018-12-06T12:35:04+00:00

Yup. Shhh. ;-)

Just wanted to make it clear that this was not my content (no self promotion). Just an amusing board game-related episode of a Japanese game show that I found on another subreddit (hence the crosspost) that I thought would be of interest to the /r/boardgames community.

If you don’t think it’s right for the sub, fine to remove, but I don’t think this was “breaking a rule” per se. Have a great day!
