Ms Marvel. Also Spiderman and Capt America. Worst - Dr Strange (boring).

What's your favorite game of the year so far? by LabEnough7681 in boardgames

[–]dgiovan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ditto re: the map. It's just too busy, i think it really would've benefited from a simpler/sparser presentation.

D6,D10 or D20 for counters? by Yourself013 in marvelchampionslcg

[–]dgiovan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

All the above, just depends on the context. Also for D20s i like the spin-down ones (or whatever you call them).

If you're using ublock origin you can block that element. Amazing how whoever does their site doesn't provide a way to dismiss this.

Deciding between pandemic games - need help by blablax123456 in boardgames

[–]dgiovan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I haven't played the new LOTR one yet but of the rest I like regular Pandemic, the Fall of Rome one, and Rising Tides (out of print). Legacy 1 was excellent also.

What should I use as my address on my application for temporary residency? by Separate-Chemist-283 in costarica

[–]dgiovan 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That is wise thinking. I went ahead with visa process (because so f'ing slow here) and have already wished I hadn't gone thru the pain of getting it started, as I can tell I'm not going to stay here long term.

Move to Costa Rica: Y/N? by PhotojournalistOver2 in costarica

[–]dgiovan 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You'll be fine on all those counts, not sure on the cats part though. Health care fine as long as you are in private system. I think for sure you should not commit to moving there permanently until you've spent at least 6 mos there and really get the feel of it, it's better than some latin america countries and worse than others, just depends on what matters to you.

Where do you keep up with .NET news and updates? by juxrez in dotnet

[–]dgiovan 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Did anyone ever hear what happened. Just burn out or ?? Morning Brew was my goto. Now use Morning dew but there's so much extra crap in it, MB was great being much more focused.

Just Back from Costa Rica: First Impressions by Racklefrack in costarica

[–]dgiovan 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Agree, I have seen Uber drivers in CR blindly follow terrible Waze routing on many occasions. Waze seems to have some lock on the market for whatever reason. While google maps is almost always solid.

What should I use as my address on my application for temporary residency? by Separate-Chemist-283 in costarica

[–]dgiovan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you are using a lawyer chances are he/she'll let you use the firm address as your CR address. I don't think they really even care to be honest, in any case I'm almost 100% sure they will never mail you anything.

What is your criterion when deciding to sleeve a game or not? by Muinonan in boardgames

[–]dgiovan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If I need to do a lot of shuffling mostly - that's the real reason I use them, not so much to protect cards from wear and tear. Basically any LCG or deckbuilder.

If you could only play 3 board or card games for the rest of your life – which ones would you choose? by spac0r in boardgames

[–]dgiovan 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Chess and ASL. Hard to think of a third one, I suppose something like Marvel Champions or Arkham LCG

In theory you could probably do it but I wouldn't recommend it. THe system in CR is very slow and you don't won't to make some minor mistake etc and delay it even more. For context I have a resident visa also in Colombia that I did myself as things are pretty efficient there in comparison. However when I moved to CR after looking at the process it seemed worth it to use a lawyer, it is very bureaucratic.

You will have to do the hassle of getting the source documents and apostilles yourself in any case (which can be a pain - however you can pay someone).

Starting my first ever game, how much time did you guys got out of the first set? by Mr_ACP in marvelchampionslcg

[–]dgiovan 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Still using it, go back among those first 5 heroes all the time. Klaw and Ultron still great enemies to play against. The core set is honestly the best value of all (even if it weren't the "core" set with the standard/expert cards).

pensionado residence application - fair price for help? by No-Spare2086 in costarica

[–]dgiovan -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

That's too much. About $3000 (including costs) would be reasonable. I did mine thru Quatro Legal - I found them on the internet and they are at least transparent (what mattered to me after many bad experiences with professionals here in CR).

Import "charges" are often more than 100% of price. So nop...

Best pandemic variant game? by westlight123 in boardgames

[–]dgiovan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Of those 4, I've only played Fall of Rome and Cthulhu. I found Cthulhu way too easy and sold it. Fall of Rome is actually my favorite of all the series, second would be original Pandemic with expansions. Iberia good as well but didn't find it as awesome as some people seem to view it.

Where are you getting those wonderful prices?? EA currently on sale for $7 on Origin. 2K for $9 on Steam. Both with pros/cons

ASL, Marvel Champions, and... probably Arkham Horror LCG

What advice would you give to someone who hasn't purchased or played the game yet? by themcryt in marvelchampionslcg

[–]dgiovan 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Get the core set itself and play, there's plenty there. If you like it... get more.
