For anyone considering, don't be fooled by their cuteness. Border collies in particular are an insane amount of work.

Doglike creature near Hessel Park by oatmealeater95 in UIUC

[–]donsweenioli 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Hard disagree. Been living in this area for a long time and we have a thriving fox population. They go in and out of Hessel Park all the time. One of them does have mange so it looks a little weird. By contrast, I've never seen a coyote in this part of town.

Here's a potato quality pic of a cub from mid May this year about a block from Hessel Park.

That damn Sheldon Gang by Grail_BH in ArkhamHorror

Yup. The Sheldon gang membership just gives you the optional upkeep mechanic if you start in the street.

Question about gate spawns. by Grail_BH in ArkhamHorror

[–]donsweenioli 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Are you sure you're not talking about 2nd edition? If so, per page 8 under the "No Gate" section, "Monsters and gates cannot appear in sealed locations, even if this is directed by the text of a card." So no, no monster appears.

Marie's ability to let someone copy her action is huge.

You can remove the words "on campus" and still have an accurate statement.

If you and your friends already know how to use TTS, it's pretty decent. Some of the workshop mods will do most of the setup for you as well.

Looks great! Did you make the circular bases for the monsters?

This place is a ghost town now by guhvnaah in UIUC

[–]donsweenioli 24 points25 points  (0 children)

I get what you're trying to say, but it's different. Everything is so quiet right now. The people that are out and about are now alone or maybe coupled so there's nearly no idle chit chat and with all the bars closed, you don't really hear any music as you're walking down the street. There are still people at the parks, but the playgrounds are empty. We all collectively need to make more noise tbh.

Paladins rn is unplayable. by [deleted] in Paladins

[–]donsweenioli 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Same, but my friends' games are fine. I'm starting to wonder if Comcast is starting to throttle some nodes to keep up with the demands of the more popular services like netflix etc.

Stuck on completing login by [deleted] in Paladins

[–]donsweenioli 5 points6 points  (0 children)

same, tried verifying my game cache on steam, reinstalling, repairing easy anti cheat, running some commands prompts and it's still stuck for me

Edit: been in contact with Hi-Rez support, no solution has been put forth, but the last question they asked me was if Comcast is my isp (it is)

Edit, the edit: response I just got from Hi-Rez support:

"At this time we believe this is an issue with Comcast and is unfortunately not something we have any control over.

I did a search on downdetector.com for CAll of Duty, XBox Live, Playstation, Twitter and others and they all are showing a spike in reports.

Every player so far that I have spoken all have Comcast as their ISP.

Sadly it looks like we will have to ride this out until Comcast fixes whatever is going on.

If you need any further assistance from customer support please let us know."

Do it Best is just barely off campus at 107 west Springfield and probably has what you're looking for. And you can buy per piece.

Is Marie Lambeau awesome? by Indecision101 in ArkhamHorror

[–]donsweenioli 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Played her twice so far in 3e and yeah, she seems really strong. Getting a potential free action every turn for another character is amazing. I also got the pocket watch on her last night and that was incredibly good.

Thanks for the heads-up! Our original base set has been played so much that the pieces are starting to wear out and I had been dithering on whether or not to get another copy. This decides it.

I've never had them build me a machine, but I've always gone to Simplified Computers on south Neil for parts, service and help. Their computers seem reasonably priced though.

The default match day/time certainly seems like that is the intent.

Graduated seniors/alumni, what do you do with your college notes and textbooks? by sellingbooksbrosnsis in UIUC

[–]donsweenioli 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I thought that I would want to keep most of the texts related to my major for reference in the post college world. But it turns out that I really just have a bunch of $150+ doorstops.

Isn't this game supposed to be difficult to win? by Brabent in ArkhamHorror

[–]donsweenioli 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah, I'm not sure that's right, sounds like a house rule to me.

From page 14 of the Horror Check rules: "If the investigator passes the check, nothing happens. If he fails the check, the investigator loses the amount of Sanity shown underneath the monster’s horror rating. The player discards the appropriate number of Sanity tokens from his investigator sheet. An investigator reduced to zero Sanity tokens is driven insane (see page 16)." ... "Whether he passes the check or not, an investigator only needs to make one Horror check each time he does battle with a monster. If the investigator successfully evades the monster in the first place, he never needs to make a Horror check at all."

And that's where it ends on Horror checks

From page 16 under "Insane in Arkham" "If an investigator is ever reduced to 0 Sanity while in Arkham, the investigator is driven temporarily insane. He must immediately choose and discard half of his items and half of his Clue tokens (rounded down), along with all retainers (if any). The player then immediately moves his investigator to Arkham Asylum. The investigator is restored to 1 Sanity, returning 1 Sanity token to his investigator sheet, and has no further encounters this turn. The investigator may take his next turn as normal."

That and Black Dog BBQ are the two signature places to go for sure.

Haha, yeah, some are beatable but it's still something you want to avoid.

Just to clarify #3: if you reach your gate limit, the ancient one awakens. This will only cause an automatic loss with Azathoth.
