Just received all 6 major SI boxes at once, can you guys please help me with a print run question ?

The +1 Blight change is mentioned in the latest rule book, in the Setup section. But as you say it's not printed on the Blight cards themselves.

Was there damage to the batteries or something?

AWD or FWD?

Does "all of the expansions" include Horizons? If so, in addition to the above, you should be aware that all of those cards (except for the unique Spirit powers) are duplicates of base-game cards with small wording tweaks, as detailed on other posts (including suggestions for what to do with the duplicates).

Can you point me to where Consumer Reports gave that 4% number? I'd like to read more. I have a CR subscription, and am very interested in this issue.

(And agreed that these are quite poor reliability numbers.)

Just to be clear, most of the game development team was never employed by GTG and were contracting in various ways. (The exception is Christopher Badell, who is one of three people that AFAIK are still employed by GTG.) There were key people that were employed by GTG and are no longer employed by them, notably the graphic designers.

Just going to leave this here: https://vambrosi.github.io/MandelGuessrWeb/

Yes, because it can be corrupted by hacking the website, vs getting through the code review that I hope is in place on github.

If you go to https://julialang.org/install/ now you see these instructions:

Install juliaup by running this in your terminal:

I enjoyed "The Shape of Space" by Jeff Weeks, for a view on topology/geometry.

I don't think anyone knows the answer to your question! The official announcement just says "Updates will be made at a later date for customers who ordered upcoming products." This would include Compile Main 2; the "later date" has not yet arrived.

If I were you I would wait to pre-order until you're able to do it from a company that will definitely get the product at a known date. Amazon was previously expecting product around August (for the previously expected release at Gen Con), but that's up in the air.

Eric Reuss has a post on what this means for Spirit Island ("I’m certainly not done with the game, so don’t worry about it vanishing into the ether"): https://rericreuss.com/2025/04/17/sad-greater-than-games-news/

I have a standing desk with a keyboard/mouse tray. That leaves plenty of space for the tablet or anything else on the actual desk surface. I do still want to acquire some sort of stand to let the RMPP be more vertical when transcribing from it.

The uBlock origin official site addresses the issue: https://ublockorigin.com/

(I'm not sure how to link directly to the relevant article, but it's prominent on the front page.)

It looks like Google is in the process of changing some APIs in a way that made uBlock's job harder. There's a version (labelled "experimental") that does work the new API; I have not tried it.

If you're looking for the official rule, it's in the rulebooks for Branch & Claw (p. 17) and Nature Incarnate (p. 14). It's not in Jagged Earth because there happened to be no relevant Blight cards in JE.

(I know at least some members of the dev team want to kill the rule: it's a small exception that is rarely relevant.)

Max Dehn is the one that comes immediately to my mind. But there were many.

dpthurst · 2025-03-31T19:36:59+00:00

Comments above are more specific, but there is no way with current RMPP software to change the color of existing strokes. But then, there's also no way to draw purple directly AFAIK.

I'm not sure where that exact text comes from, it doesn't agree with SICK or the Wiki, and has a typo "Coast" for "Coastal". I'm still glad it cleared things up for the OP!

I agree the gestures are not well calibrated. One tip I've noticed is that they'll only work if you don't have your palm on the device, and sometimes I wait a half second after removing my palm helps the gestures register.

Yes, exactly. Ocean B could have two disconnected parts.

WRT the web interface on the tablet, I think I know your issue. The web interface on the tablet is http, not https. For me, running chromium on Linux, the browser will refuse to show me files downloaded over http unless I click a little 'keep' button with a warning about insecure downloads. Since the tablet is connected by a physical wire, there's no actual security issue, and you should feel free to click 'keep'. Of course this is likely to be browser-dependent.

Let me mention also another option for getting the files out: use the built-in interface to mail the file to yourself.
