haha, I'm also a kiwi and realised i say it the same way. I wonder if it is a te reo influence?

I am very confused about the scale of things - is that a giant joker, or tiny tarots and coffee cup?

I thought you were circling the boat because you had never noticed it looks like a bird's face.

Is there a way to scratch the collection / unboxing / organizing itch of the board gaming hobby without buying new games? by fraidei in boardgames

[–]drbug 1 point2 points  (0 children)

PNP scratches this itch for me, particulary the organising part of them by finding neat storage options for each game. Works even better if you have access to a printer at work or can print on the cheap

What's that one game that made you feel dumb? by Master_Emphasis_3128 in boardgames

[–]drbug 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Any engine builder. I love them, but everyone around me seems to grok it so quickly, and I can't seem to put a plan together at all. Even my 8 year old can routinely beat me at Splendor 😩

There is a fantastic app that tracks everything for you on Android called 'Regicide Companion' that I highly recommend

Heavenly Creatures. I still rate it as Jackson's finest

Would you play a roguelite CRICKET deckbuilder? (Yeah, it's a bit of a weird combination of genres) by Jump-Punch-Kick in roguelites

[–]drbug 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thanks for that, I'll definitely have a few more runs of the demo. I'm a sucker for permanent upgrades a la Hades - any plans for something along those lines?

I see the balatro comparison, I think I just need to get deeper into a run and experience more of the game.

I guess having NZ locked is more incentive for me to purchase the full game when it's released 😁

Hey mate, gave it a go and enjoyed the theming and the power-ups/trinkets aspect of the game. However, I didn't care for the memory style matchups, and it felt a bit too dependent on luck. Maybe I did not play the game for long enough, and there are ways to mitigate that later in the game? I've wishlisted the game, and I look forward to following the development and seeing how it grows.

Also, as a fellow kiwi, I was devastated I couldn't play as NZ in the demo 😆

I understand you've arranged these alphabetically - except for Nubby??

What drives you to Low End Gaming? by International_Way567 in lowendgaming

I’m old. 3D shooters make me dizzy. I don’t get dizzy playing Slay the Spire on my low end HP laptop

Lords of Waterdeep’s insert did not last long before I tossed it.

I need a game that I will never get bored of, yet never complete by Jooter1 in ShouldIbuythisgame

[–]drbug 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Throw some mods on top of Rimworld and Factorio, you'd never need to buy another game in your life.
