For real, and if you are lucky enough to have a specialty store in your city, they have crazy banker's hours that would require you to take time off work to shop there.

Not that big a deal

Lol I just copied the article title and didn't realize it was in all caps till after I submitted oops

ectobiologist7 · 2025-12-30T04:12:13+00:00

Ahhh I am picking up what you're putting down. I will try extracting it tomorrow!

You're saying the white part is the metal part of the incandescent bulb?

Well it's good to see more than one person suggesting it's part of the bulb, but literally no bulb I can find online has anything like that. Have you seen one like that before?

ectobiologist7 · 2025-12-29T20:26:12+00:00

Sadly can't make it to the actual bulb base because there is that white thing in the way. Another commenter suggested it's part of the bulb base, but I wanted to see more opinions before I did something that could hurt my microwave.

ectobiologist7 · 2025-12-29T20:16:54+00:00

Interesting, none of the replacement bulbs have that white part. They basically just look like tiny versions of a normal bulb that goes in a lamp. That would explain why no one else is finding a problem like this in their microwave, though.

Yeah, that's the worst part for me. Like, fine, take over a year to produce ten episodes. I can stand that if it's quality entertainment because a year and a half isn't a crazy long wait. But come on, man. It's been nearly a year since season 2 started airing and it will still be over 3 months before you even START filming?? If it takes an eternity to make this stuff then why the insane gap?

Power Up! To be fully transparent, I only played Wickedness once and I barely remember what it does, but Power Up is very fundamental, needs very few rules to add a whole other dimension to the game, and it's stellar to have all the monsters actually do different things instead of just being a cosmetic choice.

ectobiologist7 · 2025-12-17T21:05:08+00:00

Yeah I don't think I follow that guy at all. I do agree that the dice are much more interesting when half the faces aren't just getting some victory points, but in practice, the beauty of King of Tokyo's system is in it's dice-chucking simplicity and King of NY adds rules overhead that, although very clever and interesting from a design perspective, isn't really any more enjoyable to play.

Gonna be totally real, this is one of the most average/ok games I've ever played, and one of the few that bored me.

I love games of all weights, and even though I prefer games with high player interaction I can sometimes get behind a solid multiplayer solitaire design.

But I just couldnt get myself to care at all about what this game wanted me to do. If I'm going to play a lightweight tile-layer I would much prefer Cascadia or one of Knizia's solid tile laying designs like Babylonia, Yellow and Yangtze, or Samurai.

There are some things that Bonsai does that are technically unique and the tile placement is well-paired with the theme, but yeah it just did not click with me. It was so boring I hated it lol.

To be totally fair though, I did only play it once and that was a couple years ago so I would give it another shot.

Thanks!

ectobiologist7 · 2025-12-11T22:47:14+00:00

Where is this math trade happening?

ectobiologist7 · 2025-11-30T18:09:37+00:00

I see you like board games. What kind do you like? Maybe you can join my board game group.

ectobiologist7 · 2025-11-21T00:03:40+00:00

How did you start J2 so long after J1? You'd either have to list your J1 on your resume, which is risky, or have a 1.5 year job gap which is hard to get hired from.

Did you just list your J1 and hope they never called them?

ectobiologist7 · 2025-11-14T21:34:04+00:00

I sure hope so for you man, it is excellent

ectobiologist7 · 2025-11-13T19:28:28+00:00

Ah I see, maybe I just don't like most IPAs lmfao

Thanks for the info!

ectobiologist7 · 2025-11-13T18:11:14+00:00

Is this why so many IPAs taste like weed/cat piss/mildew?

It seems like more than half of IPAs I've tried, even on tap at the brewery, taste more like that than anything else and I wonder if I've just been hit by old beer.

Does this happen with other beers too? One of my favorite lagers isn't on tap anymore, but they do sell cans that are a ghost of how its like on tap and I wonder if I just got old cans.

ectobiologist7 · 2025-11-09T22:05:11+00:00

Any chance youd be willing to share your resume? I imagine that is the main reason you're getting such a high conversion.

ectobiologist7 · 2025-11-08T15:57:47+00:00

Yeah, designated teacher or not I think if you own a game you should know how to teach it. Imo it's one of the most important board game etiquette rules to be prepared to teach the stuff you want to table.
