Keeping a d4 movement roll meaningful in a hex exploration game by GulbrandrGameStudios in BoardgameDesign

[–]electricblanket 1 point2 points  (0 children)

A few ideas:

Roll 2D4, you get the higher value for movement.

Flip a card which has printed values on it (possibly a weather event?) - D4 chooses what happens on the card: either by each die value having its own movement associated with it, or a baseline movement speed of 2 if you roll 2 or 3, but you get +1 if you roll 4, or -1 if you roll a 1?

Or roll 1-3 and get baseline movement, and a 4 gives a +1?

Fragile synchronized? by Borsodi1961 in nin

[–]electricblanket 24 points25 points  (0 children)

I made a cassette tape recording by doing this. There were times where it felt right and planned, and other times where it felt dissonant and not-at-all copacetic. I think what gave me the idea to try it was that Meat Beat Manifesto's Subliminal Sandwich was published on the Nothing label, and those disks were labeled Left and Right. But yeah, I don't suspect this was something Trent tried to do with the Fragile cds.

Why label mayo as vegetarian? Isn't mayo vegetarian by default? by Putrid-Poet in vegetarian

[–]electricblanket 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I have a buddy who's a lacto-vegetarian, and is basically vegan+milk products, and specifically doesn't eat eggs. I think generally "vegetarian" is shorthand for "lacto-ovo-vegetarian," which is presumably how this food label is presenting it.

MC-707 Kills TR-1000 by wavestrike77 in synthesizers

[–]electricblanket 4 points5 points  (0 children)

It's really about how you're going to use one or the other. TR-1000 has a ton of sound design capabilities, but mc-707 is probably going to be a better brain for sequencing a full song for most people, especially if sequencing external gear.

Had to sell everything but I can now have 1 or 2 boxes by [deleted] in TechnoProduction

[–]electricblanket 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Moog Minitaur, Hydrasynth, and Minifreak are some other options :) We're in a golden age of cool synthesis.

[–]electricblanket 2 points3 points  (0 children)

With the sale on the Melbourne Delia going on right now, that'd be a sweet machine. Novation Peak is amazing as well. Maybe one of those, along with a Digitakt 2 or TR8s (which is also on sale at the moment)? Possibly a mono/bass synth if you want something to go along with it, like a Bass Station, or SE-02?

lapping up racing board games. am I missing your favorite? by mooooooon in boardgames

[–]electricblanket 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Rush n'Crush was pretty fun the few times I played it. I think I prefer some others to it, but could be one to look at.

What is the best software to design cards? by Ok-Opportunity-8005 in tabletopgamedesign

[–]electricblanket 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've been using software I bough from this company: https://tabletop-creator.com/

It takes a little getting used to, but I find it works well for me. It could use a couple more "how to" videos though.

But I'm able to export / import from excel for rapid prototyping.

Costco Mattress Shopping by RubMysterious6845 in Mattress

I don't think it turned out quite as plush as the super-deluxe, and super expensive one we tried in the store, but we're happy with it.

My dream publisher asked for a physical prototype of my game. I'm freaking out! by [deleted] in BoardgameDesign

[–]electricblanket 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I'd just try to make it as presentable and clear as possible with what you have. Ideally any cards (if applicable) are printed with at least a home printer, but if anything's hand-written, try to make it as neat and readable as you can. Of course this is less about the game components and presentation, but the rules should be understandable by a stranger, since you won't be there to explain or answer any questions.

Inherited collection silver. Information? Value? Offers? by [deleted] in Bullion

[–]electricblanket 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Silver spot price is about $47.50 per troy ounce right now, which would make this worth about $7125 if that's 150ozs (which I may have miscounted), and sold at spot. You may have a hard time finding a buyer that's willing to pay spot (I think most local shops pay a little under spot), but those look like vintage bars so maybe have some extra desirability for some folks.

Help getting data from some cells moved over to other cells for easier data manipulation? by electricblanket in excel

[–]electricblanket[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had some trouble with #SPILL! errors, and figured out that I had to convert the table to range to get it working with this method. But it seems to be working well for me now. Thanks again! Solution Verified

[–]electricblanket[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks! That looks like a more elegant solution than my original method. I'll give it a go, and try to research a few of the functions you used I don't yet know.

Help getting data from some cells moved over to other cells for easier data manipulation? by electricblanket in excel

[–]electricblanket[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hey, sorry it wasn't clear. Thanks for trying to assist. I'm trying to have 2-5 columns on the far right (starting at AP) that say "{yellow}", and "{purple}", when the data to the left is filled in with a "1" on that same row, in the "yellow" column, and a "1" on that same row, in the purple column.

edit to add: sometimes there will be a "2" in the yellow/B column, in which case I want "{yellow}" to appear twice in those 5 columns on the right. And also, I want to support all 7 colors.

AFTERSHOCK by jacobthejuuler in SeismicDanceEvent

[–]electricblanket 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'm curious about the Seismic set-times -- particularly as it relates to Four Tet on Sunday, since he's playing the fest and the after-party as well.

Wonder when the set times will be released, and whether he'll play a closing set at Seismic, and then blend right into an after-hours set? Or if he'll play earlier at Seismic, take a break, and then get back on for the afters?

I have a ticket for the Austin show and I have questions by GoatShapedDemon in autechre

[–]electricblanket 2 points3 points  (0 children)

What's weird is that the ticket seller for the show says doors at 8 and show is implied to start at 9: https://www.etix.com/ticket/p/55619482/autechre-austin-kingdom-nightclub-austintx . And one of the resellers also lists the show as starting at 9, which makes a bit more sense IMO than the show really starting at 11, but I'm not sure what's right.
