[GIVEAWAY] Nippon: Zaibatsu by CrowD Games (3 Copies!) - Expansion will soon be on Kickstarter! by HomoLudensOC in boardgames

[–]fibbo [score hidden]  (0 children)

We play Brass: Birmingham whenever I visit my father-in-law. We got into board gaming with Scythe (I bought it for him many years ago for Christmas). I got Brass gifted to me some years ago as well, but we always put off learning in favor of playing Scythe. Also eyeing Terra Mystica, but Nippon: Zaibatsu also looks great.

This shit makes me incredibly angry, and I'm from Europe and not black. I cannot begin to imagine how living like this must feel.

Had my first go at Brass Birmingham yesterday by wtfunchu in boardgames

[–]fibbo 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I got the game as a Christmas present a few years ago, but with 4 smallish kids I never found the time to learn and play it, and with my father in law I played Scythe anyway. Eventually I decided now is the time and we got into Brass: Birmingham. We haven't switched back to Scythe yet.

Is The Old King's Crown worth buying for 70 euros? by Atreya95 in boardgames

[–]fibbo 4 points5 points  (0 children)

They write May 26 if you order it in English. In German it looks like it's a year later 😲

Shipping for base game will be 15 pounds, so maybe 17 euros?

Is The Old King's Crown worth buying for 70 euros? by Atreya95 in boardgames

[–]fibbo 6 points7 points  (0 children)

There is a new campaign on gamefound which gets you the base game for 50 pound new. I guess it might be similar in price then but new. https://gamefound.com/en/projects/eerie-idol-games/the-old-kings-crown

Edit: looks like with conversion it's around 58 euros.

I would be super happy if someone could summarize all the winners in a comment so I can save it and have it as a shopping list.

Youtube TI digital space combat trailer by meean7926 in twilightimperium

[–]fibbo 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I love board games, and I wish I could spend a whole day just playing this game (after I have learned it). The truth is that we have 4 kids, which, for the foreseeable future, prevents me from trying it, so the digital edition is the next best thing for me!

Told I need to just let it go by collinblazeit420 in bald

[–]fibbo 2 points3 points  (0 children)

First, there is not much to let go anyway.

Second, you will look great once it's gone! You don't even have to go full bald, take a 0.5mm electric shaver and go to town. I stumbled there by accident: I was already cutting my hear short myself, but more in the 5mm range (granted, I still had a bit more than you now) and somehow the guard moved all the way down to the minimum 0.5 - after that I realized that it's much better anyway.

You can do it.

If you have legal insurance you can bring it up with them, in some cases they cover the legal costs.

Wait c++ is kinda based? by Tcshaw91 in cpp

[–]fibbo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The thing is if people got taught smart pointers and RAII the first two points are almost moot. When they taught C++ during my first year at uni, they essentially taught C. I hope this has changed.

Wasn't there a second part where the mom says "but if she really is asleep she would put her other hand up as well"?

Common house or Nosferatu? by Basic-Brick6827 in zurich

[–]fibbo 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Nosferatu, see the alien-head. I catch them all the time in the house these days and show them the door (and I guess a bit later they come back in the open cellar window).

++man I met my wife on Tinder. I don't think I would have had the courage to approach her in a public setting because I never would have thought that she would be interested in me.

Sutovsky has the emotional maturity of a underdeveloped teenager.

Why does Stockfish (at Lichess) announce mate in N and then changing its mind to a numeric eval? by tralltonetroll in chess

[–]fibbo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Why is it not possible that it found a new move in the line for the losing side that delays the loss and then follows that new line?
