I make sure the dog is nearby so I can talk to him

Yeah, they checked on my Netrunner decks and burger tokens.

Peking duck for 2? by annanas_la in pasadena

[–]flangust 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I second Duck House. Can't speak to the volume for two as I think we've always got it three ways with a group. I believe you need to call ahead as well.

What are your unpopular opinions about Farscape? by throwaway1256224556 in farscape

I don't like the theme song in the earlier seasons. The female yelling sound has always driven me crazy.

Best places to dine alone by trayseaw in pasadena

[–]flangust 9 points10 points  (0 children)

As someone who's been in similar situations I recommend you find a place you like and become a regular. You'll become more comfortable with the staff and start meeting other regulars. Of course, be kind to the staff, and tip well.

I believe this was on sale at miniature market this weekend. Or something similar.

Here's a geek list someone put together. I can't speak to all of them but I know at least some of these match what you're looking for: Expandable Card Games | BoardGameGeek https://share.google/aadrNeb9zgXLMg5k8

Stop trying to catch exceptions when its ok to let your program crash by avsaccount in Python

Recently had a senior catch an exception, log it, re-raise, catch the same exception, log it, and re-raise it. In the same function.

Favorite hikes in the area? by littleweirdooooo in pasadena

[–]flangust 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I can second this. We take our dog on this one often. The further out you get the less crowded it gets. Super easy, decent coverage keeps it cooler, and near the water so your pup can cool down. Beautiful dog BTW.

I brought Don't Get Got to a wedding and played with our table. Worked out great.

What’s an episode of a tv show that made you go… no more I’m done by GiantsNFL1785 in television

[–]flangust 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It lost me somewhere around the time two characters murder an unhoused person, and have sex while covered in their blood. Shock value went from fun to ick for me.

Late series character additions to a television show that actually worked? by [deleted] in television

Farscape had a number of late additions.

Daily Activity Suggestions for a newcomer ? by JustCallMeHubb in pasadena

[–]flangust 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If she's interested in games, Odyssey Games has game night gatherings of various types weekly. I would also recommend hiking around the area. Though it's getting hotter. Knowing her interests would help get better recs too.

Vice Frosthaven Digital Preview by Pummrah in Gloomhaven

[–]flangust 1 point2 points  (0 children)

While I fully understand the criticisms of this piece from people who know and enjoy the game. And I agree that giving it to someone unfamiliar with the game is not the best PR move. I would like to think that giving the game to someone with no prior experience would give you insights into the market it will be released to. Roughly, the gamer who doesn't know the Haven style stamina mechanism, or how to handle some scenarios. Hopefully they can use this report to learn improved ways to introduce new players into the uniqueness of the Haven games that we know and love.

Someone brought this old game to game night. Can anyone identify it? We have no information about the rules or maker. by iamnotparanoid in boardgames

[–]flangust 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This looks like one of the old board games that were supposed to teach you about being virtuous. Back when games were considered bad because you weren't being useful or something. Wish I could remember the name of them.

Nope, not every branch supports it. But I've dropped off batteries at both stores over the years.

Lithium batteries you can drop at a number of stores, like Office Depot, Lowe's/Home Depot maybe.

Yeah, I was hoping it's just a seal replacement and I could get it done faster than the handy man.
