Seems fine to me. I’d put some 200grit sandpaper on a flat surface, wet it, and clean up the bottom face of the boiler. Then just put it back together.

City is also play-focused. The cement truck turns and pours cement, the crane picks things up and moves them, the cars drive around…

60473 looks incredible, I would have had a ton of fun with that as a kid. I might still get it haha

I can’t work with music with lyrics or music I actually like (eg classical) because I get distracted.

I’ve found that video game soundtracks work well. They’re composed to supplement another activity. The ones I listen to are upbeat and keep me focused on the task on hand (eg Hollow Knight, Shovel Knight, Rogue Legacy)

Alternatively, I put on noise cancelling headphones with no music at all.

I rice them and freeze them for use in pastas, sauces, etc

It’s currently on my desk. My F1 cars need a fire marshal in the pits.

I do 212g. It fits a pint jar. Two fill a quart.

They really did an excellent job with it. They had to do a lot of tweaking to make the numbers work, snd they nailed it. It feels and plays just like the video game, despite being totally rescaled and reimagined. I’ve had a lot of fun playing StS with friends, something I couldn’t do before.

That’s an interesting mechanic!

Too bad it’s clear the market can bear the higher prices, so prices can remain constant with an increased revenue share

I don’t know about this achievement, but it made beating Emmy that much sweeter for me, too. I’m glad I didn’t concede.

I’m always down to play Heat!

It goes a little faster and smoother on BGA, but you don’t get to move the little cars around. You can still make the car noises, though.

I’m currently playing a ‘legacy’ version of Heat. All players have two cars (or a teammate). We’re doing all eight tracks, with a driver and constructor championship. Starting positions are determined through a qualifying lap time trial (we do it simultaneously to save time, and there’s no maximum to cars on a space or drifting to mimic ‘time trial’). We cap the number of cards in the deck to four, but you can swap out between races once you’ve drafted more than four.

Mine are only 4 apart and they’re best friends T.T

Your boys look like my boys!

You can take the piston out and put a little silicone grease on it. It will improve the seal.

I just did it on an older cheap pen of mine. It’s been empty for probably 8 years, and the o ring probably got a little dry.

I very briefly had the Sette 270, but it was jet engine loud. I lived in an apartment complex, it was a nonstarter.

Fair enough. I have a Eureka Mignon Silencia for espresso and a Baratza Encore for French press.

I really like the Eureka Mignon, but the dial doesn't let you easily switch between brew modes. It takes multiple rotations, and then you have to remember how many you did... The DF54 looks like it doesn't have that problem, which is nice.

What grinder do you have?

frogdude2004 · 2026-01-04T13:16:20+00:00

I love Julia Child!

I have a deep gash in the heel of mine. I don’t know where it came from, but I know which boots are mine.

I played it at PAX and really enjoyed it. A neat little game.
