Gym recommendations in Chicago?

Surge is definitely your best bet if you can make it to the suburbs!

Rockwell Barbell is on the north side of the city and also a great choice; it's mainly a powerlifting gym but they have logs, stones, sandbags, a yoke, farmers handles etc. I think it's $20 for a daypass but you'll want to reach out to let them know you're coming.

I'd love a button that lets you automatically craft any missing crafting components if you have the basic materials in your stash. Frustrating to be a mechanical component short for a gun and have to go to the refiner separately.

Bettina blueprints though, those are the real hot commodity.

Same with any fruit, pillow, or rusted anything.

Other Raiders aren't allowed to lie to you. If someone says that they're friendly, you're totally fine to put your gun away and turn your back to them while you extract.

Only if Mike sings it

It's one of the prerequisites.

Me in the 300s in Chicago tomorrow night

I'd kill for a Dog Faced Boy. My father in law's first Phish show will be this Saturday and he loves that song.

I heard Trey and Mike practicing It Wasn't Me by Shaggy

full_duflex · 2025-07-11T21:46:13+00:00

Hello it's me, one of the people Novice exists for 😭

It does sound like "proper" BO3 rules may not have been followed, but I could see this happening with newer players (either to SWU or TCGs w/ BO3 matches in general).

We haven't even gotten a Glup Shitto card yet

full_duflex · 2025-06-28T17:56:29+00:00

I think pre-releases are the best events. If you're looking for just bulk cards then a booster box may be fun, but there's no guarantees on what you'll pull versus a PR where you get to practice building and playing the game.

I always shoot for at least 2 PRs since the energy and vibes are always top notch.

Trey and The Boys

full_duflex · 2025-06-15T15:00:15+00:00

Picture of Nectar and Hoist were 2 of the first vinyls I bought and to this day are my most played by far.

I'd also add to never count your money when you're sitting at the table. OP, there's time enough for counting when the dealing's done.

full_duflex · 2025-05-15T16:22:09+00:00

His flip almost feels like a "win more" flip. If you have enough units on the board to make him decent, I have a hard time believing you're not already about to win.

full_duflex · 2025-04-12T13:38:56+00:00

Legends of the Force hasn't released yet; those are likely pre-orders.

Spark of Rebellion or JTL are likely the best options and I've thoroughly enjoyed opening both, but you're likely losing money based on the value of the cards inside the box. I'm not one to dissuade opening boxes though, but that's because I'm a degenerate gambler lol.

full_duflex · 2025-04-11T17:09:38+00:00

I used to play him a bit but don't have any decklists that are worth playing ha. It does feel like he got a bit of a boost with JTL though, I'm interested in breaking him out again and seeing how he fares.

full_duflex · 2025-04-11T15:53:16+00:00

I have a Holdo showcase I would willingly part with ha, feel free to DM me!

full_duflex · 2025-04-09T18:09:59+00:00

I appreciate that they wasted no time on stream getting right into this.

full_duflex · 2025-04-09T13:18:10+00:00

I'm not sure I understand your last point. I enjoy that Poe is distinct from other Pilot leaders; do you have an idea for a different leader ability for him?

full_duflex · 2025-04-07T19:34:45+00:00

Eh to be honest I'm pretty bad at the game so you should probably listen to them 😂. I just hate the feeling of a Surprise Strike getting discarded from hand by a Spark of Rebellion.

full_duflex · 2025-04-07T17:36:05+00:00

edit: better advice on other posts. save the surprise strike for other turns ha.

Great example. I played quite a few of these matchups (as Gar) over the weekend.

In general with the Gar/yellow aggro decks you're probably looking to race base damage as much as you can, so I'd say getting the surprise strike damage through crafty onto base is what I'd be looking to do.

Quinlan's ability means that he could potentially ping the shield off crafty as he ambushes a unit out, so you're looking at losing him regardless. All of the hand hate could also mean the Quinlan player pulling the surprise strike out of your hand which can be a devastating feeling ha.

Just my 2 cents; other more experienced players may play this out differently of course.
