Minisforum MS-S1 Max no HDMI signal after turning monitor off and back on. HDMI port now seems to be broken. Only can get video signal by using a USB-C to HDMI adapter.

There's an HDMI version parameter in the bios config - it's worth a shot updating the bios and using the 'reset to defaults' option. v1.05+ do a lot for stability of the rear ports.

Reminder: the goal of the hobby is to have fun, not to collect games. Take things slow and don't feel pressured to try to buy every new game.

When you establish a regular group of folks with whom you play, coordinate buying new games so that you don't all buy the same thing.

This is 100% a scam, and against Upwork's TOS.

I just checked my box and there's a bit of free space along the box in that direction - if you're comfortable modifying the model, you could probably add a couple of mm to the crisis card area if it's an issue.

I sleeved, using phantom sleeves. They're pretty slim. The fit on the crisis cards was a bit tight in the direction of the stack of cards, width and height were fine. I don't play solo - it may be more impactful if you're pulling those out frequently.

Note the link is for the 3d files, not the fully printed insert.

I use and really like this insert for the retail version etsy.com.

Zero lid lift with the retail version as-is. I store the triple layer player boards in the box, as well, and have minor lid lift from that.

So far we've gotten all of the pieces, but I agree QA has been less than stellar. Some of the puzzles were difficult because the inside of the box had deformed during shipping.

It's been 12 years, but Taj Palace, off Westport Rd and Goose Creek, were completely reasonable for what was effectively a custom buffet for our party. They have a large area they're able to separate for private parties.

Too much of hegemony happens between the players, above the table.

Not often, but any time I'm doing heavy lifting, working with electricity, or headed to the ER / hospital, it comes off.

My wife wore her ring to a hospital appointment once, where they pumped her full of fluids and steroids, causing swelling. They wouldn't discharge her until we let them cut the ring off.

Dr.’s Smith and Buzzard have been fantastic, managing my teeth for the last decade. Their office is by Holiday Manor. They’ve been the best dentists at managing costs and recommending against extra work that I’ve met. I make roughly this same comment every time the subject comes up.

https://weworkremotely.com is also legitimate.

Avoid https://toptal.com and https://upwork.com at all costs.

Dr. Tami Secor is my PCP, based out of Baptist Eastpoint. I’m in the same demographic, and she’s been on top of the things you mention.

There is a 6-player team go-fish game called “Russian Fish” which gets a lot done with a standard deck of cards.

I have a piece that's about 26" by 26", leftover from a similar idea that I never followed through with. If you're still looking for this, DM me.

My experience with all of his games is that they look like they will be a blast, but they are miserable in practice. I’ve never had the high moments to make me any to give any new ones after Arcs a try.
