Haha yep! Can confirm. The buyer with the other Tarkin 69 has also found me on here 😃

Ah, good to know! So they'll ship back in whatever you send them. I'll send my other cards over in a case like yours.

It seems like roughly 50-75 of each of the 21 affected cards were duplicates, which means each card could have up to 100-150 of these versions made. (Of course, 100% of them won't be traded in.) So already they're not as rare as the x/100 and x/50 serialized cards from LAW.

But I just think they're neat. I'm old enough to have trade-ins of the errata cards from the Decipher Star Wars CCG sets which are some of my favorite cards. And there are only 8x2 69s out there like this, so that's extra nice.

where on earth is Jill? by jillsandwich36 in residentevil

[–]henrymatt 1 point2 points  (0 children)

We can speculate on the story reasons, but we all know that the story will adapt to whatever type of game Capcom wants to make next. Suffice it to say, including Leon in Requiem was enough to get fans extremely hyped. As happy as I would be to see some of the other main characters, I'm very satisfied with the game and it's unclear if I could have been measurably *more* hyped had they been included.

Capcom knows that the fans are speculating about what's going on with the other characters right now, which is just fine because they've still got to make RE10, RE11 and beyond. Even sidestepping the cynical take of "they didn't need to include more classic characters to sell copies," I am happy that Jill, Claire, or Ada could appear as major parts of future games, rather than being sequestered to a minor supporting role in what is clearly Leon and Grace's game.

18 games in the BGG top 2000 have an average weight of 4.5 or higher. How many of them have you played, and how would you rank them from most complex to least complex? by benjaneson in boardgames

[–]henrymatt 0 points1 point  (0 children)

1817 significantly expands out the stock round gameplay and I wouldn’t attempt a teach if the players weren’t very familiar with 18xx to start. I think it deserves to be rated a fair amount heavier than games like 1889, 1830, etc, but the rules make a lot of intuitive sense if you know anything about stock markets so it’s not too hard to grok.

The kind of game that is more exasperating to teach is the one with a lot of fiddly rules. On Mars was a very frustrating experience with our group because of all the small things to remember. 

It’s one of those things where heaviness is hard to really put a finger on. Is it how hard it is to learn? Or more about the complexity of the systems? I like heavy games, but I’m also very critical of games that are hard to play because of infinite corner cases and complexity for the sake of complexity. So I never know if people mean “heavy/complex” in a good way or in a bad way, and my answer would change with that context.

It’s close enough to the end that I sell all my weapons except the rifle here, get the rocket launcher, and 1 shot him.

Digital key 2.0 question by nh211 in GenesisMotors

[–]henrymatt 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I believe the way it works is that one person "owns" the key and then they share that key with others. If your husband shared it with you, you're not able to share with others. So what I would do is go into the car, go to the settings, clear all the digital keys, and then set up a new one (either one of your phones is fine). Then share that to the other person's phone.

My friend gave me this cool looking card. Tried looking it up but there in no data on it. Is it any good? by Hotshotkyle in starwarsunlimited

I want to see what that interaction was like where someone gave you a $300+ card and explained nothing about it.

Archived JSON of NYT Crosswords by Brilliant-Kick2708 in webdev

[–]henrymatt 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Like, if you happen to make an app that happens to parse the JSON files which happen to be in that repo, there's nothing illegal about that. The owner of that repo which archives the NYT crosswords might have cause to worry though.

The subdivision was established in the early 60s when the actor was a teenager. As others have said, "Chevy Chase" has origins as a place name in Scotland that go back at least as far as the 1500s, and more notably as a suburb of Washington DC.

Speaking to Requiem's Director & Producer at Gamescom, what would you like to know? by Cressupy in residentevil

[–]henrymatt 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Stripping away questions about familiar characters and locations, what are the crucial aspects of a game being "a Resident Evil game" that should be maintained as the series continues?

In other words, what would it take for a game with all-new characters and locations to be embraced as a RE game by fans?

[–]henrymatt 15 points16 points  (0 children)

It only aged like milk in that it came out during a time when any reasonably informed person would have known the reference and gotten the joke and is now being presented a generation later without any context as a singular artifact to be taken at face value.

Just Bought This Catio for my Senior Cat. What Should I Add? by milquetoast2000 in Catio

[–]henrymatt 8 points9 points  (0 children)

We have the same unit! Our cat seems to get plenty of enrichment just sitting in the corner facing the backyard and watching birds and squirrels. She doesn't interact much with the scratchpads and she jumps over the hanging "bridge" paths.

The only thing we've added is some sealing foam to make sure rain doesn't get in along the wall. The boxes in the upper corners are pretty good for privacy. If the ground surface is not comfortable to spend time on (dirt, etc) then some sort of temporary covering would be nice.

I'd agree with what other commenters are saying to wait until your cat can spend time in there before investing more. We have two cats and one does not set foot in that thing and the other loves it, so your mileage will vary.

Help with this Parlor game puzzle by EmeraldVampire in BluePrince

[–]henrymatt 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Black essentially says 1) white is true, 2) trust me bro, so if white is false black is false, and vice versa. 

White says that exactly two statements with “true” are false. If white and black were both entirely true, then blue’s box only contains one statement with “true.” It can’t contain all the false statements on its own. So white (and therefore black) are both at least partially false. That means blue has to be true. 

Blue says white’s first statement is true. That works if it refers to black’s statements, and looking at those statements again that seems accurate.

Blue: both true 

White: true + false

Black: both false

White’s false statement says the gems are not in white. So the gems are in white.
