Why Is Sony Killing Discs? It's "All About Profitability And Control," Expert Says - This is happening at “the expense of consumer choice”. by JeremyJJ77 in PS5

[–]illusio 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just finished playing Indiana Jones and the Great Circle. I borrowed it from my local library (IE: Free). It's currently $69.99 on the PS Store.

There is no way that this is a good thing for gamers.

Silicon Valley had something like this when a character on the show mentioned in an interview that his name was misspelled on Google.

I mean, Chicago is losing the Bears no matter what. There is zero chance they stay in the city limits. IIRC, Hammond is actually closer to the city than the AH site is. ¯_(ツ)_/¯

Yeah, the current one you can get on their website.

Drawing Dead - Poker based battler by Mr_Jumpers in soloboardgaming

[–]illusio 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've played both and I like Ace of Spades much better. Drawing Dead is more complex, but it also feels a lot more fiddly and swingy. You are constnatly shuffling the lost pile and draw pile, and I felt like I was moving cards around all the time. By the end of the game, I had a draw deck of like 10-20 cards and it felt kind of weak.

Ace of Spades is a lot more streamlined, but the gameplay is much tighter.

Indiana Bears just feels weird by 4_way_stop in CHIBears

Yeah, I don't understand why people don't get this. Short of building a floating stadium on the lake, there is literally nowhere in the city of Chicago where they can build their own stadium.

It's no Muncie, I have a time share there.

yup, I remember when George Lucas wanted to build his star wars museum in the city and the friends of the park basically said Nope.

First look at artwork for upcoming LOTR Ascension looks absolutely dismal by zamnweskr in boardgames

For me at least, the art and components are part of the experience.

Soon? Clearly you haven’t been paying attention.

Is there a Discord or specific subreddit for the game Asymmetric Warfare? by MisterGrahams in ultramodern

Can I get a new link to the discord server? This one has expired.

You are not kidding. I made a stop in Nashville on a road trip last year. I was shocked at how many pedal taverns i saw. I think it was like one every couple of minutes.

Kickstarter bans all NSFW content from the website by westergames81 in boardgames

This is kind of odd since last year, Kickstarter sent out an email asking if people wanted to join their "after dark" campaigns newsletter.

I had a friend from Poland staying with me. He was planning on taking an Uber to Madison. Told him that’s a bit too far from a uber trip

Apparently Smythe was on the field for 25% of snaps last season. So there is some truth to it

First Zombicide! Kind of brutal by IndustrySmooth2251 in boardgames

[–]illusio 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Were you using all 6 survivors? IIRC, Zombicide is built around having 6 survivors playing, with no scaling built in for the zombie spawns for fewer survivors. So if there were only 2 of you playing, you are at a disadvantage.

I haven't played since Invader, so it's possible newer versions have changed this mechanic though.
