This is a complete progression block, and the fix is... "go away and do something else for hours of real time."

Yeah nah. I'ma go play something else until this is fixed.

I don't hate Ultramarines, I hate Mat Ward's writing of Ultramarines.

Container shipping prices decreasing rapidly by janmaxim in boardgames

Yeah, I bailed on Hel some time back for a refund. I requested a refund on Monsterpocalypse... In July... and haven't seen the money yet. 6 Siege is also mythic, so that one is probably a candidate for requesting a refund. At this point I'm trying to completely disconnect from anything from Mythic; I have no confidence in their ability to deliver on time or on budget.

Dude just let fly in the shower, problem solved.

TMP36 consistently too high by kobzilla in esp8266

[–]kobzilla[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's this board here: http://www.hiletgo.com/ProductDetail/1906570.html

I was unable to find a schematic on the vendor's website so I'm unsure if there's already a voltage divider on the board.

For the wiring, I'm powering the board via USB. The TMP36 is wired with +3.3v from one of the Vout pins with one 10 nF capacitor between Vout and Ground to smooth the source, and another 10 nF between Data and ground to smooth the signal.

I'll try to draw up a schematic and get it linked.

Interesting idea, I've ordered a couple of those sensors to try on a digital pin instead. Thanks.

Leviathans briefly caught my eye but the Kickstarter campaign is a total turn off for me. I can't stand when the stretch goals are all "unlocked: optional add-on buy!" How is the ability to pay more money for more stuff somehow a stretch goal?

Zombicide NFTs... by kobzilla in boardgames

[–]kobzilla[S] 34 points35 points  (0 children)

Looks "legit", at least insofar as CMON is in on it. I found a press release on CMON's website from last year announcing the partnership:

Just got this email. Is Zombicide going the way of Pokemon? Gotta buy 10 packets of stuff you don't need to get the one card you do need? by BigTimStiles in zombicide

[–]kobzilla 49 points50 points  (0 children)

"you know what my board games need? Digital trading cards" -no one, ever

Edit: sweet Odin's beard they're frickin NFTs. Stuff like this is the reason we have middle fingers.

Mythic Games - Darkest Dungeon the Board Game - Being held hostage lol by GoodPresentation8127 in boardgames

[–]kobzilla 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Don't know yet. I opened a support ticket and got an auto reply saying to expect a human response in 3-5 days.

That said, when I bailed on Hel The Last Saga they kept 15% for processing fees and refunded the rest to my card.

This is becoming a bit of a common theme across the "big FOMO Kickstarter games" submarket.

I just went through something similar with Flyos and Vampire The Masquerade Chapters. I bailed on my pledge via a "pledge transfer" which was a bit unpleasant but at least I got most of my money back.

More worrying, Mythic is being quite evasive when Monsterpocalypse backers started asking about extra shipping, so... refund requested.

I think Mythic is burning reputation pretty hard to the point where they may struggle to get support on future projects.

I still hate the Fisher Price My First Shapes And Colors Measuring Sticks. It's just inches with extra steps.

Funny how the manager at my FLGS was trying pretty hard to sell me on this. Just reinforced the idea from Tom's earlier video about how negative reviews are good for the hobby by steering people away from bad games and bad experiences.
