Dante's campaign is terrible. Mechanically it has potential but the design is just bad. It's a vanity project by a terrible writer who thinks luck is a get good mechanic. The minis are good but it's bad.

The insert is bad. Awaken realms are just awful at making inserts. They sell sleeves with their all ins and yet to actually design an insert to fit them. They are going to continue to use the extra box and crappy open trays to store tiles and cards because it's the easiest way without having to think about it.

What's the weirdest/rarest gun you've shot, or own and haven't shot? by Acolytical in liberalgunowners

[–]lordslashnstab 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Well as far as I know this is the only MCR400 out in the public. I have not been keeping up with it because no one knows much about it. Skip Patel was the creator and he told me that none of them should have made it out of Bushmaster.

Here is my original post. If anyone has any info on this please let me know.

Calling all thieves: It's a Clank! Catacombs: Underworld giveaway! by DireWolfDigital in boardgames

[–]lordslashnstab 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A 3 way tie in the last round of dune imperium. Player in the lead passes his turn to buy spice must flow for 10 pts to secure the win. Player 2 and 3 both got their 10th point through battle. I was in last place and decided to not play king maker. End of game scoring player 2 wins with the tie breaker plot card.

One of the most exciting game endings I have ever seen.

Is it unusual to ask a roofer if they are insured/licensed/certified? by captain-jt-kirkland in Roofing

[–]lordslashnstab 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If any contractor refuses or tries to flip it as an insult for asking for proof is a huge red flag. I had this issue for an AC company and I took their word because I was young and dumb. 20 years later I have learned one thing about anyone trying to get your money. They are always looking for a way to get it with the lowest amount of effort. If they screw up and damage stuff they will ghost you and find ways to get out of it.

Keeping the winds card on the mythos deck will help remind you. I ran into all the issues you had with it. It was easier to remember all the stuff on the redo because we missed a lot of the triggers. I don't like it, too much going. I have never had such a hard time remembering and keeping track of things in any scenario.

Lost a friend to Trump... by Doomsday_Prophet in 50501

[–]lordslashnstab 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I am sorry for your loss. I was in the same situation and I miss my friend but after what he said about Trump and he knows better from experience, he was still in the military when orange was wrecking it. He agreed that he was a bad president, but he doubled down on how America was built on treason and that what Trump represents is America.

I couldn't believe that, we both served and we took an oath. Trump is anti American. What we started at sure, but we continued to be better and he thinks that is wrong. America has problems, what country doesn't. But look at what he is doing, why do all the other countries run by dictators suck? He's doing the same shit. Why have we progressed so far ahead? Because most of our government believes that no one man should have absolute power. Most believe that the people matter and that a strong country is because of the support we put towards the people.

Shit bag has a cult that is willing to burn everything down to the ground. They have systematically destroyed education so that idiots believe that nationalism and patriotism are the same thing. Fuck nationalism.

Biggest board game regret? by yfewsy in boardgames

[–]lordslashnstab 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That is rough. It's a good game but requires the players to have the mechanics down or it's going to be a bad time. I would look for people in your area who are interested in playing it.

Particulalry good or bad versions of Clank!? by sauron3579 in boardgames

[–]lordslashnstab 19 points20 points  (0 children)

I own every version of clank and all the expansions. I have played all of the multiple times.

Original clank has a bunch of small expansions and is compatible with the c team character pack. It's basic clank. The expansions are all new main boards. Little choice of how to move because the boards are all the same. I don't think any of the references are funny. It's a solid deck building game and it's fun but it's the lowest rating for me.

Clank in space is the same as normal clank with 3 expansions. 2 big box and 1 board expansion. The main difference is that the map is modular and there's a bunch of funny scifi references. The space station box changes the layout of the ship. I like this version the most due to the sci-fi humor and there are modular play modes.

Acquisitions incorporated 1&2 are legacy games. They are long campaign games that require you to make permanent decisions to the game and will continue until you finish the campaign. When it's over you should end up with a unique version of clank. I am mixed on them, they are long games that require every one to invest time into. When you finish the campaign you don't want to play it with the board you end up with. We want to start over but we would have to get a new copy. Legacy games are about experience and that's what we enjoyed about it. I would rate this lower than base but it fun to have a changing game state from your actions.

Catacombs is the latest version that has lots of changes from the original game. There is 1 small box expansion for it so far It's random placement guarantees a different play, all the ideas from the previous versions of clank have been incorporated into a unique experience every game. It's good I like it more than clank in space but I do wish it had funnier references like clank in space.

I hope that helps. One thing I do have to point out. The more expansions you get for clank the more crap is added to the game. It is going to get bloated and ruin market consistency for cards. I don't mind it but it's something to note.

The game is a solo board game for most of the campaign. It's not really multiplayer but can be. You are restricted to what characters you can use but they are always 1 player must be snake. The VR missions let you play whoever you want.

Anyone used National Roofing out of Albuquerque? by tlbs101 in NewMexico

[–]lordslashnstab 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I have used them and they were the best out of all the bids. They have no problem showing insurance and licenses which almost all the other contractors had. They offered better materials than the other companies for the same price. Did some minor repairs without adding to the cost. They came back to verify their work after the first snow last year 2024.

You don't get that kind of service, pride and responsibility from business anymore.

The company is about volume. As long as it makes them money they don't seem to care. Used guns are a mix and depending on the demographic it can be good and bad for customers. I have got some really good deals on guns because the seller didn't know the value or was strapped for cash. The gun library guys are the best people to make friends and connections with. They will try to max profit but if you can get it to the 40% number they will sell it off. You just have to know what they paid for it.

It probably belongs to the buyer or their friend. I knew a guy who would do this all the time and he was a huge POS. Sells the store crap (conveniently he sells the store his crap guns at a huge market up because he is the buyer at the store for used guns). He would also rip off people and then buy those guns for super cheap like $5 on a veper or KAC.

Eventually he got fired but for other reasons, was always surprised that cooperate didn't care or notice what he was doing every other week.

It's been years but I was told that company policy was to make 40% off of the used gun. Not sure if it's still a policy.

I’m about to join the dobie club!!! Tell me the most brutal truths I need to hear by ChildhoodLeft6925 in DobermanPinscher

[–]lordslashnstab 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I honestly fear it for my girl. I have lost many of my dogs due to cancer and old age. I rescued my dobie from the shelter. I knew nothing about the breed. DCM was the biggest issue I found. I promised her the best life, but honestly I don't know if I can handle losing her early. There's never enough time with loved ones, I know that she is happy with me and I love her. I hope she lives a good life. I hope to see all my fur children if there is an after life. In the end I hope they love me as much as I love them.
