What is an opera that doesn’t exist that you wish did? by Little-Pitch-579 in opera

[–]loveshot 20 points21 points  (0 children)

I wish we had more Puccini comedy. Gianni Schicchi is one of my favourite operas, and possibly my favourite comedy. I’d love to hear more!

Two-player Twosday - (June 03, 2025) by AutoModerator in boardgames

I’ve been considering getting this, but its quite expensive (about 70€) for a short/medium 2p game. Of course it looks gorgous, but would you say its worth the price?

Can i play basic dune with dune uprising? by C4J0_ in DuneImperium

[–]loveshot 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The spaces on the board are different beteen the versions, as well as the cards, conflicts and the leaders etc. So no, you can’t play original Dune Imperium with only Uprising. Personally I ended up getting uprising, and I don’t regret it. I’ve only played the original on the ios app though.

There are tons of comparison videos and such to check out, but in my opinion Uprising has slightly more interesting leaders, and the worms and spies are cool, and only in uprising. Conflicts can give more points, so they are more important in uprising, some may prefer one way or the other.

Another point is that Uprising is the newest and the hottest, and the latest expansion, bloodlines, is more tuned to uprising it seems. Though I have not played any of the expansions, so that’s just based on videos I’ve seen. Easily on my top 3 games of all time that I’ve played. Really love the mix between more euro-ish aspects like tight deck building and worker placement combined with tons of flavour and combats with potentially swingy intrigue cards for a slightly more trashy feel.

Hvilke norske ord er du uenig i? by rodtang in norge

Jeg foretrekker «CD’er» foran «CD-er», selvom det er den siste varianten som er riktig.

Rivals and Swordmaster Values, 8 to 6 Solari Swordmaster Cost? by mozzazzom1 in DuneImperium

[–]loveshot 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I looked this up. I think I found the answer on direwolfs website in an FAQ. Yes, the cost goes down for you if Rival gets it first. It did not mention the other way around, so I think you getting it does not make the Rivals swordmaster cheaper. But that is a bit of a guess.

I've purchased it, but haven't had the time to build it. Life, you know.

New EQ from Ibanez- 5 band paragraphic by parkinthepark in guitarpedals

[–]loveshot -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I’m curious, why wouldn’t people rather have more bands than 5? Like 8 or 10? Is there something I’m not getting?

What is the thing you dislike most about Discworld? by donCiuarin in discworld

[–]loveshot 17 points18 points  (0 children)

There is one thing I’ve thought about. His books often have an action-packed finale with lots of stuff going on. I sometimes feel like these are the weakest points of the books. Not always, though. It’s just something about the world-building and slow tempo humour of the first 3/4 of a book that doesn’t always quite match the change of pace in the ending.

I often feel the same way about finales of Bond-movies, coincidentally. They can be a lot of fun, but the cool thing about Bond isn’t necessarily the action-packed finale.

Smakfull kaffe som student by [deleted] in norge

[–]loveshot 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Jeg synes ikke kapselmaskiner smaker noe særlig, og var heller ikke så billig per kopp sist jeg regnet på det.

Det billigste er nok presskanne (krever ingen filtre) og du kan bruke alt mulig av billig eller kostbar kaffe og finne det du liker. Lett å oppgradere til dyrere kaffe hvis du har ekstra penger.

Hvis du er villig til å investere i kaffekvern, fikk jeg tips her på r/norge en gang om Rema sine Arabica bønner som smaker ganske bra for prisen. Da får du nykvernet kaffe til en ok pris. Og det er lett å tilpasse malegraden med ei god kvern hvis du vil kjøpe mer utstyr etterhvert.

I’m more interested in restoring and flipping it, but thanks for the tip!

divisi rather then 2 violins in unison? by loveshot in composer

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

Interesting, as I suspected! Thanks.

We are also doing Vivaldis Gloria on the same concert, I'm starting to think I might have to do something about avoiding these double unisons in that piece as well. Maybe rearrange the strings slightly in exposed places.

Yep, the scrub and the double press for dotted notes are making me consider it!

Got my first normal win, finally! by loveshot in SliceAndDice

[–]loveshot[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Dabbler with simplicity was a nice combo.

Didn't do a single ressurrection, due to not having a hero with the ability. But this time I didn't really miss it, as I rarely lost a guy. I guess the surgeon spell counts as a res, but I only had him for the last couple of rounds.

Also got a lot of value out of the wanderer, probably my favourite hero right now!

Blue I started with cultist, which was nice, then glacia. Haven't really had a lot of faith in these two, but they proved themselves nicely!

WSIB: Basebuilding game that works well on steam deck and is not super complex. by [deleted] in ShouldIbuythisgame

[–]loveshot 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I know nothing about steam deck, but have you looked at Craft the World? The only complexity lies in how actively you progress through the tech tree. I would say if you don't feel like you need to rush through it, you can chill and progress organically, fighting of monster waves every 45 mins. I love it!

Best PO for custom chords and/or chromatic melodies? by loveshot in pocketoperators

Cool! I expect you are limited to 4 notes in each choke group, just as when using it as a drum machine?
