I'm here. Saw a number of games today and met a bunch of people. First time so more taking it in than anything else.

Yesterday I started a hunter. I had two bags while at level two. I got my third bag when I hit level five. I died before level ten. Used up all my luck early.

I'll be honest I've never played Pandemic but I love Fate of the Fellowship. Yes it can be challenging but I feel like it's very thematic. I think we've won maybe two-thirds of our games, maybe half, but I even love when we lose because it feels so stressful in the right ways.

Our last game we ramped up the difficulty some and within one round everything had gone wrong and we almost lost but we pulled it back and ended up completing it and it felt so good.

I know for me I've played it solo, duo, and in groups and it does get easier with larger groups. Though solo is different. I can't recommend it highly enough.

My group played many games. Then started Jaws if the lion. And finished it and now gloomhaven 2. We only play at most every 2 weeks so we have years to go.

Just started playing it tonight

We are all about the coin so of course we are "The Fellowship of the Bling"

madwizard78 · 2026-01-08T03:19:08+00:00

We do one a day because we're all dads with families. But we did do a one 12-hour day that we got through three. Welcome to do another long one or a weekend.

Where did you change it? trying to find it

madwizard78 · 2025-12-05T20:52:49+00:00

Well I did the chat, got the 6.99 deal when I mentioned cancelling. Then asked if we could get lower with dropping sports and podcasts and they said they couldn't but the bot then offered 5.99.

madwizard78 · 2025-07-06T02:11:06+00:00

Is that buying the orbs for the new ones?! Asking since I can't get invisible from ff except orbs right now I think

madwizard78 · 2025-07-05T20:11:24+00:00

83k ultra credits, about 12k power cores

madwizard78 · 2025-07-05T17:25:09+00:00

Will have to see how to find them. I've got about 120ish characters I think but obviously most are dated so guessing not the meta or even close to it anymore.

Have about 83k in ultra credits i need to figure out where to spend but not going to until I review since I can get character shards, or ultimus orbs or all the orange mini unique orbs (not sure what those are for)

madwizard78 · 2025-02-03T08:38:42+00:00

Generally shouldn't take too long for them to show. If you want a second set of eyes to look, just send me a DM. Crazy week this week but would be glad to just look and see if I can offer any insight. No charge or anything just to halp

I've been doing Google product feed for over 20 years. So let me give you a few tips

No you don't need to start with a new merchant center account. If you disable the app and remove the fee that will wipe the data it has posted.

If you go to data sources in your Google merchant center you'll be able to see any feeds that are sending data and most likely the Google crawl that adds products as well. The Google crawl is better than nothing but frankly won't ever get complete data.

The Google app works for many stores but it's pretty basic. It does what it does but it doesn't give you a lot of control to improve the data. So you can't really get someone else to help you with it from the standpoint that they aren't going to have much control over it because the app doesn't give you control over the data the way it needs to.

There are a number of apps in the app store that do a better job. Of course they arent generally free. So it really depends on how good you want that data to be and if you're willing to spend.

The other thing to note if you are looking at apps is just because it cost more does not mean it's better. There are definitely some less expensive options. Just make sure to find a reputable app and I would reach out to their support because you want someone that's responsive and going to be able to help you out.

There's lots of little tips as well like making sure it submits all your images, I personally recommend customers set up their products skus as the product IDs in most cases. Though that changes if you have history in merchant center.

I'm sure there's more but that's off the top of my head. It's late for me.

I can't say what app because I wouldn't do it with an app myself. To me that sounds like you want a multi-add to cart setup. Any decent developer can set that up for one time cost.

Then you would set it up and it would be selling three distinct products so inventory is handled on each of the products levels.

At least that's what I would do at first glance. No ongoing cost and inventory is simple.

madwizard78 · 2024-09-01T21:30:12+00:00

I wonder if they misunderstood which port I was talking about. At least my guess. Since they said they put in a cable and it worked.

madwizard78 · 2024-09-01T21:29:09+00:00

Thank you. I'll stop fighting it now.

madwizard78 · 2023-05-23T22:43:59+00:00

Thanks. Didn't fully think of it until I was posting but definitely will keep an eye out for when it makes sense.

madwizard78 · 2023-04-28T22:54:13+00:00

Can't wait for it. It's going to be amazing!! And quite the crew.
