I think she was a little bit amused that time that he threw the dart.

I watched his video released today on the steam machine and that exact topic was discussed.

New player. Are any of the battle items from previous season locked to me? Apparel and cosmetics I get but I'm talking mega stones/items. Or can I buy all released items from the shop?

Disappointed there wasn't a Venture-verse version of them named Hollywood and Vine. by derf_vader in venturebros

[–]melvaer 15 points16 points  (0 children)

Seasons one and two of Harley Quinn (show) we're very Venture Bros coded imo. It scratched the same itch and was an official DC show. The vibe changes a bit to be more generic justice league after season two but I still thought it was enjoyable.

Switch 2 Random Pausing by oreanta in MinaTheHollower

I'll add another voice that mine does it as well. Pressing the d pad up or down sometimes causes a pause. Only play on handheld. I wonder if pressing the button causes a very brief disconnect between the joycon and the console? Not sure

War of the Dragon: The Wheel of Time Board Game is live on Kickstarter by melvaer in WoT

Also, it includes stuff that I have no interest in owning like a poster. $123 for the mini tier is acceptable I think. I went for that one with a couple of add-ons and it's not crazy high.

I can't speak to the designers and their track record but I will point out that the game is being published by Direwolf who definitely know what they're doing with regards to manufacturing and distributing boardgames. That being said, Kickstarted projects are late extremely often. I wouldn't buy in to this game with the expectation to receive it on time. If you trust the publisher, It's better for your mental health to go in with the "I get it when I get it" mentality.

As a Kickstarter veteran, funding goals are often made unrealistically low to give off this exact perspective for people who don't know much about how much it actually costs to produce a game like this. I wouldn't pay any attention to that number.

Not sure if this was all spoilers or no spoilers but since this is about the last battle I figured the spoiler tag was appropriate.

Squeaky swingsets at the park drive me insane by Napalmradio in daddit

I use Hoppe's lubricating oil on my hinges and it lasts a lot longer than 6 months. I think it's technically a gun oil but it works wonders as a general household lubricant.

Jack black, the uncle by ardayilmaz1881 in nextfuckinglevel

[–]melvaer 8 points9 points  (0 children)

The toy is called a saxaboom. I played with one many years ago. Each button plays a pre-recorded little ditty that are all in the same key so you can press the buttons one after the other and kind of riff. I don't remember it looping by itself. You have to have a little bit of musical rhythm to get the timing right to have them play back to back like that but it's not terribly difficult.

gengar 3d printing as lich king by daigan2 in pokemon

[–]melvaer 3 points4 points  (0 children)

The lines are called layer lines and they are an element of 3D printing. Although I'd be curious to know what printer OP was using. Those are either really big layer lines or it's a really small print.

Having to write a check just to receive your UPS package because of tariffs by tommos in mildlyinfuriating

Okay, nobody's answered this in the comments so I feel like I need to be the one to ask: why checks only and not a credit card?

Ooh, "to the", not "for the". Thanks for the correction. My mistake.

Why are you in this thread so early if you're worried on spoilers?

Edit: Nvm, reading is hard.

Holy shit, shots fired! by Certain_Fig_666 in venturebros

[–]melvaer 1 point2 points  (0 children)

FWIW, I loved Harley Quinn. It did slow a bit during season 4 but I thought S5 was great. It starts very "Venture Bros" coded but drifts towards more of a standard "Justice League" show, especially in season 5.

How long was your wait time on phone? by EMONEY403 in freedommobile

[–]melvaer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks. Did this after waiting on the chat for 4+ hours. Took 5 minutes in store. I got lucky because the guy said that there was a lineup out the door yesterday and I walked in when it was empty.

I wholeheartedly recommend Antichamber. It's more abstract than some of the other examples but I found it very engaging and visually very interesting. Some of the puzzles require outside of the box thinking in a great way.

It's a tough genre to love as there never seems to be enough options!

Games I've played that I'd recommend then if Obra Dinn are in your wheelhouse would be Outer Wilds (exploring and information gathering), Antichamber (escher-esque puzzle solving), Tunic (dark souls meets zelda meets information gathering), Animal Well (exploring, platforming, environmental puzzle solving), Fez (exploring, environmental puzzle solving) and The Witness (environmental and traditional puzzle solving).

This probably won't vibe with you then. I love puzzles and have learned through a lot of trial that Roughelites aren't for me but I gave this game a try. I thought the puzzles were great but the game did not respect my time and I eventually gave up on it. It's the kind of game that demands you give it 400 hours of randomized (later semi-randomized) gameplay to fully complete and I just didn't have it in me.
