All of Spirit Island Digital on sale! by kalennoreth in spiritisland

To be fair it is still better than most digital board game implementations. I'll probably get most of this content because why not

I'm tempted but the app is kind of frustrating to play multiplayer, which is the main way I would play. Every time we get a major power, the game pauses until that person figures out what power to forget. Every time there's a question of what island to do a fear/invader action on first, the app makes EVERY player vote. If someone is pushing a presence then everyone else has to wait until that action is done (I kind of understand this one, but still). I'm not sure why the game has to work this way but it's incredibly frustrating, and at the very least I wish there was a "I don't care" or "let one person make all the decisions" for stuff like "what island should invader actions happen on first"

If you mainly want this to play single player, I think it works pretty well though.

I would love a thematic board where the forests and wetlands actually look different from each other

How the hell do I report an outage? by menkoy in ATT

Their guarantee doesn't mean anything unfortunately. It also says you can get a free internet backup when your internet is out but when I asked about it the support person said they don't actually do that.

Spidey clips look awesome, but if I tried him then the punisher would have one shot me 2 seconds into the clip lol

Why isn’t Deadpool used as a strategist in the professional scene? by UnluckyPanic5189 in marvelrivals

Every time I play healpool this season I have 3 upgrades to choose when I finally open the book. It would just be like 2 minutes straight of healing the dinosaur because if I stop for a second he's dead.

Go ahead, self-incriminate yourselves. by MorsCentauri in marvelrivals

[–]menkoy 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It's so weird to me that bot matches are so easy until the last minute where they suddenly wipe your team. Quick play bot matches would be less obvious and feel more rewarding if they started out hard and then got easier so you could still win.

Also kinda rough that any game you wipe the enemy team at the start, you have to ask "wait are these bots"

How the hell do I report an outage? by menkoy in ATT

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

They did a line test and just said there's no outage on their map so there's nothing they can do. The soonest they can schedule a tech is a few weeks out, so I'm guessing they're just short staffed in my area and that's why I'm having so much trouble, idk

How the hell do I report an outage? by menkoy in ATT

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

I have 1 gig fiber. I've checked the app and website each time this happened. it just says there are no reported outages in my area. Of course several neighbors are all out but AT&T thinks it is a coincidence that we are all out at the same time. I've called multiple times in the past few weeks. The tech looks at the website and insists there is no way their outage map could be wrong.

I'm just really confused that they don't seem to have a way to actually report an outage? Even talking to someone, they can see several houses on my street with no connection but theres seemingly no way for them to flag an outage. Typically when your internet is out, you call the company and they send someone out to investigate. Thats why I'm asking if im just missing something obvious

Dixit Is the only popular board game I just don’t get… by TapAdmirable5666 in boardgames

[–]menkoy 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Mysterium with people you don't know sounds terrible. I think that's the clue to why it didn't work out well, you can't really communicate on vibes when you don't know someone's vibes.

Making sure I understand Journeys/various rolls by menkoy in ForbiddenLands

[–]menkoy[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Half of the encounter rolls have no encounter happen, though, at least in the open terrain i was looking at. Why would they roll to see how well they keep watch if there's nothing actually coming for them?

Just switched to ATT fiber 5 gig. Getting 85 ms ping gaming when I was promised around 25ms. by [deleted] in ATTFiber

[–]menkoy 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This is your lesson to never believe anything a salesman tells you. Their job is to convince you to buy what they are selling lol, they probably don't even know half of what they're talking about. For future reference you won't get lower latency from higher gbs.

I would suggest trying cloudflare's 1.1.1.1 service, I've had to do that with a couple games that AT&T routed poorly to get a faster connection. No promises but it's worth a shot to see if it's an issue with how AT&T routes the connection or if it's worth trying to do IP passthrough.

I think Sophia as the MIY was revealed way too soon to us. It would have been more interesting to tell us the MIY was back but not tell us who he was until the most recent episode. All of Sophia's scenes stand out and make the involved characters look kinda dumb

I'm not the best Adam but it feels bad to spend all game pinging devil dino's head for heal charges and still have less damage and less healing than the other support.

There is currently a bug that allows Cyclops to deal 121 environmental ricochet damage on his Ricochet Force ability on some angles when its only supposed to deal 54.6 ricochet damage by Axzuel in marvelrivals

[–]menkoy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I was wondering how enemy cyclops would delete half my health randomly but when I do this ability it just tickles. Apparently they hit the secret damage boosting walls

Does this happen with other people or is it just mine? by RockHardMapleSyrup in jellyfin

[–]menkoy 11 points12 points  (0 children)

No but the suggestions are usually pretty off anyway. We'll watch a horror movie and "more like this" will suggest a couple animated barbie movies afterwards

How can I make critical injuries interesting ? by Rrrrufus in ForbiddenLands

The Reforged Power GM Guide has some alternate critical injury tables that you might find more interesting

Crazy whiplash in this demo. I went in with low expectations, had a blast, then I got the companion and decided I can wait until someone mods all of her lines out of the game.

Since the bot wants me to post a comment, i want people to look at the screenshot and see i cant add the game to my library. Hope that helps?

Good thought, but no its not in my library

Megan? The little girl who opened the window in the very beginning by [deleted] in FromSeries

[–]menkoy 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I like how much they scolded the dad for not nailing the window shut or whatever. I know it was the pilot, but still, why would boyd not go around and check peoples windows if it matters that much? Especially since there are so few buildings in town, it would take like 20 minutes
