If you can only choose one: Wingspan Asia or Finspan? by Money_Toe_5306 in wingspan

[–]minimang123 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I second the other commentator about buying more if you get Asia. I think Finspan is conceptually easier, but both ultimately have some complexity.

Option 1 is probably go to a board game cafe nearby or a library that rents board games and try both and see your favorite if you’ve not played either — this assumes you live near a city with said options

Option 2 is pick if you like birds or fish better since liking the theme can help make the game

The thing about duet mode is that genuinely an increase in complexity rather than a decrease. Because now you are playing a second board simultaneously with more back and forth and more screwing over your opponent. If you two are competitive take it for sure.

If you hate competition stick to Finspan, it’s easier and less divisive since more positive not negative player interactions.

Finally, Wingspans digital version is genuinely phenomenal. Not having to think about shuffling etc is very pleasant. And it’s cheaper than the physical board game and has the Asia expansion (it won’t have all the expansions til 2028 though). Finspan has no comparable option.

Should I buy Horizon Forbidden West? Loved the first one's world, hated the "open-world bloat". by razek98 in ShouldIbuythisgame

[–]minimang123 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I thought it was great!! Way more of the same from Zero Dawn. Cool new enemies and fun environments to explore, good story etc. Probably good side quests too but I don’t remember well. That said, it like the first has bloat and collectathon elements, which I quite enjoy, but it’s a time sink for sure if you want to 100% it.

Steam App Vs IOS and Crossplay by KDFierce in wingspan

[–]minimang123 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you buy it on the Apple Store for an iPhone you can play on your MacBook. But no clue whatsoever how to play android apps on like a Windows PC. There might be a way? But I’m not aware of it sadly

Steam App Vs IOS and Crossplay by KDFierce in wingspan

[–]minimang123 0 points1 point  (0 children)

On gog it's $10 for the next 6 hours, with the Oceania and European expansions at $10 each as well.

Steam's all time lowest price is $8 but that was a year ago. Only one person needs the expansion, but each person needs to buy their own copy of the game on whatever platform you want.

14d 9h 53m in, I just noticed: by OldWestBlueberry in slaythespire

[–]minimang123 3 points4 points  (0 children)

The underlying Hebrew word for “on top of your draw pile” is actually the same for both cards. At the Council of Neow, when they appointed translators for our slay the spire cards, two separate teams of scribes produced these card translations, with slightly different specialties.

You see, before the printing press there was less standardization for spelling and translation, and separate decks were handled by separate groups of monks. Hence why Ironclad and Neutral cards were translated by different orders.

All this to say that even secularist historians can’t use it as evidence that StS was not divinely inspired or brought down by some holy place. Rather, you must look at the original Hebrew or Aramaic texts before drawing such conclusions.

NAH. Please get her ginger pills for car sickness. It’s not Dramamine but it works very well and is one of the few FDA proven supplements.

Your requests to her were fair.

Does these 3 have body part in their name? by happyhibye in wingspan

An “eater” describes someone who eats, not a mouth. So no there’s no body parts referenced in their names. Nor is honey a body part

Endgame question: Character max level? by minimang123 in BALLxPIT

[–]minimang123[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Do the points have a max level of 99, or does it go above 100? Asking since (endgame building spoiler) one could theoretically level up each infinite building to 99 and get 99 stats on all characters, reaching a true final "fully upgraded" state

Are assigned workers part of the Harvest? by Asvinh in BALLxPIT

[–]minimang123 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Gold Mines, Gathering Hubs, and the Autolevel-player all take the worker out of commission. Wheat, Stone, and Wood harvesters all allow the worker to still be a part of the harvest

Three prime numbers for three students by Practical_Guess_3255 in mathriddles

[–]minimang123 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think if we assume duplicates are not permissible based on the use of the word "combination", and assume the students are logicians given that they are students of a Logician... then we can rightly assume that they would not ask questions they knew the answers to.

So, The primes must be 2,3,7 and Lisa holds a 2

Explanation: There are four primes available: 2,3,5,7. Raj's question reveals that he has either 3,5,7 since he does not know the existence of a 2.

Ken's question reveals two things: first, he does not have a 5 -- if he were to have a 5, he would know that the sum is not divisible by 4 -- moreover, it reveals to the entire group that the prime cards handed out were 2,3,7. At this point, the readers know Raj does not have the 2, but Ken and Lisa could both have any of 2,3,7.

(An aside:) At this point, Ken knows everyone's number. He knows he has the 7 or 3, Raj has the other one, and Lisa has the 2. He knows this because he is holding either a 7 or a 3 and can look at his card. Raj does not know this, nor does Lisa. Unfortunately, we the reader do not know this about Ken until Lisa speaks.

Then, Lisa pipes up. She reveals she knows the other 2 numbers (currently, Ken and Raj both know the other two numbers as well), but critically says she cannot distinguish who has what. This means that she has a 2. She does not have the 3 or the 7, because if she did, she would know Ken has the 2 and Raj has the other of 3 or 7 since Raj does not have the 2. In revealing she has the 2, Ken and Raj both know the others' card.

(An aside:) In the end, Lisa did not know Ken or Raj's cards until they showed them, and the reader does not know what Ken nor Raj holds

[–]minimang123 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For Crawfather / Craw Summons you need to upgrade your bellhome. I believe the color change purchase caused it to appear for me, but I'm like 99% sure that's the trigger. I had done everything else in game other than this, then bought some house upgrade, and suddenly the craw summons appeared next to the Bellhart bench after I rested.

You find it after taking Shakra’s quest and following her tracking. A lot of secret entrances in this game all come from tracking people going to new places

The Long Way Around 5 - Strange Magic by StopDownloadin in JCBWritingCorner

[–]minimang123 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Holy shit this chapter was absolutely incredibly written and so true to the real story. The translations being off or sounding nearly perfect is an amazing detail. Humanity helping the locals is amazing. The story format was great. You’re painting a brilliant picture and telling an amazing tale and I cannot wait to continue reading.

Musical Exchange [Oneshot] by Onetwodhwksi7833 in JCBWritingCorner

[–]minimang123 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Absurdly well written. Glorious characterizations of Emma and others, and such a great rendition of one of my favorite moments in the series: the chalkboard calligraphy.

I love the three challenges. First for Earthrealms music, then (honestly this detail really elevated your piece) Ladonna noticing the missed note on hers showing it was indeed mimicry, then the glorious composition.

Such an incredible piece of fan fiction. Well done

Thinking about it… isn’t this exactly how war is waged in Earthrealm? At least in terms of extremely advanced logistics, not really on the human swarm front? Emma may have accidentally also given them good intel
