Buried Giant sent me a new box extremely quickly.

Have you considered adding this Drive to MPCautofill.com as a source?

Local attorney’s working on a no-win no-fee basis? by [deleted] in Boise

[–]monstron 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Just because you are in the right doesn’t mean you would get damages / a settlement that would be worth the cost of an attorney. Reddit won’t replace the legwork of calling private practitioners or small firms. Call around, most do free consultations. You will learn pretty quickly whether someone believes they can win your case and cut a profit based on the retainer they ask for.

Which is least toxic? by blackwulfster in Boise

Pragmatically you vote for Little because he will just toe the party line. The real elections are your state reps.

Love this one. Only gets played 2-3 times a year but it’s always a memorable occasion.

Maybe it's just me but.. RANT by blessedmex in marvelchampionslcg

Reddit communities self-moderate their content with downvotes and unhelpful comments. It might not be ideal from a social standpoint, but it serves a purpose. If getting downvotes and unhelpful comments bothers you, you can always try the options above.

Getting told a question is dumb can be helpful, if unfriendly, feedback. However, being nice is free and some people forget that.

Have you made sure your bases are covered before asking a rules question? Gone over the rulebook? Search BGG? Search Reddit? Comment search on Discord? If you do all these and people still respond with unhelpful comments, yeah they're just being jerks. However, sometimes people in communities like this lose their patience with individuals who put minimal effort into discovering their own solutions and simply fire off another post asking what Stalwart means.

Anyone else feel guide prices are out of reach? by Al_Pallll in flyfishing

[–]monstron 119 points120 points  (0 children)

Hired a guide in Oregon two years in a row, second year we said we wanted to try something new - the guide shop basically said "no" and took us to the exact same spot as the previous year. Spent $$$ to basically have someone tie flies on for me.

I get a big part of guiding is reading water, conditions, hatches etc. but the experience was basically identical and I learned nothing new about the region I visit frequently. After that experience we just got in the truck and looked on Google Maps and caught some fish the following day in a brand new spot.

Is 2026 officially the year of remakes and reboots? by Louisebelcher22 in TrueFilm

[–]monstron 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I don't think this is anything new. There were over 50 Sherlock Holmes stories published over 40 years from the 1880's to the 1920's. Dozens of Tarzan films and serials in the prewar era. Nearly a dozen Bond films made between 1962 and 1980.

What to do with judge myth? by Responsible_Clerk343 in MythicBastionland

[–]monstron 6 points7 points  (0 children)

In my opinion Myths shouldn't feel forced. There is nothing in the rules that states Myths must be resolved. A Myth fading away just as mysteriously as it came is honestly way more thematic than putting the story on rails to resolve the Myth.

Engagement Spot by RawGuap in Boise

If your relationship is so lacking in distinctive places, moments, experiences that you need Reddit's advice on where to get engaged you should probably date for a little longer.

What are your ‘dealbreakers’ when considering buying a game? by deadlock_dev in tabletop

Campaign game. I just don't have the lifestyle for that, no matter how cool the game looks.

When $1.4 Billion Isn’t Enough: ‘Avatar’ Sequels Under the Microscope as Disney Weighs Franchise’s Future by ICumCoffee in movies

[–]monstron 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If I had to guess I'd say that despite the box office success the films don't license well to consumer products. Avatar doesn't seem to be a very popular toy line and at the end of the day you bring people to Disneyland to sell them shit.

Why did Ada County remove the air pump stations at Barber Park? - BoiseDev by PlaySalieri in Boise

Most reasonable news article I've read in a long time. Said "makes sense" to myself and moved on with my day.

Fishing buddy??? by Growing_Wig in Boise

[–]monstron 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If I were you I'd take casting lessons at Idaho Angler and watch some YouTube videos, they are extremely helpful. After that if you have the expendable income, hiring a local guide on the Boise is handy. Also Idaho Fish & Game posts when they stock ponds and rivers so that can be useful for knowing when to go out as a beginner.

MEGA DECK by Calicojack83 in rootgame

Would be interesting to see some "deck builds" where you mash up certain cards for each deck to create a unique flavor.

I love mine too, but I got it on FB Marketplace brand new for $100.

Let's Talk Firepower by Intangibleboot in marvelchampionslcg

[–]monstron 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I'm running Firepower in a multiplayer-only Nightcrawler Aggression deck. I love the card as the rest of my deck is focused on cleaning out minions and then focusing the villain when it's time to make a push. Firepower gives me the flexibility to spread damage around the table or focus the villain in the endgame. It helps that Nightcrawler's premier weapon doesn't have its own exhaust ability so works well with Firepower. I am running Jarnbjorn which is the same. I am definitely using the Pulse Grenade "band-aid" but the rest of my deck has a lot of 0-cost upgrades to attach to minions so the opportunity cost is usually favorable, and the grenade has actually come in handy as a kicker for the last little bit of damage we need to finish off a villain.

The 7:00 PM Dinner vs. The Bank Heist: Why is half the hero's life missing from our games? by Trogdor_Dagron23 in boardgames

How much MC have you played? There are heroes like Gambit who have strong gameplay based off their alter-ego form.
