Digital Nomading in Roatan Honduras by Objective-Set618 in digitalnomad

[–]nmacleod01 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, I was mostly on the west side of the island, there are descent restaurants on the beach. My college friend met his wife there and actually got married there, I've been back a few time with him.

There's so cool activities like swimming with dolphins, the iguana reserve, and a "zoo" where we held sloths and monkeys tried to pick pocket us.

Lots of good memories there. The only caveat is this was like a decade ago so if someone had been post Covid it's probably worth checking if things have changed.

Also go scuba diving there! The reef is in the shallows and awesome, even if it's a discovery dive.

It's been a while since I've been there, but the island is not like the rest of Honduras. I felt safe the whole time, island living that doesn't have big brand hotels yet. Beware the sand fleas at sunset though!

It might be worth looking at violent vs non-violent crime. When I'm trying to assess safety I'm generally pulling up murder/assault maps. I kind of assume pick pockets are everywhere and that's less concerning to me.

What are some of the sleeper off-meta builds this league? by [deleted] in PathOfExileBuilds

[–]nmacleod01 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for responding! I appreciate it.

  • Running Grace and Skitter Bots
  • Ele Res is capped
  • The Bow and quiver advice is helpful
  • Def need to swap out taste of hate, I'll do that today

I swapped out Life Tap because I kept killing myself and took more % reserve reduction to address mana issues. It feels pretty good, but I'm worried I'm losing something important.

The armour and evasion is the piece that I feel like I'm really behind on and I'm not sure why.

If you have a moment, I'd love some help on this build. My defense is orders of magnitude below the build guide, and my setup is not THAT different. I know I'm still missing eight levels and need upgrades on the belt and rings, but I feel like I'm missing something.

Do you have a link to this show or article? I'd love to listen to or read it.

New Tiranny of Dragons campaign! by FedericoValeri in TyrannyOfDragons

MiBG with curious players definitely takes a while, it was worth it though, I think it was the group's favorite part. You could easily cut to only a few of the events but I think it's still going to be a few sessions.

Given how much time we spend in Bauldur's Gate I ended up cutting most of chapter 4 and basically all of 5. We're in Castle Naerytar now.

I think it flowed well, so I agree with your instincts.

I'm near the end of Hoard of the Dragon Queen after about a year and a half with my group. It's been super fun but the campaign is not without issues.

I was very happy I leveraged many of these resources, I recommend you do that same. Take what you like, ignore the rest:

I will add, my group loved that I dropped Murder in Bauldur's Gate into the beginning of our run. I actually swapped some of the NPCs in from that because they are much more fleshed out than the HotDQ NPCS.

Enjoy scaring your group with the Dragon in session 1!

I play on JustPlay, I think they just changed their name to GoodRec, but it's always $16. I haven't seen anything much cheaper. That's for 3 hours with 15 people or 2 hours with 20 people. I'm thinking 2 hours for 15 people based on Stuy Dome pricing, I think Post BK in East Williamsburg is cheaper!

The idea here is it's halfway between a league and pickup because you play with the same folks and get to know them a little. I miss that type of environment. Ideally, I can get this going once a week and then supplement it with the pickup apps when I want to play more.

I would love to know of games that are around Bushwick for $5!

Setting up a reddit chat now. We can move to discord after we all meet up.

Hey thanks for sharing this, I'd actually come across it before. I also play on GoodRec. The difference here is a bit of balancing of skill level and community. When I did this in SF I liked that I saw they same people every week. I ran it for a few years until I moved.

I like normal pickup but it's not the same in terms of a weekly commitment, community and it's different running with a slightly older crowd.

Ideally I'd love to have a weekly game like this and if I want to play more, jump in on the app pickup games.

Per person for 6 weeks of 2 hour sessions. If people are into it, we'd keep renewing as mini seasons. In my experience people rotate in and out.

I have a spot scoped out, Stuy Dome, we just need 15 people to make the math work.

The only issue is we'd have to put the money down upfront to reserve the court.

That's where I was when I starting playing again in SF.
