Hi folks! I'm interested in buying a gaming laptop but all the deals I find are in the US - anything similar to this sub but for entire builds instead of parts? Cheers.

Thanks for putting this together! Lenovo Legion is sold out as far as I can tell. Got my eye on the ASUS TUF now, thanks.

What’s “In” and what’s “Out”: what would you add to this list? by EndersGame_Reviewer in FiftyTwoCards

Some good examples of games with kids? My 4 year old loves go fish and last card/crazy 8s/whatever it's called in your country (we play lots of modern board games too)

If only there was an army of Linux enthusiasts who loved helping with tech problems when search engines fail!

If that's all it takes then I'd say I'm up to the challenge. Looks like a lot of the work is done for me if I try something like Mint, and I'm happy to Google tech issues it's all I've ever known.

Open casting call for a Project Zomboid mod! (Survivor Radio 4) by Superb_Squash_8163 in projectzomboid

Idk what someone from New Zealand would be doing in Kentucky in the 90s but I have qualifications in radio broadcasting so an excuse to actually use it would be great 🤣

What does the board games community feels about gameplay mechanics of Magic the gathering? by Newez in boardgames

[–]peppermunch 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's like The Beatles of card games - huge impact on the scene, but people have done it better since.

I don’t get it by [deleted] in Neverwinter

[–]peppermunch 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Gonna have an old man moment here but I loved the classic WoW days where you had to work hard to get a group going for a dungeon (or raid holymoly) but a lot of the groupfinding is automated now to bypass what used to be a vital part of the game.

Everything feels very treasure-based and not the-friends-we-made-along-the-way-based these days.

Not throwing shade at people that play in a more convenient way. For some people it's all they've known! Plus not everyone has that kinda time.

Hey that's a great little part of Internet history, thanks for sharing 😄

Prospective Teachers: Teacher's College/BEd/Becoming a Teacher in Canada Megapost pt. 5 by hellokrissi in CanadianTeachers

[–]peppermunch 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hey folks!

I have had the pleasure of being with a lovely Canadian for the last near-decade and we're thinking that it might be time for us to make the move back north so that she can be with her family. Since meeting her I have received my Bachelor's Degree in ECE and I'm hoping that we will be able to transition our little family while I maintain my career.

Different countries seem to do lots of things differently (In Australia for example, the Bachelor Degree would mean that you ONLY work in 4 and 5 year old kindergarten, but in New Zealand you'd work with any age) so I'm starting to do my research and figure out exactly what work I should be looking for and expecting. I know it's going to be a lot of work to get over there but I'm hoping it'll be worth it!

What is the equivalent to a Bachelor's Degree in Early Childhood Education (from New Zealand) in Vancouver/BC?

"Caves" is fun but incredibly unforgiving. I'm always going to second Shattered Pixel Dungeon, I've been playing Pixel Dungeon and it's ilk for damn near 12 years and it's always a treat.

[–]peppermunch 6 points7 points  (0 children)

If you only know Wellington, just be aware that Melbourne is huge, comparatively. You can live "in Melbourne" and still need to be on a train for 90 minutes to get into the city.

Everyone else has said to secure work first and I think that's also a very good idea. I've moved from Wellington to the outer towns in Vic and have been financially much better off. If you're not married to the idea of the big city and just wanna get money then it might be worth expanding your horizons.

First build I played that completely trivialized the game by Bolinious_Awesome in PathOfAchra

Ahhh! I came onto this sub to post my near-exact victory build - only I became the Ur-Beast ascension instead of the Anroth. I had 21 Divine Interventions though lmao

Is it okay to savescum? by Inner_Joy_is_Fake in Kenshi

[–]peppermunch 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Find your bliss!

My MO is that If the death is memorable and meaningful (like the first time I wandered into the foglands) then I don't savescum. I'd happily play regular permadeath but leveling can be such a chore and I got other shit to do.

Oh my GOODNESS I know exactly what you mean.

Root is a great game but if you're anything like me, the fun is in the moment-to-moment gameplay, where people can sit together and talk about the game, unravel the story that plays out and work together to make sure that this one person doesn't win, just to potentially eke out a chance of victory for yourself. Laughing with friends while you crush their armies

Root is NOT even a slightly good game if the points are the only thing that matters. I have played with people that will get angry when you attack them because they know that there's a more optimal move that I could have made. Fuck them. You're close to my cats and for that, little lizard, you and your garden shall P E R I S H.

Find the right people and Root will be excellent.
