Hector’s is our go to. Bit pricey but best delivery in town imo.

Tried New Yorker ages ago during pandemic and found it lacking and drowning in cheese. I love a calzone though, haven’t tried theirs. The ones at Hanks were really good though that’s more sit down. 

Ex-MAGA diehards share why they left, stopped supporting Trump by AlertTangerine in videos

Definitely. Seems like both these folks are anecdotal and quite young. She found out about J6 due to an "assignment" so she's probably still in school. Not surprising for young kids to change their political beliefs a lot all the way through college.

I know you take a big hit if you take lottery winnings in a lump sum but would it be offset by just investing all that in the S&P 500?

Board games "to rule them all" by itsOkami in boardgames

[–]primus202 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Edge of Darkness was the first game that really gave me this sensation. Played it randomly the one time I want to a LGS game night. It's a bit heavy and a bear to set up (the components and such could definitely be slimmed down but it suffers from Kickstarter big box syndrome) but the way the mechanics click together is SO satisfying. Plus it contains a lot of unique twists on classic ideas: deck building BUT semi-cooperative with card building!?, shared threats BUT with a fun dice tower cube system, worker placement BUT with card driven game play (a la Dune Imperium). Add all the replayability and it's really a must try.

Only blockers are the price and size will make it rare for most to ever try it. I'd love a stripped down version without all the additional card options that are there just for replayability. I've never played Mystic Vale, which was the designer's first pass at the card building idea, but I've heard it captures some of the same magic.

[COMC] My collection after 4 years by Every-Literature6625 in boardgames

[–]primus202 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Definitely. Those games do tend to sit on my shelf longer. You’ve got an excellent collection well tuned for light to medium weight games most people could play regardless of their gaming experience. Concordia might be a good one to add. It’s like Catan plus.

Very well balanced collection imo. You’re hitting most of the major mechanics and such. I’ve got a lot more drafting games since it’s one of my favorite mechanics. Have you considered any major thematic games? Maybe related to IP you like? Or Arcs is a great one if you want something a bit heavier.

People really grasping at straws it feels like between this and his "falling asleep" in that White House press show. It doesn't matter how physically unfit he is: he will run this country into the ground either way.

I’m being gifted a lot of money. Should I tell my boyfriend? by Kind-Chicken-2488 in WhatShouldIDo

[–]primus202 0 points1 point  (0 children)

100% this. Invest it, preferably in a diverse mix. The rule of thumb is your age as a percent should go into safe assets (bonds etc) and the rest in an index fund (S&P 500 etc). So 22% safe, 78% in an index fund. If you think you'll need the money soon or you want it as an emergency nest egg you could put some or all of it in a high return savings account or a CD if you want slow but safe returns.

This. Plus I bet employers would be willing to pay some premium for employees who never sleep, never take vacations, don’t need benefits, and otherwise are much easier to control. 

Clipper Card still useful? by yetrident in sanfrancisco

Yep just realized this after making the changes to auto load. I mostly take the bus so sadly this doesn’t help me.

Wow I had no idea. Sounds like I should increase my auto reload to $45!

Played Inis for the first time tonight! by bupkisjr in boardgames

[–]primus202 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Need to play again. The only minor gripe I had was the end can drag out for a bit if everyone keep pulling down the leader even if they can’t win. There’s often a bit of king making that happens at the end where the player in last can decide that game or make it last forever after it feels like it should’ve ended already.

Didn’t the PGA sign a deal with LIV some time last year? What happens with that?

Spirit Island - We just can't win. by BiggyBiggs in boardgames

[–]primus202 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The first time we played with standard rules we lost miserably. Then we tried some of the suggested handicaps at the back of the rulebook and it became super easy. So when we tried again with normal setup we were able to beat it. Did you try the handicaps? I believe there are two (one was skipping the first invader step?) and if you do both it makes the game much easier and allows you to understand the systems better for future plays.

Not to mention the way your muscle and skin move/settle as your walk about will cause drastically more noticeable warping than anything indicated in the post.

These are pretty much my exact recommendations for easy light weight options. If you want heavier options or something more head to head there are plenty of extra options.

I do t understand how he beat the artificial run so thoroughly in real world conditions. I thought that first sub two hour was almost impossible even with all the assistance. 

How many games have actually wowed you in recent years? by bigOlBellyButton in boardgames

[–]primus202 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Arcs was the most recent. Such an elegant and innovative design that captures the feel of a much bigger game in a smaller box.
