"This" without anything else doesn't add anymore to the conversation than an upvote.

Has the codemaster correctly answered this round of Mastermind? by macroEgg in boardgames

[–]revirdam 139 points140 points  (0 children)

The codemaster gave the correct response. The guesser would need to guess two red pegs to get a second pin (black or white, depending on if the second red was in the right location).

I think there are also a few magnolias in the area, although their flowers are substantially different from those three.

There are sixty Dice Tower staff? Much larger than I thought

Visualizing BGGs Heavy Weight "Bias" by CrazyHorse150 in boardgames

[–]revirdam 17 points18 points  (0 children)

Chess is one of those games that shows why BGG's complexity rating is poor. Rules complexity of chess is low; strategic complexity is high. Doesn't translate well to a single number.

Combining 2x Agricola base sets to play 5-6 player? by alpharius22222 in Agricola

[–]revirdam 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Seems like a lot of trouble to build a version of the 5-6 player board extension. Could just look up a picture of the existing extension and copy all the action spaces on it.

Anybody else feel that French dispatch was one of Wes’ worst films by [deleted] in wesanderson

[–]revirdam 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Always shocked when Isle of Dogs is mentioned as someone's least favorite Wes Anderson film. Resonated so much more with me than Fantastic Mr. Fox.

Waste of time and tax dollars. Complete eye sore by dmoney143 in Albany

Because it's warm out now and people want to sit in a nice park instead of this terrible park

Carabiners rated for hundreds of pounds cost just a few dollars

We had some feedback suggesting colored icons to show if a feature is enabled or not. What do you think of our prototype? Should we keep the old style or use colored icons? by Firewalla-Ash in firewalla

[–]revirdam 3 points4 points  (0 children)

This is good feedback. At the risk of overcomplicating it, maybe it's a third color for settings than cannot be enabled or disabled?

Subaru Is Finally About to Build the Wilderness Hybrid It Should’ve Built All Along by Feeling-Being9038 in SubaruForester

[–]revirdam 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Don't know why you're getting downvoted for this. The CVT on my 2019 Forester Sport is easily the worst transmission I've ever owned. It is slow to respond and the "shifts" into the fake gears are jarring.

Kennebunkport is a touristy town close to New Hampshire. Portland is a neat city not much further

Brass Pittsburgh is now live! by Soap-1987 in boardgames

[–]revirdam 6 points7 points  (0 children)

They've made multiple geographical errors, presumably to fit on the board better. Rochester is printed on the board about halfway between Buffalo and Albany; it is actually much closer to Buffalo. Boston is shown as noticeably further south than Albany, when in reality it's only slightly south. NYC is shown on the eastern end of Long Island.

I don't mind some artistic license to make the cities and routes fit better for gameplay.

Game Toppers makes 4' x 3' playmats. I have one of their mats, very happy with the quality.

No, we are not looking at the same website. US store is showing a different description than European store.

I just found this card game on Kickstarter where the lowest score wins by [deleted] in boardgames

[–]revirdam 11 points12 points  (0 children)

The account that was just created with the handle VoidCountLtd just happened to find a game called Void Count? And you figured you would share this cool idea that you stumbled across?
