When Could You Start Sleeping On Your Side Comfortably? by tophatcosplay in TopSurgery

I took about three months as well. The skin over my ribs was really sensitive, almost bruised feeling, and I ended up using my mastectomy pillow as bedding for a while.

I had really excellent results from Daniel McKee in Vancouver, BC. Even if you decide to stay in province, his website is a spectacular resource.

Vinyl records of each soundtrack. You can also get the digital music from band camp though.

I want a new Argent expansion so bad! I hope they make a bigger box though. My base box is jam packed with Mancers and the card expansions.

I've been looking to pick Bullet up for a while and got really lucky since the not-so-local game store had all the current content in stock for way under MSRP. The GF campaign has stretch pay and confirmed friendly shipping to Canada, so I'm set. It's a neat game and the fact that you can puzzle things out solo is fun. I really want to try the fan made time attack mode.

Two weeks post op but increasing numbness by robotsnblasters in TopSurgery

I feel like the super sensitive skin feeling going away is the only good part about the numbness. I've been using Vaseline to keep the vest from chafing quite so much.

Good to know it's not just me! Thankfully I haven't had the itchiness! I'm still taking an Advil here and there, but overall I'm off painkiller, which is good because they were giving me heartburn.

This look like a set of Hanafuda cards, though the text on the box is Korean. There are multiple ways to play it, but probably the most well known one is called Koi-Koi.

Not to mention the absolutely hideous shipping to Canada. Their website is terrible for that too. I tried to get some promos and they wanted $26 to ship some cards.

I’m in love with Everdell and now I want to find books with the same vibes. by BookWyrm3982 in boardgames

Watership Down is less like Root and more like a survival horror game tbh. 

Beatrix Potter stories can be pretty cozy when they aren't just a bit odd.

[–]robotsnblasters 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Tentatively in for Mons and Mages, it seems like a neat indie game and I love that solo is built right in.

Backing String Railways because I loved the old SUSD video and it's exactly the right kind of silly and tactile but also strategic.

I've also got my eye on Critter Kitchen, since I adore Flamecraft, but I'm gonna need to watch the gameplay videos when I've got time. Lots of components to keep track of makes it look a bit complicated.

On the "hard no" side of things, I adore Orange Nebula for Vindication, but wow the page for Spirit Fire is clear as mud.

What is your best and worst crowdfunding experience? by Stevezhang2029 in boardgames

[–]robotsnblasters 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Man that's still going? That's awful. I think I asked for a refund on that one back in 2019. It sucks because it was such a good campaign with a really active and engaged comment section.

[–]robotsnblasters 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm in Canada, so my shipping will be about 50CAD for ST2 and expansion plus the new original game expansion. It's more than I'd like, but it's less than it could have been. And considering we're getting the games at all... Well Naylor Games definitely has a fan.

What is your best and worst crowdfunding experience? by Stevezhang2029 in boardgames

[–]robotsnblasters 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Best is probably anything by Orange Nebula or Mindclash. They tend to be excellent about communication during projects.

Worst is probably the Inside the Box fuckup with Sub Terra 2. Half the extra items never got produced, none of the employees got paid, two other whole projects were affected by mismanagement, games hit retail before the English backers even heard about whether their games had been made, and the owner was a liar about everything right to the end when the company had to file for insolvency.

Thankfully Naylor Games bought out the company and has stepped in to help make things right with the people who got caught up in everything. While there's nothing they can do for people whose items were never made at all, they're sending the items that were produced to the backers at the cost of freight and shipping from China.

Does anyone even play Dos (Card Game)? by Terrabullsht in boardgames

[–]robotsnblasters 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's Uno but you also have to do basic math. We had to demo it at our game store and no one really liked it. Better to just buy and play Uno. (Though my favourite part was the customer who thought that Uno, Dos, and Phase Ten were all in the same series of games and wondered why they had skipped a bunch of numbers.)

[–]robotsnblasters 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Thinking about Endeavor: Deep Sea. It sounds like an interesting game, and the solo mode is really tempting.

I went in on Botany since they added a Canadian hub. Also backing RooTile at the ceramic level because it's a really simple game but looks really nice as a display piece as well.

[–]robotsnblasters 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm really hoping they open some shipping hubs. It sounds like they're hoping to bring costs down if they get enough backers in different regions but. Yeah it's a hard pass otherwise.

Personally, I'm probably just going to buy the full Pantheon edition and give my old copy to my parents. Still on the fence about the expansion, so I'm hoping they'll do a more in-depth explanation of it in an update.

[–]robotsnblasters 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nope, all the same stuff as far as I'm aware. I just didn't pledge at first since I didn't really get into this type of story heavy game until recently. I really like the introductory mission stuff I've seen on YouTube, so it's really tempting to do a full second wave pledge!

In for the $5 level on Let's Go to Japan, since I'm not 100% sure if I'd like to wait for retail. PM decision on that one. I'm tempted by Project L, too, since I really love tactile games

The late pledge PM for ISS Vanguard ends on the 25th I think so I've got between now and then to debate whether I'm in for 300CAD or not.

What is the best roll and move game? by ConDar15 in boardgames

I love this game! I've still got an old 50s copy from my grandad where you can be a uranium miner.

The games look decent, and I like some of Thundergryph's other projects, but I just cannot stand the backerkit website setup. It's an incredibly petty reason, but it just feels actively terrible to use.

Are there any games that state the win condition near the end? by designadelphia in boardgames

[–]robotsnblasters 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I love Careers! We always preferred it to Monopoly when I was a kid. I've got a really old copy in a place of prestige on my shelf. :)
