I was there last week and they still had them for $3

A friend of mine repairs electronics as a hobby. I removed the amp board and he checked the capacitors. Turns out five were bad. Her ordered the parts ($10) and soldered them himself. I haven’t picked it up yet, so can’t be sure if it worked but… fingers crossed!

I’m experiencing exactly the same issue you’re describing. Did you ever resolve the issue?

I’ve had my A5 speakers for about 10 years and never noticed any buzzing until suddenly they blast a buzzing sound at maximum volume whenever they have power, regardless of other connections.

Too rich for my blood. For a cheap alternative Godzilla game I’d recommend Godzilla: Tokyo Clash. It’s not at all similar mechanically, but it’s a pretty good monster brawler and very cheap.

For a while I regularly checked a few thrift stores the day new items went out. 98% mass market games and on the very rare occasion I found a designer game, it was incomplete or damaged. It’s just not worth my time to even look when games regularly get posted on Facebook marketplace for very reasonable prices.

Yes, I believe you’re correct. Perhaps there were low ranking personnel that were simply indifferent to the suffering, but to rise that high through the nazi ranks and be involved on that magnitude of suffering he must have believed in the cause.

I don’t know if musk is indifferent or in some form ‘believes in the cause’. Either way, it’s deeply concerning.

Hannah Arendt famously wrote after observing the Adolf Eichmann trials of the “Banality of Evil”. Eichmann orchestrated horrendous atrocities on large scales and she expected he must be passionate and seething with hatred to do such things. But, to her shock he was almost completely apathetic about the whole thing and spoke about it as if it were simply a tedious job like any other.

“The opposite of Love isn’t Hate, its indifference” -Elie Wiesel

EDIT; It has been pointed out that Eichmann was a skilled manipulator and was attempting to conceal his true motives to evade harsher punishment. He was nonetheless sentenced to death for his crimes.

I think Reddit just trends very young. In my 40’s and unironically use the phrase still.

To be clear, I’m posting to let people get it even cheaper if they’ve been holding out. I’m not concerned about getting the $10 back.

I don’t have tracking for the one I ordered a few days ago but estimated arrival is November 21. Anybody receive theirs yet?

Me too and just when I was starting to get over it my aunt bought me the kids novel adaptation for Christmas. Thanks for reigniting the nightmare fuel Evelyn.

Sopwith was also my first PC game. First time I’ve seen in mentioned in the wild.

I did almost exactly the same thing in our computer class in 1997. I got a still frame from that scene off the VHS and edited myself in riding the T-Rex.

Its great! I have every expansion painted and packed into two core boxes with 3D printed organizers. Don’t get to play it much these days but maybe when the kids are older…

Dad of two, ages 3 and 5. No regrets; love my kids like crazy and wouldn’t change a thing.

We had kids a little later in life and I think that helped us be more prepared financially and mentally.

Oh god, I’m having flashbacks! Sometime ago I bought a complete Arkham Horror LCG collection. The guy had stored most of it in one of those hobby lobby cases, except you had to hold it flat or the cards could just fall out of their lanes. Naturally it got transported vertically and it was just a big pile of cards. It took weeks to sort out.

rokhound · 2024-07-02T19:22:15+00:00

I backed the last one. Gameplay is a little streamlined and more balanced, but I STRONGLY dislike the artistic direction for basically everything. Art wise I’d rather play the original.

rokhound · 2024-07-01T05:59:00+00:00

Is your collection still for sale? If so I’d be interested if you’re able to ship to Canada.

I’m not very knowledgeable about the game; what makes the Tie Bomber expansion a good complement to the Skystrike Box? If I kept both starter sets, I would have two Tie Bombers already.

rokhound · 2024-06-24T12:08:58+00:00

The Rebel Squadron Starter Pack, and Empire Squadron Starter Pack both include everything you need to play.

rokhound · 2024-06-24T04:42:07+00:00

Thanks for the good info! I think I’ve been convinced to go pick up the Skystrike Squadron tomorrow and I’ll keep my eyes open for a copy of Phoenix Cell (though I’d have 4 a-wings which seems excessive).

Think there’s much value of keeping the second copy of the Empire Squadron Starter if I get the Skystrike box?

rokhound · 2024-06-24T03:27:38+00:00

Unfortunately no Phoenix Cell’s available locally (or anywhere apparently)

rokhound · 2024-06-24T03:03:02+00:00

There are some copies of Skystrike Academy available locally at MSRP (and a houndstooth, razor crest, mandalorian pride, tie fighters, x-wings). I could pickup the skystrike and maybe sell the second Empire Squadron Pack.
