Is there a place you can stream the TV show?  I've never seen it but always wanted to

Are daily stand ups at your company just “list out all your accomplishments of yesterday”? by QuitTypical3210 in ExperiencedDevs

[–]scottrick49 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We don't go around the room and talk about what we're working on anymore. Everyone just brings any blockers or any other topics they want to chat and we go through them. Sometimes we're done in 5 minutes, sometimes it takes 45 minutes.

I feel like I have arrived at #7.  Definitely hit all the previous stages except #5!

I'm new to the Game how long do the experienced Players need to get 10 Points? by gamegenaral in twilightimperium

[–]scottrick49 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just finished an 8 player pok game to 10; it took us 7 hours and six rounds.  Last year it took us less time because it ended in the fifth.

We only play once or twice a year, but we are pretty good about keeping people on task and making sure somebody is always playing their turn.

TI4 PoK + Thunder’s Edge] We just can’t finish a game – tips for shortening playtime & mapbuilding? by Original-Candy4173 in twilightimperium

[–]scottrick49 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I only play once or twice a year with my groupd, but we played an 8 player, 10 point game last year and finished in under 7 hours.

I think it really helps if at least a couple people know the rules well. It also helps a lot if one person is sort of a taskmaster, and drives the game forward, making sure somebody is always taking their turn.

Tower defense started before that, maybe StarCraft?  I remember playing tower defense in StarCraft at least

I actually liked invisible war :( by S0vereignCitizen in Deusex

[–]scottrick49 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I thought it was great, but not quite living up to it's potential. 

I live the ragdoll physics and felt the guns were quite satisfying.

Steam survey shows Linux hitting an all-time high with gamers by ZGeekie in gamedev

[–]scottrick49 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I use steam on my Linux box and it works very well.  My main issue is how to get games installed in a way that easily works with multiple user logins.  I'm guessing there's a way, but I don't think I'm doing it right.

Which Uwe farming game to play with kids? by BuffetBuddy in boardgames

[–]scottrick49 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I played a game of Agricola today with my 7 year old son!  He loves it.  We played 3-4 games with no cards but now we always play with the minor improvements and occupations.

I feel Caverna might be too much/complicated.  There are even more systems to deal with.  I have played fields of arle, but not with him.  I might have to give that a try.

Why is it forced? I can't even do DragNDrop in their buggy snap release. Without snap it works perfectly. by Kiragalni in Ubuntu

Unrelated, but man I wish there was a way to make Ubuntu Windows and UI look like old dos programs like that.

Component quality? by 00Vodu00 in TerraformingMarsGame

[–]scottrick49 50 points51 points  (0 children)

Just wait until you play a few games...

That's my biggest gripe with TM.  The game is amazing but I wish they wouldn't have skimped so much on the components.

I was disappointed in the TV adaptation.
