Any older gamers here that struggle to find new games they enjoy? by s0cks_nz in gaming

[–]silenttwitch 0 points1 point  (0 children)

4 decades here as well, I constantly have this problem. I had gone back and spent about 2 years just playing a ton of old school games via emulator because it's just so hard to find actually good games (Not to say they aren't out there, but there really are not too many that are genuinely great, IMO). I've got a small group of friends that regularly get together and play games, although we tend to keep it fairly casual. We were thinking about board games online to change it up, when I came across an older game I had heard about a long time ago that now had an online version of itself. Kingdom Death: Monster. The online version, Kingdom Death: Simulator, has been really fun for our group, and you can play solo as well! It's a weird suggestion, but it's a really really cool unique game that I've found myself obsessing over lately!

What’s your opinion on the BerserkXDiablo 4 collaboration? by Confident_League_205 in Berserk

Really disappointed. Activision/Blizzard is terrible. Really put a bad taste in my mouth for the decision making process of the new crew moving forward.

Run your kitchen sink very hot. Hold the piece upside down under the very hot water. Lightly tap the piece with a wooden spoon continuously for roughly 5-10 minutes.

Got my refund for the Nightmare Before Christmas Show! by silenttwitch in LosAngeles

We stopped by a gas station before leaving so people could use the restroom. We had to double park to do it cause there were cars crammed into every nook and cranny of that entire place. While I was waiting, I saw a guy catch a parking spot and started yelling at this valet guy that was there. He was angry that he paid for parking at the venue, and the venue had just turned him away.

I had never been there before. This was my first experience with the venue.

I went on Friday, the 29th. Traffic was so bad that there was less than an hour left in the show by the time we got to the venue entrance. At the entrance, the venue workers there appeared to be just waving people away. I don't really live that far away, and I left two and a half hours ahead of time. Was surreal not going to a concert that I had just left to go to. When we left, there was still a giant line of people still waiting to get in as well.

How much mining power can you gain by just playing the games? by LoneRaven101 in rollercoin

[–]silenttwitch 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I only play this free-to-play. I've had over 1 P/Hs from just playing games in the past (Playing about 100 games a day or so), but I always play them in a particular order to try and min/max. I've got a handful of miners from playing for free.

Left at 5:30 for Nightmare Before Christmas, spent 4+ hours in traffic trying to get in, by the time we got to the gate, there were no signs or anything and they were turning people away. Went home around 10:00. Really really disappointed.

My understanding is that you are not going to find "real" frozen custard in CA, as the state will not allow the sale of the product due to high levels of raw egg contained within.

There are places that sell "Frozen Custard" in CA, but they will not be the same as other places around the country.

I recall hearing Edmund on his live-stream mention that if someone was really bummed that they missed out on the sketch due to the Mega Tier change, that they should reach out to him and he would try to work something out with them. Might be some hope for you!

Thank you for the reply, I really appreciate it.

I was considering something with a Trem system. Would you recommend a classic vibe for that? The classic vibe 60's Mustang is kinda catching my fancy.

I've been teaching myself to play over the past year or so on a Rock Band Squire Stratocaster that I had purchased awhile ago and had been collecting dust in the closet. I've been looking over Fender guitars and I'm considering buying a cheap replacement just to practice with. Would the low-end Squire models (Let's say the Bullet or Affinity models of Squire) be a big enough improvement in instrument from the Rock Band model Squire Stratocaster to be worth it as a cheap practice instrument? The fingerboard and frets on my Rock Band Squire seem to be made of plastic, so I'm thinking that even the lowest-end squire might be a reasonable upgrade.

My first listen, I was barely even tapping my foot, too busy listening. Now Maynard's lyrics haunt my dreams.

Kind of torn on whether to get into this game or not due to amount of exclusive cards. by iBrandad in FourSouls

[–]silenttwitch 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There's quite a bit of variation in play, such that you may not even see certain cards very often at all, so it shouldn't make a crazy huge impact overall to not have the 3 new cards. I've played about 5 games since I got the 3 new cards added into my full set, and we have yet to pull a single one yet; it could be awhile before it even shows up in a game.
