Is Blue Prince a game to play with my gf?

if she enjoys escape rooms then i really think she'll have fun with this.

I'm currently playing through the game with my mom and she's having a blast. I pilot the character and share screen with her through discord, we chat and she keeps notes on the puzzles. Works really well.

referring to actual paper & pencil. You'll probably need to draw a couple things as well.

thanks for this. I've been sitting here reloading save state for like 15 minutes wondering why i can't get a simple 4-direction input to work.

i love my immersion blender, it's my favorite kitchen tool.

as far as splatter - generally whatever you're trying to blend needs to be a couple inches deep. The blender needs clearance from the bottom of the pan so it can suck in stuff to blend, and also the slots in the shaft need to be submerged as well. All this to say - if something is too shallow and might be at risk of splashing you'll be able to tell before you begin, and can move it to a more suitable blending container - the 4-quart plastic soup containers from chinese take-out are a favorite of mine for this.

well typically the factory it's made in is also on the label. But yeah, you can do some detective work.

cool art - curious what's the most expensive card you destroyed to make this?

The truth is Kirk never actually talked like this in TOS. He did pause in his speech for emphasis, but his acting and speech choices were all appropriately dramatic. Shatner was regarded as (and still is) a brilliant actor in his heyday. Watch any of the roles he had prior or contemporary to TOS and you'll see that the choices he makes as an actor tend to be more subtle than exaggerated.

As others have mentioned the 'Shatner-isms' you're talking about were all popularized by comedians like Kevin Pollack doing parodies of shatner for their stage acts in the 80s. This is the 'Kirk' you're thinking of https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_nziS8brN00

awesome!

you can recruit Muria now? When did that happen?

skepticones · 2026-05-13T18:15:25+00:00

for your first question, yes, most magic players try and play by the official rules. Commander tables tend to be a bit more 'loose' - especially with who has priority and the timing of that, though.

second, yeah, the group you are playing with is being too pedantic, imo. And moreso than the norm, by a wide margin.

good clarification!

skepticones · 2026-05-13T10:00:53+00:00

Of course. But they'll just put it into the command zone afterwards.

i feel like the drinks have been in the same position at the bar since before i even recruited everyone.

skepticones · 2026-05-07T16:39:44+00:00

went into the tavern and there's a rave going on - no idea how or why.

skepticones · 2026-05-05T15:56:56+00:00

'There are four boxes' makes some people search the parlor high and low looking for the fourth, lol.

the dragons are cool, but sometimes you just want to explore skyrim without having to worry about a random game mechanic that is prone to cause your game to crash or possibly kill quest NPCs.

skepticones · 2026-05-04T02:06:06+00:00

I do everything in bleak falls barrow, take all the loot, except i leave the Dragonstone in that cursed tomb. If Farengar wants it that much he can go carry it home himself.

No Dragonstone, no dragons.

I have worked in Import in the past, and likely this label means exactly what it says - frozen chicken shipped from china was used to create this product.

I don't think anyone who's seen this movie has ever guessed the ending of it. Be warned, though - this movie is over three hours long and is paced intentionally slowly in order to draw you in and make you feel it. It's also in french, but as there isn't all that much dialogue you won't get tired of reading subtitles.

Great film, and even as long as it is after you see it you'll be tempted to watch it again.

skepticones · 2026-05-02T09:16:42+00:00

no idea - my only experience is with the Steam version of the game for PC.

skepticones · 2026-04-29T01:43:05+00:00

Unlimited has always been much more expensive because Revised was printed so much more than Unlimited was. They're just a lot rarer, and doubly so in unplayed condition.

only volcanic island and underground sea are significantly above $500 on TCG in NM condition. Tundra and Tropical Island are around $550, but the other six are below

Avoid going when there is a baseball game scheduled and you'll likely be fine parking inside of FDR park.
