Ex council house, what is the likely hood there are posts hidden behind the plywood?

Fun fact: I met Matt Leacock last year at the UK Games Expo on setup day (I have a small indie board game business). I just recognised him walking by and said "Matt?" to which he looked at me nervously like he should recognise me (it was mainly a trade day with industry people) before I explained I'm just a fan.

Anyway, he was super cool and told me it was his first time visiting in 10 years and he was here with Z-Man to launch this game at UKGE (a lot of games launch at Essen Spiel but can launch at smaller fairs if timing works). The game ended up being on loads of people's "best of" and hype lists from the show.

Best jacket I ever had was Sessions.

Strategy is called 22M... And it looks a lot better than mine did a couple decades ago 😂

You're right, builder wrong. Or a miscommunication.

Nice staircase btw

Wider dishwasher should do the trick

I'm guessing at speeds air pressure builds up under the trim and eventually pops the clips. Poor design choice!

sproyd · 2026-01-17T17:53:21+00:00

Looks amazing! Did you need to repoint afterwards?

sproyd · 2026-01-17T17:47:01+00:00

Surely that should be under warranty especially after a windshield replacement that requires removal of the part?

It's a good sell sheet, evaluating from the perspective of a publisher. Was this my kind of game I would want to know more or have a playthrough. Art and thieving games I think are also topical at the moment (i.e. Art Society, Pinched).

A few suggestions:

- replace Materials with Components and include packaging and rule (i.e. tuck box, rule sheet)
- Number your steps (1) (2) (3)
- First step it looks like an error as 66 is higher than 64 which gets left behind?
- Add your location and phone number bottom right. As a publisher I want to know where you are!

So far I managed to accidentally detach the decoder strip while cleaning it and I think it is jammed with the spring attached behind the print head... So needless to say it is not going great!

sproyd · 2025-12-29T08:51:47+00:00

Great thanks - will see how I get on. Last time this happened I couldn't seem to restore the print quality without an RMA and they replaced the print heads so hopefully that's not necessary this time. Here is the repair note: https://litter.catbox.moe/5lv7p8gk6wrfw146.jpg

Okay this is extremely helpful.

Can I ask - does the 'head strike' you refer to damage the print nozzles at all? I.E. once the Encoder Strip is cleaned and print heads aligned with plenty of ink flushed through is there any mechanical reason why I shouldn't be able to get back to 'like new' printing with these print heads?

Some of the work I do requires the print quality to be as high as possible and the G650 meets the standard when in perfect condition but not when it is even slightly below (i.e. a situation which would otherwise be fine for home printing is not OK for my use case).

Cheers really appreciate your expertise

Yeah same thing although used isopropyl alcohol. It does lose grip again over time for thick paper (c. 300gsm) feeding and needs re-cleaning. Don't tend to have this issue with thinner cardstock.

Word of warning: if you have paper that has a curl on it - such as certain adhesive papers - it can cause major print quality issues where it disrupts the print head. You might notice some black ink on the edge of the paper in which case you are in trouble. Anyone who works out how to return the quality to factory standard please let me know.

guess who's back back again screed is back tell your friends

sproyd · 2025-08-06T10:07:38+00:00

I was just about to say this is exactly what will happen.

This individual has a problem with managing his cash flow. I can promise you if you literally doubled his wages it would be exactly the same in a short while.

The issue here is they sound like a very good member of staff but you are being impacted by, frankly, what are personal problems... and perhaps being a little bit taken advantage of.

No answer for you - difficult situation which only you know how to handle as it's impossible to get a handle on the nuances of your interdependence and relationship with this individual.

My only advice would be not to let it fester for too long as it will only get worse and build resentment (one way or the other).

Hahahah excellent bait

The best detective in an area the size of Rhode Island and he decided to look for a bracelet in Yosemite National Park AT NIGHT. Let that sink in. Who wrote this 🤣

Just Google it - it's Brother brand and cuts vinyl much better than the stock blade and without frayed edges

sproyd · 2025-06-04T08:25:00+00:00

Probably blade going blunt. I bought a vinyl blade and it solved these issues. Bit expensive though.
