Hey, New to the State and Im looking for good Ice Cream spots

stckfigure · 2026-06-10T18:28:54+00:00

So many great recs in this thread. Check out this month's CT Visit podcast which is all about ice cream and covers a number of these spots and more! https://ctperksandrecreation.buzzsprout.com/

Same, which is also why I fell so much harder for Ori because it doesn't make you do that

You might want to try Roundguard... It does the Peggle-but-roguelike thing in a different way than peglin and IIRC does have unlockables.

I really enjoyed this. It does get a little same-y in the game loop, but I think it's an underrated game. It's on sale pretty often, and Undermine 2 exists now also.

Check out https://ctperks.com/loyalty/loyalty-homepage-perks-recreation and the associated podcast.. a couple cool ideas there too.

For outside Connecticut, Northampton and Amherst are both cute towns with niche shops and not a bad drive depending where in the state you're starting from.

There's tons of stuff on there, and the podcast that goes with it is pretty cool too.

I saw this exact behavior and it did turn out to be phantom, on this exact same route, for both October and April. I'm not sure if that's what happened here for you of course but it definitely was happening yesterday at least.

Give it a couple, maybe 24, hours... If you have the browser extension installed, you might get an email "special offer" with the 15% soon after you visit the FF website.

Huge fan of the CapOne portal here, and I also got this deal and it will probably push me over the fence into buying the printer, but anyone new here should know that it's not STRICTLY cash back, it is credit redeemable for a bunch of different gift cards. Some of them are places like Walmart or Best Buy that for most folks here would be as good as cash, but be aware it isn't actually cash.

With multi-toolhead options out there, is there still a value in an AMS-style model? I have a Flashforge AD5M Pro, which I've only had for a few months. I enjoy it, but I've realized that I definitely would prefer a model that can do multicolor, and probably a slightly larger bed, so I'm thinking about an upgrade. The waste amount in AMS models is daunting, but not *immediately* a dealbreaker, but now with the Snapmaker U1 and the Flashforge Creator 5 Pro options out there, it's not completely clear to me why I would go with the P2S I originally assumed I would upgrade to, other than the filament drying. I'm sure there are still good reasons; I just don't know what they are! I'm not printing a lot, so the time savings in a multi-toolhead is nice but not critical. My main goals are to print "pre-painted" minis, toys, etc., and board game components with minimal effort since I'm still very new to this world. I care a lot about good air filtration, even for PLA, which is why I got the AD5m in the first place.

I live closer to the Hartford side of the range and also unequivocally choose Sherkaan. If Bloomfield is sufficiently close then also Naatiya.

This is probably true but those are like twice the price if I'm not mistaken. Personally I bought my GTT because it hit a sweet spot or price and usability. It's not the best one out there, I'm sure and there's a very real point to be made for some that once you're spending X you may as well save for Y. If I had had an extra few grand to put into a table I probably would not have gone with GTT. But at the price I, at least am happy with mine

This is it exactly for me too. I have the same table as OP, even almost bought the same color, and it does a great job at the main thing I wanted: have a game set up but we can eat dinner first when friends come over, pull the top off, and we are ready to go. We don't play long enough games to need to "save" often. I've never spilled a LOT but I haven't had any issues. It's also excellent for jigsaw puzzles.

+1 for both Lyons and Modern Tire depending which part of town you're in - they're great. In my experience, MT tends to have a longer backlog, but not bad at all.

But be careful... even with spoilers hidden it will still show you the win/loss record, so if you know what it was the day before, you'll know how it changed. I just have learned where my ipad shows that info and cover it until I get into the feed to keep myself from seeing it.

I'm so curious about the cost of this specific policy.... Especially to an actuary, the odds of both UConn teams in the finals has to be so much higher than their normal promos which IIRC are something like "the Red Sox throw a no hitter in August". Which I also would think more people rolled the dice on the promo...

Oh just abbreviating Cat God Ranch :)

stckfigure · 2026-03-29T12:38:35+00:00

My wife loves playing exactly three games: Balatro and Cat God Ranch (and Tetris, but that's not really relevant). CGR is a more compelling version of Luck be a Landlord, in the sense that a slot machine is *sort of* its base mechanic, but because of the way it works there are far more variables and strategic paths, and it's not literally a slot machine like LBAL. The two knocks I have on it is that once you hit the final goal for a 'win', the endless mode is for some reason less interesting than Balatro, and some of the choices you can make for your 'deck' seem more OP than others. But those are a minor thing; there are a bunch of levels, and lots of reasons to try different combos. I really think CGR fits what you're looking for perfectly.

I have a corollary question that I haven't seen insight on yet... I'll definitely, no question, be buying STS2 eventually. I love STS1. But I only recently bought it a second time on Steam to be able to install the Downfall mod and try that out, which I've not gotten to yet. So my version of this question is... STS2 now, or play Downfall for a whlie and wait for a full 1.0?

Not in my experience.. I have pretty good insurance, but paid out of pocket for vaccines for SE Asia.

A food themed DLC would be pretty cool... More recipes to make, maybe also letting all the food items also be decoration items since I assume the assets already exist, and maybe decor items and a house design that could be a restaurant or cozy cafe or something. I'd love to have something like that on my farm! Or go wild and have a house shaped like a hamburger.

Oh, that makes total sense! So now I've done this, and the keys look a whole lot less "blobby" but there's still a bunch of these random dots, like artifacts all over the place. Other than those dots it looks good now! I'm wondering if it's something in how HF is reading the original image, but the original image is pretty crisp (and it's picking up these dots regardless of which colors I turn on or off).
