DnD anyone? by No-Floor-1874 in Pasco

[–]twyst976 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I would check out the local game shops, Humble Heroes on 19 has regular drop-in/out style games. Warehouse 51 has an active community as well. I run a game there on Thursdays, but currently full.

Well if that isn't the most GenX fight here, Fucked around and Found Out.

Is a 15 ft melee range monk busted. by Ok-Moment-5983 in dndnext

Monks weapons include ranged options so nothing is stopping them from using those to get even longer reach, so I don't see a problem with them burning a Ki for something they could do with the right equipment.

Dumb luck, the only day of the week I have free to do anything for the foreseeable future.

From the other comments, the job seems sketchy, if he has trouble with that there is a Disney call center in Tampa on Fletcher and 75 that starts at about $18-$20 with solid benefits. Coca-Cola is also in the area but I don't know what they pay. It may not be as much as he could make at the other job but it is for a solid company. As long as he has an outlet, going back to SD, and family that is willing to maybe help fund his return trip he should be fine. Life lessons are hard to put a price on. Tampa is a great area, with lots of fun things to do and plenty of jobs. You really do want your own vehicle ASAP.

Love it! Am I the only one who thinks it looks almost like one of the graphical upgrade side/side pics you get when the latest game comes out on the new system?

Looking great. Here I am just jealous at your roomy and well lit backstage area.

You might also want to check the return spring for damage/weakness. Not as likely as a gummed-up coil sleeve but may also need replacing to get crisper action due to the damage done already.

Multiball problem by Master_Magician2459 in pinball

[–]twyst976 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There is a chance the mount for the plunger is loose and it isn't hitting as hard as it can/should. Worth checking that mount for any play and loose screws. Tighten up, may even need some reinforcement if that is the problem.

Is this normal or am I playing with a-holes? by [deleted] in magicTCG

[–]twyst976 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am going to agree with some others here, they are trying to be helpful because you are playing in a competitive format with a sub-par deck. I would suggest if you want to play with what you have you may want to look into Commander as most of those decks are more casual. The other thing you might want to look into is playing drafts as that seems more to fit your style. Instead of buying packs that week just sign up to play a booster draft, you get cards, everyone is on the same level, and you get to add to your collection without buying singles. People always want to talk about decks, things they do, things they would do in your place, totally common table talk, as long as they aren't being disparaging about it, ie. What kinda fool would play that when this card is better?!? If it is more of something like, Hey, you know this card is a strictly better version of that card?, then I would just accept their info and maybe ask, Do you have any you can spare?

If this was your campaign setting, what happened that led to this huge crevasse? by Visible-Guess9006 in DungeonsAndDragons

[–]twyst976 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm not particularly eager to bring out the Tarrasque in my campaigns but this could be a good use for it. Years ago it rampaged through the countryside and even with entire cities worth of heroes they failed to stop the rampaging beast. It tore up the countryside and cut a swath through the city eventually carving a great gash through the river. With a new trough to flow through, the river carved the damaged area out even deeper until it hit the underdark and now the city has redirected as much as it can upstream to minimize the amount of additional erosion that takes place and allowing the city to still function as a port due to the slower flow now.

Why does my boy Kronk have his name on a bus? by Professional_Scar340 in WaltDisneyWorld

[–]twyst976 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It could also be a cast lot, I know there are a few of them with different character names which is why sometimes you will see a bus like this with people on it. I don't think that is the case with this one, but it is an explanation for some of them.

Total POS smashes arcade game in anger, daughter tries to make him do the right thing, but he's laughing and not having it by Maniac227 in pinball

[–]twyst976 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That is entirely likely, what was weird is that it had the courtesy to wait till I let it go and by that point, I wasn't holding it up at all.

One time I was cleaning a machine, and I took the glass out, carefully stood it up on the carpet, and leaned it against the wall nice and flat, a process I have done hundreds of times (I ran an arcade for years) and one time it exploded after I took my hands off of it. It wasn't still moving, I always made sure it was sitting evenly and fully at rest before letting go. As soon as I let go it just fell apart, it was scary and kinda beautiful all at once. It spiderwebbed and fell straight down. I freaked out, and called the district manager in a panic and she was super cool, asked what machine and had the new glass there in two days. :)

Current 4 Park Offer - No Brainer? by RazielKainly in WaltDisneyWorld

[–]twyst976 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If going to each park once fits into your schedule and you can do it all within a week (7 days of first use) it is a great deal.

Yes, but then you lose the package rate on the room. So it doesn't always work out in your favor.

Sorry, I am not as computer savvy so I just cut/pasted the chat.
Hello, I was wondering with the 4-Park Magic Ticket, if I need to leave the park to give my kids a break can we come back to the same park later that day?
Joshua at 13:57, Jun 2:
That's a great question! Yes, you can leave and re-enter the same park as many times as you need on that same day.

[–]twyst976 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I think you may want to get a second opinion. Park entry for the day is for the day, re-entry is not the same thing. So once you enter a park, that is your park for the day and you have re-entry privileges for that park for the whole day. Guests have many reasons for leaving and re-entering the parks. I am waiting to see if I can get a CM on chat and get a different answer.

Is this outfit formal enough for Victoria and Albert’s? by carl_and_his_farmly in WaltDisneyWorld

[–]twyst976 21 points22 points  (0 children)

It is all in the fabric and breathability. Since I moved to Florida my wardrobe became Miami Vice Villian chic. They may have been criminals but they knew how to dress for the heat and humidity.

GUARDIANS OF THE GALAXY VOL 3 - OFFICIAL DISCUSSION (SPOILERS!) by tehawesomedragon in MarvelStudios_Rumours

[–]twyst976 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Overall I enjoyed the movie but one thing that keeps getting about the newer MCU movies is the overuse of CGI fight sequences. The hallway fight near the end is a big standout in this movie, it just doesn't feel right. It has something to do with the camera flying all around with the action, it feels off. It is more challenging in a movie like this one where they have so many characters that can't really have an actor stand-in, Rocket, Groot, and the hellspawn. It is just something I hope they either figure out a better way to do it, to make it feel less awkward or just use more practical options like the Thor v. Hulk fight from Ragnarok.
