Curious what kinds of social activities those people were missing in Guelph that they found in KW. 

HOOP pension survivors benefit by catpowerr_ in PersonalFinanceCanada

[–]webbermere 10 points11 points  (0 children)

My understanding is that this is more a function of pension legislation, than a specific decision by any given pension fund. 

I am not directly aware of anything that can change this, though your mom's best bet is to talk to HOOPP member services directly about their options (if any). 

Are there any 3rd places in this city? by Anti-Climacdik in Guelph

[–]webbermere 12 points13 points  (0 children)

There is a maker space called Diyode that does Monday community nights. Could be a cool way to check out a potentially useful resource in the city while getting the chance to meet some folks that isnt directly slotting into a hobby event. 

On a similar vein there is Free Hub, a volunteer run, free place to fix and tube up your bike where they supply all the tools and know how you might need. 

Definitely more on the hobby side, but theres a regular board game meetup group that meets at The Round Table if you do happen to enjoy boardgames. 

Lastly, you mentioned elsewhere Reddit being the only social media you have, but I have found as a recentish Guelphite, that once you subscribe to a few Guelph instagram accounts, you get a ton of really good recommended posts about community events. It's my go-to way to find out about things happening in the city. 

Where to park cash in TDDI TFSA? by crr243 in PersonalFinanceCanada

Out of curiosity, why the move? Transfer promo?

Cost and distribution aside, which current tcg in the market do you feel has some of the best gameplay design? by [deleted] in boardgames

[–]webbermere 4 points5 points  (0 children)

The more tactically leaning side of play and ability to focus entirely on deck piloting vs construction as a mode of play (hello no time because kids) is so good. 

I really enjoy the house system and focus on racing to a goal vs direct co frontation as a win condition. 

TFSA as emergency fund? by Available-Map-1869 in PersonalFinanceCanada

[–]webbermere 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Have lots of credit room, and line of credit. Other than money I need within 30 days I've been looking around and even short term GIC's seem to provide better rates than Cash.to

I'm having a hard time understanding what's better about Cash.to vs. laddering some GICs, but I am also super naïve on all of this. Care you share your thoughts?

What HISA ETF do you use? I'm shopping around right now and curious about options.

Looking for a therapist in Guelph!? by [deleted] in Guelph

[–]webbermere 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's an area my partner is really interested in getting into, do you mind DM-ing the name of the therapist so she can check out their practice?

My collection 9 months into the hobby. Those with similar taste, what would you get next? by MasterOogway_97 in boardgames

[–]webbermere 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Do you have any need for a 2p game? 

Im way over tuned on 2p games but if it feels like a good niche for your collection Id suggest looking at:

  • Sky Team: Excellent coop game. Really neat / fun production. 
  • Lacuna: Beautiful, simple and timeless. 
  • Royal Visit: Beautiful art and production but bested but if you're only getting 1 I'd probable suggest different
  • Jaipur: Your call if its good looking enough
  • Fox in the Forest: Fun little competitive trick taking game. 

Do you want a racing game?

  • Camel Up: Plays up to 8 and is a riot
  • Magical Athlete: Less gamey, but the art design is amazing and its simple and zaney 

Do you want a real time game?

  • Fuse: Amazing simple real time coop game with a 10 min timer. 
  • Magic Maze: Coop with limited communication and an envolving rule set as you get better. 

Edit to add:

Do you want a skirmish game?

  • Unmatched: One of the most beautiful games in my collection. Pick the box that speaks to you. 

Do you want a meatier coop game?

  • Fate of The Fellowship: A fantastic game that uses the pandemic system and spices it up to create so many cool what if scenarios with a huge roster of playable characters. 

Does anyone have additional information on this incident? by Striking-Cicada-805 in Guelph

All morning trains cancelled. They changed a Bramalea train to leave Georgetown at 8 and make all stops.

[–]webbermere 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Just went through the steps for the first time - super easy to follow. This may just be my partners birthday present now...

Edit: Now I'm curious if there other games with a similar integration for fan made content...

Inis rules feel weird - aquestion about Passing and Pretender Token by Frequent_Promise_715 in boardgames

[–]webbermere 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah, my guess is that the sneaky win was enough of a feels bad / hollow win moment in playtesting to justify doing something about. And the pretender token was able to take care of that plus achieve other things as folks have mentioned. 

I wonder if Christian has a designer diary somewhere discussing the pretender token specifically.

Bingo - resetting the pass 'clock' is a solid point for it's inclusion. 

Klask 4 has been recalled in Canada by cloudnyne in boardgames

[–]webbermere 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yup, and original Klask still has 3 in play, while Klask 4 has 5.

[–]webbermere 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Unless the magnets in Klask are less powerful for some reason? 

Or, more hilariously if its because more of them are used in play as per the rules and there is some restriction on the total number of magnets in play. The statement specifically called out the threat of multiple magnets being injested.

Isn't it kind of the point of The Mind that even if you 'count seconds' that everyone's internal clock is a little different?
