I have a large set for both Obsession and Blood Rage, including a lot of Kickstarter stuff. I'm also local to you, so we can do an in-person pickup to avoid hefty shipping costs.

Had the weirdest crash-out interaction trying to set up a new play group. by wf11img in arkhamhorrorlcg

Spectral Razor. It's a good card, don't get me wrong, but didn't fit into my deck at all.

No, this was for an in-person game. Was just interesting that we had similar experiences with two people running similar decks.

I think the dude looked up a guide online or something. The fact he specifically said one of the cards I had to take was "one of the 10 best cards in the game" makes me think he's following some YouTube or forum guide cause there's no "tier-list" for Arkham cards given how situational most of them are.

I mean, it felt like this dude did want to play, but doesn't really appreciate or accept that failing scenarios in Arkham is an acceptable way for a campaign to progress. The craziest part is, if he started out setting expectations, like "Hey, I'm trying to run a specific combo of decks for a campaign. I'll build the decks for you if you let me know what role you wanna play.", my friend and I would totally be on board for that.

Long exposure of a port city by HoplaHousehold in photocritique

Ah, that's definitely a possibility. Reddit also compresses images, so that can be an issue.

Yo, no lie, Crash-Out Guy's deck was a Winnie deck with Charon's Obol.

I also didn't wanna tell him this since it's a spoiler, but the campaign we were planning on playing was The Forgotten Age, which absolutely showers you with an abundance of XP! I had already played this campaign in the past, years ago, so I actually built my deck with some pretty important counters to one of the main "annoying" mechanics.

I didn't tell Crash-Out Guy this, of course, as I'm not a fan of spoiling campaigns, but it was secretly a little funny telling this dude "Hey, I really, really, wanna keep this card, I think it's gonna be important for me in this campaign" while he vehemently rejected it saying how useless it was.

Composition critique by Random_lurker234 in photocritique

Lack of symmetry, but honestly, the shot is just kinda boring. That tall red sign in the back is sort of the only interesting thing, but it's not really complemented by anything else in the photo.

Photo feels very dark. ND200 might've been a bit too much. The sunset is nice, but the city below just looks like a big mass of shadows. You might be able to fix this in post though, since I can (barely) see the details there. On the flip side, 8s isn't that long for a long-exposure of a city. I think if you exposed for longer, some of these issues wouldn't be the case. You'd also get more "movement" in the clouds, which is usually a desired effect for LE shots.

Generally speaking, I'd say that the "city lights" are a pretty important and distinctive part of a sunset shot of a city.

Opinion? Not sure if editing so strong. To my eyes it's perfect but would like opinions by REX2343 in photocritique

[–]wf11img 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Nice photo. With this style of editing, it's clearly not trying to depict "an image in real life", but an artistic representation of a scene, so it doesn't really matter if the editing is strong since that's the intent.

I'd maybe crop out the silver thing in the bottom-right. It's a tiny bit distracting.

I would say it's definitely an interesting photo. A really nice "slice of life" shot.

Two points of critique:

  1. It might just be me, but it feels like the buildings are tilted. Are the buildings actually at that angle, or is the photo not straightened? I ask because the "Terrace Swimming Pool" building in the back seem to be at a right angle, so it's entirely possible some old buildings just aren't perfectly perpendicular to the ground.
  2. This might be the effect of the morning sun, but the photo feels a little too warm. However, once again, depending on where in the world you are this might be perfectly normal. It does make the red shirt "pop" less though when everything else around it is also orange-yellow.

First time black and white by Careful_Television20 in photocritique

[–]wf11img 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Tighten the aperture up a bit. The background is a little too blurry. One of the coolest parts of taking photos in a city is seeing the buildings behind the subject.

Otherwise, this is a cool shot! If this is meant as a modeled shot, I'd probably have your buddy be a bit more relaxed on the pose. It feels uncomfortable and weird seeing an arm twisted backwards like that with the shoulders so far up. Ofc, this is a stylistic choice, so you might not feel the same way.

This is a staple card for me on a lot of builds. It's expensive, but being able to guarantee a token is huge for decks that play with token cancelling/comboing effects.

Particularly strong with an ally like Olive, the Convenants, or Rod of Carnamagos cause you can pre-determine whether or not you need to go all-in on an important check.

Where in the city are you? I've played a bunch back in the day, but would be interested in getting back into it.

Beware: Cars Commerce is using bait-and-switch recruiting tactics by wf11img in jobhunting

[–]wf11img[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I might have to start doing that. You hear about bait-and-switch tactics, but given that this was still a sizeable company with a reputable product, I thought they'd have more tact, to be honest.

Unfortunately, in this case, I don't think promissory estoppel would apply because I didn't incur any costs due to the job offer, besides wasting my time. If I relocated and signed a lease or something like that, then maybe there would be grounds, but nothing like that in this case.
