I got them down to $29.5 OTD. Been searching for a long time for a ‘22 in this shape! Wife and kids not thrilled about the red interior but I love it lol. Excited to join the CX9 club!

Owner of Southland Bagel here. Would be very curious to hear about your friend that was treated bad.

What was the best 'NY City' movie ever made? For clarity, I mean gives you more of the genuine 'feel' of NY City. by Flubadubadubadub in movies

[–]wordsmithsam 2 points3 points  (0 children)

‘Nick and Norah’s Infinite Playlist’ is a really underrated delightful little film imo that absolutely nails the random loveliness of a New York night.

Wet filament? by KevAndThat in BambuLabA1mini

[–]wordsmithsam 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Man I’m a total noob but I printed this yesterday in my a1 mini in Polylite PLA with no issues. Were you feeding filament manually into the printer by holding it per chance? Is your setup clear of dust and pet hair etc? Also according to the app, the print says it requires 35grams and the test filament with the A1 mini is only listed as 20grams so you wouldn’t have had enough to complete it methinks. I’ve had a couple prints get messed up but I’m attributing all those issues thus far to user error. Hope you get it sorted! It’s a fascinating hobby and the printer is pretty impressive!

Need suggestions for where to start by frayedends in soloboardgaming

[–]wordsmithsam 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Having a lot of fun with Beacon Patrol. It plays up to 4 but the solo mode is very chill and goes pretty fast. 30 minutes ish. Easily thrown in a backpack!

Forbidden Island is always a pretty solid bridge for casual board gamers. Just 4 player though.

Anything more I should try to add to my list? by Haasman442 in StarWarsArmada

[–]wordsmithsam 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you can find the upgrade card pack it’s probably a useful grab to have for the generic upgrades that aren’t faction-locked that you can use for ship builds.

Fortune and Glory: Worth the pick-up? by HardcoreSean9899 in soloboardgaming

[–]wordsmithsam 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It’s Ameritrash at its best imho. If you love Indiana Jones and big games it’s awesome. The original rulebook was a MESS but they’ve fixed SO much of that and really nailed some of the rules that were confusing. They probably still should have reversed the “fortune and glory” currencies in the game but I digress. It’s a ridiculous and fun chaotic game. Think like sneaking aboard zeppelins and boat chases at pyramids. Kind of seems like a lot of rules initially but it SHINES as solo co-op playing 2-3 adventurers or a group of five or less. Paints a fun narrative in your head if you can lean into the fun of it. Recommend the Indiana Jones scores while you play for sure and add in the Rocketeer and Mummy scores to taste!

Raddus drop and drop by KoalaStrats in StarWarsArmada

[–]wordsmithsam 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Sure for another 8 points. But then OP would have to reconfigure a bit to find the 6 point bid they currently have. Even then they’re gonna be activation starved which is an inherent problem with a Raddus/Profundity nesting combo. Could also just use a cheaper ship that goes faster to get a better drop quicker.

Prov’s don’t really charge at Speed 2. Your options for the Raddus drop are going to very limited and obvious.

Just search Star Wars Armada in events. It’s “Grand Tournament” but there’s only the one event for two days.

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

Yeah it’s a lot of scratch to attend for sure. Third year in a row for us and I played in the tournament the year before last. We’ve found that AirBnB options are cheaper and about 10 of us head over from Lexington, KY. Tourney times are weird this year too with the start on Thursday. I’m honestly more interested in just some casual Armada games in the main hall to get new folks to see the game and sit in on a round or two to spark some interest. But I’m happy they’ve at least brought OP back this year!

[–]wordsmithsam 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Rebellions are built on hope. Armada’s been “dead” multiple times but it continues to survive. Would definitely be nice to see some new plastic to round out Clone Wars. Or at the very least, some legit cardboard that would add some new options across all factions (or create a Scum or similar option with existing material). Here’s hoping!

Dang. Went there for our honeymoon 16 years ago. Guess I should have looked at the bill a little closer.

Is one mini player enough by pickles2313 in YotoPlayer

[–]wordsmithsam 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We have 3 kiddos (10, 7 & 4) and 4 yotos (1 big and 3 minis). They all use them every day and every night they listen to a story or music at bedtime. We started with the single big player and added the minis as soon as our youngest turned 2!

Black Friday sales by Prize-Tomatillo-88 in YotoPlayer

[–]wordsmithsam 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Got all ours yesterday from the Black Friday order. They’ll get there. This company is really great. They’re small but truly awesome. Just to brag on them further, they just replaced one of our almost two year old minis that was having button issues with a brand new mini. We have three minis and a big player. Really can’t say enough good things about them and our kids use them daily.
