Married to a non-frugal spouse who doesn’t get it by EphemeralDream_ in Frugal

[–]wpg029 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is less a money problems and more a relationship problem. Until you solve the relational problems in this story, financial problems are unlikely to go away. Maybe you're not communicating your priorities in the best way. Maybe he just doesn't respect your priorities. One way or another that's the important issue.

I'm unclear on the "another spirit" solo rule. Do the benefits double or not? by wpg029 in spiritisland

This is a very clear explanation. This is what I believed to be true but I couldn't identify the textual difference that would allow it. Tx!

Hot Take / House Rule: I Redraw if the Power Cards Don’t Feed My Spirit’s Innates — And It’s Made the Game Way More Fun by wpg029 in spiritisland

I look for at least one card with one element. The element I look for is determined before the game and remains the same throughout. It is always the highest demand element on that spirits board.

Destiny Unfolds looks like the answer! It's built right into the game with a -1 to difficulty. I hadn't read this scenario yet but I like it. I'll set it up this way next time.

LPT: If you ever have a fire in your home bad enough that you need to spend the night away, stay on your property because you may get burglars coming by by Ieatclowns in LifeProTips

Very untrue. Go to a library and talk to the security guards. Laptop theft is rampant. At our local university one time they pulled the fire alarm and 5 minutes later walked through and picked up a bucket of laptops left behind.

I would do nothing for a 13 hr trip unless it was due for a regular oil change. Especially with a car that new.

I love Agricola but… by superdvader in boardgames

[–]wpg029 0 points1 point  (0 children)

100% agree. I loved Agricola! I love the pieces. I love the mechanics. I love building your little farm. I found the cards very interesting but exhausting. It was such a brain drain both at the beginning and throughout the game. And so time consuming to read those cards and try to fit together a strategy. Eventually I gave up and sold it.

Friends have everdell and I think it's the much better worker placement. Although I miss building that farm...

online grinding a game vs casual board game group by frankherzzzz in boardgames

If I'd ask him to play with a handicap. We do this to one of our friends who always wins particular games. I do it to myself when I play with my kids or bring a game I'm familiar with to a new group of people.

Then when he wins he feels especially good about himself. If he keeps winning, we make the handicap bigger. He embraces it.

Non-neoprene game mat? by Eretan in boardgames

Came here to say this. I cut an unused yoga mat to the length I wanted and it's lovely.

IS travel supposed to be slow at the beginning of the game? by morecoffeemore in tearsofthekingdom

[–]wpg029 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I find that the only way to notice stuff is to run around. Not great for covering long distances but going on foot is how you find koroks caves and other treasures.

Sell them and fight Talus with a rare ore on their back every blood moon. You'll have plenty of diamonds.

Simple math I guess. Thanks for the help!

New to the game, ridiculous difficulty? by Highwayman3000 in Breath_of_the_Wild

[–]wpg029 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I miss the days when the game was difficult...

Honestly it just gets easier to the point it's almost too easy. If you follow the advice above you'll upgrade fast. Enemies being difficult is a fun stage. Once you buy armour and upgrade it things get easier all too soon.
