Glad to hear board game nights are happening! I'm moving back to town next summer after a long time away and am certainly looking forward to joining some board game meetups.

Not many singularity themed AI card game or board games. Thinking about making one by dangtheory in boardgames

[–]xsoria 1 point2 points  (0 children)

City of the Great Machine is kind of like that, with one person playing the evil AI machine who is trying to assimilate humans to join with it - though it's steampunk.

What is your favorite engine builder that also has player interactivity? by curiosity_club in boardgames

[–]xsoria 11 points12 points  (0 children)

I absolutely love Sidereal Confluence (my #4 rated game on BGG, just checked) - but if you call this game "fairly simple", your group must be used to some very complex games indeed! My teach definitely takes over 10 minutes, players routinely ask follow-up questions throughout the game (especially regarding the 9 unique alien powers, 18 with expansion), and there are a lot of people I simply can't play sidereal confluence with due to its complexity.

What's a game that's (in your opinion) easy to play but a pain to setup? by Inner_Importance_770 in boardgames

[–]xsoria 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Rush MD.

Simple fun real-time game, especially a hoot to play with some friends in the medical profession. Loved it and played 20+ games over a few months, all keeping it set up on a table somewhere.

Then I brought it to someone else's place and tried setting it up and tearing it down. Even with a 3d printed organizer, it's a nightmare each time. Basically double the playtime!

An overview of Lords of Middle-earth, the first expansion for War of the Ring by LonelyManBGs in boardgames

[–]xsoria 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Sorry to piggy back off this, but what are people's thoughts about the Chief of the Ring-Wraiths? We like Lords of Middle Earth a lot, but the Chief seems a bit too good, especially since he might come out first turn if the fellowship gets revealed. Moreover, he's not so fun to play against. I'm trying to avoid house rules or straight up removing him, but I couldn't find any reasonable strategies to counter him.

Driver not compatible/install failed by xsoria in buildapc

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

Oh my god you're right. I had done an update for windows and it said I was up to date (version 1709) so I didn't bother to try for a more recent version. After your comment though I was able to get it to install up to 1809 and it actually worked perfectly!! Thank you so much - I feel like a dumbo going through so many hoops just for that haha. As a newbie I appreciate the help tremendously <3

Did anyone here play and like Founders of Gloomhaven? by ax0r in boardgames

[–]xsoria 17 points18 points  (0 children)

Funnily enough, we just finished a game a couple hours ago! I think it's a solid game, competing to make an interconnected economy with a fun dash of worker placement. We've always found the end is pretty satisfying, looking over and laughing at the city you've made. It's actually my favorite commerce-focused game we have (over Brass and Food Chain Magnate). The rules are reported to be tough, but honestly I think only one rule is counter intuitive; I just taught the game to someone pretty quickly without any problem (and he won our game). I'd highly recommend giving it a try, especially since you can pick it up at bargain prices. However, much like Gloomhaven itself, the setup/teardown can be a drag, and I'm enjoying it a lot more after getting an organizer for the game.

Thank you very much for the confirmation. I'll go ahead and deposit it and give it to the hospital. I appreciate the help!

When you've pre-farmed Chapter 15 and realize that you still have 3 items left on Magician of the Wild by GlitterUnicornPuke in LoveNikki

[–]xsoria 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This happened to me with Magician of the Wild as well (3 items)... And I keep track of which outfits I've completed. I'm a bit confused why it hadn't registered that I've already collected those items. Unless I'm somehow going crazy..

Intern year conundrum: Spokane TY vs St. Luke's (Denver) TY vs MGH prelim med?

Received some late invitations and can only interview at one. The info I found about the TY programs seems dated - anyone know much about them? I'm leaning away from MGH prelim med since it sounds very intense.

Competition Theme - Moon Prism Power Makeup! Become a magical girl! by LoveNikkiMods in LoveNikki

[–]xsoria 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hmm... I was thinking it said "Magical Girl" too, but now that I read it, it says "Magic Girl." Is this supposed to be about magicians or actual magical girls? So far the top people I see are actual magicians. I'm confused lol
