Do you also observe this when running the microwave on max power? Usually, when a microwave states its 800 watts but you can adjust it down, it actually only changes the duration that power is supplied. So 400 watts would be 50% of the time the power is supplied at max.

Thank you! I love it!

How is it lasting so long? We used to play speed-Carcassonne were you only had seconds to place the tile. A game took 15 minutes but was a lot of fun

I agree with you here, well said

[-] dpunked@feddit.de 4 points 1 year ago

As a kid I liked boardgames, but often I would have to play them alone and would play some of them on the PlayStation or similar. This basically started the transition of playing games on video consoles and later PC. Boardgames became a forgotten pastime and I raveled in the complexity of pc games for many years. I even disregarded boardgames because I thought they could not compete with the glory of PC games. Of course I was utterly wrong.

It all changed when I got Slay the Spire Early Access on PC and loved it. My gf also saw the game and liked it as well. We both thought its silly to play what in essence is a card game alone, on our own computers. So we venture to a local boardgame shop and told them that we play Slay the Spire and the lad, in his wisdom, suggested Dominion. What a great start it was! We played Dominion for like 9 months pretty much every evening before we thought it could use an addon. Soon more and more games and expansions entered our collection. Here we are, 5 years later and boardgames have become a very central part of our hobbies.

I want to make my own, thinking of something thematic. Maybe designing a rover as the card holder or something silly

I am in the market for a new game but struggle a bit to decide which one! Most of the reviewers on youtube I find obnoxious, trying to hard to be funny and often not really useful. How do you decide? Especially if you cannot play the game beforehand?

I am with you, I think some games should just stay video games if there are a million things to account for each action you take.

I have played hundreds of hours of Slay the Spire the Video Game but have very little interest playing it as a boardgame. Same goes for many of the games, I just don't see how this can work very well. Exploration in Terraria vs exploration in the boardgame? Not sure about that, maybe I lack the imagination to see how this could be implemented well.

In recent years the trend to adapt video games into boardgames is just increasing.

Games like Stardew Valley, Civ, This war of mine and many more coming like Terraria or Call of Duty.

Some of these games like Civ are extremely complex games and I always wondered how well these translate into a boardgame. The production value of these games is often high, but I have my reservation that Stardew Valley the boardgame really captures the same "magic" as the video game did.

What are your thoughts on them? Any really good ones out there worthy checking out (lets exclude Dorfromantik here)?

There are some tiny tin-box style games, often not very deep but maybe there is something out there worth traveling around with?

Sorry about that :) busy morning!

We followed pathiefs advice and got a copy of Targi as a 2-player game and had a blast! We only managed to squeeze in one game but it worked really well. Solid 2-player games are hard to come by and we are always happy to expand our collection.

This spring I decided to start some trees from their seeds. The idea is to be able to plant them in a garden area in a few years. I started a lot of different plants but the mandarines and pomegranates grew very well.

Since I am spending a lot of time away from home, I also build a system to monitor, report and water the plants as needed. A little raspberry pi gets the report and also has a webcam where, occasionally, I take a pic to check on it (through a VPN connection).

I was super surprised to see the growth of the pomegranates, within a few days it grew by a few centimeters.
