Oletko mukana taloyhtiön yhteisössä?
  • Aidon oikeasti en, enkä halua. Talkoohommat joo, tottakai tulee hoidettua tarpeen vaatiessa, mutta naapurit tuntien ei meillä ole mitään yhteistä elämässä. Small talkkia voi harrastaa, mutta ei mulla ole pakottavaa tarvetta tutustua ihmisiin joihin en muuten haluaisi tutustua (kuin naapuruuden perusteella).

  • Have any of you been able to reconnect with your inner child?
  • Yeah, I keep in touch. I experienced some deprivation as a kid, so as an adult, I pursue interests with glee. Maybe even to my detriment, but overall I think it's a positive thing to rush toward interesting things.

    The flip side is, really draining sometimes, and I push it away in favour of gratification. Could also be a sign of an imbalance in life, if recovering from work-based responsibility doesn't happen well enough, and it intereferes with personal life responsibilites.

  • Fighting game stick recommendations?
  • I have two Hori sticks, the RAP4 (modded) and fighting edge unmodded.

    Both work great on pc and playstation. Hori at least had a switch stick, but not sure if any more. It was based on the RAP, which is a fine stick, even out of the box.

    If you don't have budget constraints, ordering a custom could work too, since you could get it to work on the switch and ps. I don't think many sticks support both out of the box.

    If you can leave the switch out, Qanba is real nice. Razer sticks are pretty cool too, very heavy and boxy, but I like that. And Hori is a bit more budget friendly.

    The Nacon stick with Sanwa parts seems like a good deal too.

  • Kitara soi, kauppa käy ja Sauli Niinistökin onnittelee – Vuoden Tivi-yritys on Neural DSP
  • Onnittelut on paikallaan, sillä tuotteer on kohtalaisen laadukkaita. Näiltä neljä pakettia hankkineena ei ole tullut katumusta päälle, mutta toisaalta en ehkä enää viidettä menisi hankkimaan.

    Archetype sarjan plugarit, varsinkin Petrucci on todella monipuolisia leluja jotka teki kotikitaroinnista aivan ykkösharrastuksen. Saundeja löytyy satoja, on efektejä ja vaikka mitä mukana. Varsinkin jos malttaa black fridayn aikaan ulos puksahtavaa -50% alea vartos, on hinta/laatu oikein kohdillaan.

  • What are some game genres / styles you like that aren't being made anymore, or are being mde but not very often?
  • There a youtube channel and a steam curator called Mortismal Gaming who loves CRPGs. Their shtick is also completing games at 100% before popping a review, and they are churning out new material at an amazing pace. Check it out for some decent coverage on the genre.

    As for a maybe hidden gem, Age of Decadence looks pretty good. I have not played it yet, but the genre seems to match, and the premise is solid.

    Expedition Rome is well appreciated too, even if it leans more toward tactical battles.

  • Has anyone ever experienced with "sealed secret roles" ?
  • Alien RPG has this mechanic in the "cinematic play"/oneshot playmode, and it for the single session of it I've done, kt was great.

    I ran the introductory adventure with a few modifications (like taking out the android), and giving each player a card with their own goals and motivations. It culminated in a GREAT betrayal at the end of the session, and a desparate, selfish scramble for survival.

    I'd love to try it again, say for Vampire or some other "non-good" and rp-heavy heavy game.

  • Mikä on mielestäsi maailman vaikein tai raskain työ?
  • Yläasteet on paikkoja minne opetushalu ja idealismi menee kuolemaan. Massiiviset luokkakoot, resurssipuute ja teinielämän haasteet on aikamoinen kombo.

    Isot propsit ja loputon kunnioitus niille jotka tätä tehtävää hoitaa.

  • What's something you'd change in men's fashion, given the chance?
  • Just bought a wollen cape for those crispy autumn mornings. It's nice to lounge around in, but maybe I'll summon the courage to take it out too.

    Kinda feels like a trenchcoat in function, but lighter and with a hood to boot.

  • What's something you'd change in men's fashion, given the chance?
  • If you care about fashion, everything will go out of style every now and then. If you like cargo shorts, wear them. There's no reason to cater to someone elses gatekeeping. If you think that they don't fit your look, then that's a completely different issue.

    They are very handy too in all the right ways.

  • You are among politically-minded individuals who range in flavors of leftism. Then one of the members says that they used to be a neo-Nazi. How would you react?
  • Driving people out because of their past isn't fruitful. Someone used to have bigoted views but something made them change their mind, and they pushed hard enough to reform their life? Sounds like they wanted it, and are probably a changed person.

    I know a few people like this. They help others leave similar situations. Great people doing important work.

  • When was the last time you were surprised by liking a piece of music?
  • I guess when I ran into Aesop Rock, and got absolutely infatuated? I don't do a lot of rap, so his stuff hitting so damn hard was a surprise.

    I remember a few of the other times. Mostly it has taken the right moment, the right mindset and the right artist. A dark autumn evening and a walk in a park for Dark Sanctuary, falling asleep to SunnO))) and waking up to it was a mindblowing experience.

    Carpenter Bruts album Trilogy opened up electronic music for me, and Crypt of the Necrodancers soundtrack cemented it.

  • Spice Up Encounters With Flavor Rolls
  • I just read Nights Black Agents, and they have a similar idea presented in the book, but no rolls.

    They give examples of environmental features for different locations, that could be used to up the ante and encourage interactions.

    A fight on the streets? Someone gets slammed to a fruit stall and starts chucking melons.

    A chase scene on a highway? Two trucks come in between the cars, so you can run on them to reach the other vehicle.

    A fight on an icy lake? Cracks form, or maybe the sleeping leviathan sticks its maw out every now and then.

    Don't add more hp pools to dwindle, make the dwindling more interesting and maybe make the environment speed up the combat. You don't need to kill all the ruffians if you push them into a river, cutting the time of the encounter into half.

    Telegraphing options is good too, since playees might need some encouraing examples. Want a swashbuckling scene? Make the bandits swing on on tapestries and chandeliers to give players ideas and feed their imaginations.

  • Anyone got some albums to recommend?
  • I recently reorganized my vinyls, and came across a female fronted power trio of some cool bands:

    Jex Toth Jess and the Ancient Ones and The Devils Blood

    All play retro-inspired rock, and all are very nice.

    Also, Tenhi. Tenhi is love.

  • What is an unpopular game/series you enjoy anyway?
  • Penny Racers was the jam, way back in the day. It was our family game, but unfortunately I played too much, and no-one could keep up.

    Circuit Breakers is a really good Micro Machines clone. I still take it with me when the old ps-systems get carried around.

    Biofreaks and WU-TANG:enter the pain are so much fun. Stupid gory party fighters with more jank than a dump site, but I don't care.

    Recommend voodoo horror?

    As the title says, horroe movies that feature voodoo. The only thing that springs to mind is Skeleton Key, and maybe Child's Play, and I'd love to see more.

    CCg Cubes as Board games

    Hey folks.

    Have you ever tried putting together a cube as a standalone CCG experience? MTG has a great Cube community and guides for designing your very own draft environment. Of course there are drafting games that scratch a sinmilar itch, but I'm interested in turning a collection-based game into a standalone experience

    My question is, do other games support this kind of playing? Are there guides or communities that aid in building cubes? I'd love to cube Pokemon with proxies and take it to youth houses, or maybe give other CCGs a spin in a similar fashion.

    Have you tried it? Any successes or failures you'd care to share?

    Seasonal horror favourites?

    Do you guys have any seasonal horror favourites, either books or movies, that tend to come arounf yearly?

    Do share christmas horror etc, but I'm more interested in horror for spring, summer, fall, any specific time when you find youself drawn to a particular horror media.

    For summer, we tend to watch slashers. The Burning, Texas Chainsaw, Slumber Party Massacre, Toxic Avenger, Scream, Friday the 13th and Hatchet have been yearly contenders ever since the rona.

    Fall is the time for gothic, supernatural and bleak horror. Paranormal activity, Sinister, Conjuring, all that jazz. Not to mention all the Halloween-themed stuff.

    Krampus is the definite christmas movie, but Död Snö, The Thing, Blood Glacier, The Shining, 30 days of Night and Gremlins feature heavily when snow starts pouring.

    Wardruna - Helvegen

    Another neo-folk group. There was some discussion earlier that they are woefully underrepresented. So here's Wardruna!
