I haven't watched videos on prime in years... now I start again and in a single episode of Invincible, I swear I had 5 ad breaks. These aren't even 10 second youtube ads that last 10 seconds... it's bloody minute and a half. Prime is literally a paid service - I already gave them my money, and now there are ads too?

Was it always this bad, or have they been ramping it up to see how much crap we can tolerate?

Hi everyone,

I used to make crummy tables from pink insulation foam back in high school, but now that my buddy and I are back into tabletop gaming, I would like to make a real table and make it look nice. I have a vague idea of how to do the major steps, but if there are makers out there with good tutorials and tips, I would love to give their videos a watch and improve my knowledge a bit. Would like my first go to be at least half decent.

Any recommendations would be great.

EDIT - also if there are people who give advice on how to design tables that are reasonably fair/balanced for gameplay, I would love that too.

I am currently a supporter of Davale Games and Conquest Creations and they have some great stuff, but I am looking for more creators to expand my options. I am wondering if people here know of other creators who make terrain and scatter that fits in with the aesthetics of Middle Earths many settings.

I want to like her - negating cavalry bonuses should be great, but I can't think of more than 1 time where she really put in good work. Cavalry charges suck to be on the receiving end of, but as Dunland I can usually just swamp them with guys... sooner or later they are going to lose priority and get rolled.

Just curious to know if Dunland players think she is worth the points, especially when compared to a guy like Gorulf who can absolutely tarpit an enemy's badass hero for several turns.

Hi everyone

I am wondering if anyone has recommendations for Ikea Kalax-compatible storage containers that can be used to store miniatures. I'd like ones that close so that dust will accumulate much slower, and I would like them to be clear so I can see them. Ones with multiple levels are also preferable, because that makes the best use of the space.

Ikea does have 2-leveled windowed ones that look like a fantastic use of space, but they are 30 dollars a piece. If there are any off-brand ones that are clear and space efficient, I would love to give them my money.

Any suggestions are appreciated.

Just curious to know what it's like across the profession. Is it just because of the numbers? Or is it attractive to a certain person?

I used to be an anxiety plucker - before my OCD/anxiety issues were diagnosed and treated, I would slowly pull out hairs on each side of my mouth. As a result, my facial hair is no longer continuous - my mustache is separated from my beard by a patch on each side. I still see small, thin hairs there though, and am hoping there is some way to stimulate the area to grow again.

I have looked up Minox, and many people on Reddit say good things about it, but it also has some concerning side effects. I am wondering if people have any experience restoring damaged facial hair, and if there are safer options. I don't look awful with the patches if I keep my beard and mustache to a 1-2 day length at most, but I would love to have a nice, full set of facial hair again.

Any experience or advice is appreciated.

Hi all,

After exclusively playing as the celts under Ambiorix, I tried my hand as Trajan, and while I appreciate the free monument and roads early on, I find the slow expansion of borders insanely frustrating because I cannot build my settlements with long-term goals in mind - everything is constrained by the short term lack of border growth. The theater line does speed things up, but early on there are usually districts I prefer, such as the university or commercial district.

Im just curious to know how to work around the painful lack of forced border expansion.

Hi everyone,

2 days ago, Credit Karma flagged me with a bunch of alerts asking if I had opened a line of credit and credit card with BMO, and if I had requested inquiries for similar accounts with RBC and CIBC.

I followed their advice and contacted Equifax and Transunion and have filed a dispute with transunion, as well as putting out alerts on any future inquiries.

Is there anything else that should be done? I walked over to my local BMO asking if they had any new accounts for me, and they said they did not have any open accounts when I showed them my ID - but my credit reports indicate the 10,000 BMO line of credit is a bit over balance already.

I don't want to get screwed for not addressing anything soon enough. Is there anyone else who should be contacted? My credit score dropped from 873 to 832 from all this, which is probably the least of it. Someone seems to have my info and is taking out credit anywhere and everywhere. There is an address in Brampton, ON that was added to my credit reports - maybe it is them, maybe it is the address of some other sap who isn't the culprit. Is there a specific authority I contact with this information?

Any advice means a lot to me.

EDIT - thanks to everyone who chimed in. I went back to BMO with my credit union reports and they found the line of credit - the phone number, address, and email were not mine. Not entirely sure why they didn't see it the first time, might have been the fact that only one of my middle names appears on my credit file? Filing with the police, then going back to the banks with the police report (BMO said an active report would help move things along). With the all the info that that showed up on the credit report, I'm hoping they might catch the POS.

I have patches on each side of my mouth that prevent my beard and mustache from connecting. I used to be an anxiety plucker and suspect they might be a result of that. I am wondering if minox might be effective for someone looking to fill in these sorts of gaps.

Any advice/experience is appreciated.

Unless I get an absolutely spicy site for Chichen Itza, I never find rainforests worth keeping. Forests at least have appeal and decent production output, but I cant say I've ever regretted stripping my empire of rainforests - the early boost always seems to outweigh whatever it is you do with them late game.

What do other people think?

Fairly new to living on my own (took me till my 30s to get my own place). One skill I am learning is sale hunting and loading up my freezer. Without sales, most decent quality cuts of meat are too expensive to justify. I am wondering if there is a general guideline for when the price per kg of chicken and other meats becomes so good it is worth stockpiling.

Edit - totally forgot to mention im in the greater Toronto area of Canada.

Looking to make my first Rohan list - it is tempting to take throwing spears because they have a separate cap from bows, but 2 points per model is pretty steep in a game where most wound rolls are in the 5-6+ range at best.

Do experienced Rohan players think that throwing spears earn back their points investment? Also, do they provide support in melee? They are called spears, but they are listed under throwing weapons, which makes me think they dont.

As nice as it is to fight an enemy army list that you have hatred against, it seems extremely niche and either situationally overpowered or completely useless.

My Uruks already chew through most Rohan models without hatred, but then you throw in hatred of man and they just turn them into dog food. Against any non-human army, that rule is completely irrelevant, but against specific armies it is a massive change in the game's mathematics in my favour.

I am starting to think these ultra-specific bonuses against very specific factions/races are like a lottery, where if you are playing against the right enemy you have a massive advantage, but against others, it does nothing.

Curious to know what more experiences players think of rules like hatred and other enemy-specific bonuses as far as balance is concerned.
