@YurkshireLad I hadn’t noticed that. I just checked the other book bundles and didn’t see any restrictions so I’m guessing it has something to do with this bundle coming through Kobo which would be odd since Kobo is a Canadian company.

@BloodSlut Besides the usual stuff, it adds Duet Mode (for 2 players) and Flock Mode (for 6-7 players). The Duet Mode adds a duet board that you add pieces to every time you play a bird. The goals from the expansion are all related to the duet board. The placement rules for the duet board really forces you to pay attention to the birds you play.

@ebookdeals I guess I should have included a link to the bundle.

@JakenVeina I looked at Microcenter but a lot of stuff seems to only be available in store and there isn’t one close by. The closest one is 3 hours away. I’m also hesitant to buy computer parts from Amazon so Newegg seems to be the only good option. I’ll probably also check B&H to see if they have everything.

@SpaceCadet I thought about that but I like the little window on the side. It makes it easier to see inside if I need to check on something. Just recently I needed to check and make sure nothing was using my bottom sata ports before ordering an m.2 SSD. With the side window, I could just take a peak inside without having to pull the panel off.

As some others have said, I’ll likely hunt for non-RGB stuff or just set it up to turn them off.

@dresden Yeah. Goodreads lists one of its genres as Cozy Mystery which gives the books a nice, laid back feeling to them when read. The chapters are also short which I find helpful since I can fit some reading whenever I have time without having to worry about stopping mid-chapter.

@DadWagonDriver The series is Thursday Murder Club which is also the name of the first book in the series. It’s a murder mystery series. The fourth book in the series comes out September 2023.

@BumpingFuglies You don’t have any problems when using it docked? I had read a few posts claiming that running it docked caused it to struggle.

@Spat_U_Later the simple game mechanic makes it really easy to explain to new players. It’s the only game the kids were able to easily pick up with a single explanation of the rules.

@dpunked The kids were 10-13. The game mechanics are really simple to learn too. The box says 8+ and that’s probably accurate.

@echo64 I think the system wouldn’t be too bad if there was an easier way to get the base weapons. One of the things I really dislike is hunting for specific weapons. I’ve only found one of those deku spears in my entire playthrough. Also, having to break my weapons killing enemies so I can get their weapons seems counter productive.

@SignorPao @TheTechNerd Some nice Hall Effect joycons would certainly be nice.
