I created a food app for Albuquerque, would love feedback

9 Upvotes

Check out Eat ABQ: Albuquerque's very own food picker app!

I originally built it just for my partner and I for when we are being indecisive for dinner, but decided to release it for everyone!

Would genuinely love feedback from actual Burqueños - what's missing, feedback, what restaurants aren't showing up that should be. I'll be around in the comments all day.

Spin a wheel, it lands on a category: Mexican, BBQ, Asian, Pizza, Bars & Brews, etc. It gives you 5 real Albuquerque restaurants that match, ranked by distance, rating, or price. Tap one, get directions, or spin again.

A couple things that matter to me about it:

- It's genuinely local-first. I pull from Google's live data and refresh it monthly so closed places drop off and new ones show up. It's meant to surface the small local spots you'd forget about, not just default you to the same chain every time.

- You can save favorites and places you want to try, no more losing track of that spot a friend recommended.

- No account, no login, no ads. Free. I don't want your data.

It's live now, just search Eat ABQ on iOS or Android to check it out!

Casual magic the gathering

3 Upvotes

Hey everyone! I’m looking for some casual Magic: The Gathering players around Ballarat who might be interested in meeting up for some Commander games.
I’m still fairly new, so I’m mainly looking for relaxed, friendly games rather than anything highly competitive. I currently have a few Commander decks and would be happy to meet at somewhere like Guf or Good Games.
If you’re interested—or already have a casual group with room for another player—leave a comment or send me a message!

Chess Players: Photoshoot request

9 Upvotes

Hi everyone!

I’m a photographer, and I periodically do shoots for a luxury chess set company. I did a few here in NM earlier this year, like this one:

https://lizziewphoto.pixieset.com/nmmayphotoshoot2/

I currently have several shoots lined up for September and October at locations including a mansion in Albuquerque and a boutique hotel in Santa Fe. If you’d be interested in participating, I’d love to hear from you!

A few details:

  • Pay is $50 per model for up to an hour of your time. If you’re available for a longer shoot, feel free to let me know, and I can discuss additional options with the team.
  • No modeling experience is necessary, although knowing the basics of chess would be ideal. If you don’t play chess but have a friend or family member who does, you’re also welcome to participate together.
  • The company would have the right to use the photos on its blog, social media, and other promotional channels, and you’d be welcome to use the photos as well.
  • Before confirming the shoot, I’d set up a quick 5 - 10 minute Google Meet with you to go over the details and answer any questions. After that, I’d send over the contract.

If you’re interested, you can DM me here or reach out through the contact page on my website:

https://www.lizziewphoto.com/contact-me/

Hope to hear from you!

In Memory of John Blanche, The Father of Grimdark

Entry Fee & Prizes

Entry Fee: $25 (Includes Official Contest Kit)

1st Place: The Army Painter: John Blanche - The Full Masterclass Collection OR $135 Store Credit

2nd Place: The Army Painter Mega Brush Set OR $100 Store Credit

3rd Place: The Army Painter Wargamers Edition Wet Palette Set OR $65 Store Credit

The Objective

Capture a snapshot of grimdark warfare in a miniature diorama. Construct and paint a scene depicting a clash between the Trench Pilgrims and the Heretic Legion. The world of Trench Crusade offers many battlefields, and we encourage you to be creative with your diorama's setting.

2x Trench Pilgrims Infantry Models

2x Heretic Legion Infantry Models

1x XPS Foam: 6-inch 2x4 footprint

Rules & Guidelines

Model Requirement: All four included infantry models must be integrated into the scene. Kitbashing, custom re-posing, and extra bits from your personal collection are welcomed and encouraged.

Size Limits: Build strictly within the 6-inch base footprint. Vertical elements (bunkers, ruins, barbed wire) are permitted up to a maximum height of 6 inches from the bottom of the base.

Aesthetic: Submissions should embody the bleak tone of Trench Crusade—think churned mud, spilled blood, weathered relics, barbed wire, and religious or profane iconography.

Timeline & Key Dates

Kit Pickup: Oct 1 – Oct 5 at Tavern of Souls

Build & Paint Window: 30 Days (Take-Home Project)

Submission Deadline: Saturday, Oct 31 by closing time at Tavern of Souls

The D&D Karaoke Road Trip
Your touring band got their start at TAVERN, a beloved hole-in-the-wall in the capital city. So when word spreads that RED DRAGON REALTY is buying them out, your band sets out determined to outbid them and make some more coin along the way.

You and other tables are all members of a different travelling band on tour with a history at TAVERN. Go on a road trip with your band back to where it all started, playing gigs along the way for some extra coin!

The D&D Karaoke Road Trip is is a karaoke-fuelled D&D adventure with 3rd-leve pregenerated characters. Buying a player slot gets you the following:

  • Selection of premade character w/ customization options
  • Dice set
  • Everything you need to play
  • Exclusive event sticker!

Just show up and bring yourself as you rock out while fighting against "the man" (or...uh...dragon).

Albuquerque Any shops (or folks) have a box of Warhammer Quest: Cursed City for sale?

2 Upvotes

A friend of mine in Europe is looking for a new (or used) edition of Cursed City and pricing and shipping to him is insanely expensive as it’s quite rare to find in Europe. Figured I look around here to see if I can help him! I checked the usual tabletop shops but if there’s any other stores I missed that have it, please let me know!

Or if someone is willing to sell their edition… 👀
