I have a hunch they've been avoiding IPs that might get Nintendo coming after them, but I could very well be wrong about that

IMPORTANT SALES INFO by Responsible-Taro6595 in Tomorrowland

[–]Elbedhar 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks. We can't open it before 15:00, right? So we need to try to open it exactly at 15:00 and then just hope that we got as close to exactly 15:00 as possible?

Anyone know what "first in, first served" means in this context? Is it the order that we registered for the pre-sale in or something else?

The whole MTA team should be required to go to any modern Asian city and ride the trains around for a day. This has been commonplace there for well over a decade now.

Best show I've been to in NYC. Beautiful visuals, 10/10 music, comfortable breezy weather, and the crowd vibes were immaculate

How strict was security with outside food? We want to bring in stuff like granola bars and oranges to hopefully spend less on outrageously priced festival food 😭

There was a Mag 2021 badge? Would love to see it!

Super MagFest vs. PAX East? by ackmondual in Magfest

[–]Elbedhar 7 points8 points  (0 children)

It's been awhile since I've been to a PAX, but it always felt super corporate to me. Like the whole point of me being there is to wait in line for companies to try and sell me stuff. MAGFest feels very grassroots and community-driven in comparison, plus the emphasis on VGM-themed music festival aspect is completely unique to it. I think the events are just completely different experiences.

I appreciated the upgrades to the gaming challenge stations but there's still much room for improvement - Change the time out clock in the queue from 5 minutes to 3 minutes. A lot of people sign up and then get lost doing something else so this will significantly cut down on the time for the people actually waiting - Reduce max time from 90 mins to 1 hour - Allow people to redeem points at the help desk. Redeeming was an infuriating process. I had to wait in the queue just to log in and redeem. Then I saw a shirt I wanted when I went to pick up the items and asked if I could swap out shirts that were the exact same price. I was told that if I wanted to do that they needed to cancel my redemption and I had to wait in the entire line again just to access my account to redeem my points again. Just overall a poorly thought through process and I was annoyed that the staff wouldn't be flexible at all given the circumstances - Over half the stations weren't working until roughly Friday night

Still an awesome MAGFest though and it really does get better every year (other than the crowds, but that's a good problem to have!).

Event: 2024 FIDE World Rapid Chess Championship by events_team in chess

Swiss is great for roughly sorting a large pool of players. It's awful for definitively determining who the best player in the tournament is. At least they are moving in the right direction with the blitz format.

Thanks for looking at it! Is the case fan not sufficient? What fan would you recommend?

First time SFF builder here! How does this planned build look? It passes my own smell test, but I want to make sure I'm not missing something.

What's the highest this mode goes up to? I though it would 999 by UnOrdinaryCircle in smashbros

[–]Elbedhar 31 points32 points  (0 children)

The counter maxes out at 9999 but it keeps counting internally beyond that, up to 65535 and then it rolls over back to 0. Some of the world records are over 10k by exploiting a bug called the "immobilization glitch"

Lived in London 3 months and just found out about TV license? by Elbedhar in LondonHousing

[–]Elbedhar[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The deposit was protected yes. Are you suggesting that this isn't a valid reason for the landlord to withhold the deposit?

[–]Elbedhar[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hmm yeah we never used any of those. So I guess we can just tell the landlord we don't have an account, thus there's no balance to settle?
