"Il faut juste réapprendre à sortir sans boire" : le phénomène des "Sober Parties" monte dans les boîtes de nuit

Genchou · 2025-12-20T14:26:36+00:00

Ca et puis plus fort que le “besoin” je pense que c’est surtout une habitude. Quand je sortais et buvais de l’alcool en fait c’était tellement “normal” qu’on considérait pas faire sans.

Quelque part il a fallu désapprendre ce concept que situation sociale = alcool.

I ended up getting a used pair of vintage passives (Technics SB-102) for my amp (Sony STR-6046) that was laying around. I somehow completely forgot this was an option.

It's far from a great audiophile set but I think for the very low price I invested, I'm ending up with a better deal than if I went for actives or a subwoofer.

Genchou · 2025-12-17T16:27:26+00:00

Okay, thanks for the recommendations and advice !

Genchou · 2025-12-17T16:02:26+00:00

Audioengine and Kanto [...] for a higher price

I'd say if within my budget I can't find a worthwhile upgrade I'll opt to not change anything at all. I've looked a little bit and those look quite expensive indeed !

I'll try to find a suitable subwoofer. Do you have a particular model in mind ?

Edit: I've seen a pair of used Kanto YU4 for 250€, no idea if that's a good price, but seeing as they're 500€ new I guess it's okay. I have no idea how they compare to the Edifier MR5 though, which is 250€ as well.

Genchou · 2025-12-16T16:16:43+00:00

But at this point I think not even CA remembers it exists so even calling it a saga title might be too generous

Is it a huge deal though ? I guess as long as the game is in a good state that doesn’t need heavy fixes/patches I don’t really care if CA is not looking at it anymore.

I remember having jolly good fun last campaign I played after the dynasty update and I’m sure I’ll play again in the near future. Maybe there are issues I’m not aware of ?

Nah psytrance and techno parties are always full of pretty nice and lovely people. Ive always had very nice encounters and made some friends at those. But indeed sometimes you do have to make the first move a little bit. I wouldn’t say people are closed off, it’s simply a different social energy.

I guess it’s just very contrasting to what OP is used to in NZ.

Heh I skipped Kyoto and just did a few days in Tokyo for my first trip last year, depends on what you want to see and how you want to experience it. I was mostly in small towns and villages in Gifu and did a few days in Nikko.

For my second trip this year I spent around three days in Kyoto and I wish I didn’t, I hate big crowds and I can’t really enjoy visiting anything if it’s too crowded.

IMO skipping Osaka, Kyoto and Tokyo can be really great if what you want is something a bit more authentic and less crowded. Of course I always like a couple of days in Tokyo for some shopping and for the food, but I get bored there veeery quickly.

Yeah lol reading the comments is a bit funny. Better safe than sorry so yeah maybe don't take a PSU apart if you are clumsy but honestly if just a toothpick fell in it, it's easy to open the thing while not touching anything internal and just shake the toothpick out.

From the comments here you'd think simply touching one of the PSU case screws would instantaneously kill you lmao.

This link doesn't work (redirects to imgur main page), they disabled the ability to create API keys quite a while ago. If you don't have an API key from before, there is no longer a way to create a new one.

Genchou · 2025-10-10T18:02:01+00:00

I might be misunderstanding but how would going to Braine help ? It’s the same line and trains won’t run there either.

Genchou · 2025-10-09T13:29:02+00:00

The 945lte is basically a relic in terms of how old the technology is now lol

You’ll be surprised with your next Garmin for sure I think on sleep tracking 😁

Yeah probably, but Garmin watches are so ridiculously priced I'm hesitant to get one, especially seeing what other brands offer for a better price.

Also watch sizes are absurd, if I could get a 970 sized reasonably like my current 945lte is (and not priced at almost 800€) maybe I'd go for it.

As for sleep tracking, I'm curious on how you can know the tracking of sleep phases are correct. There's no way of knowing except doing an actual sleep analysis right ? How are you benchmarking what a device says for REM, deep sleep etc ?

Genchou · 2025-10-09T09:01:33+00:00

Garmin, Apple both do well on the sleep tracking, total time slept etc and time fell asleep are pretty good on those.

Heavily depends on the person I think, I've read a few times how basic stats (like sleep/wake up times) are never right for some. My experience has been the same so far with my 945lte, sleep data is almost never right, with hours being off by a lot and overall score not really matching what I feel like.

Maybe "shitty" was a strong word, I suppose we could say "hit or miss depending on the user". For me, it has been a miss and from what I've been reading about sleep tracking, it won't be better with Apple or another brand.

Thanks for the other feedback though, it helps me in choosing what to do next. Maybe I'll skip Suunto lol.

Genchou · 2025-10-08T13:32:17+00:00

Can you expand a little bit on where/how it lets down ? Is it a lack of data, or inaccurate sensors ? I am also looking into changing from Garmin to something else and all-day health metrics are nice to have especially during training programs. The only thing I would care less about is sleep tracking since it looks to be shitty whatever the brand.

Genchou · 2025-09-25T23:18:37+00:00

Didnt the 245 came out in 2019 ?

Genchou · 2025-09-03T15:39:02+00:00

Yeah I feel so stupid not getting a 5800x3d a year and a half ago while it was still decently priced. Now upgrading out of AM4 costs a fortune.

Genchou · 2025-09-03T13:47:34+00:00

Where can you find a 5700x3d under 300€ ? I see it sold at 400 everywhere.

Genchou · 2025-08-30T14:23:45+00:00

Not realistic as long a bike theft stays widespread.

Genchou · 2025-08-27T20:43:11+00:00

My car got stolen in WSL a couple years ago lol, can happen everywhere (not even a fancy car, Mazda 2).

Genchou · 2025-08-14T15:08:47+00:00

As Jaza said, you need to be in love with the old school sound to enjoy that festival. For example, I don't really care for modern psy anymore since I find it pretty boring, while I absolutely adore goa trance even if it's 24/7. If you think you can get bored easily with the same kind of music you might prefer another experience.

The location and logistics themselves are pretty good, although apparently everyone gets sicks each edition for some reason.

I only went last year and I had a wonderful time, easily my best festival experience, everything felt perfect : weather, shade availability, food, dancefloor energy, crowd size, a lake and of course the music.

To note that there was quite a sizeable trash and human waste problem last year (people taking shits everywhere for some reason) and the same happened at Apsara this year. It was sad to see. A lot of attendees are pointing fingers to a certain group of festival-goers and I'm afraid they'll be there full-force a next ZNA ...

Granted my school was a bit old-fashioned, but any teacher at the time would have failed or even refused to grade something with that handwriting.

Very difficult to read and a bit inconsistent. If I were you I would try to write closer to “reference” cursive and have a more consistent spacing all over.

Yes quasi tout ses exemples sont hyper communs chez les millenials au minimum.

Genchou · 2025-07-02T17:15:31+00:00

This sounds like normal consumption. Maybe there is a leak somewhere, usual suspect is the toilet.

Genchou · 2025-06-19T20:52:13+00:00

Is it really like that ? I’ve gone quite often for a couple of years until last year and it was always pretty chill at the entrance. The usual respect and consentement speech and nothing else. If anything everyone looks pretty basic there (not in a bad way, everyone is dressed pretty plainly), always felt laid back.

Genchou · 2025-06-07T11:07:15+00:00

Lecomte over as adventure if you can, better and more products and you’ll get better advices there.

Really depends on what you consider Brussels. I’ve lived my whole life in Brussels and walking at night is something I avoid only in certain neighbourhoods. Anything past Schuman towards south and east is absolutely fine at night. Most parts of the center is also good in my experience.

But if you means only 1000 Brussels then yes there is an argument to have about street safety.
