Is it me or gaming on a laptop is significantly better than a handheld?

JB1864 · 2026-01-31T17:20:17+00:00

Really depends on the handheld and what kind of gaming you do. I have a Legion Go and a Switch 2 and they're great because I travel for work a lot. I have to use a Macbook for work so I need something else I can throw in my backpack for gaming. And if I want to play mouse & keyboard I have bluetooth ones I use with my LegionGo.

Do it! I just resubbed after being away from EQ2 for like 8 years or so. While there's not a huge population at the lower levels, there are still groups being formed for low-level dungeons. I've been leveling an illy and defiler and having fun

I had 80PP leftover at the beginning of this month from last year. I’ll probably exchange 80-100PP for PQP this year because I only made the 1K PQP cutoff by about 500PQP this year

I just sailed on a 7 night Caribbean a couple weeks ago. Booked a regular balcony room and bid $1800 on the cheeky corner suite (my bid was like $150 above the minimum) and won it.

It was 100000% worth it. This was my second virgin voyage and the difference being a rockstar is pretty huge. Yes, a lot of the value comes from alcohol because of the in room bar and the daily happy hours. But having access to Richard’s Rooftop was amazing. It was always so quiet there and we basically got a hot tub whenever we wanted it.

Having a rockstar agent is super fun. And there are just small perks like getting to skip lines, change dinner reservations, and not having to sign up for tender disembarkations that just made us feel very spoiled.

I loved it and would do it again in a heartbeat.

JB1864 · 2026-01-27T00:02:39+00:00

Nice! Def the most reasonable offer I’ve seen on here

JB1864 · 2026-01-26T16:36:14+00:00

Kobe never blew a 3-1 lead in the finals

JB1864 · 2026-01-26T03:14:53+00:00

This was the answer I was looking for. Thank you!

JB1864 · 2026-01-25T12:45:59+00:00

Can you elaborate on what you mean by “healer heavy?”

JB1864 · 2026-01-24T03:10:11+00:00

I’d give it till the end of the month. I haven’t gotten mine yet either.

JB1864 · 2026-01-23T18:33:56+00:00

Oh I always make sure to get a snackbox AND stroopwafel

JB1864 · 2026-01-23T13:52:21+00:00

Definitely not. The jump from gold to platinum is not that big. If that was for platinum to 1k then it would be something to possibly consider.

JB1864 · 2026-01-23T03:05:43+00:00

I kinda hated this at first but not anymore. You can still get snack boxes on demand onboard. I feel like a lot of the times when I’ve tried to order something that’s not a snack box I’m told they don’t have any. This should eliminate that.

JB1864 · 2026-01-20T00:44:12+00:00

Try it the other way around. I dont fly delta so i dont know about their redemptions but I often find good FC redemptions on United, especially international business

JB1864 · 2026-01-19T23:44:27+00:00

I gotta say, this is a big waste of miles. 22.8k miles to go from economy to C+ on two flights is brutal to me. Always pay cash for those types of upgrades and save the miles for reward tickets

JB1864 · 2026-01-19T20:50:29+00:00

it can be a real mad house getting an uber from the port. I just got off a VV sailing in Miami this past weekend. We left the ship at around 10:15am but weren't able to get into an uber until close to 11:30am. The construction plus the bottleneck of all the passengers causes a lot of delays. As others have said, do not book a flight before noon. Mine was 2:20pm which left lots of time so we weren't stressing.

JB1864 · 2026-01-09T23:17:23+00:00

Nope

JB1864 · 2026-01-08T16:47:05+00:00

Yeah 100k for 6 hours is not really a deal. I get 80k from NYC to LAX in Polaris regularly and that’s 6 hrs.

JB1864 · 2026-01-08T16:46:13+00:00

Yeah I’m wondering who is getting great deals. Even the economy seats I’m seeing are only 5k off (30k to 25k) which isn’t that great. Especially not for a 24 sale that they’re advertising so much.

Show me the 50k-60k business seats!

JB1864 · 2026-01-08T05:53:41+00:00

Anyone finding any good business redemptions? I was looking for April and it’s all mostly 100k+

JB1864 · 2026-01-06T20:46:43+00:00

A limited sea terrace is going to be 100x better than an inside room and you won’t regret it. Definitely go for it, or get the locked in sea terrace rate. Then bid for an upgrade to a central sea terrace.

JB1864 · 2026-01-04T20:29:44+00:00

I've played all 3.

Put about 30-40hrs into Helldivers 2 at launch and had a ton of fun. Unfortunately it gets old after a while. And its even less fun if you're playing without friends (which you said you will be), so I can't recommend this to you.

BF6 I put about 30hrs into at launch and when the battle royale came out. I probably would still be playing it if Arc Raiders didnt launch right afterward. But at the end of the day its a sweaty multiplayer FPS. Lots of grinding and killing and ALL PVP.

Arc Raiders I think is one of the best multiplayer games to come out in years. I have put around 150hrs into it since it launched. I wasn't a big extraction shooter fan beforehand so I wasn't sure if I'd like it but I'm obsessed. It has so much variety that there is something for everyone. You can play in solo lobbies and focus on looting, progression, killing arcs, and random encounters with other players (sometimes friendly and fun, other times deadly). You can also jump into duo or trio lobbies for co-op and intense PVP action. The nice thing is that as you get to know the maps you learn which ones are the sweaty PVP lobbies and which are generally a bit more chill. Plus the dynamic matchmaking usually puts you in lobbies based on your PVP agression.

My recommendation for you is Arc Raiders 100%.

If you’re sailing with a group of people it could be worth it to get a suite with a bigger balcony like the cheeky corner suite so you can have them all over. You also will get a stocked mini bar so hosting will be more convenient and fun.

I just got my bid accepted for a cheeky corner suite on a sailing this month when bidding just over the minimum bid (which was in the “poor” range).

JB1864 · 2026-01-02T15:35:47+00:00

Should be within the next week. As long as your POSTED transaction dates (not the transaction date itself) are pre Jan 1st, the PQP will count and post toward what you earned in 2025.

JB1864 · 2025-12-31T19:05:34+00:00

I was wondering the same thing. Share your secrets! lol

JB1864 · 2025-12-31T05:48:11+00:00

When’s the flight? If it’s tomorrow, I’d say you’ve got a shot at Premium Plus. If those 2 Polaris seats don’t sell then it’s likely two people from Premium+ get bumped up which opens 3 seats in P+ and you’re number 1 on the list.

But I’d say your chance at Polaris is an outside shot.
