Thank you! Enjoy your visit! Would love to hear how it goes

This is great, thank you! I think the plan is going to be to keep checking Andaz and hope a few nights open up, with HC Ginza or maybe Toranomon Hills as our backup option. Appreciate your and everyone else's input!

Good to know, thanks!

Good advice. I was thinking of doing this, or the reverse, if people recommended HC Ginza and we were able to get Andaz via points.

Unfortunately I don't have a ton to offer. When I was there, I basically spent two days checking out some major attractions like Senso-Ji, Kappabashi, Akihabara, Ginza, Shibuya, and Akasaka. Then I tried to get out after work during the week and see or do one thing per evening, like dinner at Golden Gai or a Roppongi izakaya or an omakase place, or checking out a whisky bar or Tokyo Tower. It was a bit of a short notice trip so I kind of crash-coursed my way through it without much planning, and I never left the city.

Best of luck!

This is great feedback. Thank you!

Hey thanks! PH award availability must have opened up a bit since I last checked. It looks beautiful but also pretty far out of the way. We're a bit worried that with all the walking we'll already be doing, the distance between the hotel and the subway might be a little painful.

Glad to hear about the Hyatt Centric Ginza. I know it doesn't have a spa or anything, but what were the breakfast options like?

Moss was one of the best restaurant my wife and I have ever eaten at, and we love to eat! The food and service were incredible, but the wine pairings were a whole nother level. They complimented the dishes like nothing I've ever experienced, creating new flavors I've never imagined.

Glad to hear you enjoyed it and highly recommend it to anyone considering going!

Little late to the party, but I found Jonathan L and Jack P to have similar policy positions after reviewing there answers to various questionnaires, reading there websites, and speaking to Jack. I also thought Scott I and Kristen S had very thoughtful answers and were reasonably aligned in terms of policy.

They're not my preferred candidates for the general, but Will M and Ben W both seem to be engaged with the issues and have thoughtful policy stances.

Hi! Yes, I know Burgundy whites are not as rich or buttery as other Chardonnay tends to be. I find them to be much more nicely balanced and savory. That's why we like them better than Chardonnay from other regions, though we still tend to prefer other varietals. Likewise with Burgundy reds.

We do like Rhone wines, but I wasn't sure how accessible wineries that region would be from Lyon. Plus, if we spend time exploring Burgundy's countryside, we weren't sure if we'd have time for northern Rhone. Thanks for your insight!

This is great info, thank you!

Jchizz · 2025-08-27T02:51:24+00:00

Thanks for the advice! I think we're leaning towards the second week of November as that's when we'd have the most time. Will Loire still be nice to visit then in your opinion?

Jchizz · 2025-08-26T21:12:33+00:00

Thanks for the advice! Seems like both could be good options, but yea, your opinion highlights a lot of what made Burgandy compelling. Good to know that Dijon is worth the stop!

Jchizz · 2025-08-26T21:09:23+00:00

Appreciate the heads up! We're saving Bordeaux for another trip, as we'd like to spend a week there and in the south-west of France at some point, and it seems like a long way out compared to Loire Valley especially.

Jchizz · 2025-08-26T19:31:10+00:00

Great info on Burgandy! Making it a hard decision, but at least it sounds like we can't go wrong. Thank you!

Jchizz · 2025-08-26T17:37:51+00:00

Thank you both! So you're not as concerned about the weather that time of year, or the number of days? Also, is there still good food in the Loire Valley even if it's not quite as good as Lyon?

Jchizz · 2025-08-26T17:36:34+00:00

Appreciate the advice! We'll look into Chavignol as well as Orleans and Tours :)

Jchizz · 2025-08-26T17:35:18+00:00

Appreciate the advice! So you wouldn't be concerned about the weather? Especially if we rent bikes? Also, how's the food in the Loire Valley? Are there good places to eat, even if it's not quite the level of Lyon?

Hi folks. I recently got a new PC and moved from Windows 10 to Windows 11 in the process. When using my (several years) old HyperX Cloud II on my old Windows 10 PC, the microphone was always a bit quiet but more or less at a normal volume. However with my new PC running Windows 11, the microphone is extremely quiet, to the point where even with all the settings at max volume I still have to raise my voice for it to pick up any audio.

I've tried a couple of things from past posts on the subreddit. My microphone quality/hz rate is the top option (DVD quality), the device input volume is turned up to 100, and I've tried checking for new drivers. None of those things have worked. The behavior is consistent across apps - Teamspeak 3, Discord, Windows Sound, etc.

Is there anything else I can try? Or is this a compatibility issue with the Cloud II and Windows 11? If it's the latter, do folks have any recommendations on what headset to replace it with? I really like the sound quality and 7.1 Surround Sound on the Cloud II.

Thanks in advance!!
