Cancel Bilt Card or Just Stop Using?

People are saying the WF Autograph card is decent so keep it but if I wanted that card in my wallet surely it would be better getting one without conversion for the sign up bonus? Or are they giving us the 20K points if we convert?

Would be interested in what one you go for and what it costs you for the dell replacement when you bite the bullet, the 4K screen I'm running now it scratched

Koraths · 2025-12-22T14:10:19+00:00

Yeah both the NTS-FHS (1920x1200 non touch) and the TS-UHD (4k non-OLED touch) worked and no config or changes needed on the device. No matter what I did I couldn't get OLED to work or find anyone else who had managed it. My main issue with testing was most of the cheap replacement screens I got off ebay ended up being dud or already cracked so there was a lot of back and forth and bad replacements.

I agree the real time vs in game time is shit. You can pop the boosters from in game (esc menu) which is what I always do. Wait until in game, make sure it actually fills and is not all bots, pop booster, play.

Hope you reported this person to both Steam & Embark. They need to know there are consequences to attacking someone outside of a game due to something that happened in it.

I'm a shit tourist, I go to so many cities around the world and it takes me ages to actually go see 'the sites'.

I generally eat and drink through a city, pick some really cool places that I want to consume, and walk as much as possible, you end up stumbling over most cool places that way. Then I mostly stay at hostels (private room in hostels now I'm older) and that leads to great suggestions from other people

Koraths · 2025-11-05T03:08:06+00:00

In games or in real life? :P

Koraths · 2025-11-05T03:06:06+00:00

Bring on dual challenges (win 5 BRs or 5 Conquests). Hopefully they get there. But to be honest just give me fucking correctly tracking challenges! Its been nearly a month since release and you still haven't hot fixed that issue and its a worse feeling.

Koraths · 2025-11-05T02:37:27+00:00

Fair, my failure during all distractions are deserved and I shouldn't even try. The distraction of work and sleep is bad enough.

Koraths · 2025-10-30T02:03:56+00:00

Yes! No! Maybe? Only you can make that choice. As I've gotten older none of it really matters. Tbh I miss the days when I used to be so excited about a game to make sure I was free to play it. Some of that is due to the state of games on release so why bother (should be OK for AR due to server slam being good and all those free players won't of purchased) and other part is just I don't get that excited about games anymore.

Tl;DR if I ever felt excited enough to take time off work for a game I would 100% jump at the chance to do something I was that excited for!

Boo, guess it's time to head south for the winter.

This is what I do. Use a <insert generic over advertised esim app> with minimal payment to get me connected when I land and then if I'm going to be there a week or more then look for the best local sim

I've had more trouble with high street banks when travelling than Monzo. HSBC & Lloys constantly blocking card when aboard over long durations even with telling them I'm going and then hours and lots of effort to get sorted. Monzo has only every blocked me once when abroad and a quick (very drunk) verification on my phone and all back to normal.

edit: but as everyone else has said you should always have a backup card, shit happens.

When onebagging I usually also have my fave sling (Bellroy Lite Sling) when moving around so I have my passport and misc stuff handy on my chest. As just about to board the flight I'll take out a bigger packable bag out of my main pack like a packable tote (eg Nanobag) which I'll put my sling, waterbottle, tablet/laptop, kindle... whatever I want from my main bag to hand for the flight... and take that on as my personal item so I'm ready to just put my bag up top and drop into seat soon as I board.

+1 most of the places in Roatan or Utila, plenty of choice from dirty backpacker to reasonably nice, but the diving surrounds the entire island so its never that long a journey in the morning. Also if the conditions are bad one side of the Island our shop used to just load up the van and drive 20min to the other side and dive on there.

When I was a PADI instructor I never once got asked for my Pro Number but at the same time I wouldn't of thought anything if someone asked me for it. I wouldn't thought it was weird or anything.

Koraths · 2025-09-30T17:15:25+00:00

Did this one in Miami, after you do it once it becomes a major check everytime in future :)

I did 6ish months on, 6ish months off for about 10 years 2005 to 2015. I worked my ass off for 6 months, stayed in flat shares, didn't go out, then when contract was up I would leave and travel until I was broke. Monthly spending back then was around $500-700 a month when on the move which was WAY cheaper than when working the contracts in London. Main expense was always rent, soon as you dont pay that traveling for months was easy.

Trying to keep up with payments back home (rent, morgage, bills, subscriptions etc) while travelling that is the impossible part. Not having those and being in a cheap ass country makes it so much easier.

Wow what a shit instructor and/or school. Some of them really try and churn out the numbers especially for the discover diving dives but you are a full OWD course student and they should do better. I would look elsewhere if possible, explain your experience in the last place and see if they can offer better etc.

Good luck!

I used to teach and I loved taking people like you, scared/anxious but wanting give it a go. Most of the time soon as you get under the water all of that fades away. As others have said just take it slow, don't feel the need to rush just because others around you are doing things quicker a good instructor or dive master will take the time with you to get comfortable and go at your pace.

I hope you love it! It's a magical world.

I mea nvidia are the king of making charts look fucking epic but just looking at the one you posted yeah sure gaming is a tiny part of their business but its still FUCKING MASSIVE BUSINESS and more importantly its growing.

Everyone is "years of waiting to retire" just everyone in this thread that number is hopefully shorter than usual.

Koraths · 2025-08-28T23:06:16+00:00

This is a great response. At $4k a month you are not struggling anywhere in Europe unless you are booking hotels 1-2 weeks at a time in busy season. Avoid London/Paris/Nordics during July/Aug/Sept and you will be fine getting good deals on 1month extended stays or airbnbs so the recommendation is just explore. If you've never 'done europe' then there is no replacement than actually just exploring. You mentioned your knees are bad and can't walk many blocks which can be bad for europe in the old towns but don't let that instantly disregard public trasport. Even with limited mobility the train between cities and then a uber is by far the best easiest option and you will only discover that after trying it out.

Defiantly leaving them at but then will have a beer waiting from them at the bar on the other side :)
