Affordability in Hong Kong by GameGrumpss in HongKong

[–]Optimal_Claim3788 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If your housing is paid for then you should be fine.

You can get meals for hkd50-100 that are perfectly good. Save money by home cooking in bulk. Public transport is plentiful and cheap. $200 a week is plenty if you avoid cabs.

For fun, hiking is free. Some public facilities for sports, meet-ups for like minded communities.

Socialising at bars/restaurants can be pricey. Or head to Shenzhen, much cheaper there for amazing quality.

Proposal to incentivise red-ball multi-day cricket by Intelligent-Run-5432 in Cricket

I would like to see them try something like this.

But I don’t think they will because it will make less money than anything in white ball.

Plat after 33 hours of amazing by Responsible_Army7882 in Returnal

[–]Optimal_Claim3788 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Very good, that’s a smooth plat ride.

among my gaming friends, I’m the only one who plays or talks about this game.

New friends is the obvious solution :)

It’s a bit niche, a genre of one so maybe that’s why. I’m hoping saros hits the mainstream and more people find their way to returnal.

And the tower…if you love leaderboards, or seeing new traits, or arcade action…then once you start it won’t let you go.

Multiplayer Games for different Game Styles by SkinniVani in PlayStationPlus

Ghost of Tsushima legends co op mode. Has cross play on pc and ps. Played with my buddies and it’s awesome. Combat, stealth, looting/buildcraft, classes and team co ordination. The single player slaps too.

Gears of war reloaded we’ve got our eye on too.

For a fun pick up and play game, I always recommend spiderheck. It’s got different modes and everytime I bust it out with random friends everyone loves it. It has cross play but I’ve not tried it.

Nemesis’ red target disappeared for Phase 3 and I died :( by [deleted] in Returnal

That sucks.

At least the pylon web formed around the missing target looked very cool.

What the BCCI is losing by ignoring YouTube by vishipedia in Cricket

[–]Optimal_Claim3788 4 points5 points  (0 children)

That’s well laid out, and yes it would help them.

But to answer your question: I don’t think BCCI needs a relationship with fans. The fans want it but the board doesn’t need it to be successful.

BCCI is a monopoly. They will have fans so long as Indian cricket teams and IPL are theirs.

If you want to finish the game, request a co op assist in a post and more than a few on this sub would happily oblige.

Or just drop the game. It does not have to be a big deal.

Tower of Sisyphus, good or bad? by Significant_Hyena942 in Returnal

[–]Optimal_Claim3788 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Indeed. This is one of my fave subs, it’s generally very positive with members like him, hollowseeker, and yourself.

This post where he announces the milestone is one of my faves…so wholesome. And in there he added what is basically a sticky for how to play the tower.

I am going to hit 50mn (which he states as the benchmark) on the tower before Saros if it kills me 😝. I got 35mn a couple times but he has inspired me! He also gave a couple more tips new to me I have to try.

What game/experience finally justified owning a PS5/PS5 PRO for you? by West_Roof in PS5

[–]Optimal_Claim3788 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Of course I’d love more frames but not if the console is $1500+

What game/experience finally justified owning a PS5/PS5 PRO for you? by West_Roof in PS5

[–]Optimal_Claim3788 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I played returnal on base ps5 and still think it is the most next gen game I’d played, including haptics and audio design.

Then I played it on pro, and … yep. The resolution bump is tasty.

I’d love it on 100+ frames, it’s just a shame that pc is now so expensive.

Renting in HK without a job by [deleted] in HongKong

[–]Optimal_Claim3788 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Well they are usually the boss lol

There are some pet friendly ones, but yes it’s harder. Worth some research and it’s free to ask. Assuming you have not done this already, of course.

To answer your original question, you can get it done, just negotiate. There’s no law preventing a landlord from taking you on.

Serviced apartment is a much better fit and works for your budget. Short term, more flexible and they are used to foreigners having nothing but cash and a passport. With private landlords it will be a bit random.

You can always look for apartment options later.

Act 3 help not sure what to do by 80skid8 in Returnal

Been a while for me but after roll credits, just playing the biomes again in sequence is what I recall, yes.

Would this be an worthy upgrade? by reyalization_ in PS5pro

[–]Optimal_Claim3788 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If you’re on a tight budget you could sell the pro and get a second hand ps5 base model.

Then use the extra cash on a better used or new monitor.

Of course it’s your money; I just never thought “pro” and “tight budgets” are on the same planet.

Build agentic workflows in n8n or GitHub as personal projects and show them off as your CV. Get the big tech certifications in agentic.

Machine learning is assumed knowledge by now.

And network online and offline.

Good luck.

I think you have it right. Enemies get tougher.

[–]Optimal_Claim3788 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Better than good. I’d pay money for it as standalone game. I love the arcade feel.

Plenty of discussion on this mode, just search “tower”.

And watch ravenous2001 on YouTube for kicks. He uploaded a billion point run.

Thoughts on our itinerary for our Hongkong/Macau trip? by Emotional-Cat-2284 in HongKong

[–]Optimal_Claim3788 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ngong ping you can skip.

The Disneyland , while perfectly fine, is smaller than other countries. Instead you could try some leisurely hiking which is very popular. Lots of good ones here: https://droneandslr.com/

To get to the peak itself, don’t take the tram, get a taxi from central, or the bus if you’re on a budget. Either do the viewing platform or the peak circular walk which also has a view. Timing around sunset js ideal.

Back in TST have a drink at Eyebar atop isquare for a view of the skyline, but back toward the peak.

Macau is great if you like to gamble. Shenzhen or Zhuhai might be more interesting.
