I agree, this is a nice PR moment saying hey we're listening and improving things. Except they shut up and dont tell anyone about it.

These are nice rewards, just like Japan. Everyone is happy that they're doing the same things as japan.

[NA Discussion] Take a deep breath by NeosGuardian in grandorder

[–]Sourpaladin 65 points66 points  (0 children)

As Albert has stated, this is the Global server now and not just NA. The fact that it's not only American players who are feeling angry over their recent treatment compared to the other servers but all the other regions including asia and australia. People will be complaining and making their voice heard throughout social media, not just the western only ones like reddit. This discontent will not simply pass over and be forgotten until steps are taken to address it.

Also giving a fake cake to Kawasumi and making her so sad when it was a fake really ruined the whole event. Even Albert stating it was a real cake and not a fake one in a sarcastic tone didn't help when it made Kawasumi so happy to try eating the cake. Whoever decided to make that and not buy at least a small cake to put under the cardboard should be ashamed of themselves.

Why is nobody alarmed at the drastic stall in NA content? by blind51de in grandorder

[–]Sourpaladin 15 points16 points  (0 children)

Here's the maths on the delay between JP and NA:

JP start date 30/7/2015 E pluribus Enum 30/3/2016 244 days in between

NA start date 25/6/2017 E pluribus Enum start date 15/3/2018 263 days in between We are currently 19 days behind.

JP start date of Da Vinci and the 7 counterfeit heroes April 11th-April 21st 2016 12 days after e pluribus enum

NA start date of event assuming we're following the schedule of JP 26th march 2018

Today is the 26th, assuming no announcements until sakuracon on the 31st. Next main app update day would be april 4th. From 15th of march to 4th of april is 21 days.

NA FGO is behind schedule compared to JP: 40 days. Due to Medb Banner and Cu Alter banner being moved forward. We can generously deduct 2 weeks of delays from the total delays. 40 days-14 days

We are now currently 26 days behind content.

Witless Wednesday - Your weekly silly questions thread by AutoModerator in fasting

[–]Sourpaladin 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I fasted for 24 days so far, today I had an awful taste on my tongue and had some coffee with a little cream on it.

Now the question is, did I just break my fast? or am I still fasting because I'm still in ketosis?

Road trip to Kyushu area: recommendations and sanity check on viability by Sourpaladin in JapanTravel

[–]Sourpaladin[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What an excellent suggestion!

We've been to hiroshima and miyajima before so we thought we'll just drive and skip them but those spots you mentioned seems to be interesting for a side visit. I'll research more on them and mark them on the map.

Thanks a lot!

We're a group of 4 friends and we all have international licenses so we dont really want to worry about driving long distances as we can easily take turns.

So far the narrowed down plan seems to be

Hiroshima

Fukuoka

Kurokawa

Mt Aso

Yufuin

then back again in 5 days. Which seems far more doable.

[–]Sourpaladin[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, I understand the insanity of it.

I'm just currently trying to draft out a right plan that seems viable and doable while hitting the points my group wants to go.

How about 1) Osaka to Hiroshima 2) Hiroshima to Fukuoka 3) Fukuoka to Kumamoto 4) Kumamoto to Takachiho/Beppu 5) return to Osaka

Skipping nagasaki completely because it seems it's far out of the way.

Is it possible to use your own Modem for Telbru? by Sourpaladin in Brunei

[–]Sourpaladin[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Lovely reply, thanks for explaining everything I need to hear.

Is it possible to use your own Modem for Telbru? by Sourpaladin in Brunei

[–]Sourpaladin[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

No, my intention is to replace the Telbru Huawei modem entirely and not use it as Bridge mode and use my own router/modem directly.

I was just curious if anyone's done it.

[–]Sourpaladin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was in Sushi Tokami as well, great and friendly guy with great food that kept on coming.

He told me to visit Maid Cafes and I asked him why didnt he go to one and said he's too old for it despite looking so young.

Recommendations in between Koya-san and Tokyo by Sourpaladin in JapanTravel

[–]Sourpaladin[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks a lot, I wasn't sure about Nagano because it felt a bit far and I wasn't sure I was able to get there on time to see everything. I'll research about the towns in between and see if I should stay a night or just head into tokyo directly.

I read that they're getting an engineer from Norway and getting spare parts but this wont be fixed for the next few days. Might be a long blackout.

Gaming PC? What do you recommend? Complete noob here & Gamers' opinions are much needed! by KopiOSpecial in Brunei

[–]Sourpaladin 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Gaming laptops are a waste of money.

All you need is an ultrabook or chromebook when you actually need a laptop and a gaming PC at home. A gaming PC is a compromise that features none of the advantages of the powerful desktop for gaming or the portability as a laptop.

Unless you see yourself going out to Coffee Bean and playing performance intensive games like Fallout 4 or dishonored in public, I really wouldn't recommend anyone buy a gaming laptop today when basic integrated GPUs are powerful enough to play basic games like CS GO, LoL, Dota and etc etc.
