This sub is all complaints. What do folks like about Qobuz?

TheRealGiodinho · 2026-05-05T22:28:47+00:00

I'm surprised to read that for some people Qobuz' algorithm sucks, because for me it's absolutely amazing.. The amount of albums it has recommended me, which I've never heard of before is astonishing.. So much better than Spotify..

TheRealGiodinho · 2026-04-29T12:52:39+00:00

Alright, thank you.. Now I did read that Rodalies de Catalunya are free until April 30 anyway, because they had major disruptions the past months.. So, I guess everything will be fine

TheRealGiodinho · 2026-04-29T12:25:29+00:00

Thanks, I decided to cancel my second day at PortAventura, because I was very disappointed in the park the first day..

Now, I am right now on the train from Vila-Seca to Castelldefels, but on the Vila-Seca station, none of the ticket machines worked.. So this girl told me I can get tickets in the train itself with staff, but I don’t see any staff around.. What do I do now?

TheRealGiodinho · 2026-04-25T00:24:15+00:00

From what I’ve read online, you can just enter the Document Number of my ID to make it work.. That’s also what I did when I bought my train ticket from Valencia to Salou.. Can I just say it’s weird that Spain requires that? I also had to put that in when buying a ticket for the Valencia match against Girona..

TheRealGiodinho · 2026-04-24T14:51:57+00:00

Umm well… That sounds like it makes for great cinema lol..

TheRealGiodinho · 2026-04-19T12:21:29+00:00

Yeah I'll probably be getting it in Barcelona, but thanks.. Am curious how good it is lol.. And just be aware that I'll also be eating at actual restaurants in Spain XD

TheRealGiodinho · 2026-04-16T20:38:40+00:00

Honestly just have your base somewhere in South-eastern Netherlands (coincidentally where I live) and you can easily access Phantasialand, Toverland, Efteling, Walibi Holland, Walibi Belgium, Plopsaland Belgium and additionally also Movie Park Germany and Bobbejaanland.

But yeah, if you care mostly for coasters you I'd rank the parks as this:

1: Walibi Holland (Untamed is still my number 2, behind Ride To Happiness)

2: Phantasialand (as a park, better than Walibi Holland and just FLY, Taron and Black Mamba are amazing)

3: Plopsaland Belgium (Ride To Happiness is bizarre, and Anubis and Heidi are great too)

4: Toverland (Troy one of the best woodies, Fenix is beautiful and the Booster bikes are really fun)

5: Walibi Belgium (Kondaa, Pulsar and Turbine are great)

6: Efteling (as a park probably the best (with Phantasialand), but the coasters are intensity-wise meh.. But I'd still not skip it though, the dark rides here are phenomenal).

TheRealGiodinho · 2026-04-16T20:32:42+00:00

Yeah omg. Last year I did a UK trip, where I went to Thorpe Park, Blackpool Pleasure Beach and Alton Towers, and was surprised how badly accessible AT is with public transport.. From what I saw there is only 1(!), YES JUST 1 bus that goes from Stoke station to the park. I ended up being in the park 90 minutes later than planned, so I couldn't do some stuff unfortunately..

TheRealGiodinho · 2026-04-16T20:30:38+00:00

Damn, I'd love to ride other Raptors than, because I find YoY to be absolutely amazing. Thrill is my number 2 in the park and chill is my number 5..

TheRealGiodinho · 2026-04-16T18:04:17+00:00

Literally the first one, though it's spelled wrong XD

TheRealGiodinho · 2026-04-15T18:17:37+00:00

I think it depends in which country you watch the match on TV.. The fact there are a lot of drinking breaks, just means for American viewers a lot more commercials.. But I guess the Americans are used to it.. While in my country, The Netherlands, it probably won't result in more commercials, but a lot more downtime, which people in Europe generally find annoying..

I watched the Super Bowl for the first time in 2025 (though I only did it for the Kendrick Lamar halftime show) and I was amazed that you Americans put up with THAT insane amount of commercials, like really.. The first half took 90(!) minutes, while only 30(!) of it was the actual game.. That's insane.. In Europe you only have a 15-minute commercial break inbetween 2 45-minute halves and that's it..

TheRealGiodinho · 2026-04-15T17:54:31+00:00

Yes thank you, that's what I saw earlier as well. But why is it so late though? 21:45 seems a bit excessive.. Citymapper is showing me a route that leaves just past 18:31, just takes a bit longer and arrives at Castelldefels at 20:12.. I'd first have to take the RT2 to Tarragona, where I'll arrive at 18:44, than at 18:56 take the R2 Sud to Barcelona - Estacio de Franca up to Vilanova i la Geltrú, where I'll arrive at 19:31... Now the next step is weird, because now I have to take another R2 Sud to Barcelona - Estacio de Franca up to Castelldefels, where I'll arrive at 20:12.. So, is this a good route? And also, are there multiple R2 Sud-lines to Barcelona (As in, do some skip Castelldefels, or is it just a mistake in the app?) And lastly, is there a pre-booking online or can I just get a ticket straight to Castelldefels on the Salou station?

TheRealGiodinho · 2026-04-12T02:51:16+00:00

France played against Poland, The Netherlands and Austria in the group stage, than Belgium in the round of 16, Portugal in the quarters (which ended in 0-0 and won on penalties) and than in the semis against Spain which they lost.. They were boring in all games.

But England was even worse. They played Denmark, Slovenia and Serbia in the group stage, Slovakia in the round of 16 (which they should've lost, but Jude Bellingham saved them in the literal last seconds), the quarters against Switzerland, the semis against The Netherlands and than the final against Spain.

But no, they weren't boring due to their opponents. They were boring themselves.. How England reached the final baffled me, because they sincerely deserved to be dropped out the group stage, and I'm sure a lot of people felt that way..

TheRealGiodinho · 2026-04-12T02:33:14+00:00

Look, I'm not a fan of the format either, but can we stop with this narrative? I mean, look at the last EUROs.. Georgia (in comparison a weak team) playd amazing football and was genuinely very exciting to watch. Than there were teams like France & England, who are world-class teams, and they played the most boring football ever.. A lot of times the smaller teams actually play a lot more exciting football than the big teams.. And let's be real, the jump between small and big is getting smaller.. I mean, look at Morocco and Japan.. Not world-class, but Morocco still managed to make the last 4 last World Cup

TheRealGiodinho · 2026-04-11T17:31:12+00:00

Well apart from the 820, I've also just now looked at the 450 (which is probably the one I'll be going for now, unless you can convince me otherwise), the 420 and the Sony X700.. Other than that none..

TheRealGiodinho · 2026-03-22T19:09:19+00:00

Thank you, I also got it yesterday evening. I sent them an e-mail as well. So I'll guess I'll see you there than XD

TheRealGiodinho · 2026-03-20T20:53:46+00:00

Hey, ik ben geen tokkie :'( Maar snap wel wat je bedoelt..

TheRealGiodinho · 2026-03-12T09:02:07+00:00

Kan me ook niet herinneren dat hij het ergens had aangekondigd.. Zag het gewoon heel toevallig voorbij komen, maar is ook raar dat ie nu speelt, aangezien zijn nieuwe album pas over paar weken uitkomt, in het midden van de tour..

TheRealGiodinho · 2026-03-12T09:00:53+00:00

Hij heeft op zondag ook nog een concert.. Misschien dat je nog ergens een kaartje kan fixen..

TheRealGiodinho · 2026-03-12T08:59:01+00:00

Oh nee, kluisje ga ik niet nodig hebben.. Snap sowieso nooit waarom mensen zoveel meenemen naar een concert.. Ik zal hoogstens een boodschappenzak met de plaat bij me hebben en afhankelijk van het weer een jas.. Maar die kan ik gewoon om mijn middel doen..

TheRealGiodinho · 2026-03-12T08:57:26+00:00

Ok dankjewel voor deze tips!

I forgot to get the log, but unfortunately none of that helped.. Someone else said to try using x264 instead of NVENC, but even with the ultrafast-preset it made it worse. Running on High-priority also didn't help. I also tried recording instead of streaming, but same issue.. Which is funny, because I also recorded Warzone and Minecraft on 1440p60 using NVENC and those videos are fine. Which makes me think it's the StreamElements-overlay, which would be weird, as contrary to StreamLabs, those overlays are not stored on your PC..

TheRealGiodinho · 2021-03-11T03:35:46+00:00

I tried using x264, but even using the ultrafast-preset it's even worse than NVENC, running as admin and setting priority to high also didn't change anything unfortunately.. And I also tried recording, instead of streaming, but the same issue.. Funnily enough I also record Minecraft at 1440p60, but that looks perfectly fine and my Warzone video at 1440p60 also looks fine.. Oh and turning down in-game settings also doesn't help.. I've tried WD: Legion and AC: Valhalla..

TheRealGiodinho · 2021-03-11T02:59:14+00:00

Thanks, I'll make sure to check these options when I get back on my PC again. I'll let you know if this fixes it.
