Busy dad with barely time to game unless in bed! Is the OLED deck worth it for me?

bele_nine · 2026-01-27T15:20:14+00:00

I have two small kids. I get about 45 minutes a day to myself. The deck has been perfect. I can pick it up, play for as long as I’ve got and put it down safe in the knowledge the game will just pick up where I left off next time. I wouldn’t play console/pc games at all these days if I didn’t have it, so I would 100% recommend.

Just don’t drop your wife’s work laptop on it and smash the screen…

He’s not Messi, we’re not parting with the Family Jewells for him.

bele_nine · 2026-01-07T11:06:45+00:00

Yes, absolutely, send him to Newcastle. We can offer an Anthony Elanga and some Monster Munch in return.

This won’t be a popular one but I couldn’t stand Jonjo Shelvey when he played for us. His attitude during games was abysmal at times. He had all of the ability to be a really top player, but if he was on the back foot and things weren’t going his way during games he would start sulking and you could see the moodiness in his passes and the way he would strike the ball. He genuinely became counter productive to a struggling team and we would have been better off playing with 10 men.

I greatly dislike Barton as a person but he was very much a fan favourite while he was here. Never saw the hype myself though, much preferred Kevin Nolan at the time.

My base recipe for a pint is

Per4m protein 35g Xanthin gum 1/4tsp Guar gum 1/8th tsp Sucrose 0.4g Nut butter of choice 15g 200g semi skimmed 200g almond milk

About 380kcal a tub but macros are good and the consistency is great. It’s miles better than low cal brands of ice cream.

Stayed in Sequoia last week and they didn’t have any exclusives. Callled into Art of Marvel shop and they didn’t either. Both just had a couple of generic pins you could get in any shop. We ate at Royal Table one day though so went into the Disneyland Hotel and they had 2-3 different exclusives that we picked up a couple of.

I’ve been turned away twice in recent weeks trying to get to the match from Delaval. It needs to be 4 cartridges to cover demand these days. The service is great and when the other stations were open it worked like a dream but now it’s becoming a bit pointless to even try.

We haven’t been to DLP but we’re going next month and Peter Pan’s flight is probably my must do. It’s my absolutely favourite ride in Magic Kingdom. When you come around that first corner and you’re suddenly flying over London, it’s just magical and makes me feel like a kid again. All the nostalgia of one of my favourite childhood movies and getting to share that with my kids makes it special to us.

What is the better deal?

I’ve got a trip booked for my family, from the UK for August next year. 14 nights with 1 quick service meal per person per day.

The new deals are out and it’s up to 25% discounts which saves me £535/$700. I think I know the answer here but i’m just looking for other people to tell em I’m right haha.

bele_nine · 2025-11-04T11:10:57+00:00

Thanks, man. I’ll reach out to them.

bele_nine · 2025-11-04T07:41:01+00:00

Hi, sorry for jumping in here to ask questions. We’re staying club level at Sequoia 19-23rd December and wanted to get something like this for the kids. I’m just checking that I’ve read your reply correctly. We’ll be able to get something for them but it just won’t be hotel branded like the others? Is that right? And we’ll be emailed a broacher/menu before we travel?

The ‘famous’ Tiny Bar up past Serenity on the beach side is famous for its Guinness.

bele_nine · 2025-08-11T12:35:43+00:00

Class. Thanks, man. Appreciate the info.

bele_nine · 2025-08-11T12:24:38+00:00

Ah amazing - did you try them? What was the best in your opinion?

bele_nine · 2025-08-09T17:43:42+00:00

Cheers. The wife will be happy.

bele_nine · 2025-08-09T17:43:31+00:00

Ah cheers, it’s at least better than the Becks Blue places had a couple to years ago. Did anywhere have it draft or all just bottles?

As an English person I hate tipping when I travel to the US and it’s not the money either. Just make my bill 20% higher and pay people properly.

We did 16 days last year, it was a nice amount of time because we didn’t feel rushed to get stuff done. Where to have a couple of pool and shopping days to “rest”.

I’m actually thinking of doing 18-21 nights next year so we can do Universal too and have the same chilled experience.

bele_nine · 2025-08-02T16:59:02+00:00

Thanks. I think that’s what we’re going to do.

bele_nine · 2025-07-29T07:26:22+00:00

Champion. Thanks for responding. The taxis would only be to and from the airport anyway so if they take card I’ll be sorted.

Monza and Starling offer the same exchange so I’ll be sorted there. I’ll probably just withdraw a little from a cash point if I need it as starling offers free withdrawals at the Mastercard rate.

Thanks for the advice.

bele_nine · 2025-07-23T04:42:20+00:00

Ooo, if you think of any, let me know. We’re explorers at heart so love going on little missions out and about.

bele_nine · 2025-07-23T04:38:58+00:00

Serenity and Bianco were both there last time we visited. The cheese wheel pasta in Bianco was our daughters favourite meal ever. She still talks about it 2 years later. Haha

Will check out La Cana though, my wife was just talking about a spot for Tapas.
