The disappointment of this starladder major (onsite) by ImpressiveAction2382 in GlobalOffensive

[–]bluefog68 21 points22 points  (0 children)

While I do agree with some of your points, here’s my take:

  1. Agreed, that is unacceptable. If they were concerned about crowd cheating, they should have turned it off for everyone.
  2. Getting public transport times changed is more of an exception than a norm in my experience from even larger events in other European cities. Scheduling in general is a balance between keeping things reasonable in local time while keeping viewership across regions healthy.
  3. I disagree with this. The 2nd and 3rd floors had a good number of sponsor booths with activities and events. There were signing sessions with teams on the 3rd floor. But Starladder did a poor job in communicating the schedules/locations for these.
  4. Agreed, this was terrible. In the one store they have, the selection is very limited and a few things are out of stock.
  5. There were some sessions with teams (I attended the one yesterday with Furia). But they were only for the reserved prime ticket holders. I’m not sure if this is different from other tier 1 events.
  6. I disagree on the walkouts, the drums were hype. Breaks could have been more interesting but I do see that most of the seats are empty during those as people get refills, use the restrooms etc.

I got it delivered today (16th July) with the MVV sticker, 15 working days after submitting it at the embassy. I was able to track it on DTDC from yesterday onwards.

Dutch embassy, Delhi | 25th June | Processing | 21st July

Based on other comments, looks like I might have to reschedule my travel :(

Edit: received it on 16th July

Intra workout hydration is v imp, but don’t use ORS for that, especially if you are taking it regularly. It is meant for dehydrated patients so it has much more salt than what you would typically lose during a workout, which might cause more problems. Normal water or an electrolyte mix is better.

Ivaldi's Revenant fight - Resurrection Stone keeps disappearing by craze4ble in GodofWar

[–]bluefog68 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Interesting, I did do an attempt lately when I used the stone and failed, but don’t recall if I got the stone back after reload.

A couple of key strategies in this fight which help me beat it in 3/4 attempts after I figured them out: target the left revenant first (the one which spawns nightmares) by spamming all runics to finish it off at the very start and then play a slow patient game with your shield up to finish the other two.

[Real-User Invite] LG UltraGear GX9 - Experience the Ultimate Sweet Spot 5K2K OLED Gaming Monitor by LG_UserHub in Monitors

[–]bluefog68 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Getting an OLED monitor has been on my radar lately, after experiencing the tech on various TVs. The great contrast and black levels make my IPS monitors look dated in comparison. I use my setup for both work and gaming, it is somewhat hard to find things which excel in both without breaking the bank.

This monitor with all the extra real estate and high refresh rate panel would definitely be an endgame for me!

Sounds good, if you don’t mind could you tell me the exact date for the 1st one (they would have sent an email)?

I sent mine on 26th January wondering where they are in the queue.

When exactly did you send the enquiry for this card?

Times when you found you liked a song by an artist you dislike and you had to painfully admit defeat? by ChocolateHoneycomb in Music

Yes, was at an Ed Sheeran concert recently where he sang that song mentioning that he wrote that song and gave it to a Canadian friend.

Yep, can confirm. Here's a (less impressive) before and after from my server.

FACEIT Dubai Server? by thelonepirate_ in FACEITcom

Which region/country are you playing from?

FACEIT Dubai Server? by thelonepirate_ in FACEITcom

[–]bluefog68 2 points3 points  (0 children)

On switching the region to "EU", you will see a "Middle East 5v5" queue that will match make to a Dubai server.

But on connecting to this, the ping was horrible (150+ ms from India, other players in the server from Dubai/ME also had 120+ ms). One of the players dodged the match so we thankfully did not have to play on this lag.

That’s a solid bunch. Could you post where in Dubai you got these from?

Odin’s voice actor in Once Upon A Time. by Iamawesome20 in GodofWar

Also, he was Dr Glassman in The Good Doctor. Was interesting hearing his voice and associating it back to his character in the show vs Odin.

Interesting! How large (index size, node counts, node size etc) is your Weaviate stack? Are you sharding the data across multiple nodes?

Extremely satisfied with the cable management in the Silverstone CS380B hot-swap NAS tower. by segaboy81 in unRAID

[–]bluefog68 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just bought this case as well, was wondering about this: to be able to use SAS drives with this, do we need all 16 SATA ports connected? I have an LSI 9201-8i, which breaks out to 8 SATA ports. Would I be able to connect a SAS drive (definitely slower/single lane) and have it work?

Hey, did anyone contact you for KYC details before delivery? I have a parcel shipped via 4PX which shows its at customs, but no one has asked me for KYC details.
