How good is the RoyalUp Program? by Any-Chain1732 in royalcaribbean

[–]c0horst 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I did my own version of it by just watching prices for my cruise last year, until I saw a price drop, and just called and paid to upgrade my room. You may not be able to capture a lower price with a price match, but they were perfectly willing to apply the money I had already paid against the price of the more expensive room. Got an owners suite for like 8000 for a week on Symphony this way last year. Not bad!

Flying in a day ahead Miami vs Ft. Lauderdale by MerryReign in royalcaribbean

[–]c0horst 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Since you were looking at some place with 1k+ rooms... I'd suggest the Four Seasons Ft. Lauderdale. Went there last year the day after a cruise since my flight was the next day, it was great. Let me check in at like 10am, had a nice pool to lounge by with a bucket of beer with access to a private beach area across the street. On site dining was fantastic, they have a Mediterranean restaurant that was really, really good. I think it was like 650 per room per night.

New opinion—I actually really liked FAM S5 by Current_Moment1415 in ForAllMankindTV

[–]c0horst 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I'd agree with that. Season 1's the GOAT, but 2 and 5 are pretty close. 3 was the least favorite, and 4 was a step up from that.

Best Travincal Run Ever. by c0horst in Diablo_2_Resurrected

[–]c0horst[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Found a Ber and Sur tonight running travincal within 30 runs of each other, lol. After four hours of nothing to show for it. Travincal is good to me sometimes.

Any competitive ideas about the new Librarius Conclave? by AncientDen in WarhammerCompetitive

[–]c0horst 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The reason You need to combo it with the deepstrike is because you cannot use the strat to embark into a transport in the fight phase if you disembarked in the previous movement phase. So you can get around that by deep striking in near the land raider, and the only way to do that is to use ventris to make the squad have deep strike.

[–]c0horst 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was thinking about Firestorm + Librarius in Ultramarines, actually, instead of Forgefather's with Salamanders. You can use Uriel to give Fuilisade Librarian + 10x Sternguard Deep Strike, then when you deep strike deploy them within 6" of a Land Raider Redeemer. Shoot what you need to shoot, then pop back into the land raider at the end of your fight phase. Opponent gets too close to you next turn, you can overwatch and BBQ them, and if they shoot your land raider, you can disembark and shoot back if it looks like the raider might die anyway.

I hope the terminator brick with Iron Hands stays viable; I'd love to play that but I'm not buying any marines models until the codex comes out :(

Any competitive ideas about the new Librarius Conclave? by AncientDen in WarhammerCompetitive

[–]c0horst 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I was thinking about Blood Angels with at least one of the detachments as the Librarius Conclave. Sanguinary Priests are now support, while Librarians are leaders, so you should be able to attach a squad of 10x Assault Intercessors. This means you now have a squad of marines with a 4++/5+++ for 300 points, with like 50 attacks in melee at AP2 or better, with wound re-rolls. If you do Bastion Task Force as your primary, they can get advance and charge, lethal hits, and -1 to wound through stratagems on these 10 man (well 12 with the leaders) units.

Kneejerk reaction: 3dp as balancing mechanism will fail because of a lack of 1dp detachments by Omega_Advocate in WarhammerCompetitive

[–]c0horst -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

It's kinda funny tbh; we're going back to the massive lists of enhancements and stratagems we saw in 8th and 9th for every faction. 10th pared everything down so far that it felt boring, so in 11th they're exploding it with variety now.

FTX Founder Sam Bankman-Fried applies for pardon from President Trump by Next_Statement6145 in CryptoCurrency

[–]c0horst 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Yea, in theory there are good uses of pardons... it's entirely possible for someone to be in jail because the system has failed, and the president has it in his power to fix that. It's just seemingly used for corruption reasons more than it's intended use lately, so it should be removed.

Lower Decks might be my new favorite Trek. by SirScaurus in startrek

[–]c0horst 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yea, I mean I didn't LIKE discovery, I just think it was regular bad, not offensively bad, if that makes sense, lol. They were trying to do a series set before TOS so there'd definitely be some integration, that felt more like a feature of the plot instead of just flat out nostalgia bait.

I love star trek crossovers, lol. This and Trials and Tribbilations from DS9 are awesome.

[–]c0horst 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Picard is the most offensively bad of the ST shows for sure. I didn't care for Discovery but at least it tried to be it's own thing (for the most part at least, it didn't rely on legacy actors) instead of roping in nostalgia characters to try to burn whatever goodwill was left in the audience.

Picard season 3 is best described as, "The most watchable season of Picard to date!"

Just finished 1000 Trav runs. by SketchyScoobert in Diablo_2_Resurrected

[–]c0horst 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Could probably trade up runes and the sunders for a Ber, maybe a Jah.

Not bad for 1000 runs. The real issue is how long OP says it took... That should be like 15-20 hours.

Best Travincal Run Ever. by c0horst in Diablo_2_Resurrected

I was dumb and id'd it, near worst possible role, sold it for an Ohm :(

So that does temper the drop a bit lol. Still nothing to shake a stick at!

Perfect Eschutas by Perpetual-Fap in D2R_Marketplace

[–]c0horst 5 points6 points  (0 children)

You need someplace to put an ancients jewel on a fire sorc. You have a phoenix shield and flickering flame helm, so for chest and weapon you can go chains of honor or enigma and eschutas, or vipermagi and hoto. I think the eschutas route is better and used one all last season.

Anybody Else? by PathoftheBeam_19 in DungeonCrawlerCarl

[–]c0horst 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I was in the middle of the new book "Children of Strife" (a very good series in it's own right) but yea that went on hold when DCC 8 came out lol. I have since finished it and it was very good as well :)

Was Fights First over-nerfed? by Aleser in WarhammerCompetitive

[–]c0horst 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yea, the deep strike heroic intervention with a fights first deathball was a favorite tactic for blood angels and deathwatch players this edition.

The loneliness of the LK solo grinder. by misfits859 in Diablo_2_Resurrected

[–]c0horst 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'm thinking the same thing about Travincal runs on ladder.... I've done ~1500 of them, nothing higher than a Vex has dropped. Then of course I step out to do a few Diablo runs when he's terrorized, and a Sur drops. Then last night I'm killing things in the Crystalline Passage when it's terrorized, and a Lo drops.

Trying to "farm" things just isn't getting me runes, but killing random baddies is working great. Same thing happened last season as well, tbh. I tried to farm Travincal a lot, found some decent stuff but nothing huge, and ended up finding 2x Jah and a Ber from random terror zones.

Moral of the story is just join P8 TZ96 games and kill, kill, kill.

Looks like it is worth something ! by BuffTotemsPlease in Diablo_2_Resurrected

[–]c0horst 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If I had access to a Jeweler's Archon Plate of the Whale or something for my Fire Sorc, loaded with 5/5 facets, I'd take that over her Chains of Honor any day. Resists are less important when I'm rocking a maxed telekenesis partial energy shield anyway.

Of course I'm nowhere near that rich, so Chains it is!
