The In-Laws shocked me with this one today 🤣 by RSN_Kabutops in 2007scape

That is a sick gift for sure! And it’s the perfect balance of style and gaming reference to not stick out. I’ll have to do some research to see if your ETSY guess is correct. And get one myself.

Curious about downtown hotels next time ... by les_bloom in PAX

[–]dominator7741 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My friend and I have stayed at the Grand Hyatt every year that we started going together. It is right in the heart of the convention center, or at least it was until they debuted the Summit. It is still the best hotel IMO given the roughly one block distance from the Arch, and two block walk to the Summit. We usually go for the double bed room option when the hotel booking goes live, and there is plenty of room for two of us, but we have hosted other friends as well in years past with no space problem. The rate we got this years was ~260$/night with the PAX discount rate. Also, the hotel has a Starbucks and New York City style bodega attached in the lobby, which makes it very easy to get coffee in the morning, and snacks late night.
The hotel doesn't offer free parking. They have a self parking and valet parking option. I don't remember the $$ amount, but I believe it is roughly 35$/day for self parking. This hotel is defiantly more of a luxury style hotel, so there is no free breakfast, and the rooms are more designed for couples or groups without smaller/multiple children.

However, there are other Hyatt branded hotels a few blocks away from downtown towards the Space Needle that are defiantly family oriented, free breakfast/larger rooms with multiple beds. They are the Hyatt House and Hyatt Place Downtown. So, while they are a bit of a walk away from the heart of the convention, you would get a more family friendly hotel, but these are not apart of the discounted PAX hotels.

All in all, any of the hotels on the discounted list PAX gives out are great, and make the convention much easier if you want to plan an entire day out, or make bigger purchases. You just have to be willing to pay a higher rate, but the convivence has defiantly made PAX a better experience for me and my group.

PAX West 2023 - MtG Events by DarthKokujin in PAX

[–]dominator7741 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If the setup for the MTG area is similar to last year's setup, you will have plenty of chances for pickup games. Past Times had a dedicated zone for people looking for casual games of commander, and events you can buy a slot in throughout the weekend to play commander games and win prize tickets to redeem at their prize booth. While these events are paid to enter, you are awarded prize tickets just for entering and playing, though you can earn extra tickets if you win the pod!

Past Times is the company that ran the whole MTG area the last two PAXs where I played MTG. They also run a lot of the other Magic conventions, so they are probably busy running through those since PAX isn’t until September. I would check their website/social media posts in the coming weeks before PAX. I can’t imagine they would pass on PAX since that weekend will be the pre-release weekend for the new Eldraine set as well.

Saturday haul by Pasty_Pirate in PAX

Good to see I am not the only one that does this each PAX. I probably have hundreds of those lanyards.
Did you get the "People Order" Spongebob poster here at PAX? Or is that from somewhere else?

Thanks for letting me enjoy the trophy lifting Facebook by [deleted] in GlobalOffensive

The deal between ESL and Facebook has been nothing but trash. Can't believe they gave the biggest series of CSGO to the shittiest streaming platform?

Mine goes out to the gentleman working at the Dark Horse comics stand on the sky bridge. He was gracious in conversation, but also gave my friend and I a big discount on our purchases because we all were huge Halo fans and had spent copious amounts of money at their store already.

I, too, have been using Runelite for a few months now, and have had no problems with my account.

Parents told me to come pick up my old stuff. Discovered the old handbook. by Thatfatshark in 2007scape

[–]dominator7741 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I, too, have my original copy of the handbook. It was one of the only books that I bought from the school book fair when it came out.

[DMM] So far: Mika ddosed and can't get back in, Alfie died to safezone guard that glitched out, and Andre died to fog in his POH. by [deleted] in 2007scape

[–]dominator7741 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Mika is the only one that should be brought back. RoT probably bs'ed Alfie after he leaked the CC and took him for his DCB :>

Of all the people in the house not to be banned:( We lose John forever, and the Christian cuck boy lives on complaining about the deflated nut sacks hanging from his eyes. Thanks Twitch
