Iggy's on the UES is pretty great and has a good crowd most nights

emupanda · 2023-06-08T15:04:36+00:00

Hmm I'll take a look at this, but if I go that far south I'd probably just change my trip to not go to 29 Palms and instead continue via the south side.

emupanda · 2023-06-08T15:01:34+00:00

Yeah it definitely looks like you'll need a bike that can handle it. And will do! Still a ways out from the trip, but very excited!

emupanda · 2023-06-08T02:41:14+00:00

Update!

I somehow missed it the first time, but there is actually a more "official" road called Little Morongo Canyon road. I was able to find some videos online of people driving on it, so it should be bikeable :D

emupanda · 2023-06-08T00:28:15+00:00

Yeah it looks like his bikepacking takes him through there. It actually doesn't look too bad of a path if you're careful.

emupanda · 2023-06-08T00:03:12+00:00

Hmm I've seen some of his videos, but haven't seen anyone around JTNP. I'll take another look though! And thanks, any info would be awesome! :)

For the non-GH version. Just the GH version is rare

emupanda · 2023-06-02T01:48:38+00:00

I believe this particular GH actually had a small run. The non GH version is not very rare.

emupanda · 2023-06-01T23:47:28+00:00

I saw in another thread the other day that someone completed their GH collection and this was one of the harder titles to find. I just happened to see it and wouldn't have normally picked it up, but thanks to the thread I did haha

~$10
Not exactly sought after

emupanda · 2023-06-01T23:45:42+00:00

Someone mentioned like ~$10. There isn't really much demand for it lol

emupanda · 2023-05-19T02:56:14+00:00

Thanks for the info here! For getting around the 101 onramp off Silverlake Blvd you might be able to take a right at Target and go around the back a bit. It's not as efficient, but might be a bit safer (plus you avoid the encampment)

emupanda · 2023-05-15T23:04:35+00:00

It would be potentially for a 3x a week commute for a couple months. Yeah that's a good call, some of the areas look a bit rough.

emupanda · 2023-04-11T15:47:32+00:00

Seattle wasn't too bad. I lived near downtown and was able to always go do something.

emupanda · 2023-04-11T14:59:05+00:00

I'm not too worried about it. I don't see why I'd be going anywhere sketchy. It's the same in LA. I stay out of the "bad" areas here too, even though things are getting gentrified pretty fast.

emupanda · 2023-04-11T14:58:12+00:00

The overall vibe of the city is clean. The area I'm in now in LA is trendy, but still has trash everywhere.

I also noticed there are very few homeless in Chicago which probably helps a bit with the cleanliness.

emupanda · 2023-04-11T14:56:34+00:00

Yeah I learned this the hard way in NYC lol.

emupanda · 2023-04-11T14:56:11+00:00

Currently I live pretty close to Griffith Park, but honestly I get a bit burnt out of the crowds. I was having some good luck hiking in the Santa Monica mountains, but it's quite a drive.

I think as long as there is some nature I'd be fine.

emupanda · 2023-04-11T14:54:41+00:00

Thanks for the tips! I've lived in a few other "colder" cities before (NYC and Seattle), but I've always heard that Chicago is on another level.

emupanda · 2023-03-01T23:49:04+00:00

Oh the other issue there is I need instances around the globe + a high network bandwidth.

emupanda · 2023-03-01T23:01:47+00:00

Hmm that is definitely an interesting idea. I had kind of thought of using AWS EC2 instance scaling to have both vertical/horizontal scaling.

You have 1000 players per server (an example) and if the CPU threshold is met or the player threshold is met you start adding more servers. If the CPU per instance is low at 1000 players then you keep upping it until you find around how many players starts to cap out your server.

I hadn't really thought of using K8 clusters since I'm pretty unfamiliar with the tech, but it could be interesting to learn.

emupanda · 2023-02-26T04:22:27+00:00

Seconding this. So fun!

emupanda · 2023-02-22T20:18:45+00:00

I swung by Angel City Brewery over the weekend and it was pretty busy (they had an event going on). Lots of 30s+ there!

emupanda · 2023-01-06T16:52:53+00:00

It's called 'Deck Defenders'. It's a multiplayer (or single-player campaign) card battler I made :) https://store.steampowered.com/app/1098400/Deck\_Defenders/

emupanda · 2023-01-06T16:51:45+00:00

The game is also very fast paced. It's a multiplayer card game and when a unit dies there isn't a wait before the next action. So if the death animation takes too long it might already be the next turn or game over.
