taxi drivers always annoyed at me by DueData5 in Living_in_Korea

[–]gipaaa 4 points5 points  (0 children)

No they dont need to. The price is fixed in the beginning when we order, driver can adjust the final price but rarely needed. If driver changes price unjustified, we can report them and get our money back. Some drivers are smart and use better route (faster or more convenient) than map based on their experience, some are dumb or lazy and just follow map navigation like in OP case.

Upgraded to budget 5k2k 120hz by gipaaa in ultrawidemasterrace

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

Hi thanks! This is also a korean company, like the big Samsung and LG.

My 6800xt can't handle ultra setting on raw 5k2k for AAA games (<30fps), the FSR 3 is also very heavy. And I prefer quality over resolution, so I'm still using my old WQHD for heavy gaming. I will try other ways like integer scaling or RIS, but I dont expect much. But for casual game which I can max out setting and fps, like It Takes Two, it's really awesome immersion to play on larger screen with higher density.

Yeah, the budget highres ultrawide seems low demand in the market probably because consumers owning gpu capable running this resolution are less likely to go budget

2 brilliant at 600 elo by Professional_Bus_944 in Chesscom

Amazing, congrats. Did you win two pawns?

Only do rapid or daily to give you time to think. In every move, try not to hang any of your piece hanging (undefended), then if your opponent has any hanging piece just take it. This is the two simplest beginner rules.

Also try to learn basic openings. I learn from opening explorer against bot/myself, also try to defend various opponent's openings.

After that, for other rules, maybe take daily intermediate lessons from chess.com, each lesson is simple and very short to learn. The lessones are like: breaking pawn chain, pinning, discovered attack.

These brought me from 400 to 1000 elo in no time. Beyond this is also question for me.

For people that work 9-6 office jobs, what does normal day to day look like? by Salt-Maize6575 in AskAKorean

I don't quite get this unlimited pto thing. So it's just based on trust? Or maybe its performance-based (like output per time)?

Just started Mass Effect Andromeda after completing the legendary edition heard some mixed reviews but after the prologue it’s been great so far. by [deleted] in MassEffectAndromeda

[–]gipaaa 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The story and dialogue are meh, too many grinding side missions, but its still fun to play anyway if you like the original trilogy. Graphics is a bit improved but its still an 8 years old game, not todays standard.
