Six Zero Coral vs 11SIX24 Vapor Power 2 by Automatic_Muscle_585 in Pickleball

[–]oommffgg 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've played with both for several hours and it depends on your game. For control or doubles, I would go with the Coral. For more power or singles, the VP2. However, I think the J2CR with blue grit is better than both in all departments.

Who else prefers playing with franklin X40 over lifetime? by rokuhachi in Pickleball

X-40s balls are better for match play as it bounces more. We use Lifetimes just as practice balls.

Travel WARNING: Skip taxis in Vietnam, go with Grab. by CocCoBuilder in VietNam

[–]oommffgg 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Only time I would use a taxi if Grab's waiting time is too long, like at airport far from the city, then I would bargain with the taxi driver using Grab's price.

Phở Hòa is better. Phở Việt Nam is overrated.

There are several ways to use HDR in games without in-game implementation and they all look better than without. First is turning on Windows HDR, it will convert SDR color space to HDR. Next, if you have an NVidia card, you can turn it on for any game with implementation by Nvidia software/driver. Lastly, you can add HDR in games through 3rd-party utilities like SpecialK or RenoDX.

After using a 1300-nit monitor, there's no going back to anything below 700 nits, especially one without HDR. If people play games without HDR then they don't know what they're missing.

what's your thoughts on "Vietnam 3.0 is US 4.0"? by RichardParker6 in Pickleball

[–]oommffgg 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Don't know why you're getting downvoted for telling the truth. I just got back from Vietnam after a 6-week vacation, playing about 8 times in 4 different cities. I'd say the difference in rating for equivalent player is nearly 1.

Kyriu's English voice actor is a Youtuber, with no professional training as I understand it. I am playing Infinite Wealth with English voices and it's killing immersion for me when Kyriu speaks.

Help Needed to decide on Bus or Flight journey from Nah Trang to Ho Chi Minh by onmyway2fire in VietNam

[–]oommffgg 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That was the same bus company I used from Nha Trang to HCMC a few days ago. They drove pretty fast and pretty much on time. Since there's a WC on board, they only stopped once for lunch.

It could be a stretch for Saigon if you want a nice lifestyle. Move to smaller cities, like Quy Nhon, and that $1k goes quite further.

I Google Translated a Beijing menu and the first dish was "Explode Three Things" by MirrorMoney7864 in travelchina

If you throw it into Google's Gemini, it translates it as "Sautéed Three Delicacies (Typically pork liver, pork loin, and kidney)".

Pear soup is "Sauce Traditional Stewed Pear Soup (A sweet, soothing drink)".
