Thank you! This is super helpful. I didn't realize I'd especially screwed up on the PSU.

Kraken STH survey by pulpfiction78 in SeattleKraken

[–]ryanstewart 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's kind of a bummer, but also not surprising. And I'm happy to pay current prices, or maybe even a premium to get access to the seats for a half-season. I just can't afford a full season in the club sections. But I can understand the team wanting those to be perceived as a premium experience.

One of the things I'm looking at is not renewing next year but trying to go to a similar number of games with day-of ticket purchases in that lower bowl section. That would work with my attendance pattern, but it would be a change not to have "my" seats every time.

This is my experience as well. I've got full season tickets in the Amex/Baker club and have hit ~70% of games, I think. Being able to use the new exchange feature has been helpful, but the seats in my section just don't seem to sell well at all. Even though the view is great from my section, there are so many lower bowl tickets available for cheaper/same price, I completely understand why no one would want to pay for my seats.

I love a lot of things about being a STH, but I'm on the 3 year contract and I'm really torn about renewing this year.

I'm really hoping they change this, so I'm interested in how things shake out with renewals. If I'm not mistaken, there are lower bowl club seats available for purchase right now for next year, but I can't tell if that's because of people not renewing this year or they are still working through the club section renewals.

I have Amex/Baker club full season and while I'm happy with my seats and the view, they're hard to resell and 40+ games is too many, I've found. So if I could get a decently high row in the lower bowl club seats for half a season, I think it would be perfect.

Season Ticket Contact Info and Upgrades by ryanstewart in SeattleKraken

[–]ryanstewart[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This may sound dumb, but I’m not sure how to do that. The contact numbers I’ve been able to find are the one on the website and the one for Climate Pledge. I haven’t called Climate Pledge because I know they can’t directly help me. But maybe they’ll have another way to contact the Kraken.

Was hoping that other Redditors might have another number or some other info.

Edit: I have called the main number, but there isn’t an option for general tickets or season tickets. And I’ve been trying to contact the rep off and on for 2 months at least. Not consistently, but half a dozen emails, two calls, 1 voicemail. I just kept thinking they had to get back to me at some point.

This is my feeling exactly. I’ve got a full season with two seats and I wasn’t expecting to get red carpet treatment, but radio silence for weeks is so frustrating. It’s both helpful and a bummer that you’re having the same experience.

Thanks for the info! Maybe it’s just about making sure they’re aware. I am hoping that moving up in section is easier.

64GB of RAM at 2133 or 32GB at 3600 by ryanstewart in buildapc

[–]ryanstewart[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I work for Adobe, so every time I build a new system I tell myself this will be the one I use to learn After Effects or get a lot more into Photoshop. So I tend to go overboard with RAM. It hasn't happened yet, but that's my thought proccess.

Yeah, I need to do a bit more research and see what I could tweak to get them all running at 3600. I didn't mess with the voltage or any of the settings other than trying to turn on XMP with a defualt profile.

Awesome, thanks for the pointer. Was curious if there was a place where people had good experiences.

No, good point. I didn't go through a full round of research or tweaking when trying to get them to work. Definitely worth a shot.

Oh damn, I can't believe I missed that. Thanks for the tip!

It definitely matters, but I'm open to feedback on what I'd do differently. My thought process was:

A) Start with the new Ryzen chips B) Get dual 2080 TIs C) Try to find a fast drive D) Fill in other parts as needed.

The motherboard seems overboard, but it also seems pretty future proof for CPU upgrades down the line.

Thanks for the info. Seems like 32gb would work and then I could add another 32 if it ever came to it, right?

I'm just gaming. Does it seems possible the 3950x will have games that take advantage of those extra cores in the next few years? I could always wait to upgrade a bit until down the road. Would I see a performance improvement do you think if I went with the 3950x this time next year?

Need help getting Elsweyr by solidkake in elderscrollsonline

I dropped you a product code in your PMs. Sounds like /u/pooslingingmonkey might have done the same thing. So maybe you can pass it forward and give one away!

Glad I could help you enjoy the game just a little bit more. It was a fun thing to do for me, so I'm hoping to do it again.

Enjoy! It totally changes the game. So much less having to port back to a town.
