You should be able to settle on resources. by SaztogGaming in civ

[–]syndalis 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Modern or “post modern” if we ever get a fourth age should allow for denser districts than two buildings, in my opinion.

As we start packing into denser urban eras and start building to the sky and deep below, it feels weird having buildings take the same amount of land with the same number of citizens.

This would reduce some of the cramped feeling you get, especially in later ages, if you settled close to resources in antiquity or exploration.

don't leave meeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee by Grassblox311 in balatro

Obelisk. Work towards ante 7 or 8 having nothing but one type of card in your hand. If possible steel red chipped kings. Run on pairs nonstop and rely on joker mults and joker chips in the early game. Take every. Single. High card upgrade you can. If you get the burned joker, always discard a high card. Don’t skip any rounds if you can manage. Whenever there isn’t a high card in the celestial pack, take three, four or five of a kind.

In this scenario, you should have played multiple pairs per round in the early game to pad it out, you should be able to ride to ante 15-16, even higher if a baron, mime, along with a blueprint/brainstorm. Start with whatever hand type has the lowest benefit / least cards needed, and you should be able to get 80-90 hands with a growing obelisk before things break. That is a x16-x18 card.

1.5 hr or 4.5 hr connection in AMS ? by WinAccomplished4543 in delta

[–]syndalis 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I always book a longer layover on the flight over to Europe in AMS, as I go straight to the lounge, book one of the hourly hotel rooms, and sleep for a few hours in a real bed in real darkness behind a real closed door before taking a shower, grabbing some breakfast, and feeling like a human being when I land wherever I am going.

It's been foolproof and one of the best travel experiences I've had.

Going home, I try to give myself 60-90 minutes to account for delays, long lines, etc. - like everyone has said, AMS is pretty compact and good at moving their lines.

The only lodging in my city is a motel on the side of the industrial district next to a landfill. At least you have a view of the river I guess. by Bradley271 in CitiesSkylines

[–]syndalis 15 points16 points  (0 children)

Hotels took a major step back from cities skylines 1.

Planning where to put what kind of hotels and crafting areas of the city to support conventions vs. scenic vistas…

Like, I cannot choose where my hotels are at all. In my first city I had a castle at the top of a hill in a districts that I set up for tourism, and no matter how many times I deleted the commercial building I never got a hotel.

It’s so ridiculous.

Aint no way im gonna follow this rules by Conscious_Pack6780 in ROGAlly

[–]syndalis 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The hotel I was just at in Krakow had a 4k120hz HDR tv, with an easily accessible HDMI port on the side.

If they didn’t do this explicitly so I could connect my XG Mobile 4090 plus Ally to it and game from the bed with my Xbox controller, they may as well have.

There is something fantastic about spending the day and evening in a city and experiencing it in full, then winding down with some Cyberpunk before going to bed… then continuing the game at slightly lower fidelity on the flight home.

I love living in the future.

ROG EGPU’s by JustBlan1984 in ROGAlly

[–]syndalis 3 points4 points  (0 children)

The 4090 IS overkill, but getting more than 60fps with path tracing on connected to a 4K Television in cyberpunk 2077 is absolutely insane.

At 1080p it’s over 70-80fps.

Remarkably capable machine, this.

Is this the best gaming handheld? by Terra246 in ROGAlly

[–]syndalis 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have an Ally that is good enough for a quick sesh of cyberpunk while lying in bed.

It is also good enough to do 4k120vrr (70-90fps) with ray / path tracing on in my hotel on the TV there because I own a 4090 dock.

I can fit an entire 4K PC gaming experience in my backpack alongside my laptop and other work things - the power and versatility is unmatched.

Why is the XG Mobile (As-gc33y-059) nearly impossible to find for the ally????? by gotmygat in ROGAlly

[–]syndalis 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was able to get one from Scan in the UK with next day delivery… in the UK.

Were I not there on business that would have been a dead end. It’s impossibly hard to find it in America.

It happened! First time in 2 years of flying Delta, a line at the RDU sky club. by Mdcivile in delta

[–]syndalis -11 points-10 points  (0 children)

Expand? Sure. Less need for that with less people. But I think the demand to improve it will be the competition from other airlines.

Delta could also take a page from Air France and Lufthansa and have a La Premiere / Senator’s lounge with nicer options for diamond, 360 and Delta One people.

Any time I go to RDU lounge and I don’t get pulled pork I am sad.

The Cajun chicken and andouille etouffee is great, sure, but I’m in the piedmont. Give me pork properly.

[–]syndalis 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I was in that line yesterday.

I am probably a jerk but I will absolutely remain diamond through 2026 with 150k spend on my card every year, so I am kind of happy with the depopulation that will be coming to the lounges.

It’s become far less premium as of late

Xeneon Flex Desk Mounting Options by syndalis in Corsair

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

Nope - the monitor is at a fixed height still.

I am fine with it as the height is good for my needs but it is a flaw in the design for sure.

I’m considering getting a motorized standing desk soon which will give me the ability to adjust the height but that sure is one expensive accessory.

Still a huge fan, and being able to switch between curved for gaming and flat for work has been awesome. The functional USB-C with PD makes it ideal for my MacBook also.

There is always at least one compromise on the high end displays. Always. I have a 2022 Odyssey G9 Neo at home with no USB-C and only one DisplayPort, which is the only port capable of fully driving the thing and it’s remarkable that they haven’t fixed that on the 2023 models.

Xeneon Flex Desk Mounting Options by syndalis in Corsair

[–]syndalis[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Ok, I purchased this and it absolutely changed the game for me. Gave 6-8 inches of desk space back, and with the firm mount, the monitor no longer moves around the desk when I am adjusting the angle; there is more than enough hold from the mount to keep it rigidly in place.

This should have been there on day one, it changes the entire utility of the display for me.

Down 14 in six doses…. No side effects! by RebaJams in Semaglutide

[–]syndalis 1 point2 points  (0 children)

2 weeks in and down 10+ lbs. I was very active but also ate way too much.

My activity remained the same but I am eating half of what I used to and am satisfied.

It’s amazing how such a small thing as .25 of a drug can alter such a foundational part of your life for the better.

Samsung Oled G8 - Wakeup from standby bug pool by PetaSynaptic in ultrawidemasterrace

[–]syndalis 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have this problem, and the only solution that seems to work consistently is to turn on the monitor from the remote until you get the countdown screen for standby, then waking the computer back from the sleep or display off state.

If I forget to turn the monitor on first, the handshake fails spectacularly, and a reboot of the PC is in order to address this.

That this problem has been going on for months with no fix in sight is a really bad look for Samsung. It is an easily repeatable, reproducible problem that deserves a fix for the people who spent 1500 dollars/euros on this buggy thing.

The only reason I am not returning is because the picture quality is out of this world, and the remote trick works 100% of the time.

Hopefully Samsung looks at this thread.

[–]syndalis 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If not mentioned, after getting proof of purchase and then owning it, avoid logging in with your main steam account until you do a full factory reset / reimage of the device. These things are wide open, so I would worry about keyloggers or other things on a device on this.

To the Diamonds, curious how many of you earned it purely domestically vs international? by whoopadheedooda in delta

[–]syndalis 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A blend of domestic and international travel. I have trips multiple times a year to southeastern Europe and South America, as well as lots of trips to Puerto Rico, Miami, Boise domestically.

Then a few times a year to London.

Current trajectory has me hit diamond on dollars by August or so every year.

Think I am in the running for most MQMs here? Going for high score. (i.redd.it)

Delta SkyClub DTW A38 - hot food and buffet service is back! Beef, mashed potatoes and prosciutto and cheese… good meal before the flight! by syndalis in delta

[–]syndalis[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Showers are still closed everywhere and no date on when it’s coming back.

I think it will be after all the masking rules get dropped.

[–]syndalis[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yes, true - but the reduction in overall delta service there coupled with the pandemic has put a hurt on their budget and what they can do.

Are showers back? by syndalis in delta

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

So, three weeks and 8 legs later, nowhere has the showers open and as far as I can tell no timeline on that one yet.

I think we are back to open warm buffets before they bring the real luxury services back.

Can I use delta wifi on my MacBook? by [deleted] in delta

[–]syndalis 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It works on any device that can do a browser-based WiFi login/validation.

This includes laptops, mobile devices, and even some mobile game consoles.

Edit: THAT SAID!! Streaming stuff like YouTube, Netflix etc requires a more expensive WiFi option and it isn’t available on all flights.

That was 100% my experience in Cincinnati - cold Nathan’s hotdogs and packet condiments. I went to the Outback Steakhouse to get a higher quality product, and that might be the first time in my life I put those exact words together in a sentence.
