Wanted to offer a space to share good memories, shoutouts, etc. for those who were able to go to TwitchCon and meet OTV and Just Friends and their related friends. I'll have mines in a comment below.

Suffice to say I'm glad that I was able to go and meet most of them! I was even able to get them to sign my otamatone (got scuffed a little, but that's ok, maybe I'll just have to get them to resign and myself take better care of it!): https://imgur.com/a/8QoVyLb

Given that these are pretty expensive cars, I see a lot of people springing for them. In some states, tint is more of a necessity than an option; furthermore I do see people tend to spring for the more expensive tint as well.

I'm aware of the reasonings to get those, so I'm interested to hear from those who choose to skip out on a number of them or compromise somehow. What are your reasonings to do so?

(FWIW right now I'm planning to just tint my car, though the amount is under debate)

edit: why the downvotes? this isn't even shaming / making fun of those who get it (if i had more $$$ leftover I would more easily spring for a bunch of these things without a second thought).

edit 2: wow t

With the removal of the 60kWh battery for the Model S, I also observed that a few other things were changed:

• High amperage charger seems to be tied to 100kWh model only. Select anything less and the option isn't there. It's also "included" in the cost of the model. http://imgur.com/fE0bJzu

• The solid metal roof is no longer an option; only the glass and sunroof is present. I hope this is a mistake but it doesn't look like it? http://imgur.com/uG0ZkGE

• Smart Air Suspension is no longer available on the 75kWh. Only on the 90kWh and up. http://imgur.com/olTwV6O

• Rear auto liftgate now included http://imgur.com/xJh5fOw

Probably more changes elsewhere. I am also unsure of the exact pric

The last thread I found on here was fairly old, so I was wondering if anyone can comment on how Gigapower is now. Are the speeds good and consistent? How about ping and line quality for gaming? Right now I play Overwatch and on Comcast some servers are giving me 70-75ms ping due to seemingly wanting to route to East coast before heading across the US. Ironically if I go to my parent's home where they have entouch I get 35-40ms.

After seeing the video on Digital Foundry I wanted to try out the Gravity Rush 2 demo. I was just going through the tutorial and for some reason controlling the direction for the fall was really difficult for me. It wasn't till I played around for a little bit did I figured out the pitch axis for the gravity direction fall was normal on the Y-axis since it was tied to the left stick.

Even though there's an invert option for the camera I don't know if there's a similar one for the left stick. The demo also appears to lock the controls menu, so I can't see if there's even an option to invert Y for the left stick.

I guess I can try to get used to the left control. But being a lifetime invert

Lucio is seen especially in the higher and pro ranks as a must-pick for virtually all maps and matchups. Based on what I read this is mainly tied not so much the healing but the speed boost he can give. It almost feels like he's necessary in order to be able to reach the point on time (especially for KOTH), and if you don't have him you're automatically put on a disadvantage especially if the other teams has one and you don't.

So this has gotten me to wonder about the following:

• Is the assumption about (about his speed boosting abilities) true for the reason for the must pick?
• What about in situations other than trying to reach the point first? How important is the speed increase then?

I kind of feel that the enemies for the main quest line should have scaled up in relation to your party level. Of course it should be done in a manner where's there's still incentive to level up, and if you really wanted to you could over level, but right now I feel your kind of punished for doing a bunch of side quests early in the game. I know of the accessory to block XP being added, but that takes up a slot, and is harder to manage if you're not doing a lvl 1 run.

Fighting became way too easy, with me burning through the enemies like butter, especially chapter 9-

As of now all of the 4K HDR displays are all giant TV screens, at least that I'm aware of. However, are there any smaller screens that has those features that are smaller in size (like <40 inch) that the ps4 pro can take full advantage of? Right now my computer monitor doubles as my PS4 display, so it would be nice to get something that could do HDR and 4k if I so desired while doubling nicely as an upgraded computer screen. The usual low latency stuff would apply. Don't really need audio on it as I just use the headphone jack on the controller. Thanks!

I just took a second look at my hotel bill for the Olive 8, and they have listed on there parking valet charges for my entire stay. This is crazy as I flew in from out of town and did not drive at all. Sadly this is not the first time that Hyatt has done this to me, as this actually happened to me at SDCC too.

I'm visiting Seattle for a vacation, and it got me wondering how all of the chip and pin cards from Canadian visitors to the border states are working out, since there probably would be more of them there. Are there accommodations, or they just deal with it if pins are required, or are machines set up to do signature only? I would assume it would be some kind of mix. Thanks!

I've always wondered why my ping would be in the 60-80ms range (Comcast in Houston), but then when I got visit my parents' house (who use a different ISP, entouch), I get closer to 40ms ping. It turns out that based on the tracert, the traffic to Blizzard's servers appears to route through Georgia and Virginia (based on the domain names) before zipping all the way across the country, which adds a significant chunk of latency.

A similar check with google seems to indicate that it goes directly to the west coast.

So what I'm wondering is, where are the Overwatch servers located? And if this is an issue on Comcast's side (I know this isn't an Comcast forum), who can I ask about this? Being a

Blizzcon every year usually has portraits and stuff that are only available if you attend Blizzcon and/or get the virtual ticket, and it stands reasonable to assume that Overwatch will get the same treatment this year. Once the event has passed, you can't get it anymore. Technically wouldn't that mean that you would not reach "100%" in the game if you can't get that skin/portrait/spray/etc? But I didn't see people complain about those exclusives back in the day with other games.

I can see the point of others that you should at least be able to buy a specific skin/item/etc, and their anger seems to focus more so on the RNG nature of this. But I think some others are taking too far to say tha
