  1. just curious, can you not insert it directly into a USB port on your TV and just play?
  2. makes sense, I understand it a little more now. from a passive investing standpoint, I'm happy
  3. I need to renew PS Plus at discounted price. Please tag me if you see the deal thank you!
  4. Watched Ginny and Georgia on Netflix; needed something light and chill. Its entertaining, but has plotholes and has fair amount of the usual netflix teen romance cringe. Now watching Family Man on Prime, before Season 2 rolls around early next month. Its actually really good.
  5. Had a query: I have investments in the UTI Nifty index fund. Its classified as a mutual fund. I want to know how its different from an ETF which tracks the nifty index. I checked on Zerodha: The Mirae Asset Nifty 50 ETF has expense ratio 0.06% unlike 0.1% for UTI's Nifty MF. I guess MF is managed by a fund manager, hence higher fees, as opposed to an ETF. Also googling tells me that an ETF constantly updates, unlike the Mutual Fund which updates at the end of the day. Is there any advantage to switching over? Why is the option with lower fees less popular?
  6. any idea when amazon will have next sale? I'm pretty sure there is Independence Day sale, but any chance before that?
  7. Other amazon non-essential products are being delivered, but not this for some reason. Anyway I'm waiting for the 4K Fire Stick to go on sale, supposedly runs between 3.5K-4K?
  8. Yeah thats what I've been thinking of doing to get the series physically. For New Spring, the most popular spots are: After Book 7 (for spoilers sake) or after Book 10: publication order (doesn't matter now, of course) One can read anytime after Book 7 from my research. Since books 8-10 are said to be slow, I plan to read it somewhere in there to break things up and keep myself going. I have it all mapped out, New Spring I'll be reading in June. I want my WOT journey to end with A Memory of Light. and yes, the show is supposed to come later this year. S1 is finished. S2 has gotten the greenlight. waiting for a trailer/teaser.
  9. Gamestheshop will have stock on 27th as per their instagram. Probably very limited quantity.
  10. Yeah would've been a lot easier in regular college-going circumstances tbh. We're not having classes or any communication with the college right now due to a complete fiasco in April where college was forcing students to come to college physically for practical/lab classes. Admin full underground hai tabse, no update regarding when/how for 4th sem exams either. Gonna spend the summer trying to work on building skills while also having a good time (this is the book thread after-all and I'm having a great time reading these days) Unlikely that there will be any opportunities through the college until regular life resumes tbh, unless its placements.
  11. Thats in 3rd year as far as I'm aware. Also, from what I've heard from seniors internships are a lot more for tech/coding so idk if I will get an opportunity when the time rolls around either. Lets see.
  12. Time to jump on the ppbs soon then, cuz right now the covers and set is fantastic. Thats what happened to Witcher, and now you can't get the old editions and have to buy the netflix tie-in editions instead. I'm around 20% on Book 8 right now, though I would like to finish before the end of the month.
  13. Quite a few similarities - 1. Haha I'm 19 now, been reading WoT for a couple months, fantastic stuff. 2. I downloaded all of them using torrent as well, to read on my kindle. 3. I'm also on Book 8 right now, albeit this is my first read through of the series. I'm hyped for the show, but keeping my expectations low. PS. If you do wanna buy 'em, make sure to buy the series well before the show or you'll be stuck with tie-in editions or f**king 'as seen on amazon' stickers and all that nonsense. If you're willing to drop the cash, buy them while you can still get the entire matching set. Thats partially why I wanna get the paperbacks as well, but I want to save money to get a new phone later this year.
  14. have to find the internship first
  15. I'm really on the fence about buying Wheel of Time in paperback. I've read them on kindle so far (which is also more than fine, I read 90% stuff on kindle) I've been hesitant cuz with 15 books and avg price around 500 on amazon, getting the series is gonna run me around 7-8K...... At the same, I'm really loving the series and I kinda want the physical books.
  16. Yes, but its not exactly the most convenient. and I use monitor with my PS4. I watch tv on my samsung 4k tv, and because its a few years old now it doesn't have Apple TV+. Also missing a few more small apps. Plan to pick up a Fire Stick 4K and end this problem. Also: Watched Ginny and Georgia on Netflix cuz it was only 1 season. Plot can be a bit messy, and some things can be a bit cringe, but overall decent stuff. Final episode is fantastic though.
  17. I did finish Book 7 of Wheel of Time. Bloody fantastic. People who call it slow, or says its a slog; YOU'RE WRONG. Onto the next one! Also does anybody wanna hear detailed spoiler-filled thoughts/theories/predictions? I'll share 'em then!
  18. Yeah duh, its YA-land. Also, the show is WAYY better than the books. Don't bother with the books now, wait Season 1 and wait for the rest. I have some adult recs fantasy books recs, feel free to ask!
  19. salty? ahhh did you pony up (pun intended) the 599$ price tag Sony had set for PS3 back in 2008?
  20. I think I might've struck gold with this one Sent from my Mi A2 using Tapatalk
  21. Haha sure. I do click pictures very often so why not. Nothing special but my mom is a good cook so enjoying food even stuck at home Dinner last night - Chicken Tangri with Jeera Rice Breakfast this morning - Fried Eggs, Toast, Sausages
  22. no no, of course not. I consider myself fortunate to have even gotten a slot and get the vaccine. @Pacifier stay strong and take care bro. Hope your wife recovers soon!
