Sounds like you covered most bases.  If you haven't been before, I'd recommend paying the Bodyworlds Museum a visit.  I'd passed it by a couple of times as I was put off by the content, but I'm glad I took the plunge.  I found it fascinating.

If you're looking to fill in some time at night, there's Boom Chicago.  This is an Improv' comedy club.  They also do comedy classes if you fancy a go :)

The Ice  Bar.  Their blurb is "Everything inside is made entirely out of ice,
even the glass your beer or shot is served in!"

If you're feeling a bit more adventurous and want to chill out at the same time, there's the Sauna Deco.
It's a mixed/textile free establishment, so don't be surprised if you see peoples bits hanging down and swinging around as they move between spa and sauna areas.  Feel free to let your own hang out if you wish :)

It's mainly street food and cafe fare I shovel down my neck while in Amsterdam.
The Damstraat (just off Dam Square) is good for pizza (Doria), shawarma, Argentinian steakhouses, and Renes (for pastries, cakes, churros).

BTW, no thanks for stealing my potato bus in that SpaceStation game!  :-\

Ah, sorry 'bout that.  I thought I'd hide it for a bit until someone notices then jump back up again but I didn't hear a word, so I hung around listening to the music.
I've been listening to it in my head since :)

Clutch - Electric Worry.
The original of course was by Mississippi Fred McDowell.  I love me some Delta blues.

How are you able to take all these holidays?  I thought you're American :)
I am American, but I work for a tech company that has a pretty relaxed vacation policy. I make good use of that.

Thanks for the recommendations! We've been to Amsterdam before, so we've done a bunch of the usual tourist stuff, although I'd be happy to spend a week just in the Rijksmuseum. This trip we're going to visit the tulip farms, Delft, and who knows what else.

Do you have any recommendations for restaurants? We'll eat pretty much any type of food, from kebabs (mmmm, tough to get good ones in our part of the US) to Michelin-class tasting menus.

@ Grim
the topic with the ut2004.ini is one I have to deal with more closely
because of UT2004 I will soon exchange my 10 year old Samsung 24" for a Dell UltraSharp U4025QW, 39.7" screen and I am curious how UT will be displayed in connection with 120 Hz, the aspect ratio and a customised ut2004.ini.

I have a few devices I move between, but my main screen is an 35" LG ultrawide running at 100Hz (also curved).
I use foxWSFix v2.2.0 which supports widescreen, more on that here:  https://miasma.rocks/index.php?topic=1964.0

You can quickly change resolution by typing setres 5120x2160 (or your preferred res')

Thanks for the link / information !
I will take a closer look at the topic when I have the new screen

Hello ronftl , welcome to the best ut 2004 server ever. This is Zacky (CR), veteran player of miasma and the MIA clan (now disappeared) I also returned to UT after my retirement around 2013 and after 11 years I really missed it brother, it was one of the first games in my life and I could never forget it Entering and playing more often makes you better every day, the more you are a good player, see you in the games, greetings...! 8) 8) ^-^

Hi Zacky :)

This game has a certain addictive factor, but this is also due to the variety of weapon types that can be used :)

I always find it very interesting how the ‘regular players’ and the occasional players in the group behave, when mixed up in a new session.
Who knows the strengths and weaknesses of the other players and who uses them to their advantage (of the team) :D
I, for example, already have learned pretty well from whom I have to hide and who is "sometimes" easy to catch in close combat with predictive shots ggg

greetings Ronftl ( real name Thomas )

I will post a few experiences, maybe someone can gain something positive from my HW / SW setup

Is that new monitor 4k? I play fullscreen on 4k Samsung with 1080p resolution 240Hz refresh it look nice!

I don't want to buy a pure gaming screen, because I also need the screen for my home office and that's why I'm going to get the https://www.dell.com/de-at/shop/geschwungener-dell-ultrasharp-40-thunderbolt-hub-monitor-u4025qw/apd/210-bmdv/monitore-und-monitorzubeh%C3%B6r

from that point of view, the 120Hz & 5K should not only bring an improvement in gaming and hopefully also relax my eyes :D

Haha, know Ron, a lot of these recordings are on maps when I need a break or don't like to play so it's a momentum and does necessarily show the best of you...

each of us still has to improve, despite of our advanced age :D
