I read some threads and a little confused. Last time I stacked 36months GPCore to GPUltimate for 3 years

This 3 years is ending tomorrow. I want to keep going, mostly play on PC only since I have a 5080 but the PC price is just 200/- lower than GPUltimate.

I was thinking of buying 3 years GPCore Keys from eneba and upgrade to PC for 3 years and if possible GPU

Some threads say stacking is now limited to 13months now? so I cant buy 3yr GPCore and upgrade to 3year GPU?

Little confused. Let me know the best way for the longest subscription period!

Thanks!

I just finished watching Deep Water and I'm even more confused now. when I first saw the trailer I thought people were exaggerating when they compared it to No Way Up (2024) but after actually watching the movie, they're not.

>!It feels like the exact same movie:!<

• >!Passenger plane crashes into the ocean!<
• >!Survivors trapped in and around the wreckage!<
• >!Constant struggle to stay alive underwater!<
• >!Sharks as the primary threat!<
• >!Similar pacing and tension beats!<
• >!Similar character archetypes!<

What surprised me most is that Deep Water doesn't seem to improve on anything. The acting isn't noticeably better, the visual effects aren't significantly better, the writing isn't better, and the survival scenarios don't feel more creative.

I always remember Armageddon and Deep Impact but they were completely different movies with similar premise but have a different take on that and released almost side by side

Am I missing something? Did anyone watch both movies and come away thinking Deep Water did something substantially different or better?

Because after watching it, I genuinely don't understand why this movie needed to exist when No Way Up already covered the exact same ground so recently.

Looking for advice on which credit cards to prune from my portfolio.

Card	Limit	LTF
Sapphiro (Amex + Mastercard) + Coral Rupay	₹20L	Yes
Amazon Pay	₹20L	Yes
HSBC Live+	₹10L	No
SBI Cashback	₹4L	No
OneCard (South Indian Bank)	₹5L	Yes
BOB Eterna Rupay	₹10L	Yes
Kotak League RuPay	₹7L	Yes
Swiggy HDFC	₹1.5L	No
IndianOil Axis bank Premium	₹90K	Yes
Scapia	₹4L	Yes

Notes:

• Sapphiro Amex, Sapphiro Mastercard, and Coral RuPay appear as a single ICICI account on my CIBIL report.
• Amazon Pay appears as a separate ICICI account on my CIBIL report.

Current thinking is to close:

1. Swiggy HDFC
2. Kotak League RuPay
3. OneCard

Reasoning:

• Swiggy HDFC I only use it on Swiggy, and I have Pluxee card 4400/month now so this Im rarely using, rest of the time I only order when there are card offers like Amex offer Axis offer etc.
• Kotak League RuPay feels redundant since I already have Coral RuPay for UPI spends. Not sure about the rewards here
• OneCard doesn't seem to offer anything unique anymore. It used to be great, but most of its advantages have disappeared. For fuel, I already have IndianOil Premium.

My primary spends are:

• Online shopping (SBI Cashback + Amazon Pay) ~20K/m
• Utilities (SBI Cashback via Amazon Pay Gift Cards) ~15k/m
• Groceries and food orders (Pluxee ₹4,400/month + HSBC Live+) ~10k/m
• Fuel 4k/m (IndianOil Premium)
• Occasional travel (Sapphiro often has useful flight/MMT offers)
• Online subscriptions to different developer tools etc all shifted to Scapia from One card. Many are in Forex, one or two in INR

Would you close the same three cards, or would you prune a different set?

Also, are there any cards in this lineup that are unexpectedly valuable and worth keeping even if they're not seeing much spend?

My brother is 35yrs old and stays in KPHB, this is for him.

Hes been living in KPHB since 2015, nice flat in a gated community, since covid hes been fully working from home. He earns I think in hand around 3.3LPM. He recently got a promotion in his office, and they might be setting up a regional office in Hyderabad soon and MAY have to go to office regularly and wants to stay in an area around Financial district where the new office most likely will be.

We visited a lot properties like Lansum Elena which quoted 3CR+ and I think Sumadhura which quoted ~6CR (4000sft)🤣. But on an average a nice luxury apartment near the centre seems to cost minimum 3CR+. We also checked out other properties in the area which were lower like 2CR etc but he didn't like them, in the sense that they were not any better than the apartment he is lviing in, some one quted 2.5 Cr for an apartment smaller than his current one and looks cheap and old. (dont remember the name). We personally visited all these places etc.

How is the traffic there, he and I both hate traffic, when we travel from KPBH to Mindspace it takes 1hr in the morning easily ~9am. Which is we both WFH luckily. However once he has to start going to office, he wants to be in the happening place to avoid traffic concerns (his highest concern is only traffic, next is apartment quality maybe).

I visit my friends sometimes at their offices in Sattva and some other office in Financial district and the traffic is horrible to say the least.

Every time we visited to check the apartments it was a saturday or a sunday whenever he and I didn't have work so couple of questions.

1. How is the weekday peak traffic there like around My home avatar and Rajapushpa Provincia? hes looking here too
2. I heard rumours that it takes almost 30-45 mins just to get out of the society and onto the main road from these apartment, how true is that
3. Is 3Cr really worth it? he seems to be like, "I can afford it but i dont think this is worth that much" and drops every apartment we visit.

In the end what im asking is people in these areas, where do you live, where is your office, how long does it take from home to office on working days? just want to analyse and understand.

I also want to know any pros and cons you guys can give me!
