Comment on An extended look at Armored Core VI: Fires of Rubicon in ~games
donaldjae LinkThis is looking great and most likely a day one buy from me. Have never played an Armored Core game so excited to jump in on this one.This is looking great and most likely a day one buy from me. Have never played an Armored Core game so excited to jump in on this one.

Comment on Starfield system requirements are out on Steam in ~games
donaldjae LinkRequirements don't seem completely ridiculous. The SSD and DirectX 12 has me thinking this might be a DirectStorage game, which I am certainly not opposed to.Requirements don't seem completely ridiculous.

On another note, does anyone have a good coffee maker/apparatus/what have you recommendation? I currently have a dual Keurig pod and regular brewer type of deal but really want to branch out on something new. Apologies if this isn't the place to do this for a rec.
I mainly like cold brews and regular drip coffee type of thing but could branch out to something else, just been bored recently.

I am starting to dislike companies making you buy the deluxe/premium version of the game to play x amount of days early - from a business standpoint, its an absolute no brainer but from a consumer standpoint, it sucks if you get FOMO easily.

I mainly go for mental health reasons to be honest but once I started progressing, it all started clicking for me.
As long as you're progressing and having fun, that's all that matters!

I fear I may go in super deep with a full on custom but alas I don't know how to solder so that's doing me a favor from completely going down the rabbit hole.

Like you, it is not because of the anti-consumer stuff but merely because I have 350+ games on Steam and prefer having most/all of my games in one place.

Comment on Today is my 11th Reddit Cakeday, and it is likely to be my last as an always-on user in ~talk

I didn't expect spez to double down on his slander of the Apollo dev - you would think since he had recordings and proof - surely you have to address it appropriately but obviously it went the other direction. I think subreddits going 'into the dark' for 2 days is going to do nothing, it needs to be for way longer. In the end - I am in the wait and see camp, I just don't think its the complete end of Reddit but we will start to see other sites (like Tildes) gain popularity.
I did the same. I just happened to be perusing my Spotify account settings page and saw it and immediately switched to the 'Basic Family' plan. I thought it wasn't mentioned in my email regarding the price increase but it was actually - still a bit sneaky IMO.
