    Price. GPU prices are ridiculous. My old card was a RX480 and was showing its age. I wanted something to get me by a little longer until I was ready to get a high end card. The a750 was on sale for sub $400 AUD which made it significantly cheaper than the 3060 at the time.

    I haven't been able to play it in account that it was broken on arc gpus. This has now been fixed so I'm looking forward to giving it a shot after work today.

    I have watched a number of videos on it, and I think the thing that will probably annoy me the most would be the number of loading screen, specifically between buildings and your ship. I'm not sure what to expect for the procedurally generated areas for places you have already visited (do these get regenerate?).

    From what I have seen it seems like Bethesda have nailed the atmosphere and sound design of the game.

    This is exactly how I feel. Not having that singular place for news and updates makes me feel a bit disconnected (for better or worse). Alternatives are not quite the same but I am very interested...

    Not just Apollo but many others as well! I almost quit cold turkey since the Reddit protests started. Yesterday not only did I delete Sync for Reddit, I also deleted my Reddit account and all my comments, posts, and votes (where possible).

    It's been a strange couple of weeks of not having that daily scroll. I have noticed my phone usage being significantly less though I have discovered and spent some time here (lurking) and on kbin/Lemmy. I will miss some of the gaming specific subs and have some fond memories of some specific events. r/DestinyTheGame having a meltdown and showing up on r/all or when a post on r/android was replied by OP and all subsequent replies where by OP as well.

    It was a good source of news for me, local and otherwise. I wonder how the next few days will go. I don't think Reddit will ever be the same.
