100% worth it. I’ve had a few issues early on but I’m rocking oldish hardware (6700k, 2080 ti). It’s been rock solid for the last 6 months though. A lot of games that ran semi poorly in Windows run great now (Control and Arkham Knight def come to mind) and some cpu heavy bullet hell style games slow to a crawl now much earlier on (I can get sub 20 fps real quick in Rogue Genesia).

Please, please, please abandon these platforms. Just stop using them. There’s a cycle to these things and once they are past the due date all that’s left is rotten. It really is as simple as stop using their platform.

Your gonna love my block nuts

Salton Sea has a special place in my heart

The controversy: It’s a terrible movie wrapped up in an intentionally controversial blanket so there’s an easy excuse when it flops.

It’s not the only thing they have in common.

They are also gonna be the cause of it.

This really is the takeaway. Reddit is crap? Stop visiting, talking, posting about it. Starbucks is a terrible company? Stop spending money there. Until that happens none of this is going away.

I loved all the improvements to the gem system. Low lvl crafting felt good and the improvements, while quite small, we’re noticeable. It’s just a really bad pace for me. I never felt the dps ramp up at all. It never felt like i was killing anything faster or more efficiently and the “combos” while cool still involved just more clicking. I never felt like the game play improved. Just mechanics and graphics and polish.

I’m not a Souls person and i hated the extra hard mode they added to PoE1 so maybe the game just isn’t for me.

In typical poe fashion they are unrewarding and slow. They added dodge roll to a game and now I’m supposed to use it non stop. White mobs need to be ground down. And i get it, they wanted to slow shit down. They def did.

Help, I’ve dist-upgraded and i can’t [symbol ‘grub_calloc’ not found]

What if it’s always on and only available to the user if you turn it on? What if it’s always generating info for Google and there’s nothing you can do but stop using Google products?

I’m running a 2080 ti and while it’s def aging and showing it now, it’s been great so far.

They had me at the penetrator.

Honestly no idea. I use Home Assistant and just keep an eye on the stats. It’s in an unheated garage that sees humidity of 40-60% and temps from 50F to 80f and it’s just chugged along.

I’m running an APC Smart UPS 1500 (APC-SUA1500R2) and I have never had any issues with pis. I’ve only used the 2/3 gens and a pizero.

RefurbUPS, new batteries every 3 years (i have handed over all my old ones to a local club and most of them are still going strong). I have a rack so i bought a rack unit. No rack might be cheaper even. Don’t cheap out though.

Depending on the model there’s also a dev menu that disables some phoning home/connectivity shit
