What single purchase has returned the most in terms of value?

Jump

  • Was going to comment about a knife as well but you beat me to it. Though I went with Wusthof. The difference a good knife makes a huge difference for cooking.

    The same applies to cookware. Don't overpay buying a whole set is a waste. Buy the couple pots and pans you need individually and save.

    • MMO mouse recommendations?

    Jump

  • Take a look at the Logitech G600. It has 12 side buttons and a shift mode that lets you map 12 more actions to those buttons. It has onboard memory rather than needing a companion app. Linux compatibility is great as it can be programmed with Piper. Only downside is it's a bit large if you have smaller hands.

    • Button navigation is objectively better than gesture navigation.

    Jump

  • I would disagree if gestures being faster. Mostly because animations can't be disabled with gestures.

    If I hit the home button I am instantly on my home screen rather than waiting on the zoom and shrink animation. Same issue with recent apps.

  • I like to add a splash of cocktail bitters to soda stream water. A bit of fresh fruit and herbs is nice too.

    • Permanently Deleted

    Jump

  • I picked up that same Ryobi starter kit when I bought my house. I know they aren't the top of the line, but it's served me well for light duty household projects.

    • Name a single feature you’d like to see in a Switch 2

    Jump

  • I always thought having some sort of eGPU in the dock would be nice. Enough to let it run games at higher resolution and frame rates on a large screen.

    No idea how feasible that would actually be though.

    • Starfield locked to 30fps on console, Bethesda confirms

    Jump

  • What's really weird to me is the hard 30fps cap. Why not have at least an option to disable the cap and let VRR do it's job?

    • What are your thoughts about the FFXVI demo?

    Jump

  • Finished the demo and I agree with most of the praise for the game so far. I'll be picking it up for sure. Combat was a lot of fun and a big improvement over 7R. The music was top tier, but FF games always seem to be great in that regard.

    I'll just probably wait for a few patches to roll out first.

    The demo felt like it had some serious performance issues. Graphics mode worked well but I don't know if I'd like playing such a fast paced game at 30 fps. An option to turn down the excessive motion blur would be appreciated too. The performance mode was just a mess. I feel like this game would be a prime candidate for a 40fps/120hz mode.

    • Whats a game that everybody seems to love that you cant stand for one reason or another?

    Jump

  • I downloaded it from PS plus. Had fun doing the multiplayer with my wife for about an hour then got bored quickly. Would have been pretty disappointed if I had actually paid for it.

    Jump

  • Maybe not quite the spirit of the question but: Endwalker killed FFXIV for me.

    Played the game a ton from ARR to Shadowbringers, but can't bring myself to even log in any more. The house I've had for seven years will be demolished later this week and I don't even care.

    I know people loved the story but I hated it. Job design, job balance and encounter design are in terrible states. Patches are taking longer. The new content they added for this expansion has been bland and uninteresting.
