Why are people still romanticizing No Man’s Sky’s “redemption” arc?

My favorite game to compare NMS to is actually battlefront 2, one of if not the single worst launch in video game history, after realizing their mistakes putting in the time and effort to make the game actually run well then continuing to update the game for free even after no one is expecting more content. Yes the core mechanics of BF2 is not the best even though there isn't a single loot box or p2w mechanic left. Same with NMS the core game is still the same, it's not a brand new concept or ground breaking new mechanics to the same game they just keep working on it, fixing bugs and adding new things. I genuinely think with the state of companies like Bungie charging for Destiny expansion in 2026, a 70$ Pokemon game with 30$ dlc, and AAAA flops this is all we can ask for back your games, COMMIT to long term development and not charge for what seems like a joke of content backed by fomo

Light roast in New England

Yeah it just depends roasters tend to stretch the definition of light roast. I like to look for also single origin because it's usually more accurate in the roast level and they put more care into distinguishing each batch.

There is an FX show (cake) that has a segment called shark lords. It’s a parody where they go to track down a shark to fuck it. I assumed that’s what you were referring to. Cool name tho

Bambino vs Bambino Plus

I have a regular bambino and I would say it’s worth just for the better solenoid. The regular when you stop the shot has a one way and that means every time all the water basically drips for 10 seconds which kinda in my opinion messes up the shot a bit. Also it runs out of water quick.

Wouldn't have it any other way

Surprising it's not too expensive! There are a few small form factor GPUs of the current generation that could absolutely crush any emulated game from the Wii and back. I would say one of the best is the 1650 super for the high end. Or if you are really budgeting a 1650 would suffice. Everything else is a matter of taste a few YouTubers are creating awesome PCs out of old office PCs that are tiny in comparison. If you are building from scratch ITX, can get expensive but since it's a low power pc for your tv similar to a console the parts should not be bad especially going with last generation parts that would still blast through Wii at the highest fidelity and anything lower would run incredible based on the emulator.

James Hoffman's AeroPress recipe is not that great

My favorite aeropress recipe is his iced coffee one actually works really great. It’s pretty much the inverted method with a steep time for 5-7 minutes. If you pre chill the glass and add just a small amount of ice, the coffee is the perfect temp and concentration to pour over ice with out a deluded cup. He has some good recipes and occasionally his old classic recipes can just not be that good, didn’t really use my press until I found this one that worked great since it’s always hot where I live.
