An Aeropress, Moka Pot or a Vietnamese Phin Filter are other cheap alternatives to try. But if you're overextracting in a French Press you might be doing something wrong with the brew time and/or the temperature.
It'd also help to know how darkly roasted it is and what type of beans they are.
The biggest requirement, imo, is probably just having an SSD for the game. There's a LOT of pop ins and textures that just don't load until a few minutes later. It does have a "slow HDD mode" but it hasn't really done much from what I can see.
I've gotten away with even harder to run games on a HDD but even if it is on an SSD, I've found it to be inconsistent plus only BG3 acts up compared to everything else I have going.
It's not just Roblox allowing casino sites and running unregulated markets. They allow for porn on their platform and also allowing child predators and child exploitation on their platforms. I'm not sure why parents even allow their kids to go on the platform since Roblox doesn't care about it.

Hey guys, I’m looking into buying a refurbished Google Pixel 5 (I have couple of options between amazon and other stores), however I’m not entirely sure about the longevity of a refurbished phone....
How finicky is installing custom roms on refurbished Samsung phones or android phones in general usually?
I usually avoid refurbished phones even though the flagships offer better performance and value compared to buying the midrange and budget phones but the lack of software updates are something I'm concerned about. That said, if there was a more clear recommended OS to install I'd be willing to give it a try.
Whether you started with a 2600 and a joystick in your hand, an N64 with a blistered palm or building your first PC in your teens, what is that one video game you've played at some point that to this day sits at the top of your list.
Trials of Mana. Actually the whole Mana series were completely unique and very innovative when they first released. But the combination of story telling, party building, and combat system still hasn't been topped for me. The games are something I always have ready to emulate at all times. Fingers crossed they decide to remake the rest of the Mana series. Legend of Mana needs some love even though I remember most people weren't really keen on building their own world.
The Tales series was probably the closest before the switched from 2D to 3D. The switch, I thought, took away a lot of what made them stand out from other jrpgs in the market.
My close 2nd is Legend of Dragoon since it actually changed the combat system in a really meaningful way. Legend of Legaia also did something similar but I thought the storytelling was better in Legend of Dragoon.
Soul Sacrifice still needs some love. It's only downfall was releasing on such a niche system like the Vita. It actually moves the MH formula forward in a really interesting manner by forcing you to make really interesting choices in the story.
Soul Sacrifice had a system where you had to pick between 3 types of stats to build around which affects which spells you could use. After each mission you would have to pick between saving someone or sacrificing them which affects your stats.
If you chose power, you end up becoming a glass cannon with spells that drain your own hp
if you chose def, you end up with spells that supported you and the higher your hp the more damage you did. The trade off is your damage is mostly low.
if you chose neutral then you were pretty balanced.
All of these were affected also by the factions you were part of and which spells you have access to.
It's a great game but there IS a catch that wasn't mentioned.
The devs plan on implementing one of the more intrusive Anti-Cheats (Face It Anti Cheat) which doesn't work on Linux which also stops all Steam Deck users from playing. It also forces you to disable virtualization on windows. I can't recall the last time I had to go into bios to disable an option to turn off important windows features.
According to their stream, it's non-negotiable and will be added regardless of what the community wants. But they did mention that community servers would be able to pick which Anti Cheat they wanted to use?
They haven't backed down at all. They're still committed to implementing FaceIt according to the devs in their discord. The only reason it's not implemented now is because of privacy concerns so they're trying to rework it a bit.
It depends what you're upgrading from. There's rarely a good reason to immediately buy new hardware for PCs imo, especially if you're on a budget. If you're going from a 2080 then you're still good for the next few years. For me, I recently upgraded from the 970 to the 6800 when it had it's price drop to $450 last month. Although, I'd say that s far it's been worth it, AMD is still behind Nvidia so the experience isn't as nice. Intel is also making massive improvements and works fine for the most part with newer games.
My friend updated to the 6800XT and told me the same thing but the moment I told him to boot up Deep Rock Galactic he immediately started to notice a lot of stuttering. Gunfire Reborn also had a lot of stuttering along with a few more games I play like Metro Exodus and No Man's Sky. V-Sync somehow fixes all the stuttering issues.
I've had other problems like Windows 11 overriding my GPU drivers which makes Adrenaline unusable until I reinstall the drivers. It's very annoying having to do this every time there's an update since I'd have to either reinstall Adrenaline or make sure I have the proper drivers hidden away somewhere so I can reinstall them.
We had a lot of stutters in the main hub and throughout the missions with a lot of nasty screen tearing in DRG unfortunately. Not sure what's going on there since we both have pretty decent rigs. I'm hitting over 244fps on it consistently except for when the strange stuttering happens with vsync off.
I dunno wot else to say lol I have a 5800x3D with the 6800.
I think you mightve misread some stuff because they mention directly that even if you disable that feature through group policy it won't work.
"However, now it seems the company is taking this a bit further and is forcing driver updates for Nvidia and AMD graphics cards, even if you have this feature disabled via Group Policy Editor. "
"A Twitter account named @ghost_motely posted screenshots showing a Windows 11 machine's Group Policy Editor with driver updates disabled and a fresh Nvidia driver installed recently, seemingly ignoring this setting. "
I do know how to fix these problems myself. It's just a bad experience since Adrenaline refuses to even boot unless you reinstall the drivers yourself manually.
