Was curious what combat 2.0 meant.

Sticky Combo Points: The gist of it here is that Combo Points now remain after battle, giving combo moves a lot more use overall

This feels like a good change. I always felt like combos didn’t get much use outside of boss fights due to them resetting every battle. I’m not sure this entirely fixes the other problem wherein I almost exclusively used Mending Light, however.

Agreed. There was a fantastic time for mobile games before things went downhill.

I have a strong memory of being in an apple store, finding a display iPad, and becoming enraptured by Plants vs Zombies. I would eventually get my own and put dozens and dozens of hours into the game.

Then EA took it over and turned it into trash.

This is such a bizarre conclusion to come to.

I feel like I could have some fun with a remake of Descent 1 and 2.

Aaah thank you, I had the same problem.

I remember looking at the rows of PC game boxes at the store and being very curious about Myst. But for some reason I never asked my parents for it. I guess maybe since I didn’t really have any idea what it was, it just felt like something out of reach.

I love “artsy puzzle games” now, so I feel like that would have been a pretty cool experience for me way back then!

+1 for sea of thieves.

Yes, this! I rarely ask for permission on that sort of thing. I’ll just do it as part of my work and see if anyone calls me out on it.

Fair point, appreciate the clarification!

This is true. I know I’ve gone through a few gasket replacements myself. I can tell it’s starting to fail when the pressure starts to feel weirdly weak and too easy to press down on.

I love my aeropress, but this seems highly unnecessary to me. I think it’s great that I’ve had the old one for over a decade, I can chuck it in the sink or a drawer and it’s practically indestructible.

I can’t say I’ve ever once noticed my cup being cold after pressing so claims about heat loss feel suspect.

I suppose if you just want the same experience but to feel fancier while doing so and you have cash to spend on it, then go right ahead.

Heck I still chuckle when I am reminded of the aeropress XL. If folks aren’t aware the aeropress company was mostly bought out a few years back which may explain the recent burst in new fangled products.

I’ve been reading this like a madman for the last week. It’s nuts and I now cannot wait for the anime to drop.
