  I have a “not Lexar” 8TB NVMe that I’ve had for almost 3 years with no trouble. Should I be worried? Or is Lexar just bad?

  Incidentally, looks like the price has barely come down on these since I bought.

  Is there a “positivity bias” counterpart to “negativity bias”?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Half as Hot⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Reminds me of a time one of my friends was happy that it was going to warm up and said something like “it’s going to be twice as warm tomorrow”. It was going from maybe 20F to 40F or something.

  That led to an interesting discussion.

  I never actually played 4E. My friends ran a brief campaign and said it was no good, so I never got a chance to try it.

  Still I’d take a look at Pathfinder given what they did with 3E.

  Not familiar with Pathfinder 2E. Is it still modeled after DnD 3.x?

  games end up being tailored around micro transactions.

  One of the things that is tailored would likely be that the game is locked down to prevent modding. While this may not be as much of a concern for multiplayer games (unless the game allows private servers and such), it is more of a concern for singleplayer.

  Paying money for a game item that is single-use? That’s a pass for me.
