    The biggest “bloat” issue for me was going from pixel to Samsung. I was able to configure apps and launchers the way I liked just fine, but the Samsung specific version of all the main apps (internet browser, calculator, etc.) was unexpected. There are plenty of Google bloat apps that I have to disable on a new pixel, though.


  • You could likely get better average performance by rethinking your budget. Instead of $3000 and stretching it to 5-10 years, you could spend $1500 now, $500 for a gpu and/or cpu upgrade in a few years, then a complete rebuild a few years after that.

    The idea is that by getting less than the latest and greatest, you’ll spend less and be more willing to upgrade when the component starts showing its age. You’ll also spend less time with components out of warranty.

    One last note, I don’t see storage on your list. I recommend a 2 TB SSD at minimum, 4 TB if the prices make sense.






  • I’ve also been playing palworld and have never played or been interested in any Pokémon games. For me, the “catching pals” aspect detracts from the survival crafting aspects. Base automation is also in a weird place where stuff is mostly automated, but you can’t really automate everything like you can in a game like Factorio.

    Despite all this I’ve put about ten hours into the game and loved every minute of it. I’m just a little off the mark of the game’s target audience, which makes the early access lack of polish a little harder to put up with. I would still absolutely recommend the game, though.
