Redonkulation
Rift crystals are earned by playing just like the first game. Their only purpose is to hire higher level pawns, but you earn them when people pay for your pawn or you complete their quests. It’s part of the interplay of players exchange pawns.
Recent Capcom games have all done this where it’s a great game and right on release they stuff a bunch of micro transactions in for in-game currency but you would have to be an absolute chud to buy any of it because it’s so trivial to earn.
DMCV did the same thing with trying to sell red orbs, the primary upgrade currency, but if you didn’t see people complain about it online, you wouldn’t even notice it in game.
They are ticking a checkbox for the suits.
Oolimo, the website and phone app is a great resource for me. It lets you enter notes on a fretboard to identify chords.
Anything not tech/Linux related. It’s 90% of my feed.
Top song is Comin Around by Andrew Duhon.
Top artist is The Tedeschi Trucks band, no surprise there. Best God damn band on tour right now. Listened to them so much this year as I got tickets to one of their shows this past July.
It was a good year of listening for me.
Edit: after scrolling through the comments, pretty cool seeing very few repeated bands.
Make them better coffee and then don’t comment on it until they ask.
Most people seem to connect bitter and strong and it’s a hard habit to break out of. People are used to crappy coffee.
Just getting them to a stage where they buy quality beans and grind them fresh is a big leap, but once they reach that baseline you can introduce roast levels.
When Firefox announced that a ton of their add-ons/extensions were coming to the mobile app, it got me to switch from chrome after almost 15 years.
