    buying a brand new android every year

    We’ve had wildly different experiences with these companies, for what it’s worth.

    I bought an iPhone X back when they were new, and had to get it replaced twice within the first 6 months because of hardware failures.

    Conversely, I kept my Pixel 3 (from 2019) until last year.













  • I enjoy having some good grinds in an MMO, but have never enjoyed dailies. The allure of a good grind should be a reward with an understandable value proposition for the time investment.

    • Grinding herbs can be sold for gold, or turned into items that help with combat. High chance to find, low value. Very grindable task you can perform solo.
    • Loot with low drop chances and a not as significant impact on gameplay can be attractive for a long grind with a payout that is permanent, but less noticable or maybe even situationally useful.
    • reputation grinds that unlock things in bulk can be nice, especially if it’s don’t well and feels like you’re earning the trust of the faction.

    Part of the joy for me is the self-direction of where to spend the “grind” time, and that’s totally lost with dailies that feel like a chore you can’t fall behind on. I want to discover better methods to optimize my character and the things that my character needs, I don’t want a chore list.
