WTF you think happened in 2020? No one could leave their house, so video game went gang busters.
I worked at a video game retailer then, and it was the busiest we’ve ever been.

Welcome to the existentialist crew! It’s a great and humbling place to be.
Great game made by some devs who used to work at Halfbrick (Fruit Ninja/Jetpack Joyride fame). Highly recommend playing with an actual DJ turntable for the full fantasy. Also had a recently released VR mode.

They were definitely worth the effort before if you were specifically going for the Mysterious Chests. Now those have been boosted in cost, it may be less worthwhile.
That being said, uniques can now drop from Helltide chests, and drop rates for non-Mysterious chests have been increased so it might be a zero-sum change.
Another vote for Synology here. I previously had a DS418play for almost 8 years. Just picked up a DS423+ recently to upgrade and the process was literally as simple as removing the drives from the old NAS, chucking them in the new NAS, and booting up. All my Docker containers, all my credentials, all my licenses were all just there and working, despite being in a new shell.
Also want to call out the importance of 4-bay vs. 2-bay. With 2-bay you get 1-drive fault tolerance in RAID mode, which is nice. With 4-bay, you can still opt for 1-drive fault tolerance and with SHR you can have 4 drives active (of varying sizes) giving you much more available space and making the upgrade path of storage significantly easier.
Also, beware that DSP does not support cloud saves because the devs can’t compress their save data enough to fit in the Steam cloud requirements.
I’ve been using this for around 8 months now on PC and Deck.
The only things I don’t like about them are:
Would still definitely recommend though because you’re basically getting an Xbox Elite controller for the price of a standard Xbox controller.
I think that one of the most disappointing things about D4 is that it actively punishes you for wanting to try new things via high respec costs and gearing/aspect requirements. This is especially true at end game because there is no “Refund All” for paragon boards. Hence why (accurate) build guides are so important.
Another thing that makes theorycrafting difficult yourself is that due to all skills being %age based, it’s much harder to plan out the math behind a build.
Finally, while it’s relatively easy to try out different builds while you’re leveling, the landscape of what is viable when you hit WT3/WT4 completely changes as Glyphs start generating more of your DPS/survivability than the skills in your previous build, which dramatically changes what your build may look like. This change at end-game is great for variety (leveling builds are different to end-game builds), but due to the aforementioned way that D4 punishes you for wanting to try new things, it makes it pretty difficult in WT4+ to play anything but the “meta” builds.
All that being said, the Dev update tomorrow mentioned that they’ll be going over Season 1 details as well as a bunch of QoL changes that are upcoming. So my fingers are crossed for at least a “Refund all” for paragon boards, if not multiple “Spec”/Armory slots.
Here’s my decent haul. Some of them aren’t really in the “Sale” as they just launched but have launch discounts.
It’s the Nomad Ultra 13" OLED. I grabbed it for a simple secondary display to pair with my Ultrawide and also as a portable monitor for my Steam Deck.
With the removal of the Tidal API from Plexamp, I will be sorely missing my discovery recommendations. Will need to give this a shot using Last.fm scribbling (already supported in Plex).
