I got a Japanese sobakawa pillow that a ton of people recommended and it's incredible. I didn't know a hard pillow could be so comfortable.

Instant pot. Mine has a sous-vide mode and I make the best steaks I've ever made. Whole shebang was only like 40 bucks and I can cook most things in it.

Pop sockets.

I saw so many people use them and hated the sight of them. They look weird and make your phone fit awkwardly in your pocket and you can just lean your phone against something heavy if you want to watch a video or whatever.

But I decided to try it and it is single-handedly the thing that allows me to use my Android phone pretty much one-handed. With gesture controls and the ability to shrink the keyboard to one side for one-hand typing, I'm able to use my 6" phone with one hand 90% of the time.

Dark Souls.

I didn't even check it out until DS3 was about to launch.

Now those kinds of games are basically all I play anymore.

[–] DrSteveBrule@mander.xyz 6 points 1 week ago

Same here. I think it's hilarious to when I see posts along the lines of "I don't have time to play souls like" or "I want to enjoy games when I play. " I can boot up a souls like and play for 15 minutes or hours. They're so relaxing to me.

As a long time regular player of jrpgs, I was pretty skeptical of all the people I know that don't play them talking up expedition 33, but yeah it is really that good.

Final Fantasy XIV story.

Ugh it’s an MMO. I’m going to guess anyone who’s slogged through that much content will praise the story.

I don’t necessarily think everyone would find it worth it getting through the less enjoyable content, especially if you’re not taking breaks, but getting up to the two star expansions, Shadowbringers and Endwalker, yes, those expansion endings have been some of my favorite memories in the entire RPG space. The music alone forms such perfectly defined leitmotifs for its best moments. I still wouldn’t blame anyone for walling it off in their mind given the time and financial commitment, but after years of hype, it did match it.

What’s a little sad is I’ve tried the demos for XV and XVI and just still feel thoroughly uninspired by them.

Purple bed. Best purchase in my entire life.

[–] voracitude@lemmy.world 8 points 1 week ago (4 children)

A good mattress is indeed one of the best purchases you can make! Online stores with a lot of marketing (Purple, Casper, etc) tend to be more expensive to make up for all the marketing though, and I've heard stories of off-gassing despite basically everyone claiming "our mattresses don't do that!". Did yours smell at all when you first got it?

Not trying to shade your choice at all, I'm just mentioning because I read a lot of threads like this when I was looking for a new mattress. I've gotten my last three mattresses from https://comfortoption.com/ and they're more comfortable than anything else I've tried (including my old Serta memory foam block), and a few hundred bucks cheaper than the YouTube/influencer-marketed brands. My sister likes the one she got on my rec too.
