Rational and rationale are two different words. This page gives some good examples for both: https://writingexplained.org/rational-vs-rationale-difference

I’ll take small menu ordering every time. If we’re all getting the same thing and the choice is quantity, it’ll likely be fresh.

You can get a 1 TB for $80-100, or 2 TB for about $150-180. I would go with 1 TB minimum so you don’t have to micromanage the storage space.

My last ssd was 512 GB and even that would only let me keep a few games installed at a time. Much happier with 2 TB now.

Keep in mind that nursing is a four year bachelor’s degree. There are other options, but the four year degree is most common in the US. That means many nurses chose their profession when they were just out of high school. Nursing being a stable, well paid, and highly in demand career is something that everyone hears about. Blaming nurses for taking that to heart and pursuing it as a career is questionable at best.

I like two monitors for work (center and side) and one for personal.

It’s from the office.

I have the Fractal Design Define (https://www.fractal-design.com/products/cases/define/) and it has been great. I got it with the solid side panel instead of glass. It’s also very quiet. I had the full size, but switched to the compact version so I could use an under desk mount.

Right, but if the AM4 setup is half the price, you can avoid paying the early adopter prices for AM5.

AM4 vs AM5 is really a budgetary question at this point. I had an AM4 build in 2020. A few months ago I upgraded it to a 5800X3D cpu and 6700XT gpu and it’s been great. I considered a full rebuild with AM5, but couldn’t justify the extra expense. My build was able to play elden ring at 1440p with max settings smoothly.

The latest and greatest generally isn’t worth it. Those groundbreaking new features won’t be consistently implemented in games for years to come. If money is no object, go for AM5. Otherwise AM4 should serve you well for quite a while.

Let’s add lens flare and lens dirt/grime to that list, too.

Last Epoch is in a pretty great place currently if you like the ARPG genre. It’s still in beta/early access, but it should have its full 1.0 launch within the next year. For me, it’s the perfect middle ground of complexity between D3/4 and PoE.
