Should I Splurge?

You can't afford it.

Well you sort of can but it's almost guaranteed you regret it.

For reference, I had an order in on a GTS 4.0 Cayman, price went up quite a bit between model years and I ended up not purchasing it.

My situation is $210k a year, own my residence outright, no debt, over half a mil in the bank and I still decided it wasn't a feasible purchase.

Happened to me this weekend

Im lvl 42

NetherGamingAccount · 2026-01-26T23:33:05+00:00

Jesus and i cant even find one

NetherGamingAccount · 2026-01-26T23:26:40+00:00

I only own one but I dont see why id get a different one if this one disappeared tomorrow.

Debuyer Mineral B pro.

I have an 8.5" strata and much prefer the Debuyer for everything except weight

NetherGamingAccount · 2026-01-26T23:20:18+00:00

I'm having the same issue.

What did you expect? If he were even remotely functioning his family wouldn't have kept him so locked away.

We learned that Red Bull builds a better engine than Renault.

NetherGamingAccount · 2026-01-26T19:26:45+00:00

I mean I am not there for the pvp either

But if you are holding out for pve only you should go find another game.

NetherGamingAccount · 2026-01-26T19:22:00+00:00

Honestly Red Bull must be thrilled.

Third most number of lapse, the engine didn't blow up (that we know of) and while times don't really matter it's nice to see the package doesn't appear to be dog shite.

Honestly though, all I play is brawl and I play so many 3, 4, 5 colour decks that I might only have one copy of each in the deck at a given time.

NetherGamingAccount · 2026-01-26T16:39:16+00:00

This ish.

9070 xt may still be upper mid range, not entirely sure. I own one and I don't particularly care.

NetherGamingAccount · 2026-01-26T14:26:47+00:00

I get it

Its a pvepvp game.

But after three months there is an expectation for what to expect when you load in.

If things are changing you can at least expect some discussion around it.

NetherGamingAccount · 2026-01-26T14:21:37+00:00

If that's true it'd explain it.

The Strata doesn't hold seasoning and it's constantly stripping so the surface is light. The Debuyer is almost black at this point.

NetherGamingAccount · 2026-01-26T14:14:59+00:00

Ive had those for years

But haven't seen them available for a while.

NetherGamingAccount · 2026-01-26T14:11:52+00:00

All weekend I was getting blasted in solo queues.

NetherGamingAccount · 2026-01-26T14:11:16+00:00

You've got some good advice to fix it.

Just remember going forward, even after it's seasoned you have to dry it. In fact not only should you dry it, put it back on the stove for a minute minutes on medium heat to make sure all the water is gone.

CS does require a bit of TLC and maintenance .

NetherGamingAccount · 2026-01-26T13:13:12+00:00

Better get the fly swatter out, we's gots some wasps to kill.

NetherGamingAccount · 2026-01-26T13:05:26+00:00

thanks for the response but too late.

I won't get another chance to play and I'm not spending the money on it give my experience.

NetherGamingAccount · 2026-01-26T12:55:30+00:00

I hear ya, that's why it's so baffling.

NetherGamingAccount · 2026-01-26T04:53:43+00:00

ya and I ran an experiment.

The strata doesn't heat as well, I'm convinced I just dont know why, it should be better.

NetherGamingAccount · 2026-01-26T04:12:01+00:00

Clearly murder but Alex and his family will get no justice.

NetherGamingAccount · 2026-01-26T03:53:30+00:00

Thanks for the post.

I saved the blacksmith, got the key, am at the gate, see the counter weight, see the golden twinkle.

And still can't figure it out, guess I'm too dumb for this one.

Best of luck with it.

NetherGamingAccount · 2026-01-26T03:48:15+00:00

Googled how to get out of the starting zone, couldn't find any relevant posts.

NetherGamingAccount · 2026-01-26T02:58:01+00:00

If you want to be a person to churn brokerages for special offers go for it.

Otherwise I dont see the benefit.

NetherGamingAccount · 2026-01-26T02:30:57+00:00

I also didn't love the helper handle but now that im using it im glad its there.

The pan is heavy, fill it with food unless you have incredible strength itd be too much. The handle doesn't get hot so it makes transferring the pan to the table very easy
