I can live without twitter

After all the nonsense that has gone down over the past months with our current presidential administration, I've come to release that my twitter feed had largely turned into a place for people to vent their frustration without taking any real action.

So I just went ahead and removed it from my devices.  Life is that much more peaceful now, and I can control when I consume news, and hopefully receive it from reputable sources that aren't sensationalizing.

And I stopped checking FaceBook months ago.  Social media really isn't that much of a thing for me.  I've found that if I'm interested in something, there's normally a place for it on Reddit.  Here's some of the subs that I like:

If you've got lots of angst over what's happening in your social media feed, then by all means, stop checking.  It'll make a world of difference!

The best route for this was via the rewards from the Torvan hunters, and I needed about 10k rep to get honored, so that meant it was time to do some Hunt Rifts .   Someone was LFM in 60 chat for some Great Hunt IVs, so I j

2.8 on Wednesday

Rift Patch 2.8 is coming this Wednesday (the 6th of August).  I'm excited to see it drop, since it's the first major content update for me since I've been max level. RiftGrate has an awesome summary of what's in the patch. I'm probably most looking forward to the prelude quests, since the story content is typically fun, engaging and can be completed over the course of a few play sessions.   The part that I find most interesting in the scope of features and the strategy of a dev team are clearly the Auction House updates .  The fact that Trion is cool with sharing price history for items is a bit mind blowing to me, since most companies seem to either not be interested in exposing this data, or push it off onto third party addons.  I may taken it upon myself to create an index, lumping together some of the most commonly traded components and tracking their prices on a regular basis.  I would be curious to see how closely pricing on the AH reflects the ove
