Alrighty~ So I'm looking into a new PC asap before the current one (~7 years old) I'm on decides on die on me. I'm stuck between wanting to buy a prebuilt or building one myself. I've been looking into a computer that will last for awhile until I would need to make upgrades on it and that can handling gaming on it (along with my work for my job).
My current PC:

ASUS-brand. 2017. Windows 10. Intel(R) Core(TM) i5-7400 CPU @ 3.00GHz (4 CPUs), ~3.0GHzNVIDIA GeForce GTX 1060 3GB. 8GB DDR4 1TB HDD. I also have added 2TB of portable SSDs.

I found a prebuild that I really liked on Newegg over the weekend with the specs of:

Operating System: Windows 11 Home
CPU: Intel Core i7 13700F 2.1GHz (5.2GHz Turbo Boost Max) 8 P-Core, 8 E-Core, 24-Thread
GPU: Gigabyte RTX 4070 Eagle OC
Motherboard: MSI B760 Motherboard
RAM: Kingston Fury RGB 16GB DDR5 5600MHz (2x8GB)
SSD: Kingston 1TB M.2 NVMe SSD
CPU Cooler: RGB Air Cooler
PSU: 700W 80 Plus Gold

It's $1699.99USD and I'm that person who always has to see if I can get something the same (or better) for a cheaper price. So I made two builds on PCPartPicker— one is a build with the RTX 4070 and the other is with the 4060-TI. I based them off of the prebuilt I really like since I'm not too knowledgeable in computers. I noticed when looking into these two GPUs that there's a lot of "hate" on them; is there a reason to why? Besides any reason that has to do with pricing. I would love to hear any other suggestions to regarding GPUs.
Some additional information also when it comes to when I game:

I always use borderless window mode. I tend to play on high or ultra, if possible. My main monitor I play on is 1600x900 60Hz monitor. Secondary monitor is vertical at 900x1600 60Hz. I don't get into newly dropped titles too often due to the habit of my current PC not being able to run it well. Last new game I bought was Elden Ring and haven't been able to finish it due to my current PC. And Overwatch 2 was running on less than 10FPS on the lowest setting when I tried to play it. I've been limited to League of Legends and extremely modded Sims 4 (but even that is putting strain on my computer).

RTX 4070 Build: https://pcpartpicker.com/usecatf00d/saved/YmnjGX RTX 4060TI Build: https://pcpartpicker.com/usecatf00d/saved/4q6yFT
Sorry for the huge wall of text and all the information I provided, I'd rather give out more information that is needed than not enough information. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you so much!

We currently have a 3/8" drive ratcheting wrench with flexible head. It works pretty well, but the problem is that my father has a bunch of 1/2" drive sockets... which means that we need to get the 1/2" to 3/8" adapter all the time.
For $40, I bought a 1/2" drive wrench to complement the other wrench, but it doesn't have the flexible head. The flex head version of 1/2" drive is $55, when sold individually.
Now, I see that there is a set of 3 of these wrenches for $100 with 1/4", 3/8", and 1/2" drive, all with flex heads. Individually, if you buy each of these wrenches, it's $40, $40, $55 for a total of $135.
My options are:

1. Return the non-flex head 1/2" drive and pay $55 for a flex head 1/2" drive
   
2. Return the non-flex head 1/2" drive and buy the 3 piece set for $100
   
3. Don't return the non-flex head 1/2" drive and be satisfied with it
   

Opinions on what I should do?

Defending the Draft: 2023 Washington Commanders 8-8-1
Preface:
Hope.
This 2023 season will be the most interesting for the Commanders franchise in a long long time. We enter this season with more uncertainty than I have ever been a part of, however, the one thing the fan base is certain of... is the future is brighter. Dan Snyder purchased the franchise in 1999 and subsequently done nothing but run a blue blood franchise into the ground. This team has lacked direction for a long time and a large part of that was due to Dan Snyder's meddling in the day-to-day football operations of the team. Starting his ownership with signing washed up HOF veterans, to then overspending in free agency (Albert Haynesworth is arguably the worst free agent signing of all time), drug scandal with thetraining staff, the mishandling of the RG3 and Kirk Cousins situation, Not resigning Trent Williams, and lastly we've now reached tumultuous time where his off the field issues have hung a dark cloud over a once proud franchise. Although, lol, his most egregious mistake may be hiring Jim Zorn as head coach. It's egregious that his only punishment is a 6 billion dollar payout for his franchise. I hope the banks bury him and he faces the deserved legal actions. As of now there had been an agreement to sell the franchise to 76'rs and NJ Devils owner, Josh Harris.... and is 20ish members of his parliament. We await to hear news of the reviews from the NFL financial committee to close out the process. Last news I came across was he has cut down the number of minority owners to 20. It will be a pleasure when this agreement is finalized. He could be a terrible owner, but it would still be an upgrade from Synder. Harris, seemingly has been a hands off owner and properly allows the people he's hired to operate the team. This last sports season he's had both of his teams deep in the playoff hunt. This season will be interesting. A lot of questions all around: Sam Howell? Chase Young? Ron Rivera? Eric Bienemy? Josh Harris? I'm not sure of those answers, but I'm very excited to find them out.
Coaching:
HC- Ron Rivera OC- Eric Bieniemy DC- Jack Del Rio
Key Additions: Eric Bieniemy
Ole' Riverboat Ron Rivera is back and going into his 4th season with the Washington Commanders, hopefully his last. I believe Ron Rivera is a leader of men, but I highly question his actual coaching skills and team building. I've currently seen enough of this coaching regime and front office to safely say let's move on. There's been several things that I believed were firable offenses.... the Carson Wentz trade. Some rumors have said that this was a Snyder push. Not entirely positive, but Ron bragged that it was his call. Our team at that point was not a qb away from being really good, let alone a Carson Wentz level of qb. The next fireable offense was starting Wentz over Hienke when the playoffs were on the line. Wentz ended up being benched for Hienke, but it was too little too late. The next fireable offense was not realizing we were eliminated from the playoffs. Going into the last week of the season Ron planned on starting Hieneke. Pretty odd to not know you're out of the playoffs, let alone to test Sam Howell out for next season. Additionally, there's been some pretty questionable roster creation decisions. I absolutely hate the versatile secondary and offensive line philosophy. We currently have a patch work offensive line that has the means to fluctuate between average to below average. Not a single player on the line is top 5 at their respected position. Two years ago we had a top 10 o-line, but that had Brandon Sherff playing like a top 5 guard and Charles Leno having his best season. Our o-line took a significant step back this past season and now looks to be our biggest weakness. Ron has shown to trust his own board and has reached (according to the consensus big board) with every single pick so far. People mistake 2019 as one of his drafts ( Sweat, McLaurin, Holcomb), but he was hired at the end of the season. Take this with a grain of salt as it takes at least 3 years to properly review a draft. Rons 1st round picks have been the following: 2020 pick 2 Chase Young- the correct pick at the time, but hard to botch the 2nd overall pick, 2021 pick 19 Jamin Davis- hated the pick at the time, too early for a linebacker... let a lone a project. On tape he looked lost a lot and made up for it with his elite athleticism. He's shown progress, but nothing showing he's worthy of the pick. 2022 pick 16 Jahan Dotson- looks to be an absolute baller, had him ranked above Olave in the pre-draft process. Was a slight reach above the consensus board, but flashed high end ability. Davis has been the only mistake in the 1st round thus far. When I say mistake I don't necessarily mean player, but the roster building philosophy. Whether reaching on Phidarian Mathis in the 2nd round of 2022. Lol, he was older than Payne coming out of the draft, one year of good production, and was taken a round too early. In the next round Brian Robinson was taken and was really just a body. Haven't really seen anything elite with him so far and was a meh pick. John Bates in the 4th round was egregious. Now I have to give credit where it's due. Kam Curl was an absolute steal and can solidify himself as top 5 safety this season if he continues to play this well. Our other starting safety in Darrick Forest also had a lot of bright spots playing this past season.
Arguably, our best offseason move was signing Eric Bieniemy. I'm absolutely excited. Forget everything about him not calling the plays. Reports from OTA's shows his hands on approach and full control of the offense. One of my favorites things I've heard is he is using OTA's to see what the players can do and crafting the offense to their abilities. Time and time again (Scott Turner) you see coaches say this is the offense and not change anything to match the players strengths. We don't know for sure how the offense will look, but if it's anything close to the motion west coast offense the Chiefs have... boy lessssss gooooooo. Jack Del Rio has been up-and-down in his time in Washington. He's had two very slow starts with the defense to start year, however, they've finished strong and kept his job safe. This is really the no excuse year and everyone needs to show up amd show out.
Free Agency:
Key Departures:
Taylor Hieneke- signed with the Falcons
Cole Holcolm- signed with the Steelers
Bobby McCain- signed with the Giants
Carson Wentz- TBD
J.D. McKissic- TBD
Trai Turner TBD
Andrew Norwell- will be released when he passes a physical
Summary:
In my personal oppinion, the only player that hurt losing in free agency was Cole Holcolm. Linebacker is our one weak spot on defense, however, not resigning Holcolm shows Ron's belief in Jaymin Davis's progression. Cole was limited to 7 games last season and has yet to truly break out. Always played very solid and losing him downgraded the position. We've moved on from both starting guards from last year in Norwell and Turner (previously on the Panthers). Both players were liabilities last season and the guard position was easily upgradeable. Bonny McCain was a solid do it all for is player. Lined up at corner, safety, and nickel throughout the season. Hieneke was a big fan favorite, but was never the answer. We thank you for your service though. Carson Wentz, fuck you. Loved J.D. and his time here, suffered a major injury. Not sure if he gets picked up hy another team.
Key Additions:
Andrew Wiley- 3 years for 24 million, 12 guaranteed. Previously on the Chiefs
Nick Gates- 3 years for 16.5 million, 8 million guaranteed. Previously on the Giants
Jacoby Brissett- 1 year for 8 million, 7.5 million guaranteed. Previously on the Browns
Cody Barton- 1 year for 3.5 million, 3.5 million guaranteed. Previously on the Seahawks
Summary:
Simple. In free agency the Commanders did not overspend and tackled positions of need. None of the players signed are top 5 at their position, however, they could all possibly end up being upgrades to what we have. The most interesting is Andrew Wiley. He allowed 9 sacks (tied for 3rd most)... but man he put on the performance of his life in the superbowl. Another stat that favors him is pass block win-rate, which measure if a lineman can sustain a block for 2.5 seconds. Wylie ranked 9th in that stat last season. I translate that stat to mean can a lineman sustain a block against thr initial rush and counter move off the snap. After that 2.5 seconds the ball is thrown or the play breaks down. Another key factor to this signing is it kicks Samuel Cosmi inside to guard. Cosmi has shown flashes being a high end lineman and I expect him to be even better kicking to guard from right tackle. Guard was our weakest position on the line and Wylie signing helped to upgrade the RG position. Nick Gates is expected to he our starting center. He's coming off of a brutal leg injury that made him consider retirement. Has played guard and center and has some positional flexibility. Jacoby Brissett is the best backup qb in thr league. A solid signing if Howell doesn't pan out. Just a solid game manager that doesn't commit many turnovers. Cody Barton is another unproven guy. Last year was his first year with significant reps. Bobby Wagner leaving in FA and Jordyn Brooks injury made em the guy. He showed flashes of coverage abilities and had a lot of tackles. The tackles weren't necessarily a product of his abilities and more so of cleaning up on a bad run defense team. I've read some notes that he has trouble getting off of blocks. Honestly, haven't watched much on the guy, but reports were he played solid down the stretch.
The Draft:
Link to all RAS scores for our draft class
https://commanderswire.usatoday.com/lists/2023-nfl-draft-ras-scores-for-the-washington-commanders-7-player-class-emmanuel-forbes/
Round 1:16 Emmanuel Forbes 6'1" 174 lbs. Mississippi St
Stats: 58 targets, 31 catches allowed for 284 yards (23 yards a game), 3 tds allowed/ 6 ints, 9 forced incompletions, 2 dropped ints, 46 tackles.
PFF Grade: 87.2
If being a 160 pounds is your only knock then I think you're doing something alright. The word on the street is he is already up to 174 pounds. You wouldnt realize hes only 174 pounds by the way he plays the run. Hes not scared to hit and flies ro the ball. Although, he does struggle to get off of blocks. Emmanuel Forbes, per PFF, had the highest rating in man coverage last season, albeit the snap count was very miniscule. Emmanuel Forbes is a lanky corner than played a lot of zone coverage and is a very good scheme fit for what we do. I like the pick and I'm not upset about taking him over Gonzalez, who also had his own question marks. Forbes set a NCAA record with 6 pick sixes. A lot of those were the right place at the right time, but when you have that high of a number than you're doing something right.
PFF:
Forbes is one of the best ballhawks in this class. Over the course of his three-year career, he came down with 13 interceptions. That’s four more than the next closest Power Five cornerback since 2020. Forbes was unbelievably dominant in man coverage in 2022, giving up only three catches while also snagging three interceptions. He also only allowed a 20% completion rate in man, the lowest among FBS
PROS
Remarkably lanky frame. Limbs for days — ideal for a corner.Has bounce like a hooper. He can challenge any catch point necessary. Elite ability to locate the football. All six of his interceptions came in man coverage.
CONS
Still a stick. Not much mass on his frame. Has eyes that get him in trouble. Some freelance tendencies on tape.Can get bowled over in the run game. Mediocre tackler over the course of his career.
Round 2: 47 Jartavius "Quan" Martin 5'11". 194 lbs Illinois
Stats: 74 targets, 42 catches allowed, 611 yards allowed, 3 tds allowed, 3 ints, 15 forced incompletions, 2 dropped ints, 4 missed tackles, 64 tackles.
PFF Grade: 73.2
Quan is a beast. I thought he was the 2nd best nickel prospect in the draft and a better deep safety than Brian Branch. Martin absolute rockets around the field in the run game. He started his career at cornerback before transitioning into the safety/nickel position. Another elite athlete that is a perfect fit for our Buffalo Nickel defense.
PFF:
Martin came to Illinois and immediately started as a true freshman in 2018. He originally started off as an outside corner before becoming more of a slot corner recently. He had arguably his best year in 2022, as his 15 forced incompletions were tied for the sixth-most among Power-Five corners. Martin’s 91.0 run-defense grade also led all Power Five cornerbacks. While he played corner at Illinois, we project him more as a safety for the next level.
PROS:
Explosive flat-foot breaks. Tremendous burst. Forceful and reliable tackler - 7 misses on the last 129 attempts last two seasons.Fills like a mac truck in the run game. Wants to come downhill and play in the backfield.
CONS:
Pure man skills are work in progress. Overagressive and liability to bite on fakes. cons On the lighter side for an around the line of scrimmage player. Gets caught with his eyes in the backfield on run
Round 3: 97 Ricky Stromberg 6'3" 306 lbs Arkansas
Stats: 9 impact blocks, 11 qb hurries, 0 qb hits, 0 sacks allowed
PFF Grade: 82.4
Nasty. Another guard experience player that spent his last two years at the center position. Award winner of the Jacob's Blocking Trophy for the SEC'S most outstanding blocker award. This is a solid player that has started since he was freshman in the SEC. He's been battle tested since he was kid and has improved every year. He has some knocks about his play strength, but a NFL program should get em to where he needs to be.
PFF:
Stromberg was a three-star recruit in the 2019 class and started for the Razorbacks as a true freshman, mostly at right guard. He moved inside to center for his sophomore season and spent his final three college seasons there. Stromberg’s 82.4 overall grade and 83.7 run-blocking grade in 2022 both ranked fourth among all centers in college football, and his nine big-time blocks were tied for fifth among FBS centers. Not to mention, Stromberg had an incredible performance at the NFL combine.
PROS:
Does not want to let blocks go. Can see him straining his butt of to stay engaged on tape. Tons of experience against top competition. Four-year starter with 3,121 career snaps.
CONS:
Forward lean gets going on the move, making him liable to topple over. Has wide hands to initiate contact in pass protection before resetting. Leaves himself open for stronger rushers.Unimpressive musculature, which leaves questions about how he'll anchor against NFL strength.
Round 4: Braeden Daniels 6'4" 296 lbs Utah STATS:
0 sacks allowed, 1 qb hit allowed, 14 hurries allowed.
PFF GRADE: 72.2 at tackle, 2021 84.4 at guard.
Braeden Daniels is another tackle/guard hybrid, with starting experience across his college career. This guy is on the lighter side but that allows him to be an Explosive athlete. Very raw at the tackle position and will be a developmental guy. I'd like to give em a try as our swing tackle and see how he performs. He was one of the quickest offensive lineman I've seen off the tape and that athleticism will let him climb to the next level. Even on the lightweight side I'd hate to see this guy running at me on the second level.
PFF:
Daniels is an experienced veteran who commanded the Utes’ offensive line for the past few years. He originally started as a guard before switching over to tackle. His best season came in 2021, as he put up an 84.4 PFF grade. Given his time on the interior, Daniels is at his best when run blocking, and his run-blocking grade in 2021 was an elite 89.1. He still held his own as a pass protector, allowing only five sacks in his Utah career.
PROS
Explodes out of his stance. Arguably the quickest get off in the offensive line class. Linebackers don't want to see him climbing. Gets on them before they can even react. Drive in his lower half to still move the line of scrimmage despite being under 300 pounds.
CONS
Wild into contact. He approaches blocks with the adjustment ability of a freight train. consDoesn't bring his hands with him. Clean engagements are rare on tape. Very light by NFL standards (294 pounds at combine).
Round 5: 137 KJ Henry 6'4" 260 lbs Clemson
STATS:
51 tackles, 3.5 sacks, 1 FF, 6 pass deflections, 50 qb pressures, 31 qb hurries, 14 qb hits.
PFF GRADE: 83.1
Loved this pick. Henry was a 5 star recruit coming out of high-school and decided to attend Clemson University. With Clemson having deep lines it took him a couple of years to get on the field. The stats look odd when you only see 3.5 sacks, however, the 50 qb pressures is the key stat. Seems more like bad luck that the sack numbers weren't high. Clemson's whole d-line underperformed (Bresee, Murphey) and they should have picked up more sacks from Henry who was the best DE on that team last year. The team clearly liked him as we traded back up for him. He's not elite athlete, but he is an elite hands guy. Almost had that veteran presence in college. High motor and will immediately make an impact as a rotational de, a position that sorely needed an upgrade.
PFF:
On a team with Myles Murphy, you can easily make the case that KJ Henry was Clemson's best defensive end this year, as he posted better PFF grades than Murphy in every category and even generated 19 more pressures. The only problem is That Henry is 24 years old while Murphy is only 21. Therefore, Henry was expected to produce this well against younger competition. Nonetheless, this doesn’t mean that he can’t still improve. If Henry's play this season is any indication of his potential, he can still have a great NFL career as an edge defender.
PROS:
Heavy hands that are so well refined. Uses them independently to use combination moves.Utilizes hesitations and head fakes so well to catch linemen off-balance. Coaches rave about the type of teammate he is. He is the type of player you want in the locker room.
CONS:
First step that's unimposing for a rusher on the smaller side. Late bloomer. Wasn't even a starter until this past fall. One of the oldest prospects in the class. Already 24 years old.
Round 6: 193 Chris Rodriguez 6'0" 217 lbs Kentucky
STATS: 8 games played, 175 attempts, 904 rushing yards, 6 tds, 5.2 ypa, 5 catches, 41 rec yards.
PFF GRADE: 90.8
Chris Rodriguez is a PFF darling and was rated as the 7th best running back. This guy's is a pure one cut, run you over, power back. There's not much finesse to his game, but there's highlights of dragging guys 10-yards down the field. He does not posses break away speed, but he will get you 40 yards. He was suspended 4 games due to a dui and he may have been drafted higher on am abysmal Kentucky team. An extra 4 games of stats against SEC competition and no suspension may have jumped him into the 4th round. This was an Eric Bienemy guy and they brought him in because of that. Isiah Pacheco was another EB guy.
PFF:
Rodriguez is a powerful runner, but he lacks the burst and creativity to become anything more than a downhill grinder. He has the size and mentality to do the dirty work between the tackles, but it could be a challenge for him to get to and through the hole quickly in the NFL. He’s a physical blitz protector, so teams might envision a role for him as a second-half battering ram and third-down quarterback protector.
PROS:
Two-time team captain. Thick frame with ability to pick up tough yards. Makes tacklers feel his size at impact. Stays square getting through downhill cuts. Low success rate guaranteed for arm-tacklers. Stays on his feet through heavy angle strikes. Allows lead blockers to do their work. Steps up with force against incoming rushers.
CONS:
Below-average burst getting through line of scrimmage. Lacks finesse to navigate tight run lanes. Change of direction is heavy. One-speed running style is easy to track for linebackers. Pad level is a little tall as run-finisher. Inconsistent finding assignment versus blitz.
Round 7: 233 Andre Jones 6'4" 248 lbs Louisiana
STATS: 7 sacks, 5 qb hits, 20 hurries.
PFF GRADE: 77.2
Andre Jones was another hybrid de/lb player coming out last year. He possess 34 1/4" arms which is an elite number for his size. May move to LB, but I'm not sure that's the right move with a 4.71 40-yard dash. He doesn't have much a pass rush move set playing a hybrid role, but does use length to his advantage. A solid developmental pick.
PROS:
Shows a natural feel for setting up blockers and getting them off-balance. His hands are active and violent, and Jones quickly disengages with blockers and counters when his initial move stalls. Possesses accurate snap anticipation and timing to beat blockers off the edge. Offers some versatility, rushing from a two-and three-point stance with the playing speed to stand up in space.Flashes strength as a bull rusher and his energy doesn't plateau. Showed initial quickness and good flexibility to dip and bend. Jones has active hands and suddenness to his movements, demonstrating the ability to counter inside. Has fluid footwork to redirect, reverse momentum and close with a burst. Regularly first off the ball with good snap anticipation. He’s a high-effort pass rusher with an impressive combination of length and speed.
CONS:
Jones has to develop a counter move or two in the pass rush, and Jones needs to make better use of his hands. He lacks the speed of a chase and- tackle guy. He lacks twitch as a pass rusher and lacks the feet and flexibility to threaten around the edge. Jones also shows some stiffness when trying to bend the edge, often getting pushed past the pocket — he seems more comfortable countering back inside.
Draft Summary:
This was my favorite Ron Rivera/Martin Mayhew draft thus far. Going into the draft, offensive line, cornerback, and quarterback were our three biggest needs. Drafting in the middle of the round really took us out of the olineman race. The last one that interested me was Broderick Jones and he went off the board when the Steelers traded up. At that point in the draft it really left us with going cornerback. The Forbes pick was received negatively due to Christian Gonzalez being available. Both players will be viewed under the microscope throughout their careers. I'm fine with Forbes pick though. Another lanky cornerback who was an elite athlete. I did have Gonzalez rated higher going into the draft, but he slid for a reason. A lot of his tape shows him not necessarily being an elite cornerback, but being an elite athlete that plays corner. Forbes actually showed the athleticism, corner skills, and ballhawking ability. Some additional knocks against Gonazalez and his love of the game. Quan Martin was our biggest surprise pick of the draft. A lot of people had him going in the 3rd round, but I think the 2nd was a fine spot. Mayhew after the draft said he wish we were more aggressive at times, which I translated as not getting Brian Branch that went several picks before us. I think Quan was the backup option, but I like him as much as Branch. I think Quan will be a better deep safety and Bramch will be a better nickel. Liked Quan alot, but felt we should have gone o-line at this pick. Ocyrus Torrence would've been a sweet pick here. I think if that happened, the consensus view on our draft would shoot up. Quan will immediately via for playing time as our base defense is essentially a 4-2-5. Kendall Fuller was our only above average corner and now we turned our secondary into a strength. Ricky Stromberg and Braeden Daniels were our next two picks. I like Stromberg’s tape a lot and think by next he will be a solid starter at guard or center. Braeden Daniels will be a nice depth piece and if he's able to tame his play he could develop into a starter. Fun player to watch. KJ Henry was an awesome pick and can see him being a nice rotational piece. Good pick at an underrated area of need on our defense. RB wasn't a pressing need, but it's an underrated area of weakness. I think Brian Robinson is about as average of rb as you will see starting in the NFL. I wouldn't be surprised if Rodriguez slowly cut into Robinson's role over the next two years. Antonio Gibson has had some solid season, but has a severe fumbling problem. Andre Jones will be a depth piece that will need development moving forward.
Offseason summary:
The biggest question of our offseason was our owner, which now appears resolved. Our second biggest question... was who was our starting qb? Sam Howell. Ron preached all offseason that he was going with Howell and I'll be damned, he did. Brissett was good qb to bring in, not someone that would necessarily turn the offseason into a battle, but can be a starter if called upon. Really a true backup qb. I'm all in on the Sam Howell train. I love it for a multitude of reasons. One, he balls out and we have our qb of the future, two he plays well enough we give him another season and maybe Ron is out and we get a high draft pick, three he bombs and we fire Ron Rivera and go for Caleb Williams next season. If anything, it gives us a direction for our future. I'm ready for Ron to go and think he's only as good as his coordinators. I'm concerned that EB AND Howell turn the offense around Ron gets resigned and EB takes a head coaching role... then the offense regressed. Additionally, I don't want Ron to get credit for drafting Howell. It was 5th round pick, you and every team passed on him for 4 rounds. If Howell is that good... it's not because Ron was a genius and drafted him. Very similar to Seattle taking Russel. I am excited about EB being here and think he's the real deal. I will give Ron credit for allowing him to run his own offense as he sees fit. OTA's have shown that EB is pushing his guys hard and is trying to see what he can do with the offense. We really do have elite playmaker and I'm most excited to see what he can do with Antonio Gibson. I can see his role being that of Jerrick McKinnon, with more athleticism. Sam Howell has shown a lot of progress since his rookie season. Had issues with his foot work, but has shown vast improvements. We only have 1 preseason game and 1 NFL game of tape on him. I liked what he showed. When watching tape you could see him going through his progression, man absolutely saved the day wish his escapability- was under pressure the whole game, threw two beautiful deep passes, and won the game. He did throw one bad pick, but was under pressure and playing hero ball. He had one week of practice with the starters, now he has a whole offseason. Our defense should be a top 5 unit next season and we only got better. Chase Young should be fully healthy and he's the X-factor for the number one overall defense. He comes out plays to his full potential then he could be a mid teens sack guy. If we have that sort of production and Sam Howell plays well than we can compete for the decision. Big if though. Our secondary really lacked a 2nd option, Benjamin St Juyce has shown some flashes but didn't seeze the role last year. Now on paper he's the number and that's very solid. We return two top 6 defensive tackles and Montez Swear is one of the most underrated players in the league. He's yet to have a high sack season, but is very much that Jadaveon Ckowney type of player in the run game. Big question mark season for Jaymin Davis. We knew he needed development, but it's been slower than previously thought. Down the stretch he showed flashes that he was coming into his own and now is his year. He's one of the best athletes at linebacker in the league and his ceiling is very very high. Overall I predict we will go 10-7 and challenge for a wild card spot. That record can fluctuate each one, but I'm calling the improvement now. We went 8-8-1 with bottom 3 qb play. The defense got better, we hired a better offensive coordinator, Howell will at the minimum be slightly better than Hienke last season, we didn't lose any major pieces and had a solid all around draft. I'm truly excited to watch how our future plays out.

Complaining about Paul only goes so far. This run treats MJ as a character with no agency and fridges a woman of color for no reason.
It’s like Zeb Wells set out to make the worst comic possible. We’ve got:
1) An incoherent plot
2) Bad art (I love JRJR but he’s past his prime)
3) Poor characterization of literally every character from Peter to MJ to Flash to Anna Maria Marconi
4) Sexist undertones
And after all that it’s not even entertaining to hate-read like Chuck Austen’s X-Men was. It’s not enough to be bad and offensive, the run feels dull and lifeless as well.
Like what’s the point of this run, what does Peter learn and gain from anything that happens? It’s all just sound and fury signifying nothing and Zeb Wells should be embarrassed to have written it.

TL;DR: Yes, you lose some BB bonuses but we gain so much more in the way of player agency via health chunk removal and trait removal. You can utilize your complete challenges faster and overall improve you experience in Hunt (i.e. play the way you want to play).
And, if you feel like you're missing out and still want cosmetic items, you can supplement all of the BB bonuses lost by paying $25 PER YEAR. Overall, I think this is a great decision for the game and people are seriously underestimating how much this will actually improve their enjoyment of the game.
---
Now, for the long version with some simple math:
First of all, I get it. Nobody likes when bonuses get taken away. But I think a lot of people are very quick to jump to conclusions on this and people are overlooking the significance of what will now be added to the game in exchange for removal of these bonuses.
I'm a numbers guy, so let's look at some math (forgive me as I'm at work so I may not be 100% accurate on some of these figures). Quick disclaimer that I am assuming 15 hours per week would be the average for Hunt players, but I do believe this is a very conservative (higher) estimate than actual playtime and many people don't even come close to this level of BB earnings under the current system.
THE CURRENT SYSTEM:
BB Generation:

• End of Match Bonus: 1-3 BBs (as I understand), so an average of 2 per game.
  • Games Played/Week: Assume 15 hours per week
  • 30 mins per match = 30 matches per week = 60 BBs per week from the end of match bonus
  • More detail below, but assuming you can consistently hit these 30 matches per week for 90% of the entire year, you're looking at 2,820 BBs/year from this bonus.
• Bounty Extraction Reward (5-Day Reward): Let's assume in those 15 hours you are able to log in 5 days in a row and get the bounty extraction bonus every week you play. Let's also assume you play 90% of the weeks in a year.
  • 52 Weeks x 90% = 46.8 (47 weeks)
  • 47 weeks x 25 BBs/week = 1,175 BBs/year
• Challenges: Assume this is reached in each of the 47 weeks out of the year that you play.
  • 47 weeks x 25 BBs/week = 1,175 BBs/year

​
BB Expenditures:

• Hunter Slot, Loadout Slot, and of course BB Skins (this remains unchanged)
• Remove last health chunk: 20 BBs. Based on the above, this equates the following:
  • 10 full matches OR
  • 80% of your bonus for extracting with a bounty FIVE DAYS in a row OR
  • 80% of your bonus for completing challenges (AKA killing hunters with an ammo box)
  • This is to remove a health chunk on one hunter btw.
  • Honest question, under this system, who is gonna do so much work for so little reward? I would speculate that Crytek realizes this as well. Only they have the stats but let's be honest, how many of you have actually used this button ever?
• Remove Trait: ~15-20 BBs(?) - In any case, essentially the same cost/benefit as above.
• Reshuffle Hunters (beyond your first free one): 25 BBs(?) - Same as above, except it's 100% of your bonus. For one reshuffle.

​
Are you starting to see my point? Compared to the effort it takes to earn these BBs, it's way too expensive to justify paying for these things unless you are already buying BBs, and even then I'd speculate people don't want to pay real money so they can optimize a hunter who might just get headshot at the spawn.
On Crytek's end, it's a Catch-22: Those prices have to stay high because you are able to generate so many BBs from just playing the game.
​
NOW, on to the NEW SYSTEM (AKA "What do I get out of this?"):

• Hunter Slot, Loadout Slot, and of course BB Skins (this remains unchanged)
• Challenges - 50 BBs per week. Assuming the same 90% (47 weeks) played from above, this equates to 2,350 BBs/year (obviously, the same bonus as now without the requirement to log in and extract 5 days in a row).
• Remove Last Health Chunk - FREE (maybe people would actually use this button now)
• Remove Trait - FREE (less 1 trait point). People seriously underestimate how much this will change the game in their favor. For the most part, players will have more agency over how they want to play and this will certainly make completing challenges easier.
• Reshuffle Hunters - Hunt Dollars - This is a secondary bonus, but it would be nice to give yourself a few more options in exchange for some hunt dollars every once in a while.

​
So how do I supplement the 2,820 BBs I earn from playing 30 matches per week, 47 weeks out of the year?
$25 = 3,150 BBs. Pay this once per YEAR and you're actually ahead in BBs. Let's assume this is the "cost" of playing hunt. Well, to use the example above:

• If you play 5 days per week, 47 weeks out of the year (235 days), then it would cost you $0.11 per DAY that you play Hunt.

Doesn't seem like too bad of a deal to me.
And let's not forget. Under the new system, you are no longer obligated to buy BBs outside of cosmetics and other menu conveniences, but you still get the benefit of free health chunk removal, free trait removal (again, this is huge), and cheap reshuffles.
While I do understand that some people will always look at this as something that has been taken away from them, I think it's pretty silly to also not realize how much we are getting in exchange for this. I think this was a great move by Crytek and this benefit will be immediately realized as soon as 1.13 hits.
Future tweaks needed? Maybe so, but as of right now I'm personally pretty stoked.
Let me know your thoughts and I'll be happy to discuss.

PSA - if you have an annual plan, especially the 360 day ebay plan, check your renewal date. I got a text message saying it was ending today 5/31/23, and to refill. I don't remember my exact end date, it could have been anywhere from 6/28-6/30, because red pocket "gave" me 2 days to makeup for the 8 days of no service during the verizon 3g shutdown.
After chatting with the CSR, they kept repeating their system shows I added the plan 5/1/22. That doesn't even make sense if it was a 360 day plan since it should have expired in April, but after confronting them with an email screenshot of them confirming I added it 7/2/22, they extended my expiration date to 6/26. No apologies. No recovery of those 2 extra makeup days even after asking. I had already made up my mind to leave them, but this is just more reason to. Don't let them steal your money!

Wife and I are flying BOS-LHR-DEL and will return early next year. Original flight details:
BOS-LHR: Delta Boeing 767-400 Main Cabin (V) LHR-DEL: Virgin Atlantic Boeing 787-9 Economy Classic (V) DEL-LHR: Virgin Atlantic Boeing 787-9 Economy Classic (X) LHR-BOS: Delta Boeing 767-400 Main Cabin (X)
Flights booked through Capital One Travel, but we are able to select seats, request meals, change flights etc through Delta directly. For our return DEL-LHR-BOS route, we have the following options for upgrade/change:

1. Premium/Premium Select
   1. DEL-LHR-BOS (2 hour layover in LHR): $307/person
      1. Premium on Virgin Atlantic (DEL-LHR) in Boeing 787-9
      2. Premium Select on Delta (LHR-BOS) in Boeing 767-400
   2. DEL-LHR-BOS (with 9 hour layover in LHR): $307/person
      1. Premium (G) on Virgin Atlantic (DEL-LHR) in Boeing 787-9
      2. Premium (G) on Virgin Atlantic (LHR-DEL) in Airbus Airbus A330-900neo
   3. DEL-CDG-BOS (with 3.5 hour layover in CDG): $282/person (1 extra cabin bag/person)
      1. Premium Economy () on Air France (DEL-CDG) in Airbus A350-900 (listed as Flagship A350)
      2. Premium Select () on Delta (CDG-BOS) in Airbus Å330-300
2. UppeBusiness
   1. DEL-LHR-BOS (with 9 hour layover in LHR): $1111/person
      1. Upper (Z) on Virgin Atlantic (DEL-LHR) in Boeing 787-9
      2. Upper (Z) on Virgin Atlantic (LHR-DEL) in Airbus Airbus A330-900neo
   2. DEL-CDG-BOS (with 6.5 hour layover in CDG): $1087/person
      1. Business (Z) on Air France (DEL-CDG) in Airbus A350-900
      2. Business (Z) on Air France (CDG-BOS) in Airbus A350-900

We have few questions regarding these possible upgrades:

1. Since the flights are 8+ months ahead, should we wait for a better offer or grab one of these? Are the prices a good deal for Premium class? For Business/Upper class?
2. Will getting the Amex Delta Reserve card help our travel experience? Maybe with a free upgrade (to Comfort+) and sky club access? Do we only get Centurion lounge access if we pay the full ticket with the reserve card? If one of us has the card, will both of us be eligible for upgrade? I've read that chances of upgrading without any Medallion status is minimal, and considering this is international, maybe we won't even be on the list for upgrade? If we get Delta Reserve and buy one of the Premium upgrades, will we get centurion lounge access and still be eligible for a free upgrade to Delta One?
3. I can't see a way to use miles to pay for these. If I contact DL, will the agent be able to use miles instead of cash? How will the miles be calculated? Based on 1cpp?
4. We haven't flown premium (Always economy with 1 AF Business class [option 2.2 above thanks to miles]). Is Premium on AF/DL/VS worth the upgrade?
5. We have flown AF Business class once, and it was a good experience all the way from checking-in at DEL to landing at BOS. But, we haven't flown VS upper. Looking at images/videos and blogs, there doesn't seem to be much privacy in the Upper cabin. How does the experience in VS Upper compare to that of business in AF or Delta One?
6. Reading through the blogs it seems that VS might have the best combination of soft and hard premium products. While the AF premium will be $25/person cheaper, I have read mixed reviews about their seats. Has anyone flown premium on these aircrafts (and possibly these routes)? How was your experience? Are the fixed shell seats in AF (or in any airline for that matter) premium really that bad? Is it worth upgrading to fixed shell seats if most people find economy seats to be more comfortable? We will get Skypriority with premium (faster check-in, security and boarding), but, we were hoping to get some extra baggage and lounge! Option 1.3 on AF/DL premium seems appealing, but the reviews about AF premium seats are discouraging. Also, it would be an extra $564 cash out of pocket.
7. The AF aircraft listed on Delta and AF websites for the same itinerary are different! Should I trust the information on Delta or go with what is there on AF?

Any insights/thoughts/suggestions on any of these questions would be very helpful. Got in churning a few months ago and have gained a lot of knowledge and learned a few tricks from the community.

My (32f) sister (27f) & I live on the opposite side of the world. Despite that, we’ve always been close. I would never miss her important events, eg: graduations spending thousands on plane tickets & presents to be there with her. I’ve financed all her wants & needs since young age. We talk about everything (so I thought). 2yrs ago, she told me she met a guy & it would be her 1st boyfriend (education was #1 priority 4 us both). I was very excited & wanted to know everything. She would drip feed me some info but not too much. Which I accepted & didn’t want to push until she was ready. FF 6-8 months, I ask her what the plan 4 the future is (a general Q ), She tells me she’s getting married in 4m! I’m shocked. I didn’t even know they were engaged, the family has not met him & I certainly have never even spoken to him. She tells me I need to be her MH! I have a very demanding job & I also have a 2yr old & both my H I can not just take leave on a whim. She knows all this very well. I beg her to tell our parents(who would be so excited & never judgmental), she does 2 months before the wedding. She used the excuse of this being a cultural thing & I’ve just forgotten (it’s not). I tell her, I I may not make it due to work & the short notice. She gets mad & plays victim, saying how I’m just trying to ruin her life. Refuses to introduce her soon to be husband to me even via phone. I & H managed to get leave, spend over $10k for just tickets for us 3, fly 20hrs+ each way with a toddler & surprise her 3 days b4 the wedding. She is pleasantly surprised & we both cry & she said how over them moon she is her niece and my H could make it too. The wedding day, my family & I get texts fm her about change of plans for the day & we are now to meet her 6hrs later than planned, for family photos & just before the wedding starts. We thought this was strange but we comply. They arrive ~3.5hrs late & blamed traffic! Just as we were about to walk in, the MIL turns & asks us why we missed the wedding! Turns out, they had a day of celebration elsewhere with their friends & his family & we are just invited to the reception! I’m angry & heartbroken for my poor parents also. My H & I leave with our toddler after escorting the bride & groom into the reception hall. No family photo as it’s now too late and the reception has started. I don’t say anything other than my daughter being tired, gave her a hug & congratulating her prior to leaving. I get a text several hours later from hr saying, it’s a shame we couldn’t stay for photos (they apparently took some later on but they had their actual wedding photos done earlier where we weren’t invited). I lose it & tell her to never speak to me again, + call her a few colorful names. My family are begging me to forgive her (she hasn’t apologized or asked for forgiveness) as she’s just young! I don’t buy it. So, AITA?
