I feel like average FPS doesn't tell the whole story for slower strategy or base-building games.

I'd care more about things like map stutter, UI responsiveness, loading times, and whether performance drops once your city or base gets bigger.

For a game like AOEM on PC, what hardware or performance details would actually help you decide if it's worth recommending to someone on older hardware?

I keep hearing operators say their customers "just don't like QR ordering."

Maybe some don't, but I think the bigger issue is everything that happens after the order is placed.

A QR code is just the front door. If the workflow behind it isn't solid, you've only moved the bottleneck from the server to the kitchen.

The things I'd be most worried about are:

Orders routing to the correct prep station every time.

Modifiers and allergy notes being impossible to miss.

Guests knowing their order was actually received—not just that payment went through.

FOH knowing a table has already ordered so nobody duplicates work or confuses the guest.

It seems like the menu itself is the easy part. The real challenge is making the kitchen and front of house workflow feel seamless.

For those who've implemented QR ordering, what issues caught you by surprise after launch? Was it printer routing, staff workflow, guest expectations, or something else?

I'm stuck between buying a used Steelcase Leap V2 for around $400–500 or a new mesh chair in the $250–350 range. The problem is I can't test either—small city, no showrooms nearby.

So instead of judging by marketing, I've been looking for a few features that seem to matter most:

Multi-position recline lock + adjustable tension

Adjustable seat depth

Adjustable lumbar support

Headrest with height and angle adjustment

Soft floor-safe casters

If you had around $400 and couldn't try a chair first, would you buy used premium or new mid-range?

Curious if there are any features you'd never compromise on after using a chair daily.

It feels like every AI productivity tool wants me to create another workspace, database, or notes app.

I already have years of markdown notes, PDFs, and project folders. My problem isn’t capturing more information, it’s actually reusing what I already have. I recently started experimenting with a local indexing tool over my existing folders so ChatGPT can help me find relevant passages instead of manually digging through files.

The search part works well, but I still run into a different problem: even when I find the exact paragraph from an old project, I’ve usually forgotten the surrounding context and why I wrote or saved it in the first place.

How are you all solving that? Do you rely on summaries, README files, metadata, or some other lightweight habit to keep old projects understandable months or years later?
