for sure, I literally set up a classic LAN party with four friends to all start guild wars 2 together on opening weekend and we played for like two or three hours before we all decided to give up and play something else
I've played it way more but actually totally agree. I beat all the difficulties and unlocked probably 80% of content, but I've probably got less than 50 hours in it.
sts getting a phone version created like an entire month for me where I didn't play anything else lol. idk how many sts runs I've done but I'm scared to look
I find it varies a bit to bit based on the microwave, but on average I get the most success by putting the plate in the middle of the microwave and arranging the food in a "donut" on the plate, it seems like the outsides of the plate if it's in the middle do the best, probably because they get more rotation than the center.
I've done server manufacturing in my career and generally I use only two tools to check disk health if it's not behind another card:
smartctl - this will give you a readout of disk information, and depending on which options you use it will give you attributes that can indicate pre-failure modes and current health as well as link health in case you have a bad cable or port on your motherboard.
if you want all the information generally I would do this:
smartctl -x /dev/sda
(or whatever drive designation it is)
look at the attribute section and the phy health section at the bottom.
warning this can be a little complicated to interpret if you don't already know what to look for so read the manual on Smart CTL to see the values mean.
fio - this is a multi-purpose stress utility. it's not too complicated to set up but you do want a configuration file and you might need a little help with that or to use a copy from online.
this will run some operations on your drive and provide you a report about how well it performed.
warning, do not run long read write operations on SSD, it will eventually wear out the drive.
I would probably do a longer sequence of sequential and random reads with a couple of short runs of random read write
