i've only had european almonds (afaik), but my experience was the older they were, the stronger their flavour was, the more they dry out, the stronger it gets
i have actually bought a new ssd, thinking, well, moving will be a pain in the butt, but things will be better, right?installed pop 24, steamvr crashed, oh well, let's try 22 - steamvr still crashesvideo ran fine both cases but ugh i just... can't now. so i just keep using this old install until i gather the energy to figure things out and move everything
i switched from rtx 2060 to 5700 xt just a few weeks ago, and a bunch of things run well that barely could before. i was mostly concerned with the forza horizons, they run perfectly now
however there are some issues, mplayer/mpv shows a blue screen on most output drivers, and steamvr just crashes, so there are things to figure out (suggestions are welcome)
(btw i played w3 for a bit before on nvidia, and i had no issues, just to complicate things)
just as much as you can whip it
