As a fledgling coffee nerd, that article is very clearly a coffee nerd being a bit tongue in cheek. The thesis is not "Starfield is bad because the devs made bad coffee machines", instead he's connecting the lifeless NPC's to the strangely designed coffee machines in a way that should make it pretty clear that it's not entirely serious. Totally fair if the humor didn't land, but I thought it was amusing. Those coffee machines do look absurd.
- q3k 3y agoAs another coffee nerd I'm happy to realize I wasn't the only one who did a double-take when they first noticed the in-game espresso machines.
- notjoemama 3y agoIndividually packaged units of coffee grounds in a micro-chipped plastic container for the pot to recognize it as an officially licensed “pod” is our daily life. I think real coffee has become absurd. lol
- chongli 3y agoThat’s lazy average Joe’s daily caffeine supplement. Coffee nerds have their own brand of absurdity: coffee distribution tools, pressure profiling, temperature profiling, water treatment mineral packs… never mind all the money people spend on high end burr grinders and plumbed-in rotary pump machines!

- zeta0134 3y agoI do feel like the last remaining werido in my family with a standard drip machine. But why would I replace it with pod-DRM hell? It makes a perfectly good cup of joe, with the quality mostly impacted by the beans and whether or not they were pre-ground. So far, every cup of coffee I've had from a pod has been noticeably worse. And I'm supposed to pay a premium for these things? I'm not even a coffee snob and I can easily tell something went horribly, horribly wrong somewhere along the line.
