In a few days, the final two components will arrive to finally get a fully capable desktop PC again after roughly six months limited to a tiny chromebook wiped and replaced with Linux.
It took a while to have the spare cash to get a new/used system off of ebay with the intention of transferring the bulk of my higher end parts from my old desktop to that one, only to realize that the new desktop used a Lenovo 10 pin Power supply, so I’d have to order an adapter to be able to install my 750 watt PSU in order to install my 3060 Graphics Card.
That should be arriving this week, as well as an extra 16 gigs of ram to add to the 16 already in it.
So when all is said and done, what should be my celebration game after six months of being limited to an ex-chromebook with 4 gigs of ram?
- EU4
- HOI4
- KSP
- XCOM 2 (war of the chosen)
- Rimworld
- Civ VI
- Uboat
Those are the ones that I’ve been missing the most these last six months. Which game, say you?
I always forget that Stellaris is sitting in my steam library as well. It’s like the forgotten stepchild of Paradox. It’s also the one that I have the least amount of DLC for since (even though I’m a sci-fi nerd), I’m a history nerd even moreso.
Yeah I have a love/hate relationship with Paradox sometimes. I love their games until I hate them, then I love them again. The DLC and their pricing is always a challenge. It’s confusing.
I refuse to do the subscription. I play what I’ve got, and if there’s a massive sale, maybe I’ll pick up one or two down the road. But paradox subscriptions just feel icky to me for some reason. I’m old, I even still buy albums instead of streaming.
