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?
Out of that list XCOM or HOI4. If I may add a suggestion, the original Subnautica is on sale for $7.49USD right now. One of the best video games I’ve ever played. I’m not a horror fan but the game was so good I could deal with it. Eventually you get used to the horror aspect and it gets easier to play. For me there was a flip where everything went from super scary to this is my home. Then you’re running by the scary elements making jokes and cussing them out like friendly neighborhood rival. That was just the story portion of the game. I didn’t fully explore the creative side of it. Still the fastest and best 75 hours I’ve ever spent on a video game.
