UFO50 runs great on my R36S via Portmaster.

MrScottyTay,

I’ve played loads of it on my anbernic GBA

dil,

this is on steamos like a steamdeck, think thats more for weaker handhelds

MrScottyTay,

Ah I see. I think it’d be a good reference point on what’s on the lower end still though even if you don’t use portmaster itself

One of the smallest games in terms of disc space is Animal Well with under 40mb.

Suck_on_my_Presence,

And it’s a great game at that

GottaHaveFaith,

Really??? Watching the trailer I thought it would be at least 1-2 GB

ieatpwns,

That dev is a magician

prole,

Was going to say Animal Well. Amazing game

Highly recommend Voices of the Void

A semi horror/base management game where you’re a lone Doctor of Astrophysics on a radio signal listening station in the Swiss Alps, tasked with cleaning up the trashed base, maintaining servers, the site transformers running so you have power to lock your doors, and collecting extraterrestrial signals.

You may or may not be alone, if you can’t save the game, then it’s definitely more ‘may’ than ‘may not’.

Recently updated to v0.9 (unstable but functional) with a Christmas event active this month. Even as a game still in alpha it’s worth the pricetag, currently on itch.io under mrdrnose, believe there’s plans for it to end up on steam.

TearofGrace (TearofDisgrace on youtube) is a proper character of a guy, livestreams it at least once a week and recently put out a video of his exploits in v0.8

I would recommend Noah Caldwell-Gervais’s Channel for excellent series retrospectives and long form scripted gaming content.

Josh Strife Hayes may be interesting to you either scripted retrospectives or twitch stream VODs

Finally the Let’s Drown Out series of videos by Yahtzee Croshaw and Gabriel Morton are some of the best Let’s Play content I have watched - though they are quite old now.

NutinButNet, do gaming w Does anyone know of a good comunity for gaming pc building?

I’m not aware of a dedicated community, but I’m willing to help if I can here. What do you need help with?

Thanks! Well everything. I don’t want to overpay for something that it’s not worth it and some of those pcs can go really high up. I also would like a pc good enough to play some 3d games like house fliper and similar bjt nothing too advanced or online. It has to be good enough for those games and some 3d modeling, but again nothing major.

Any tips?

NutinButNet,

Oh okay, that actually seems like on the lower to middle end of things, all things considered.

One of the best things you can do is to check out the system requirements for some of those things you hope to run which can help give you an idea of what you’ll need.

For example, if you view the game House Flippers 2 on Steam, you’ll see the screenshot below which kind of gives you an idea of what you want to aim for in terms of the right pieces you’ll want to buy for your computer:

https://hilariouschaos.com/pictrs/image/3c410d95-2736-417d-b395-6ee6adda56ec.webp

You’ll ideally want to go for the recommended or above the recommended for the best possible performance of the game. The minimum specs are the absolute lowest that can run this game at its most basic level, which will often not be the best quality or run at the best specs, so you don’t want to follow those.

What are some of the 3D modeling programs you hope to use? That will likely be more intensive, depending on what it is, than the gaming will be.

A great resource for building and budgeting a PC build is pc part picker: pcpartpicker.com

If you’re not familiar with it, it basically helps you find and build a PC and shows you about how much it all will cost you. It’s also a great resource for new beginners since it guides you through exactly what is needed so you don’t end up surprised and have to make multiple trips to the store/purchases online.

Dude you gave me a full tutorial! Thank you so much! The 3d building is not the worst, I have a notebook that don’t really run house flipper and does run fusion 360 so I guess the game is heavier.

A lot of those 3d management games that I like don’t run in my humble notebook so I need a better pc for it and it would be interesting to have a full pc because I can improve only parts and the notebook is not as flexible

NutinButNet,

You’re welcome! I’m glad I could provide some helpful stuff to start :)

Ah I see! I’m also a Fusion 360 user too! I was thinking you were talking about stuff like Blender or CGI creation in Unreal Engine which are much more demanding on your computer. But yeah, Fusion 360 isn’t that bad at all!

You’re absolutely right about the specs then! Your gaming sounds like what you will want to check out.

I’d highly recommend visiting the various games’ pages on a site like Steam and seeing their system requirements. You’ll want a good processor and video card (GPU = Graphics Processor Unit, also called a graphics card) more than anything else which most games will really thrive on. Most gamers seem to do well with getting an Intel i5 or i7 or a AMD Ryzen 5 or Ryzen 7. A i9 or Ryzen 9 is probably overkill. For a GPU, this is something you’ll want to research on. I’d recommend checking out some YouTube videos and watch the most recent ones you can that compare the graphics cards and show you how they perform in games. Maybe even check out some YouTubers who showcase the games you’re interested in and can talk about what specs worked well for them too.

Thank you!! I didn’t want to overspend in a super amazing graphic card when I’m really only using for smal games. Your tips were awesome I will look into it for sure.

I think Research Indicates’ Jurassic Park: Trespasser let’s play from 2008 is still the greatest let’s play of all time. It was from the early days of high effort LPs on Something Awful, and while Trespasser is a very interesting game for multiple reasons, it’s also an unfinished mess that is better watched than played (if you could even get it to work).

I like watching people play Super Mario World romhacks. Grand Poo World is big and the streamer who made it (barbarousking) is entertaining

SandLight,

I believe in Barbarous King

Also, it’s been fun watching everyone play Dram 3.

If you like variety gaming yt you can check out youtubers like

Satiire, who tries to platinum random ps games,

Kong, that showcases strange (mostly bad) games,

Kedvuit, who’s got a great spirit and loves to showcase strange shovelware,

planet clue, which is also cool but I can’t easily categorize just yet,

Noah Caldwell-Gervais, if you want very intricate scripts and commentary

Open Clubs, who has the “Worst platformer ever” series,

Super bunny hop

It’s jabo and joov do fallout/skyrim content

Shagrots cave is pvc2 challenges.

Basement brothers does oldschool rpgs.

For “I just want let’s play games” I recommend checking out speedrunning marathons.

I’m playing Pokemon X on 3DS. I haven’t played much of the series, I’ve only finished Pearl on DS ages ago, but I’m having fun with this one. I’m a bit confused about the combat, I don’t really understand what options I have in battle or if the outcome is predetermined by the teams.

I’m trying the demo for Raidou. Seems like an interesting setting and the combat is pretty fun.

Re-subbed to FFXIV, I’m playing the post-Endwalker MSQ.

Megaman_EXE,

Pokemon typing and attack types are the most important thing. Water is good against fire etc etc. I think that’s the main thing at least! I wana go back and finish pokemon X one day. I tried grinding for a special evee and I burnt myself out before I finished the actual game lol

_Lory98_,

Thanks. I do understand types (although can’t remember some combinations). I was trying to understand strategies to use when using a neutral or disadvantaged type (using buffs/debuff for example) but couldn’t find any (I don’t think I understand the combat system overall that much).

I’m currently just going through the story trying to make a more or less balanced team. I’m just past the electric gym.

I’d just take a look at the Steam Deck Verified pages as that’ll give you a good idea about a game (at least though Proton).
