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.

@MissJinx@lemmy.world avatar

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.

idk why but nothing beats trackmania for me in racing games

MentalEdge,
@MentalEdge@sopuli.xyz avatar

It’s AG racers I keep coming back to, myself. (BallisticNG)

I enjoy trackmania a ton, but everytime I play I get such a dirty feeling after about a week.

Ubisoft really ruined it with TM20. I miss the sound and aesthetic of Turbo, that’s where it peaked for me (though I’ll admit some of the tracks produced by the community in TM20 are art)

Solrac,

I’ve hard of BallisticNG (and Beamdrive, was it) How are they? In contrast, I’ve only ever enjoyed arcade racers (lately Sonic Crossword and Burnout)

MentalEdge, (edited )
@MentalEdge@sopuli.xyz avatar

BallisticNG and BeamNG are completely unrelated.

The former is an EXTREMELY faithful re-creationg of WipEout physics (both ps1 and ps3/4 era games, depending on mode), but with support for mods and community-made tracks.

youtu.be/fx7ruNdS100

If you haven’t played WipEout, the controls involve four axes of analogue input. Pitch, craft tilt, as well as left and right air-brakes. The fastest way around a track requires extreme precision and a bit of luck.

In addition, weaponry is allowed and you must manage your energy (which is both your health and boost-fuel).

stealth_cookies,

Agreed, no matter what comes out Trackmania is the game that has me coming back day after day.

I love MKWii and the mods for it, but god does the game have the worst item balancing in the series. The AIs are all constantly spamming POW Blocks and Blue Shells, which often get rid of your item right as a Red Shell or two are headed your way. There’s no invincibility buffer after getting hit by the Blue Shell either, so you get hit by the Reds too. The fact the Blue Shell instantly stops you in place while sending you flying upwards instead of sending you flying forwards like in other Mario Karts means it’s an even worse time loss. And it’s not uncommon to get hit by multiple in one lap.

Still my favourite Mario Kart, just very frustrating sometimes.

Definitely, the item balancing is funny until you’re on the receiving end.

I’ve been trying to thrive in Vintage Story, so far it’s been kicking my ass the entire time (late bronze age) - I’ve got a friend hyped for Hytale, I’m hoping I can convince him to give VS a try too/instead…

I’m having fun getting my ass kicked on Hell Let Loose. Really enjoying walking for several minutes and then just dying without ever seeing the enemy.

Pechente,

One of my absolute favorite games despite the many frustrating moments. I hope you‘ll stick with it. The fun increases significantly once you get the hang of it.

Megaman_EXE,

I tried this a few years back, and while I enjoyed the concept on paper, in actual practice, I found it frustrating.

The main issue is I have no idea if someone is cheating. As much as something like a kill cam would ruin the immersion, it also would give me reassurance to know that the game is still fair.

I want to give it another shot one day and just try to accept that I have no idea if people are playing fairly lol.

Just recently got Sonic Lost World’s installed on my steam deck with mods to make movement bearable and add the exclusive DLC.

Also still slowly grinding my way through Toon Town Rewritten. I’m currently at around maybe 22 laff points and am a few quests away from unlocking my 3rd gag.

Maybe I’m just tired of modern, overly-processed graphics. There’s a certain clarity to this era of graphics that’s hard to pinpoint.

Yeah it looks good without mods. I’ve never modded oblivion because I never felt a need to.

I find it cool that you have such a solid group of friends to game with, it looks like you guys have tons of fun! ( I’m envious). Some 14 years ago, when I got casually into gaming; my crowd were mostly just drinking buddies, so sadly that didn’t stand the test of time…

I’m thankful to have them to play games with. We all went to highschool and when me and my best friend were doing our Halo 2 Legendary run and about to move onto 3 we mentioned it to one of our other friends and they offered to join for 3. Then the 4th guy joined and by then we had kind of gotten a group together. I’m glad we were able to reconnect in that way

I am sure anyone who played Tears of the Kingdom did that at some point, but there are those koroks little guys you’re supposed to guide to their destination, generally by designing machines to carry them there.

Of course instead you just strap them to the most absurd rocket powered contraptions and play Korok Space Program.
