A_Very_Big_Fan, do gaming w Games that restore faith in the industry?

OldSchool RuneScape restored my faith in the industry. RuneScape was ruined by microtransactions, but Jagex grew an enormous pair of balls and released an older version of the game and started fresh without any of the bullshit.

To this day it’s my favorite RPG. I could write a truly ridiculous amount about why I love it, but I recommend just playing it for yourself.

TheKracken,

They still have bonds in Osrs so some of the bullshit is still there, but yes it’s much much better than RS3

Oh, I loved Marvels Midnight Suns. There were some bugs I wished were fixed and never will be now (the problem with the chest and the armor thing) but otherwise adored it. The gameplay was fun, I loved exploring the grounds, loved talking to people!

Ooh I notice nobody has mentioned Wasteland 3 - it totally slipped under my radar, it is a fastastic RPG, with a fun story and good combat! :) It’s what I’d love fallout to be :)

Let’s go with A Monster’s Expedition Through Puzzling Exhibitions!

Humanity has died through hubris and climate change, and Human Englandland is all flooded. Now it’s the age of monsters! And one monster is touring the now-outdoors old Human Englandland museum, which is an archipelago cause flooding and such. All the bridges washed out, but there’s convenient trees! Let’s go see the museum.

Pushing logs from trees into adjacent water is the point of the game, but it has some of the simplest yet best mechanics about it that I’ve seen in a long time.

GreedFall. Old school RPG that flew completely under my radar. It has a 00s Bioware feel to it, before the dark times. The graphics aren’t perfect, etc., but it’s a really fun game with a decent story (so far).

GetOffMyLan, do gaming w Games that restore faith in the industry?

Stardew valley is just fantastic and still receiving free updates.

Grim dawn is an amazing diablo2 style arpg. The dual class system means it has huge replayability. Still getting updates and very reasonably priced dlcs.

Kenshi is a unique gaming experience. If you can get past the jankiness it’s an amazing open world squad game with no story or objectives as such. The story of your characters emerges from the things that happen as you play. Like getting enslaved etc.

Good luck assembling, you’ll love PC gaming I’m sure!

Just in case you don’t know already: pcpartpicker.com is an amazing site to plan a build. You can put all the parts you’re aiming to buy and it’ll tell you if there are any compatibility issues. You can share your parts list with a community too and ask for specific advice.

Concerning parts, XFX AMD GPUs are very well built and go for a reasonable price. Their 6000 series have great cost/performance value imho. I have a 6750XT in a PC connected to a 55’ TV and it’s hardly breaking sweat provided I don’t go overboard with game settings. For a normal computer screen you could have plenty of fun out of a 6650 XT I’m sure.

Could you get Amazon delivery from say, amazon.it? It could give you a chance to find what you’re looking for.

sleepybisexual,

I could deliver I guess, All I know is I don’t know how to pick parts and what is compatable with ehat

@helenslunch@feddit.nl avatar

That’s what PCPP is for. It will tell you if your parts are incompatible.

All I know is I don’t know how to pick parts and what is compatable with ehat

In addition to the site linked by the other user, you can also websearch “is [part1] compatible with [part2]?” and check the results, they’re often useful.

DdCno1,

Provided you never let AI help you with this.

lvxferre,
@lvxferre@mander.xyz avatar

Yeah, bullshit machine would be awful for that. The way that it works it’s simply too prone to invent parts that don’t exist, or claim that two pieces are compatible when they aren’t [or vice versa].

Megaman_EXE,

This seems like a dumb question, but ima ask it anyway. Is there a more interactive or “fun” way to learn the process of building a pc? I know there are certain compatibility issues parts can have with each other, and I want to learn how to do all this. But I feel like the info is really dry, and instead of just memorizing information, I want to make it fun, lol.

LTT has some pretty good building videos, very thorough!

Megaman_EXE,

I’ll have to take a look, thank you! I guess videos are more fun than just reading the information haha

DdCno1, (edited )

There’s PC Building Simulator and its sequel. The first one is on sale right now for 5 bucks (at least in my region):

store.steampowered.com/…/PC_Building_Simulator/

The sequel is also on sale right now, but it’s only on Epic:

store.epicgames.com/…/pc-building-simulator-2

It’s not perfect, but it’s a whole lot closer to the real deal than most other job simulators. You can genuinely use this to pick up the basics, but there’s no substitute building in the real world. The sequel got better reviews (79 on Opencritic vs. 70 for part 1), but I haven’t tried it yet.

What I’d recommend once you know which part goes where is getting some scrap parts from somewhere and assembling something functional out of them. I’m talking random parts found by the side of the road to at most 20 bucks in total for everything, case included. That’s how I built my first PC as a kid. It was only a 486 with 100 MHz (which came out in 1994) years after the GHz barrier had been breached (~2002ish), but it was mine and I loved it.

Megaman_EXE,

Ohh thanks! I’ll have to check that out! I didn’t even think about checking for a game lol

I built my current PC with a friend back in 2013, and I’ve done some minor upgrading since then, but yeah, most of my knowledge is out the window at this point so maybe this will do the trick :)

DdCno1,

Happy to help. Forgot to mention: Make sure to check the difficulty options and disable things like automatically placed cables.

Also, keep in mind that any prices in there tend to be widely out of date. If you want to use this to plan your build, use PCPartPicker to pick out the parts you can afford and then find them or the closest equivalents in this game. The sequel is obviously going to be a bit more up to date.

Megaman_EXE,

Thank you so much! I’ll have to give it a go!

teawrecks,

I feel like the end goal has always been the incentive for me. I learned to build a PC because, if I wanted to play the games I wanted, there wasn’t another option. I still do always enjoy the process of putting it all together, but I’m always ready to have it all working, booted, and put to use (if not just so I can be relieved that I don’t need to RMA anything, hah).

If the end goal isn’t something that interests you, then maybe it’s just not worth doing it.

Megaman_EXE,

Hmm, yeah, I get what you’re saying. I guess for me, I don’t feel like I have a ton of time to actually sit down and learn stuff, so any way I can make it more fun or give myself some kind of incentive to learn helps.

I know I want to get the end result, but it’s just a matter of tricking my stupid monkey brain into thinking it’s just fun games when I’m learning lol. It prevents me from getting bored long enough for me to dig in and get interested

teawrecks,

Honestly, it’s just a matter of knowing this list:

  • CPU
  • RAM
  • motherboard
  • GPU
  • hard drive
  • case
  • power supply

And roughly how they should fit together.

But every time I build a PC I have to figure out what the latest versions of these parts are, make sure they’re compatible, and when I get the parts they might have some unique form factor I have to figure out on the fly. Just going to PC Part Picker and picking out each part is 90% of the way there. After that it’s just a matter of getting them, sticking them together, crossing your fingers that it powers on, and installing an OS. If/when it doesn’t power on, THAT’S when you start learning…

But I would say building a PC is not a fraction as difficult as say, knowing how to work on a car.

Renacles, do games w Corporate greed is killing RuneScape

I quit when they announced the membership increase a few months ago.

I’ve been logging on for the new updates since my membership lasts until next month but they have all been pretty much terrible since.

It really saddens me to see the game go down this path.

Buttflapper,

Don’t worry, there will be better times ahead friend. Maybe not for this game, but I’m sure that someone will be inspired by the joy that the game brought them and create something similar. Games like Valheim arose this way, and the original dev (Gower) is creating another game with no microtransactions in it at all. Just sucks that this has to keep happening repeatedly with every game

Renacles,

I’m just glad I came back for the Elder God Wars year, that was some of the best RuneScape content we’ve ever gotten.
