I think this is a troll...post a screenshot of your Steam Library so we can see what "games" you actually play. I know Rancidmilko is a big fan of that simulation game where you drive a bus all day and the one where you run a coffee shop. I remember CW was a big fan of Ori and the Blind Forest and the sequel.

I have about 130 games on steam. I also play a couple of MMORPG's and have a ps4 and a switch.I think this is a troll...post a screenshot of your Steam Library so we can see what "games" you actually play.

I currently have an alienware desktop which I'm selling to finance the new box. Getting about a grand for that.
Why would this be a troll? Either way I won't post my steam page because PI

Play the indie game of the year 2024 Balatro instead, great variant of poker.

Geez and I felt I was being reckless by spending $1250 on a drone.

I guess we're long past the day of going to those computer shows where they have tables upon tables of computer parts, cases, peripherals, etc and you pick and choose and build your own custom machine.

Im doing that with Arduino. Building stuff and learning code. I have several boxes of electronics in my "workspace" and it's a fun hobby

I used to stay up until dawn resolving IRQ conflicts and configuring jumpers.
I almost miss those days.

I got one of those processors in my last box I got from arduino. Quite a bit of power in that little board.

End product could make for a sweet little HTPC.

I have 8 different processors altogether. Supposedly I can make anything I can conceive of. I want to learn video game coding.

That's a great video card, Jack
Stay away from the RTX 5000 series
The RTX 4000s will be known as the last ones that could really play everything

Well @RANCIDMILKO ™ ®© a lot of the best high end special effects software has been migrated from Windows or Mac to run on Linux now. Ie - Nuke. Substance Painter. Maya. And the studios buy these custom made PCs like @jack bought loaded with linux & high speed SSD’s & fast RAM chips eh?
Seems Windows or Mac cant deliver the desired speeds the studios desire cuz theres too many bottlenecks in their OS that slow the computers down.

A quick search on Google says that most top-notch CGI artists these days use MacOS or Windows and Linux is used mostly to create networks to use on render farms, Joe
Linux doesn't have drivers for Nvidia GPUs, high-end gaming and software is not recommended on that platform, AMD GPUs can do some gaming, of course, it's gonna be limited on which games can run natively on Linux and you'd need Steam to have a decent library of games running
Once again, you seem to be more confused than certain, although not 100% wrong.

Remember when you suggested me that "Darkwood" game?

The big bear-trap with Linux gaming lies with a lot of multi-player games, as most game publishers refuse to port their anti-cheat schema to Linux.

Yep, especially ones that run on Kernel-level, like Valorant
