I've played like 50 hours of Factorio in 2 weeks, then it started feeling like a job. Not in a sense that it was a chore, but in a sense that I literally do this kind of automation and optimization at my job, and I enjoy the process.

That's like minimal speks for properly modded Minecraft

You could argue that Shadow of the erd tree puts elden ring in 2024 because it had so much content.

Oh I totally see how you CAN do it. I've done it. A lot. Just nowadays i don't see why you would need to. Maybe a true 4k multi monitor setup but a 7800xt is cheap and great for 1440p and you can build a 1500 dollar rig (minus the monitor) and be pretty damn ok.

I tend to spend my money on homelab shit so my priorities have changed these pay few decades lol

2016 we got Blood and Wine for Witcher 3 and Fallout 4 (which is a good game, just not a good Fallout game). Oh and we got Doom.

2017 wasn't that great for AAA, except for Nintendo. But we still got great games like Breath of the wild, Prey, Nier Automata, Hellblade, Hollow Knight, Undertale to name a few.

2018 we got Red Dead Redemption 2, Monster Hunter World, God of War.

2019 we got Death Stranding, Divinity Original Sin 2, Sekiro, Resident Evil 2

2020 we got Final Fantasy 7 Remake, The last of us 2, Hades

2021 is kind of a dud because of covid.

So I'm terms of AAA only 2017 and 2021 can really be considered duds. But indies released some absolute bangers between 2016-2021. For example Disco Elysium, among us, outer wilds, Stardew valley, inscryption etc.

Yep. Hexcells Infinite hasn't overtaxed my RTX 3080 yet. That may have been a slight waste of money.

Okay fair enough, I kinda lumped in B&W with the main game which came out in 2015, ignored Nintendo altogether because I've never owned a console, forgot about God of War because I've never owned a console, forgot about RDR2 because while it was absolutely immersive at the time and I blew 40+ hours in a single week during my vacation on it... It was somehow completely forgettable after the fact. Never liked Death Stranding too much, TLoU2 didn't affect me because... You get the gist.

Half the good AAA games that came out in that time period, I ignored because PS and Nintendo exclusives were out of reach to me as a PC-only gamer (at least Microsoft put their exclusives on Windows in that era - something Sony is now catching up on). Of the indie games - there's no real marketing, I never have any idea when any particular game came out. I thought Stardew Valley has been going on for like at least a decade, but apparently it's only been out since 2016.

TO be fair, 2018 also had Kingdom Come: Deliverance which was probably my favourite game between Witcher 3 and Baldur's Gate 3, though not the only one I enjoyed obviously.

Me playing OSRS with 1k+ days on it, what's other games?

40gbps for both thunderbolt and usb4

Thanks for the corrections, looks like I got in late on BG3 and if we're nitpicking about Shadow of the Erd Tree being a DLC, we need to talk about horse armour.

In any case, the guy I was replying to was crying about no good AAA games in the last few years, so it still applies, but going by overall reviews you can just as easily sub in stuff like Metaphor ReFantazio or Tekken or Like a Dragon and I'm sure there's others in genres I don't care about

Helldivers 2 has Sony fuckery involved. I was considering getting it when I upgraded my machine, but not after the login nonsense.

I mostly play indie games, but I sometimes play AAA games (Ghost of Tsushima right now) and I am glad that I have my rig that can get 90 fps @ 4k (with fsr).

It's not because you don't use it every single time that you play a game that it is a waste of money.

For me it's 2 things :

Making a deck that works so well that it crushes everything.
-Getting shit cards and making it works.

The first one gets me hooked, the second one keeps me going. It takes a long time to figure it out, as you put it.

Now download optimization mods to offset the overhead of the other mods.

Compensate by running an electron app alongside it.

I built a 9800x3d + 7900xt + 64gb ddr5 + 2tb nvme ssd + 12 tb hdd setup for about 2k usd.

Now they mentioned a 1200 GPU cost which is 500 more than what i paid, so I would have paid 2.5k with that gpu.

My RAM speed and motherboard could be upgraded. But I don't see how those upgrades add up to 2.5k. You could go for more ssd memory for a purely gaming rig, but you could get a lot of that money from not buying a 12 tb hdd which is not a gaming rig thing to buy.

Lol that's almost exactly my specs except I have 46gb ram

I play a lot of dungeon crawl stone soup

Hey, the GPU plugin in runelite that adds lighting effects can absolutely EAT GPU power.

Also, when fleeing Earth, they don’t try to solve issues. They just set up new corporations doing the exact same stuff in other places. When the game presents a problem where taking down a CEO would be one of the best possible outcomes, it isn’t an option. Literally everything you do in the game is maintaining the status-quo of the modern world, despite it being the source of so many issues in the game. You can’t change anything and no one wants to either.

That sounds pretty realistic to me. I'm not sure if it's intentional, but this counts as a commentary on our social situation. Probably doesn't make for a compelling game, though.

everyone reading that probably had one in mind. i bet ill hit 75% of them with the balatro/stardew/terraria combo, though if yours is far more obscure, by all means enlighten me so i can buy it and let it sit in my backlog for years because of my own game addictions.
