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

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.

This exactly. I bought a custom build specifically for Elden Ring. After blowing that out of the water, my next most played game that year was Stardew iirc. It's about having power for when you need it rather than always using it to feel like it has value

Have your heard of our Lord and Savior... balatro?

oh you mean the "The wheel of fortune is fucking rigged" simulator? Why yes. Yes I have.

Noita, Streets of Rogue, and Dwarf Fortress are some of favorite games.

I haven't played it, but Animal Well looks great.

It's not a pixel game, but because it has Sims 1 graphics, I think Project Zomboid should get a special mention.

It’s wild how many comments I got saying buy used when if you check HWS it’s full of 4080s clearing $900-$1000 used

If it were commentary, they'd talk about it. It just is, and it can't change. They just copied what they know without considering why.

Gelatine and I wanna maker are cool obscure games

Celeste is also fun, but less obscure

I'm always a huge fan of Deep Rock Galactic, Moonring, Rimworld

Yeah it can, if I use that plugin fullscreen on my 1440p monitor, I can't even watch YouTube on another monitor because my GPU is maxed out lmao

I see that you bought expensive hardware just for modded minecraft. That shit's no joke.
