When you build a pc at the end of the last year, but nearly everything released since then is trash.
just gotta clean the filters regularly
My Haswell box gave out last year. Didn’t bother trying to revive it cause it wasn’t cost effective. Gave me a good 9 years of service though. Anyone want an rx580?
@[email protected] What are your PC specs? Also how often do you clean up your registries?
It’s been a long time for me. My peak PC gaming days were spent playing Warcraft II head-to-head with a friend over a modem. That was on a Macintosh Performa 550. I also had a ton of fun playing Myst and Flashback. I stuck to consoles after that.
Now the only gaming in my house is my kids playing Minecraft on a Dell OptiPlex 5040 that I saved from the dumpster at work because I’m a cheapskate. No dedicated GPU, 8GB RAM, but it gets the job done.

You are absolutely not a cheapskate for doing that. That’s being resourceful. You save money that way and can put it towards other things that matter more. Nothing wrong with that. Why spend a few hundred dollars for a new laptop/desktop when you can just get one used that will run for another 2-4 years before it dies?
great games are more mechanics than graphics anyway
I just finished Badurs Gate 3 on a gaming laptop I got from a yardsale a decade ago. Victory is bittersweet and a slideshow.
I love my Thinkpad T440p :3
A victory screen, by any other resolution, is just as sweet.
I miss my q6600 sometimes.
I mean even when it’s new tho
