I had no issues with my 4060Ti, except DLSS support was spotty - however I read an article that covered Nvidia providing official FOSS support for DLSS, so maybe that’s improved. Still having no issues on my laptop with Iris Xe integrated chip set.
Oooh sims 4 is a really good take.
I like your taste
Stipulating what happens with MMO’s in this timeline might be prudent. I’m assuming that live servers remain online and/or reputable vanilla like private servers are available.
Path of Exile 1
Final Fantasy XIV
Minecraft
Escape from Tarkov
Beatsaber
Elite Dangerous
Dark Souls 3
Skyrim
EVE
Mario Party (maybe 6?)
Grand theft Auto 5 (assuming FiveM remains)
My tenth spot stayed open and I didn’t feel compelled to fill it with anything. I was writing out all the games which could have taken that slot and noticed that GTA V fills an important void in my original list, so for the sake of completeness I decided it deserves the last spot.
The list of games which could have had the spot I was writing… Fellowship, World of Warcraft, Sea of Thieves, Civilization V, Breath of the Wild, Dark Souls 2 SOTFS, Hogwarts Legacy, Oblivion Remastered… If I think on it enough there could be more. And in fact, I’d probably rather have Hogwarts legacy in that 10th slot if it wasn’t unfortunately abandoned so quickly after launch, it desperately needs and deserves a new game plus mode and further story expanding DLC.
My logic with my list is pretty simple, as there’s only a handful of experiences in gaming that really compel me any more, so I just picked my favorite game for each of those categories. ARPG, sweaty ability based tab-target MMO, fantasy sandbox, sci-fi sandbox, rhythm, soulsborne, party game. EVE, Skyrim, and GTA5 don’t fit into any of the categories I listed, but I don’t really know how to classify them articulately.
SteamDB puts my account at $2400 “at lowest prices”, but I’ve definitely spent way more than that, and I own dark souls prepare to die, which a new key for that is up on cdk4g and g2a for $400-$500 alone.
I’ve been thinking about buying a bunch of hard drives and downloading my entire library and cracking it all and stashing the drives in long term storage just in case. That’s been a thought for a very, very long time though…
