I played it long ago, kinda like a Diablo clone, iirc. Not exactly my cup of tea, but not bad

Lotto makes sense, especially when the product is scarce. My region does that for high end alcohol.

And just like high end alcohol, there really isn't a need to have a high end GPU aside from a passion or hobby. Pretty much everything on the market now will run just fine old old and midrange cards.

The people yelling doom and gloom b/c most people are using cards with similar abilities to 1xxx cards seem to have forgotten, that was always the case. Gamers use regular hardware, not high-end.

It took about 8-10 years for minimum specs to start outmatching my last PC (it lasted from 2006 to 2019). That's just normal for most of us. My 2019 build will probably run everything under the sun till 2025, no worries... Maybe a memory upgrade.

Quoting: rcritI've always wondered where these blinged out rigs sit. My case is on the floor to my left so the only LED I can see is the front fan, and barely that. Do you have it sitting on your desk to your right to enjoy all the blinkin` lights to their fullest? I can never hear my case fans, I wonder how it is next to your head.

I never put my PC on the floor. I don't need it getting kicked by children, bumped by people, hit by mops and vacuums, or sucking up floor dust and dirt (even if it has fan filters) It sits on my desk next to my monitor.

No, It's not loud, barely even noticable. It's easier to route cables and peripherals. And easier to access for cleaning. Which means it does get cleaned.

And no, I don't have Lighting or anything. My case is stock.

Quote...because it really does give you a little extra spark of happiness and that should never be underestimated

Don't just limit that to RGB lighting! Little personal touches really make a difference. Every desktop case I've had for the past 20+ years (minus my current one) has been custom painted.

I've never been interested in windows or lighting, but if it makes you happy, that's the most important part.

My current desktop is a modern, sleek, Fractal Design Nano. I've intentionally not painted it because I wanted to maintain that modern look. I'll also freely admit it is probably my most bland case (even if it does look good)

We still need the obligatory 2023 predictions and wish-list!

Someone should make a 2023 LINUX BINGO ;)

Ohh, I thought of some 😜:

1) Valve discontinues Steam Deck because "Linux is hard"
2) Microsoft switches to Silverblue.
3) Arch users finally stop talking about themselves.


(Flees out the door)
😂😜😂😜

Something that it would be a lot of fun is to have GOL's community game of the year edition. Something like voting for the best RPG, adventure, platforming, best for Steam Deck, open source, etc Linux native games of the year, so Liam could create some content based on the top three of each category or something like that.

Well, as a consolation, there is this fine thread in the forums of people talking about their favorite game they played this year. Not exactly as snazzy as a poll or awards, but it's been nice seeing what people really enjoyed.

Weird, I went into the account settings and there's no option to add a birthday. I used Steam to sign in, so I wonder if Valve just forked it over when I log in...
