What should my celebratory first game be? (lemmy.ca)

In a few days, the final two components will arrive to finally get a fully capable desktop PC again after roughly six months limited to a tiny chromebook wiped and replaced with Linux.

It took a while to have the spare cash to get a new/used system off of ebay with the intention of transferring the bulk of my higher end parts from my old desktop to that one, only to realize that the new desktop used a Lenovo 10 pin Power supply, so I'd have to order an adapter to be able to install my 750 watt PSU in order to install my 3060 Graphics Card.

That should be arriving this week, as well as an extra 16 gigs of ram to add to the 16 already in it.

So when all is said and done, what should be my celebration game after six months of being limited to an ex-chromebook with 4 gigs of ram?

  • EU4
  • HOI4
  • KSP
  • XCOM 2 (war of the chosen)
  • Rimworld
  • Civ VI
  • Uboat

Those are the ones that I've been missing the most these last six months. Which game, say you?

On my list but maaaan, triple A games are so bloody expensive now!

[–] Meridula@europe.pub 1 points 2 days ago

maybe try divinity original sin 2 then. That one is often on sale and pretty similar

If you aren't doing multiplayer then there is another way. Quite cheap in fact.

That's a young man's game. I did it back in my day. In fact it was introduction to Paradox Games with Crusader Kings 2. Eventually you get tired of all the futzing around making shit work properly and just decide to wait for a good sale.
