I use backblaze too, started with the personal back up, but swapped to the B2 solution as it was supported by my NAS. The cost of the actual storage isn't much, most of the cost is in access, so for data that doesn't alter much it worked out just as cheap, and easier to do things that way.

    Idle Champions of the Forgotten Realms has an Android version. It's F2P, though with many ways to buy stuff, but you can totally enjoy that game without spending a penny. Did so for years, though I eventually spent a few bucks as a thank you, given I have about 8000 hours logged on the steam version.

    Also Watcher of Realms is a standout of the Gatcha like hero battlers which I much prefer to the likes of RAID.

    Unsure of how much you need a Google acount though as I use mine for Android stuff anyways.

    The wife and I are currently playing through Tiny Tina's Wonderlands. Tina has been making us laugh for years now, there's something about Ashley Birch's deliveries that just works. Quite a lot of the lines given to the PCs to say randomly as your are fighting are great too. Always hardest with a game that is meant to be funny, but they pull it off.

    I'd go down the route of so called 'Walking Simulators'* though I use the term First Person Experiances, such as Dear Esther, Gone Home or maybe even Firewatch. Games were you can take you time and practice the feeling of movement. From there if you are looking to get into shooter style games go for something Co-Op. My wife and I started on Time-Splitters where she basically stayed back as a sniper whilst I ran in. (This was back in 98/99) From there we ended up going through Halo, Gears and eventually Borderlands as they came out. Anything where you have a bleed out / respawn mechanic is great.

    *For me a walking simulator would be more like Octodad where you actually have to work at the walking! :D

    Probably not quite what you meant but two monitors for Dwarf Fortress is a god send. Game on one screen, the other for DFHack console, Announcements, SoundSense, Dward Therapist, and various other utils. Could probably use 3 actually...

    I do enjoy City Planner Pays, such a lovely voice. But Biffa was my first, and therefore will always be my favourite. Though I haven't watched much since CS2 came out as that release was so not what I was looking for in a new Cities game.

    Jeg brugt tre år at lære dansk, jeg prøver at snakke danske når jeg kan, men alligevel ville folk skifte over til engelsk når de hører min accent. :D Eller nogle gange tysk!

    Hello all, looking for a sanity check and any advice from you good folks. I've always built my own PCs, however I haven't done a build for myself in some time. For a bit of perspective my current system is an i5-3750... so yup.

    Anyways, I'm thinking of hopping up to an AM5 system hoping that it will be valid for a few years (though maybe not the 10+ I've had out of this system!) while also getting in as relatively cheaply as possible, whilst still being in a fairly solid place. So my thought are as follows:

    CPU: AMD Ryzen 5 7600X (Cooling via a Pure Rock 2)
    MoBo: ASUS TUF Gaming B650-PLUS WiFi
    RAM: Kingston FURY Beast DDR5 6000Mhz 32GB
    GFX: MSI RTX 3060 Ventus 2X (12GB)
    NVMe: WD Black SN770 2TB
    PSU: Corsair RM850e
    Case: NZXT H7 Flow Midi Tower (Will be a shame to let go of my old NZXT Phantom but too many of the fans are weird sizes so awkward to replace, and wasn't designed with modern AIOs in mind, should I go that route in the future.)
    

    A couple of extra bits of information:

    It's mainly a system I will use for gaming, though these days there's not so many fast pace shooters as there are slow paced city builders and the like, so ultimate frame rates are not a super top priority for me. Edit: Gaming on a 1440P LG Ultragear

    I went RTX 3060 as it seemed to be the cheapest way to get a relatively modern card (Currently using a GTX 1660 Ti) with 12GB of VRAM, as I've started playing around a lot with AI Image Generation which does like to eat up VRAM.

    PSU is probably way more than this system will need, but figured it was best to leave headroom for future CPU/GPU upgrades, and the price difference for lower wattages seems negligible. (Contemplated a 1000W, but there the price jump seems to lie)

    So any advice, or just "yup looks good" feedback would be welcomed before I jump back in to building.

    Oh also this build is currently around the 10,000 DKK range and hoping to stick around that area. ($1,400 / £1,150 / €1,350)
