    “The gameplay is tedious, plot is boring, and the graphics could use some work. 2/10 would not recommend.”

    few other real life things to try out:

    -books are also better content than youtube and with no ads

    -learning to play your favourite song on your favorite instrument is like games if they were on ultra hard mode

      I’ll expand #2 to any art or creative endeavor that takes skill. Drawing, singing, writing, voice acting, regular acting, sculpture… It is so rewarding to just create stuff for yourself with no pressure to perform.

    I’m so lucky I picked up a prebuilt 2 years back. First prebuilt I’ve ever bought, but I didn’t think I could match the i5-1440, 4060, 32GB DDR5, 1TB NVME with mobo, case, and power supply for less than the $700 price tag.

    Can’t remember ever building a PC or buying any electronic toy and having it be worth more after 2 years of use. o_O

        I’ll admit the PSU and case are things I never bothered looking in to. I’ve run the CPU at 100% for over 14 hours straight and maxed the GPU for hours pushing normal games into VR though with no power issues.

        A 4060 isn’t really enough to push games at the insane 6kx6k needed to get them looking good in VR, so that was definitely more of a stress test than any normal gaming. :)

          Oh, okay, nice to hear that it has been good for you. The PSU is seriously quite important, if you want to keep the pc for a long time. With these component prices I would recommend looking into it as it’s probably the cheapest form of insurance
