+1 for Bazzite. I switched to it last October I think from Windows 11 and have been so pleased. I haven't needed to go back to Windows at all, all my games have run just fine, which is mostly what I use my computer for anyway. Getting used to rpm-ostree was a little bit of an adjustment for the rare occation I need to manage packages outside of flatpak but I am so happy that I can do everything I need to in this OS.

Is there a story? And if so, are you willing to share it?

One of my all time favorites. Discovered it on Guitar Hero: World Tour. The song's simple but groovy bassline inspired me to learn bass, and while I never did much with my guitar, remains one of the songs I can still play from memory when I do pick it up from time to time.

Damn, my iPad doesn't go beyond iPadOS 16. Guess I'm going out to get a new iPad. Great work!

This but also the Dreamcast.

The list looks great! The only recommendation I'd make is to maybe add an additional 500 GB SSD and put the OS on that, and use the 4 TB drive for just storage. I like to do this with builds so that if something happens with the OS drive (e.g. corruption or driver issues), you can comfortably reinstall the OS on the smaller drive and minimize data loss.

Tales of Vesperia was always a favorite couch co-op RPG of mine. With the Steam release, you can even play the game remotely with everyone via Steam Remote Play Together. It's not an MMO, and the exploration is single player, but up to 4 players can control the party members in battle. The only major gripe I have with the Steam version (applies to all versions of the remaster) is that if playing in English, some of the voice work that was added in to the remaster is noticably inconsistent with the original dub, since there was about a 10 year gap between recordings. But if that's not a deal breaker (can always opt for Japanese audio), I'd definitely suggest it.

True. But do I really need all those case fans that I'm holding onto? Or that big bag of DDR3? Probably not but it's cool ok...

My first answer would have been retro game collecting, but that's already been discussed, so I'll posit custom PC building. That's a hobby rife with keeping spare parts "just in case".

I just installed Bazzite about a month ago and love it! Used Ubuntu in the past and it was ok, but eventually went back to Windows. I definitely don't feel that way about Bazzite though, I think I might stick with it as my primary OS!

I've recently gotten hooked on the Yakuza series. The whole series goes on an aggressive sale pretty regularly on Steam. I'd recommend starting with Yakuza 0.

 

Gamers Nexus just published a video detailing the upcoming release of AMD's 5600X3D CPU. Looks like it will be a U.S. and Micro Center exclusive product as there weren't enough yields to release the product globally. The CPU is supposed to be $230 at launch. This will be one last hurrah for anyone on AM4, and if it's anything like the 5800X3D (which to some extent it should be, it's apparently a failed/cut down 5800X3D), then it might be a good upgrade option for anyone using a 3000 series Ryzen CPU or older. Of course, definitely wait for reviews before buying, those should be up July 6th. What are your thoughts on this? Is anyone planning to upgrade to it if there performance is compelling? I think even though it's unfortunate that it's a U.S. only launch, it's much better than AMD just throwing out the CPUs.
