This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.

Be warned:

If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

I have a 7 year old desktop PC that 3 of the memory slot is dead. So I can only run a 8gb single memory slot.

It has a GTX 2070 and I'm still able to run 90% of the games I want to play.

Forza 5, Split Fiction, BeamNG(this one is def maxing it out).

Maybe I'll just buy a used motherboard, haha

Oh brother 8gb of singe rank memory is killing whatever CPU you got. The amount of stutters it must produce is killing me from around the world

It helps when I run nothing besides the game and shut down all other processes.

The only real trouble I have is with beamng.drive

Only reason I need a new PC is my CPU being too old for POE2 and also too slow for stellaris, that's not a lot

It has become a sort of tradition for me to play some sort of game that really doesn't need the performance as the first game on any new computer I get.

Why bother with new games when you can play old games on max settings and/or mod the ever-loving crap out of them?

The purpose of fancy PCs is to run Minecraft with shaders and a bunch of mods

Nostalgia is a hell of a drug

[–] [email protected] 4 points 2 weeks ago

Some of my favorites from back in the day are just so dated by this point that the nostalgia isnt cutting it. Modern games dont hit the same, old games dont play right...

Building the computer was the hobby. The games are incidental to the former

At least they're playing good games and having a good time though

It's me, but I haven't saved up enough yet. Even after having seen this, and understanding it, I still want it. ;-;
