On a side note, I think I might be over AAA gaming. I mean I have some interest in eventually playing things like Spider-Man 2 and Yotei, but they keep being pushed down the list by amazing indie games like Balatro, Monster Train 2, Hades 2, Deep Rock Galactic Survivor, and now Absolum. Games that are a fraction of the price of those AAA titles and don't make me feel like I have to take my GTX 1080 out behind the shed Ol' Yeller style. And they're so easy to drop in and out of, unlike the bigger games where if I don't end up playing for a few weeks I've forgotten half the plot and all of the controls. Maybe I'm just entering my old man gaming phase

No Soulstone Survivors on that list?

But yeah, lots of games to play is great. I do like to crank things up on a ridiculous screen though. A 5090 isn't needed but it is a super nice thing to have to run stuff at unreasonable levels.

Well it is now

I dabbled in this back in the day but didn't sink too many hours. Maybe worth checking it out (again).

It looks fantastic AND has a soundtrack by Gareth Coker (of Ori and the Blind Forest fame)? Sign me up!
