Yeah the standards are a real mess. Even the cables can't be trusted.

I hope when they do USB 5 all features are mandatory and all the cables are forced to qualify.

Thanks to the people responsible for the USB standards, this is a popular misconception.

For example there can be PCIe Tunneling support in USB.

Whatever laptop you do choose, make sure it has a fully featured USBC port. So you have the option to use an eGPU.

Ah that's when the game really starts. Want any advice?

I was very tempted to pick BG3 but lacking patch 7. I would be too frustrated about needing to mod the game the hard way.

I learned by watching other people play it on YouTube. aavak has some great videos where he explains the character creator and the meta.

And now they added graphics :o

I'd select the following, noting that if I follow the rules strictly games like Gary's mod are disallowed because they are multiplayer.

1. Cataclysm: Dark Days Ahead This is a game that could theoretically be played forever. Following the rules strictly I'll be able to use the open source aspect to tweak it.

2. Sims 3 Why not 4? Well 3 has more mature mods and expansion packs to enjoy. I'm less likely to be stuck with a big bug.

3. OpenViva let's face it, I'm going to be really lonely and as I slowly drift into insanity a VR escape filled with waifus may be exactly what I need to hold on. Plus it's open-source and it's plenty of time to learn how to use blender.

I never imagined a world where Intel was the little fish. Wild

Only redeemable when you spend $40 or more.

I remember when NFTs first appeared. I misunderstood their purpose thinking they were a clever way to transfer intellectual property rights for something. Only to later learn that it's basically poop, completely worthless.

I thought the game was neat but far too buggy to enjoy.

I only play these kinds of games with others and after a few days the servers would always grind to a halt or the gameplay would spaz out.

I'm waiting until it's done and I'll try it again.
