Recently I got a new computer thanks to my roommate. He noticed that my PC had very little hard drive space on my C drive and that I was asking for better graphics so I could play more modern games so he decided that he wanted an upgrade too and helped me create a new PC. He bought a better graphics card for himself and a bigger C drive for my PC and then transferred his older graphics card to my PC.
So far it’s been great except I had to get slightly bigger and newer monitors for my new PC, you know better graphics require better monitors. So I got those as well and set everything up. All the stuff came on a Friday so couldn’t get anything set up in time for my normal D&D game Friday nights, then also slightly interrupted my Saturday game as I figured out how the hell Windows 11 worked. But for the most part got the hang of it.
Now I’ve had the new PC for a couple of months by this point and I do love it. Windows 11 is still a pain making things that were easy in Windows 10 more complicated but for the most part it’s just something I ignore as most everything else is just that same.
I do love the new PC though and well besides just getting an upgrade the main reason that I wanted it right now was more because I got the PC version of Horizon Forbidden West with the DLC Burning Shores. Since I never got a PS5 and have no plans on doing so I figured this was so far the only real game that I wanted to get on the system and a lot of the other games I like tend to be ported over to PC anyway so why get an exclusive system. I mean the real reason I got a PS3 when they came out was because they were actually the cheapest version of a Bluray player and why bother getting one machine that can just do that when you can get a game system that can also play Bluray for the same price. PS4 was just because better quality games and at that point PC and Console still had a major separation.
But yeah so I tore through Horizon: FW and BS in fact last weekend, Sunday played through all of BS in one evening. I didn’t do a lot of the sidequests by the end and may go back but probably not since I did pass FW on the PS4. RIght now though it has inspired me to start thinking about and trying to work on my own games again… Which will be my next blog post
