I'm thankful I rebuilt my rig during the incredibly brief period during COVID where RAM was cheap as chips and mid tier GPUs were under $500.
Outside of Fallout and KCD2, I don't play anything graphically intensive, so hopefully I'm good for another 5-10 years.
Wishful thinking, I know. But I've had periods where I simply didn't have a gaming box that could run new hotness so I ignored the industry.
Got a lot of reading done. Maybe this is for the best.
i also bought two gaming rigs and a small home server in the time between crypto and ai, so i think it was a good time. unfortunately i had a huge storage fallout this year in the server. no data is lost due to redundancy, but i can't rebuild it because the seller returned me the original price as warranty...
I sold an arm and a leg to do a build this year, accepting the cost because it's probably the last one I'll ever be able to do and if I didn't strike I now it wouldn't be an option at all soon
I did mine end of 2021/beginning of 2022, these days I actually use my LCD steam deck for most everything and even then I'll often stream from my desktop. Right now I'm on a morrowind kick so playing a nearly 25 year old game, deck handles openmw and mods amazing.
I have a huge backlog already so don't feel compelled to buy a lot of new stuff and I'm just not keeping up with what's hot anymore. I have other hobbies than gaming as well, other reason I've really liked having the steam deck is it's easy to pause and come back later if you want.
