  • I hop in and out whenever a new update comes out, feels like I slip into my usual grinding routine, collect resources then sell resources. Then a new game comes out and I drop off again. I did get it for the Steam Deck and appreciate the cross save feature and they really do deserve credit for the ongoing updates. But it’s a sandbox and same game mechanics as FarmVille sometimes.

    Welcome 👋🏻








  • Do you mind sharing your settings? I followed a few YT vids and have almost everything on low, performance isn’t “bad” but the pop in of scenery is a little daunting and hard to stealth past the arc. I only played free loadouts when I played handheld over T’giving at my in-laws. Still crazy impressive how well a new online game like this runs on a handheld, but I suspect I can do better! Hopefully the Steam Machine isn’t $1k+










  • Thanks for the recommendation, I got this one for just over $100 after tax. Space is an issue for me, so more machines isn’t the best and I can always keep the Mac Mini chugging if needed. I’ll probably only do the HDD/SSD and RAM upgrade, but it’s definitely worth keeping in mind if I throw a new NIC or GPU in it. I am thinking of putting a Noctua fan on the CPU cooler to keep it quieter and cooler!


  • Just ordered a used HP EliteDesk 800 G3 SFF (3.6GHz Intel Core i7-7700, 8GB DDR4 RAM, 256GB SSD) off EBay to replace my Apple Mac mini “Core i7” 2.3 (Late 2012/Server). Hoping to put 32GB of RAM in it, 1TB NVMe boot drive and maybe a 3.5” HDD for media instead of using an external drive. Might move to NixOS (I’d like to learn how to administer Nix even though it’s very complicated sometimes) and Podman, instead of using Proxmox and Docker Debian VMs and LXC containers.

    Any advice and guidance appreciated!
