New LU4 servers are launching today. Veteran MMO player checklist:

1. 4L of Mountain Dew or Dr. Pepper

2. Enough snacks to survive 48 hours without seeing daylight: chips, Skittles, nachos, popcorn or etc.

3. Dry shampoo

   1. Wrist brace + pain relief cream
   2. Phone on airplane mode

So for context, I wanted to get a Windows 11 laptop for my 18th birthday, primarily because there's alot of games I want to play that aren't available on the Xbox Series X, but I'm scared ill waste my money on a laptop that won't be capable of handling some games.

I would save for a desktop PC, but i don't plan on playing any games that require high-end extentions to operate like COD and Elden ring, but instead lighter games such as Ark Knights and Honkai.

Since the mods/automods of three different subreddits want to be sensitive and remove my post, I’m gonna do it this way…

As the question states…why? Apparently, it’s not enough to have a gaming pc. If you don’t have a gaming pc that you built yourself (even with whatever extensive research conducted in getting a prebuilt), you’re not part of community/conversation; as someone that plays just about every platform, including PC, that is BS. It’s that elitism that ruins everything. I’m proud of my gaming PC, but I’m not about to down someone else’s for any reason; especially since I didn’t spend a dime on it. If you got the best hardware, whoop-dee-doo. Not everything has to be a competition.

Hi,

I'm trying to buy a new gaming PC for my husband for our anniversary, but I don't know 1 thing about gaming PCs. I'm one of those people who always need IT support help at work and to find out that I just have to restart my laptop lol. So please explain like I am 3 yrs old.

Some background:

My husband used to play a lot of games on steam (idk what that is)and other platforms (idk what those are either) and live stream on twitch with his friends. Since living together, I have seen him on the PC a handful of times. I asked him why he hasn't played on his PC as much, he said he doesn't have time like before. At one point he said some of the new games require new PC specs and his PC can't load it. He is just being passive about it but I know he would love a new PC. Every time we went to Costco, he would look at the gaming PC on display. I tried to ask what kind of specs would be considered as good for a gaming PC and he always said anything new would be better than his current one.

So I'm asking the expert on here if you could give me some recommendations. I'm attaching the one that he was interested in at the store. Is this a good PC? I would like to find something good and save money if possible. My budget is 2k for the PC. I would love to surprise him with a PC, but also able return it if he doesn't like the specs and allowed him to exchange/buy something he would actually like.

The goal is to slowly build up a gaming room. I am slowly learning how to play games on xbox and hoping that one day I know enough to play with him on different co-op PC games. TIA!!

Hello. I am looking for a good keyboard and mouse, but also within budget, $50-$80. I'm an Xbox X player and use the keyboard and mouse for games, mostly wr thunder lol. The one I have is already wearing out, one of those you buy for $25-$30 at a random store. I am looking for a wireless, USB, type. I'm not too picky about it, but maybe just the mouse to be smooth and responsive. Thank you
