I solely play DBD because it's the only game I can bear playing which runs on my PC. I work as a video game tester and had been doing so for years so I have access to free games from my company and companies I worked for through friends who still work there but my PC cannot run them and most of their games aren't of interest to me (although many are very popular). I really want the new bethesda game because I enjoy the brain relaxation of going through the worlds they make which are vast and low brain activity inducing. I would love to play Remnant 2 because 1 is one of the best or the best game I've ever played but my PC... :(
@SillyJester @Makan i have the impression that if I was a video game tester I'd end up hating playing videogames
It's true. You will. I'm miserable a lot of the time and resort to looking up users complaining to see if they report anything we don't know of just to get a break from playing. Testing is nothing like playing. It's snashing your head against a wall. 😅
@SillyJester it's the whole
"work with what you love...
...and you will end up loving nothing at all"
Not for me. I was too poor to play most of the time way before I started. I just have extensive background in gaming and the right personality and predispositions for it. I couldn't finish my university degree due to ADHD and being from too poor of a background to afford not working so I had to pursue a career where they'd appreciate my other skills. I was told as a child by an adult tester how it is so I knew ahead of time of it being bad, I just had no choice. I'd love to do stuff like game balancing but it's very hard to get into and there's no clear path in.
Are you eventually going to get a new PC?
I would instead get a Steam Deck and leave it at that; they can play any PC game superbly well and for less money than a new PC.
I tried building a new one but had issues. I shared a post on my prior account on . world which I've deleted since. I might repost later.
