Amazing, thanks so much, this is all very helpful!
That all makes a lot of sense, and I've been checking out eBay to see what's about. Looks like there's some decent stuff there, an i5 NUC with 8gb of ram and a 2 bay QNAP NAS for around $350 AUD. I'll do a bit more research into what I actually need, but you've given me a great place to start, so thanks again!
And I'll definitely look into 3-2-1 backup when I start storing actual data that I'd be sad to lose.
Thank you! And what's the benefit of running the NUC + NAS instead of just installing the Plex server/whatever else directly on the NAS?
The NAS seems to be the pricey part. Are there cheaper pure storage solutions, short of building a new PC with a bunch of space for HDDs?
Sorry for all the questions!
If I were to buy a NUC, would it still be worth buying the Nvidia shield for streaming purposes, or do I just run everything off the NUC? I'm not the OP but in a similar situation.
Been thinking of picking up MH:R so maybe now is the time.
You're right, if you have the PC to play certain games on then the experience is definitely better, but it's still good to be able to play on the go, or, in my case, I have a 6 week old daughter and I can play the deck while she sleeps in my arms!
Oh I actually own this but never got round to playing it, thanks for the reminder!
Hi all, with the Steam sale on I'm looking for new things to play on the deck.
I can kick it off with a few recommendations of my own that I've been playing, even if they aren't new games:
Outer Wilds - Amazing exploration game that is best played without looking at any guides etc. I use the 40hz option to play and it runs great, not dropping below 40fps.
Hades - You've probably heard of this one! Runs perfectly on the deck, easy to just pick up and attempt a run.
TUNIC - A charming RPG in the vein of the old Zelda games, this one is unique in that you find pages of the 'Instruction Manual', which you'll need to read to help you figure out puzzles within the game. It's awesome, would highly recommend on the deck!
Let me know what you're all playing so I can grab some bargains!
Anyone have experience with the Australian servers? I moved from the UK to Aus a few years ago and honestly playing online games has really been the only downside!
