    I have a medium end gaming PC with 64gb of ram and a decent (aging) 5700xt. My favorite PC game right now is Hades 😎

    I like the graphics of new games, but every time I try to play one I have to agree to a 50 page privacy policy and/or create a new account. I usually just cancel that and go back to my classic games that you just open and start playing.

      Same build. Rocked CP 2077 in the day but lately it’s been Caves of Qud and Red Dead Redemption

          You’re just ahead of the curve cause my DDR3 system originally had 8GB of DDR3, later upgraded to 16GB. Skipped DDR4 entirely and went straight to 32GB of DDR5 6000 in my current system.

            Mine originally had 16GB, but with DDR4’s replacement of it, prices eventually dropped quite a bit. And I was playing a game with a really bad memory leak issue and poor optimization, so it the 32gb was actually useful.

        Can’t speak for them but did a lot of VM and container work for a Master’s, and the RAM was useful for that.

        I use docker to run a number of containers and sometimes play around with ollama.

        I certainly don’t see much activity in my swap.
