Thanks for the explanations. I’m not computer-savvy, so those are useful. I must have a laptop because I move a lot and must carry the thing. I can’t afford to have multiple computers, so I need one that does everything and is portable. I have no intention of assembling the parts nor any need for that knowledge beyond this moment. That would be like learning a language just to have a 20-minute conversation and never use the language again.
I did some investigating based on your and others’ advice, and I think I found one I like. It doesn’t have lots of unnecessary gimmicks like a touchscreen and is cheaper. I mostly use my computer for Microsoft Office and Youtube, and when I play games, I don’t play very graphically intense ones (Crusader Kings, Rimworld, Dwarf Fortress). My computer hasn’t been able to handle AAA games since 2013, but I never play those anyway, so that didn’t bother me. Bannerlord is the first game I wanted to play but couldn’t.
What do you think of the computer I selected? Is it a good purchase based on my needs?
I am uncertain where to put a message like this. I used to type them in the shoutbox, but perhaps a thread is better.
Anyway, I found a game called “Songs of the Eons” that fellow Thrive enthusiasts might enjoy. At the moment it is barely a tech demo, but its ambitions are laudable. It is meant to be a civilization simulator with detailed aspects such as ecology, economics, and technological regression. I have no doubt that the game’s scope will be drastically reduced as it is developed, but the developers might have some interesting ideas along the way.
Will Thrive ever be complete? Will there ever be a time when there are no more endless threads asking for the most random things to be added to the game?
