No im just lonely and dont like online games that much compared to in person.

 

Not sure if this goes her because im new to lemmy, but i have a snapdragon plus laptop, 16 ram, no gpu, i got this laptop recently when it was on sale for portability and because chromebooks are bad.

I want to get into gamedev and explore both 2d and 3d but im unsure what to try with my laptop as a newcomer not knowing much?

What would you suggest and why so? i need the simplest of the simple.

I would play more rpgs on tha table but i havent had a real group in a while nor do i know anyone willing to play, ive looked but no luck.

I really like games with replayiblity such as roguelikes, open world rpgs like skyrim for example, but i have so many hard roguelikes that ive grown sorta sick of them and i can never usually beat them.

Im trying to explore more types of games but havent really done so.

Mostly dell optiplex desktops with ddr3 from the windows 7 era. Or whatever neat looking device i could find.

I have a mix of eras of computer ranging from ddr to ddr3. most of what i have is from the windows 7 era, my "collection" mostly contains dell OptiPlex's or whatever looks neat.

Ive heard you can do alot with a dell OptiPlex but i want to make a nas but im unsure how well it would be to store personal files with?

Thanks you for the info! also i will leave this here for now because idk where else it goes or if it should be taken down?

 

Over the past few years ive gotten desktops from various smaller thrift stores but not i feel like i have too many and im not sure what to so with them? Do i save them and turn them into a bugger project? Do i make a nas out of one of them? Im stumped theres so many things to do with a pc that i dont know where to start, or if this is even the right place to post in?

I pretty much saved theses from e-waste and scalpers but most of the machines are devices nobody wants or has a issue.

 

Not sure if this goes here but i have a steam giftcard, but i also like free stuff for example piracy even if i barley do so and dont know much about it.

Its only 20 bucks but im not sure what its worth putting into.

Should i just get like a steam deck or something with a mix of my money and the gift card?

What would you advise?

 

I get there are still users but it feel empty at times compared "other" platforms.

Why isint lemmy more popular?
