    It was a somewhat faster paced version of Mechwarrior Online, with smaller maps, almost no customization, and everything was effectively locked behind microtransactions. Oh, and most of the purchased stuff was still time limited. (would go away in a day/week/month) It also liked to put all the free players on one team, and all the paying players on the other, so the paying people always won. (it was completely pay2win)

  2. I just bought 3 of the 7 pieces for my new PC... Case, (Antec P5) PSU, (Rosewill Capstone 750w) and a nice mid-grade NVMe drive. (1TB HP EX900) I also have received my monitor, an MSI Optix MAG241C.

  3. Currently saving to build myself a new gaming system. Will be buying the monitor tomorrow. (monitor first because it'll be less stressful on my eyes than the cheap laptop display I'm using now, despite it being complete overkill for what my laptop can do for gaming)

     

    Monitor: MSI Optix MAG241Chttps://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16824475017 - $204 ($194 after $10 rebate)

    PSU: Rosewill Glacier Series 700Whttps://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817182341 - $60

    Motherboard: GIGABYTE B450M DS3Hhttps://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813145083 - $68

    CPU: AMD Ryzen 5 2400Ghttps://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16819113480 - $150

    NVMe: ADATA XPG SX6000 Lite 512GB https://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820246011 - $70

    GPU: GIGABYTE GeForce RTX 2080 Tihttps://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814932079 - $1150 (to be purchased a couple of months after the rest of the system)

     

    Under $850 for the initial system, and under $2000 for the final build. The initial system is about 5x better than the 7 year old laptop I'm using now, and will definitely hold me over until I can get the RTX. At that point, I will be hard pressed to find a game that will ever drop below 60FPS at any settings.

     

    [EDIT] Added the NVMe drive. It isn't mandatory, but save me a LOT of time and effort to have, plus it's worth the price for the extra performance over what I was going to use. (a Mushkin Enhanced ECO2 512GB SSD)

  4. Yeah, I also am saddened by Google Docs being online-only, though I do understand why it has to be that way.

     

    I would've suggested Fedora as well, but I never could find after my first install almost 5 years ago the installer from RPMFusion that allowed for native Debian package installation. (RPM and DEB packages native, the best of everything)

     

    The regular versions of Mint are based off of Ubuntu, but LMDE is based off Debian itself, and has a significant performance boost because of it. Part of why I recommended it for that old of a system. ;)
