I'm a few hours in so far, and it seems like a fairly well thought out management game in the vein of Thea: The Awakening or similar. The graphics are fairly static, but it's surprising how easily you can get attached to a character that just has a name and portrait.

My only gripe so far is that it's hard - real hard. The difficulty seems to spike on Normal around the 4th age or so, and your crafting slaves workers get bogged down in all the prerequisite items you need to make good stuff. There's also a tendency to concentrate all military training on a few people, and while they become fairly overpowered, the amount of enemies the game throws at you later on means that any regular old woodcutters or other assorted peasantry get rolled pretty fast.

Has anyone else tried it out?

What @dgtlty is saying is that any modern power supply will work for motherboards these days, just pick one that has a good rating (and the wattage you need, of course) from your supplier of choice.

I have Dark Souls III. It's ok.

Depends on what else you want to do with it, I guess.

I love Macs and OSX, but in my experience they're a hassle to get working with Windows sometimes. There will be some edge cases you'll run into where shit's broke, even if Boot Camp / Parallels works flawlessly the other 99% of the time. Add the X factor of an external GPU in (I didn't realize those were that popular?), and there's a recipe for a headache or two in there.

If most of what you want to do is to just play games, I'd recommend buying a regular PC and spending the Apple tax you'll save on a sweet monitor. If you're interested in getting a Mac for other reasons, then they're really nice.

Things got kinda freaky when the God Hand came out, but everything's cool now that I sacrificed my best friend and his GF to join them.

Nah it just got kinda dark and then bright again.

@t-dot1992:I'm not fluent in Japanese by any means, but I've been studying it for a while now, so I can at least tell that your letter sounds kind of off. For instance:

私はあなたのゲームの巨大なファンです。

"あなた" ("you", as in "hey you over there") is kind of too direct for a letter AFAIK, even a little rude maybe. This is one of the areas where Google Translate kinda falls apart, because politeness in English is mostly contextual, where in Japanese you actually use different forms of words. Google doesn't really do that well.

If you really want to go down this translation rabbit hole, maybe try Lang-8 or HelloTalk. They're both (free) services that let native speakers correct what you write. If you explain what you want and don't dump the whole letter on them all at once, you'll probably find one or two people who'd be happy to help.

I'll just leave this here: https://paeantosmac.wordpress.com/

Alpha Centauri is a damn good game, and most of that comes from the writing. I don't know what nerve stapling is, but it sure as hell sounds like the atrocity the AI labels it as.

I just submitted my own project, OSAKA DANCE PANIC: https://soylent.itch.io/osaka-dance-panic
