I use backblaze too, started with the personal back up, but swapped to the B2 solution as it was supported by my NAS. The cost of the actual storage isn’t much, most of the cost is in access, so for data that doesn’t alter much it worked out just as cheap, and easier to do things that way.

The wife and I are currently playing through Tiny Tina’s Wonderlands. Tina has been making us laugh for years now, there’s something about Ashley Birch’s deliveries that just works. Quite a lot of the lines given to the PCs to say randomly as your are fighting are great too. Always hardest with a game that is meant to be funny, but they pull it off.

This is the Star Wars “parsecs” situation all over again!

I’d go down the route of so called ‘Walking Simulators’* though I use the term First Person Experiances, such as Dear Esther, Gone Home or maybe even Firewatch. Games were you can take you time and practice the feeling of movement. From there if you are looking to get into shooter style games go for something Co-Op. My wife and I started on Time-Splitters where she basically stayed back as a sniper whilst I ran in. (This was back in 98/99) From there we ended up going through Halo, Gears and eventually Borderlands as they came out. Anything where you have a bleed out / respawn mechanic is great.

*For me a walking simulator would be more like Octodad where you actually have to work at the walking! :D

Probably not quite what you meant but two monitors for Dwarf Fortress is a god send. Game on one screen, the other for DFHack console, Announcements, SoundSense, Dward Therapist, and various other utils. Could probably use 3 actually…

Could it be that there is no real ‘catchment’ area in Cities so the school has students from all over the city and so their families travel to watch their kids?

It’s pretty dead for the main part, at least for discussions, but there does appear to have been an uptick in posts the past month or so.

I had the same issue with NVMe, but you can get 4x PCI-E cards to install them on. Wouldn’t work as a boot drive but it’s great for a games installation space. Just check installing another card doesn’t drop your GFX from the 16x. My old ASUS Gene V had two 16x style slots and an extra 4x so I could manage to add one card without dropping the GFX to 8x.

My XBOX has the internal 1TB then 4TB of USB3 storage for 360/XBOX One games (or Series games I’m not currently playing). Main PC is 500GB SSD Raid 0 System drive, 1TB NVMe data drive and a 6TB HDD Storage Space. Then my NAS has 20TB (RAID 5) of space for everything else. (Including a full set of install files of any games I bought via GoG since you can keep their DRM free install files just in case GoG suddenly disappear)
