  1. Haha...I actually went back and looked thru the Grim Dawn threads seeing if I posted builds because I couldn't remember doing it. Saw I posted a couple via Grim Calc so I assumed that was what you were referring to :D

     

    Thought about building one but after thinking on it a bit I decided to be lazy and get a pre-built one. Went an Alieware Area 51

     

    Intel i9 7980XE processor

    32 GB Quad Channel 2666Mhz RAM

    Dual GTX 1080 in SLI

    1TB SSD (Boot) and 2 TB SATA Drives

     

    Holding off on getting 4K monitors til around Xmas time. Haven't read up on them at all and the 2 27" screens I have now seem to have plenty of resolution. Did get a Logitech gaming keyboard, mostly just for the macro butons but staying with my generic logitech wireless mouse. I seem to have nothing but problems with more complicated/expensive mice. Oh and the pc will be liquid cooled - probably the biggest reason I'm not building it myself.

     

    It is a very pricey sytem and hesitate to post cost as I'm not one to boast or show off. But I have been working at same job for 20+ years and got profit-sharing in last few years along with a junior partnership so I earned this little baby :)

    @Knuckles how are you finding Rimworld? I've seen quite a bit on Twitch and it seems like a really chill game :) 

     

    I was looking forward to Unbended as well...

    Oh the game is awesome...only 'won' once and sent my colonists off the planet. If you like base/colony sims, you will love this. I think what really stands out are the colonists themselves and their relationships with others. I've had fights at weddings, people going on a pyromanic craze as a raid is occurring, manhunter packs of chinchillas (that was scary), and even two 'ladies' that would fight every time they got near each other.

     

    Then of course there are the raids, and psychic or poison ships, and a host of random events...probably the worst beng crop blight, volcanic winter and toxic fallout.

     

    Have a ton of time invested so far and haven't looked at any of the mods yet. So re-playability is very high.

  3. Yeah I haven't seen anything since D3 or Grim Dawn that has grabbed my attention. Will be getting back into GD in October when expansion hits but otherwise been playing Rimworld lately. Was really hoping Unbended would fill the void, but since that was scrapped, I don't see any potential replacements out there. So I'm curious to what Gogo and Schot may have found.

  4. Haven't seen the sun in sooooooo long, I think it's a myth :D

     

    Been since Sunday that the sun has made an appearance....just foggy, windy and rainy....just dreary weather more appropriate for late Autumn...wind has been blowing 30 mph fairly constantly since Tuesday and supposed to continue through at least Saturday. Highest gusts around here are maybe 50MPH so nothing major...rain has been sporadic, it comes through in waves/bands, so could get a heavy downpour for 20 minutes and then nothing for a couple hours. Have had a Flash Flood Watch up since late Tuesday but doubt anyone has had any issues.

     

    Hopefully Jose will move out by end of the weekend and hopefully it pulls Maria with it.

     

    I want to see the sun..dang lol
