Turns out that guy was a scammer, but I'll keep my eyes out for more deals similar to what we discussed! Thank you again for all of your help!

Okay great! That's good to hear. I reached out to them to say I was interested. I can upgrade that platform at a later date if needed, right? But it should last me a while.

No need to apologize, this was very helpful! Someone near me is selling a PC with the following specs.: "NVIDIA GeForce 4060 Ti - 16 Gb ram- 2tb Ssd - AMD Ryzen 7 5700 comes with 2 165 hz monitors , audio technica mic , mouse and key board and headphones ." For $650, it seems like a good deal. Would you agree with that?

Okay will do. Thank you!

Thank you! I almost exclusively play single player games. Some recent favorites were Elden Ring, Lies of P, Super Mario Wonder, and Super Smash Bros. Ultimate. How intensive is Nintendo Switch emulation? I imagine it's taxing on the machine but I'm not sure how intensive to get decent performance.

Yes that's a good point, I guess I was looking for minimums to set my expectations. With the $1500 someone mentioned, that is way more than a few hundred that you mention so that discrepancy is where I get a bit lost. When you say "and more", what is the more that I am getting?

I think 60fps would be fine, but like I said I can always upgrade later to include VR as there is no immediacy. When you say huge difference, I assume you mean huge price difference between those correct?

At minimum, I would like it to be at least as good as my current gaming ecosystems on consoles are, which I imagine is fairly cheap. However, I am willing to go higher to future proof myself as I don't want to spend $500+ each year just to keep top of the line parts in the system. Someone mentioned around $1500 which seems reasonable at this time, especially because I plan to sell off my existing consoles and games to help offset the cost.

I was considering Linux but I don't think I'd use it daily for gaming. I am interested in using Playnite which I believe is Windows only for my main games launcher.

I think that budget sounds reasonable. What does that extra amount get me if the entry level is already playing most games?

I think this is just funny, regardless of sexual orientation.

To me it does not seem very similar to a 3D platformer, but more akin to the GBA top down Zelda games. The addition of what looks like a standard jump is pretty reminiscent of the jump mechanic item you can unlock in those games, keeping the platforming pretty basic. The copy/paste ability they are showing off with the wand looks really intriguing, but from what I can tell that seems to be the only big departure from something like Link's Awakening. Still looks interesting to me, and cool to see the ability to play as Zelda!

In what ways is it like Super Mario 64?
