@riserise I guess alternatively, in a roundabout way, I’m asking “how much would I need for a PC to play Skyrim content mods”. I saw price ranges in the $800-1300 range and shat myself IN. REAL. TIME. JK, but seriously, PC gaming has always seemed like a rich man’s hobby.
@RehnSturm256 @riserise it's because you're meant to get a gaming pc as a way to do multiple things with it. It doesn't JUST game, you can do a lot more and you theoretically have a lot more freedom with the games. If you're playing online, that extra $300 will make itself up within a few years anyway too.
@RehnSturm256 @riserise emulation, mods, sailing the seven seas, all easier and better on PC :) once you get into multiple monitors and shit too it's so nice to just have everything running off of one box.
It is easily worth it when you start doing some calculus about how many hours you will use the same PC during those five years. I bet everyone here uses their PC averaging at least an hour a day, so for example a thousand euros (expensive PC) is around 0.55 euros per hour (1000/(365*5)=0.55). I for one can't name many hobbies which such a hourly price. And that's with "just" a hour per day average usage.
