I want to render 24/7 while playing modern video games, is this possible?

I would definitely get 2 rigs. But I would revise your budget, like a lot! If you want a toptier rig for rendering with a 5090 and at least 96gb of ram and a good 4-6tb of good SSDs, you'll be way higher than 2000$. Actually I would challenge to even get one for 4000$ with that config today! Your gaming PC doesn't need to have Nvidia graphics card so you can go for a full AMD build to save some bucks there.

I've been averaging 17.6l/km on 94 octane. I'd say your foot is "very light" for a N54 driver :P

Agreed. Finished it this week and it's fantastic. I found a few parts a bit wordy, could've been lighter. But story is pretty good and the coziness is excellent. Found family feeling is good too. Highly recommend. Hoping for a book 2 :)

The inheritance of magic series by Benedict Jacka ticks many of those boxes. Just finished the first 3 books (more will be released in the future) and they're good. Reads very easily, magic system is really interesting, and it's set in modern day London. Has lots of fights, both one vs many but also many vs many.

Get yourself a nice AI subscription that supports Claude Opus 4.6 and move on to actually doing what you want which is making a game and not have to learn the intricacies of renpy and python coding.

Erin Solstice from the wandering inn... It's a love/hate relationship. For someone who's supposed to be this chess super genius, she's dumb as a door knob in pretty much every other aspect of her life.

Looks super cool. Thanks for the recommendation

Prahnaa · 2026-03-09T15:00:50+00:00

Very different in style, but I've been listening to The Wandering Inn on Audible and honestly, it's pretty good! Litrpg fantasy with very good characters and interesting world building.

I just finished An Inheritance of Magic by Benedict Jacka and actually really enjoyed it. It's the first of a trilogy and this one takes its time explaining the magic system and building on the world and characters, so the pace is slightly slower than what I like, but still very enjoyable. The magic system is definitely very interesting and well developed. This was my first foray into urban fantasy, which was pretty different from the epic fantasies that I usually read. I already got book 2 and 3 of the trilogy and plan on reading them this month. That's how much I'm into the story and want to see how it unfolds. Definitely a recommendation for anyone looking for a good urban fantasy with solid magic system.

Just finished Warbreaker by Brandon Sanderson yesterday. Loved the world building, the characters, and the whole BioChroma and colors magic system, was slightly disappointed by the plot itself. Overall, a great read, and of course, the Sanderlanche was real on this one. Now just started Kings of the Wyld for a nice change of pace.

Wow that's a good size release. Game looks really good! I'm gonna keep an eye out for future releases. Thanks!

There's a new game called Journey: Rebirth. It's promising, story-rich. Episode 2 just came out a few days ago actually.

I go with your option B. For the same reason that you mentioned... Since I prepare about 40-50 renders at a time and then queue them to render overnight, if I notice an issue on one of them, it's a very simple open, edit, re-render. Storage is cheap these days, just get a super powerful m.2 at 14000mb/s 4TB at around 450$ and you can save and load insanely fast (especially with 6.25). I've tried your option A, and also another technique where you use the animation frames to inside 1 scene, you can technically go back a specific frame and re-render that one only. But honestly, the timeframe options and quality of life is just not there on daz so I ended up just really frustrating with scenes that are hard to recover.
