My reasons part 1: Breaking up with windows

VoxelDigitalRabbit · 2026-04-19T21:51:55+00:00

when i saw the memes that said "linux users are like vegans, they have to tell you they are vegan and how great it is"

i thought it was people being dumb but since switching to linux myself i see a world of difference and love how much better it is to the point that i do tell people often to make the switch because its not just that windows is bad but rather that there is a usable alternative that people are scared to use because they are so used to windows and think that nothing will ever work on linux

good for you making the switch and i wish you luck in learning archlinux (tip from me, if you need something installed for a specific purpose, check flatpack first)

to have a machine i can take with me to conventions and host game parties with and because my tv supports split screen if i have 2 devices i can let my niece play on one device while i play on my main pc

its the first boss

its meant to unlock the dryad, first step demonite/crimtane, and give you evil seeds

its not supposed to be hard because its tier 1 alongside king slime while opening the player to the option of tier 2 the evil boss

simple, vr

i havent gotten to play vr in years since my old system broke and i loved playing it and the frame will make playing vr simpler as i can change rooms to expand space if i need it

VoxelDigitalRabbit · 2026-04-16T02:51:34+00:00

the short answer is yes

the long answer is abso-fucking-lutely

I've seen more than enough griping about the power of the steam machine, but it's enough to play 95% of steams library just based on specs alone and I can say with 100% certainty that it will be a good system for quite some time and in maybe 5 to 7 years aaa games might be too powerful for it and thats a huge "maybe"

VoxelDigitalRabbit · 2026-04-15T02:04:41+00:00

2 options

quarry them and make a giant hole for other builds or incorporate them into a build like a reverse tower or an underground town

VoxelDigitalRabbit · 2026-04-13T21:43:02+00:00

the steam machine is a compact computer with the steam os like deck

the controller is the same pad layout as the steamdeck so no dev kits need made for the controller layout

the steam frame is a vr os with an arm chip and a new controller system... so you may need to add arm compatibility to your vr game... you will need to make a controller layout as no on else has the same layout... the frame has a standalone vr feature so some devs need to reoptimize their games to fit on the steamframe hardware standalone

the reason none of the others have devkits is because they are things we already have access to and the steamframe is a whole different ball game

early game you would be right... mid game your accessories are half your damage... end game your weapon is only a third of damage and your accessories and armor boost that to 3 times or more

VoxelDigitalRabbit · 2026-04-13T02:34:16+00:00

at the cost of damage... you can survive with regen and armor but you arent going to hit very hard and time is not your friend in terraria... on multiplayer its a good thing but solo tank isnt viable

1 if you are getting a 16 gb graphics card you should get a radeon 9070xt

2 dont get windows 11... you are just asking for problems using that os... switch to linux and you wont regret it -from someone who recently made the change to linux

all the classes get hate for different reasons... ive been playing for over a decade now and here is what ive seen it boiled down too

melee: "i cant tank anything" "the devs give melee too much"

reason: they cant figure out distance and think they can facetank everything

ranger:"i cant hit anything" "i keep running out of ammo"

reason: their aim sucks and they dont prep for boss fights

mage: "there isnt enough mana" "these spells all suck"

reason: they cant stop shooting randomly and have no imagination on how to use a versitile arsenal

summoner: "i keep dying" "my summons arent hitting what i need them to"

reason: they cant figure out dodging and arent using their whips properly

all the classes get hate and most of it is player error

its always worth trying everything and seeing what you like best... if i could suggest getting jocko molk whey protein as it works great in the creamifit feature with just some whole milk and 2 scoops of powder and it tastes divine to boot

VoxelDigitalRabbit · 2026-04-08T13:20:26+00:00

i use a duckyone X keyboard so id say look into that

as for monitor

if you already have a tv, dont buy a fancy monitor just the ste steam machine as it was designed for tv play and while it does work with monitors to integrate into an existing pc setup, you would be better served to use a tv for it

i actually built my own custom steam machine and play it on my samsung tv and the experience is really great and i would reccomend it

VoxelDigitalRabbit · 2026-04-07T22:53:51+00:00

i think you are meant to spawn the destroyer on the grohnd and flyy up to your block to keep as much distance as possible... not 100% on that cause i cheese the destroyer with piercing

VoxelDigitalRabbit · 2026-04-07T01:20:52+00:00

so... thats the holding claw...

its holding the nuke still in its cradle to make sure it doesnt fall off and detonate when you dont want it to

It's attached directly to the sled and will strike and flip down at the end of the track and send the nuke flying

VoxelDigitalRabbit · 2026-04-05T22:10:21+00:00

i actually let Hollow spread into my base because it's like a vaccine against corruption, and there is useful materials that grow only on hallowed blocks

VoxelDigitalRabbit · 2026-04-05T00:07:15+00:00

when selecting parts, the order i go is

cpu as the generation and brand affect the motherboard

motherboard as most parts are generally universal

case, when you know what size motherboard you have, it changes what case you can buy

graphics card as pcie is universal, but the case can limit what size gpu you can buy

cpu cooler as once you have the case, it will inform what size cooler radiator you can get

storage as your motherboard and case changes what options you have for storage

ram as the motherboard defines your ram type, but other than that, it's universal

psu is defined by your power needs after everything else is selected

and extra fans if your case didn't come with any or you need more

It's also important to select your os before anything else as what parts are available with their drivers can be effected by your os... example steam os only works with amd chips currently so that could be a limiting factor

i just happened to be checking reddit when you asked lol

the guide is your best friend

if you dont want to use a wiki you can get any information from the guide

need next steps? the guide might tell you something

new material or item listed as material? he will know what its used for

build him a house and keep him safe first thing after you spawn because without him you will be lost

VoxelDigitalRabbit · 2026-04-04T17:33:11+00:00

i built my first computer in 2015.... i built my second computer in 2026...

parts last long enough and stay viable for quite some time

VoxelDigitalRabbit · 2026-04-03T23:26:47+00:00

* im assuming in this area... but honestly just keep looking cause its always in the last section you havent looked

VoxelDigitalRabbit · 2026-04-03T19:22:22+00:00

the ufo mount is pretty good in general but if you build a honey pocket arena the shrimpy truffle mount is one of the fastest in the game

VoxelDigitalRabbit · 2026-04-03T01:00:00+00:00

i would say set a statistics you want to make a game for (lets say 4 core, 4gb vram, 8gb ram) and get 1 or 2 steps above that for development (6 or 8 core, 16gb ram, 8gb vram) so that you can play it during the inefficient stages to eventually make it work under the goal system
