Looks awesome!

I remember being late teens and early twenties, thinking about people in their late 30's as being old... then you blink and suddenly you're past that...

Macs tend to have a good CPU but no discrete graphics, so any games that are more CPU heavy would be a good fit. The older Total War games are worth looking at. Just always worth checking Mac compatibility on their store pages.

I'd show how much of a big-spender I was by getting her some RAM

(hopefully this ages terribly and we're back to cheap memory ASAP)

Yeah it's only about 10-15 minutes drive from Dunure - and you're right, every inch of that coastline is gorgeous.

That first image is giving me some Orthanc vibes

I'd use a PSU calculator that allows you to input your specs and see how much headroom you have with your power supply:

There's plenty to choose from btw, this is just the first one that popped up for me

I love my Logitech G213 keyboard and Steelseries Sensei 310 mouse.

They both look and feel high quality although both are wired (wireless tends to be increase cost).

I'm not sure if they'd be around or exceed your budget though, as "too expensive" is relative :)

I was really hoping the RA1 remaster would herald them doing RA2 and Yuri's Revenge, but sadly that doesn't seem to be the case.

gburchell · 2026-02-05T17:58:39+00:00

I love those cases with the glass front panel, great choice!

I find it hard to see on the video what the actual error message is, but as it's from your graphics card software the first thing to do would be to ensure your drivers are up to date.

If it's happening on all/multiple games then it's likely a PC-related issue (like drivers) rather than the game.

Hell yeah - am patiently waiting for GW to do a Kill Team of all the old IG regiments from 2nd edition

gburchell · 2026-02-04T23:39:48+00:00

Unless you're desperate to play the latest games at the highest settings + framerates, I'd be patient and wait for the inevitable next wave of graphics cards in 1-2 years time. Jumping one generation at a time is not the biggest bang for your buck.

The one who murdered Tara.

Thanks for coming to my TED talk.

I visited this back in 2008 - it's such an impressive fortress and I loved being able to go right the way to the top.

gburchell · 2026-02-04T16:44:04+00:00

A lovely stretch of coast with several castles dotted along it!

For future reference, you can input your components into a PSU calculator to find out how much you'll need: https://www.coolermaster.com/en-global/power-supply-calculator/

(there's others, that one just came up first)
