    Yeah, like DNU said, something more grindy. Or something difficult. So more like PoE where you can play thousands of hours without seeing everything or knowing everything. Or like Black Desert Online with its afk mechanics. Or a game with a lot rng like dwarf fortress or rimworld.

    Or speedrunning stuff. But some kind of idle… 😅 indeed unexpected.

    Well maybe it is because said games are my timesinks… Even though I haven’t played any game as long as he/she did.





  • 😄 there are a few:

    • Celeste -> great platformer. Maybe the best I ever played.

    • Tiny Thor -> another good platformer

    • Sea of Stars -> I have some mixed feelings about this. All in all a good game. The visuals are fantastic. The story is ok (so far), the music is very cool. The battle is good but to be honest, for a round based combat system it has to be compared with games like final fantasy and it is much much flatter. Once you got the basics, no suprises will be left. And this is a pity. I expected the battle system to be the heart of the game… But it seems like the visuals are. 🤔 As I said, good all in all, but not as expected.

    • Brotato: This could be my game of the year 2023. Awesome game loop. Nice for a “short” round inbetween…

    • Cosmoteer: Awesome game if one likes to build stuff and management aspects in games. But not as easy as it seems first.

    • Ember Knights: great co-op rouge lite. Played it when it was in early access and it was great already. I should take a look into it, now it is finaly released.


  • I almost never finish any game because I am sick of quests and (modern) stories or the way they are told in general. Because of that, I mostly play games without a definitiv ending. But my last “story” ending was Diablo 4 and I haven’t liked it. It can hardly be caled an ending… Moreover I was happy that I finaly finished the story, so I was able to see what the game will be after it… It was also pretty disappointing. So I started another char in PoE again 😃

    Before this I guess it was “It takes two” and it was great.

    I have something to read for you :

    My Request

    It is a request of me from earlier this year. The boards I mention in the opening post are no good choice. But the Asrock J500x or J5040 (the one I picked in the end) are. For my needs it is enough of everything. Even if some users here think the celerons are “heaters that can do math” ^^

    On the other hand, the cpu is soldered to the board. No upgrade without switching the board either… Even the SODIMM ram needs to be replaced when switching away from an itx-board…

    On the other hand, it is less energy consuming than using an old desktop cpu etc.

    The pico-psu is just sweet 😊

    Edit: fixed link





  • At the moment I do exactly that. Learn proxmox, omv, influxDB and tomorrow grafana comes around to play 😉

    Nevertheless proxmox and omv are the difficult ones if you never used a hypervisor before. And my toughest lesson was: software raid is pretty slow. This took quiet some time to realise that this was the problem.

    But it is great to have a hypervisor to play around with, test different things in containers or vms and if you mess things up, just spin up another in a few seconds and try it again. It just feels less impactfull than reinstalling all stuff on one machine.

    And you learn a lot about networks along the way if you aren’t already familliar with it.




  • Thank you for your answer. the picoPSU is the next point that causes headaches. I have two questions about the pico.

    How to calculate how much energy is needed without knowing how much the board needs? My actual HDDs and planed parts are:

    • 2x 6TB WD Red WD60EFAX -> and I found the use 5.3W under load what means even with four of them they only need 21,2W
    • a NVME like the WD Blue SN570 with max consumption of 3,75W
    • a fan (maybe an be quiet! Silent Wings 4 PWM 120mm) for the case with round about 4W by max Speed sums up to 27,95W But the information about the power consumption for the board is missing.

    It seems like a 80 watts picoPSU should be sufficent. What I don’t understand is, how can I supply the power with this psu when it is a 24-pin ATX but the board needs only 4-Pin-ATX?
