So I have gone and bought myself a gaming laptop. After a fair while looking at specs and education myself a bit about what's out there I have decided upon the following HW to get me into the world of PC gaming. Acer Nitro 5 with the 17.3" monitor and running Intel core i7. Graphics card is the GTX1660. 16Gb Ram and 256SSD. I am hoping this should keep me going for a fair while now to be fair! I look forward to getting involved with a few other faces and embarking on my PC expansive world discovery!

Welcome!! GET VALHEIM....this is all. But really, glad to see new folks getting into it. Great time for gaming being in lockdown.

Welcome to PCMR! Lol. I still like my Playstation and Switch for various games. But, I grew up with mostly PC gaming! Love gaming laptops for their mobility. Worked well for me during my very nomadic lifestyle when I was younger (and recently when I feared getting kicked out of my game room before @TurboR56Mini started to get into gaming). What kind of games are you going to play on your laptop?

Nice one, will get you added on Steam at some point today. I came back to PC gaming around 2012, first with Civilisation 5 and then with the DayZ mod. But I was using a work laptop which allowed me about an hour an a half on DayZ before overheating and dying. I loved that mod so much I saved my pennies for a gaming machine, best move I ever made.

Name: Grand Central Location: FG Server, Home Base UPDATE: So I put a few hours in tonight, I think I made decent progress. I added a bit of style to the back, it's a half round room that has 7 (can fit 8, need a few materials) portals, only 4 in use which frees up some space and we can put another 8 upstairs. More additions include a forge bench, for our meadery. I was half thinking of mining a basement for it since we need fire and a cauldron, still thinking about that one. I 've had to dig deep to level this land out and I might hit the water table too quickly but we will see, more to come. To Do's: I'm going to be looking to fellow Vikings to help decorate. I think the sconce lighting will be good so we need 2 copper bars per. I think maybe hang some of our trophy's on the wall? Maybe some weapons? When folks play for a bit, we will need everyone to pick up everything!! Berries, weeds, shrooms, etc. All these things are needed for potions now. Also, "bee" on the look out for bee hives, we need more queens to set up more hives here at the meadery. Finally, I need our more anal-retentive or OCD folks to help with chest signage, at this point, having dedicated chests for everything is probably a must with signs.

I got given a PS5 for free last week as a belated Christmas present. Still haven’t taken it out the box - probably open it in 6 months to find its full of bricks and books😂

Might actually be able to get a ps5 by then😉

Valheim is first on the list @TurboR56Mini for sure! I will have this downloaded on Friday no questions asked. Other games on my growing steam wishlist @RenFengge include day-z, diablo 3, fallout 4 and rust. There's plenty more but I can't think off the top of my head 🙂 I look forward to joining in with you guys as soon as possible! I'll still be doing FIFA Mondays with FG and trying for Gran Turismo Tuesday as well as warzone on my playstation and football manager and several Lego games with the boy on the switch so gaming has kicked up a gear in our house 😆

That's really cool. There used to be only a few of us that played PC but that's really changed in the last year or two. There's quite a big gang now. Also, I would say pretty much all of us have every game you mentioned one way or another 😁

haha certainly! I have wanted to get into PC gaming more for the vast amount of games and the sheer amount of choice out there. I used to PC game when I was younger but mainly simulation and action games etc but lately the whole console thing has just declined in my interest with the exception of some games I play with the FG crew. Game I want to play: Valheim, Fallout, Diablo 3 (and 4 on release), sea of thieves, rust, day-z and a steam wishlist thats growing by the day. There are also some games like horizon 4 etc but I want so decent open world strategy type games to play on a night now. Games where I can feel progression and work for status etc. **Edit** removed spec to post in HW section 🙂 It should be delivered this week so I can get rolling on the weekend, plus its payday Friday for extras!

What made you decide to try PC? Any games in particular you have in mind to play? Answer these questions and tell us about your laptop and its specs in the hardware section🤗

I just bought myself a gaming laptop so will be trying to get more involved in the PC world woohoo! Steam ID is G_dub52 add me if you wish 🙂

I was wondering what was going on about the league last week. It probably isn’t worth the effort but still think you should do it 😆 Though if you do it and there’s anything I can do to help out, just let me know.

Much debate? Slag that. You mean me explaining how they actually work? Then, everyone else realizing it... but you needing @FallenDark200 to reiterate what I said for you to get it? Lolz. Love ya! (P.S. FGers, our "quips" at each other are all in good fun haha)

@phil bottle, @GazzaGarratt Well thanks for the feedback and kind words, I will take more in progress shots going forward. We will have at least 12 portals in this building. Can certainly fit double if we wanted to. My thought was having another hub somewhere. Like when we get to another continent. Think train station or airport. We can pick 12 locations of importance here, with a 13th leading to another station. These hubs would just be a leg in a connecting "flight". Will be better than traveling across oceans everytime! Although the dock you two were working on is going to make that first voyage special!!!
