I thought it would be fun for my wife to try Valheim with my mates as her first PC game. Shes since taken over my PC and ive been relegated to my handheld and a chair from the kitchen. She even plays with my mates on her day off while I work. This has been the norm for months now. I have truly been cucked. Please send your condolences
If anyone wants to use my wife to play games with on my computer just let me know as long as I can watch and hold her hand while she plays
No man, you can play with us! Me and your wife go adventuring and you can follow us with a cart to carry the materials
Gonna be hard to WASD and mouse holding your hand, friend. Maybe get used to just watching, no interacting.
Pour one out for our brother in arms whose wife just gave him permission to build a second gaming PC ;)
Not in this economy. Ram alone will require a second mortgage.
Buy a used Optiplex.
Gets you an acceptable case, mobo, CPU, RAM, and probably SSD for about $200. Add a used 3050/3060/4060 GPU and an upgraded PSU.
It’s not gonna knock your socks off, but it gets you going without over-spending and you can carry some of that forward when you upgrade later.
i was going to recommend this; a couple that loves doing something together is bound to be much more rewarding than the cost of one of these machines.
May I suggest an AMD card instead? Even on the second market, they’re typically better bang-for-buck
You absolutely may. Intel is valid too.
Aye. Time for a dock and a second monitor.
Play with her! If you’ve got a Steam Deck as the handheld, Valheim runs well on it and can multiplayer too.
Pretty sure that’s what OP is doing, as they mention the Deck along with a kitchen chair.
Thats what I did. Put it on a dock on the tv and attached a wireless keyboard and mouse too. Good to go.
looks like a legion, not a deck
Honest question? Should I buy valhall while it’s on sale or wait for it to be closer to done
I got Valheim before they added the mistlands and it was still a more complete and full game than anything a AAA studio has made this decade. Grab it on sale, get your friends, your family, your pets a copy. Frankly, comming from someone who will pirate everything, I will gladly pay full price a second time for the quality of work they’ve put in.
Playing it with my friends was one of the things that kept me sane during lockdown. It’s an incredible game. Decently fun single player too, but it really shines when playing with other people.
I really liked mining and foraging, so I’d go out and build super barebones outposts in various biomes, occasionally bringing back a heckton of ore for new weapons and tools. I also liked being the first one to get dibs on a new pickaxe when the new tier of tools was unlocked
Same! For me it was the outposts and buildings. By the time we stopped playing I’d paved half our discovered area with roads, built way stations so you could sleep while traveling, and had a base and dock on every important island or biome.
My crowning achievement was called The Sky Vault. I’d lifted 4 pillars to the maximum terrain hight on a tiny plains island, then built a building supported by them that could only be accessed via portal. There I had a long table and thrones for each of us and a collection of all the treasures, cool trophies, and artifacts from out time in play. Covered the room in piles of gold, little chests, cool weapons that we didn’t end up using. The finishing touch was that the gate to our settlement stood between two of the pillars, so you got to walk under it get into the town.
Yeah just get it now! The map is randomly generated but the new biome updates populate in the undiscovered areas of your own game. Once the game is full released you can just pick up where you last left.
Its a very complete game and great value
It’s worth now. The release version was already worth the price, and it’s only gotten better since then.
I bought it ages ago and am now waiting for it to be done before I pick it back up again. But I’m getting the urge to pick it back up anyway, sailing out into a storm to go serpent hunting is such a vibe!
Yes, I bought it 4 years ago and haven’t stopped playing it. SkAAL brutentogen
Better make her a sandwich while you’re out there.
Better reassert dominance, get her to craft a sandwich in the game
F
Is the desktop Linux too? Because if not then really she’s the one getting cucked.
OP isn’t using a Steam Deck.
