  • For the King (and coming soon, For the King 2) has been a go-to coop game with one of my buddies. It’s a turn based, low poly dnd-esque game with a handful of different campaigns. FTK 1 has 3 character parties, so one of us will just play 2 characters, but otherwise it’s pretty perfect for 2 people.





  • I highly recommend PC Partpicker for compiling all your components (although I don’t typically follow the listed purchase links). The comparability checker it has can save some real headaches!

    Otherwise, some general advice:

    1. Remember the motherboard standoff screws. Most cases these days have them pre-installed, but my first rig did not. And I bent the mobo a little bit before realizing my mistake. It still worked in the end, but it’s now my #1 cautionary tale about PC Building.

    2. Do yourself a favor, and make an attempt at proper cable management. It’ll make replacing components so much easier down the line.

    3. Get a fully modular PSU (if in your budget). This will help with #2 above immensely.

    4. Read the manual that comes with your motherboard. It usually has a lot of guidance for assembling the computer, especially if this is your first time.

    5. Have fun! PC Building/Gaming is one of my favorite hobbies, and I’m always glad to see new people getting interested in it!

    Good luck, and don’t be afraid to ask questions!


  • So far everything is just a case of getting used to it for me. I’m using the Jerboa app, and the two biggest improvements I can see right now are 1) allowing me to change the default sort (top, new, active, etc.). I can change it every time I open the app, but I’d like to be able to set it and forget it and 2) I’m not a huge fan of pinned posts staying at the top of my feed no matter how I’m sorting it, although this would also be solved by hiding already read posts, I suppose.
