Why is a bear walking around with $40? Where does he keep it? Is the bear wearing pants?
In my last post, I was asking for your guys favorite game with character progression. Alot of you answered, that Kingdom death monsters is the best game for that.
I heard about that game before and also checked the price for it. The price is 400$ for the core game (1.6 version) from their website. On kickstarter the price was something around 250$, which also seems very pricey for me?
I played gloomhaven and I loved it and I think gloomhaven has alot of value for around 100$. I don't see, why kingdom death monsters should be worth 2,5x - 4x of gloomhavens price? And also, there is so much expansions for KDM. Are any of this needed? This all seems so pricey to me? I don't need a miniature for every enemy.
What I really enjoy is having a progression for my own character, getting new skills, new items and the feeling of getting stronger.
I have the feeling, that this game has these elements and propably is really good. But I don't see, why I should pay 400$ (or even 250$ on KS) for a base game, when I could use that money to buy like 4 games that might have the same elements but just a little bit less minis? It seems, that the price is high because of the minis and not because of the amount of fame components? Games like middara also have alot of minis, alot of cards and a big expansion book. But the price is like 1/3 of that.
TLDR
I am new to PC building, but I want a very good one that will last a while. My custom prebuilt build is linked below. Is it good? Is it bad? Am I stupid? Is this the wrong place to post this? Hold no punches.
Backstory
I've never had my own desktop PC, I've basically always bought laptops because it made sense for my highschool/college life. My most recent computer is a Legion Y730 laptop (GeForce 1050ti, i7-8750H). This laptop just fell out of its three year warranty, and I'm having trouble playing the new games I want to at even the lowest graphics settings. I'm pretty certain that Elden Ring is going to be unplayable on this. So, I need a new computer.
I don't want to keep buying laptops, since I'm not moving around much and it's becoming obvious that I'm just replacing an entire machine every few years, which is pretty wasteful, and I want to play some more modern games. All signs point towards it being time to build a PC.
Given the apparent GPU situation, it's looking like the best way to do that is through prebuilts, which works out well since I don't have an old PC to strip parts out of anyway, and I don't know much about building PCs in the first place. But even better, some sites have ways to custom make a prebuilt (which is a funny sentence).
My Build
I went to NZXT and used their custom builder to throw this together: https://imgur.com/a/UNGzgGO.
Motivation
- I want something that is very good now and will still be very good 5+ years from now. Obviously, nothing is truly future proof, but I'd like to kick the can as far down the road as possible. Currently, I'm more interested in using computers than building/tweaking them (of course, that could change now that I'm investing in an actual PC)
- Money isn't a huge object. I don't want to needlessly waste it of course, but I have more of a r/BuyItForLife type attitude.
- I'd like my case to be simple, small as possible, white, and without RGBs (if they're there nbd I'll just turn them off).
- Besides playing games, I also do some game dev, 3d modeling, and programming
- I have a 3440x1440 144hz monitor that I'd really like to play some pretty games like Death Stranding or Microsoft Flight Sim on :)
Concerns/Questions
- Is the CPU/GPU combo overkill as a long term purchase? I would like to play some very beautiful games right now, and we don't know when GPUs will be affordable again. But maybe I can't expect them to last very long? Maybe t

i'm used to zuums occasionally asking for sweets and the rare pixie run that wants tea ( I aborted that run)
The grandma knows how to cast the magic material but the granddaughter doesn't (I think?). The grandma has to go on a dangerous journey... It turns out her husband was turned into a monster and she hides him in the pantry, at the end of the story, she unleashes him to and save herself from the antagonist. (Either the tax collector, a maybe a newly introduced villain; I can't remember, unfortunately.)
If you find an optimized route, you can finish with 1:20 left. If you go there right after you wake up then you can consistently do it up to 7 times in a day.

Doesn’t seem to matter if I’m 1st place for damage or in the middle. It’s a loss of silver for me every time pretty much. Anyone else? Is this just the way the monster mash is? ‘Train your crew faster but lose silver’?
I moved back over to normal mode after a few games. Not trying to go bankrupt playing a holiday game mode.
I know humanoid monsters give you gold when you kill them, but in future updates will you make it too where all monsters drop gold, higher lvl monsters drop more etc. it would make it too where your not limited too one source of farming. It’s been a while since I’ve played so if there was changes let me know :)
The new This Had Oscar Buzz episode for Money Monster came into my feed and I had a brief flashback to Griffin saying that the script was originally written by a college student and their professor stole it. Did I make this up?
