Lol. I actually liked the Uncharted series, but realize it isn't everyone's cup of tea. 4 was probably the best in the series.

I enjoyed the entire series. I’m not too hyped for the show.

If you have the old Xbox and Ultimate then there are a lot of new games that are free on there now. Just downloaded Madden 22 for free. Stopped buying those games a long time ago but figured I would try it out since it was free on the old Xbox.

Kinda related. I just built a new PC, minus a GPU because prices are stupid right now. Been on a MB Pro forever. Didn't build with the intent of gaming...just dev work, photography and some video editing was the primary purpose outside the day to day stuff.
Started playing Forza Horizon 4 and I can get around 60fps at 1080p on medium settings with the integrated chip graphics. Having fun with it so far. Will probably add a GPU when prices drop. I may be hooked despite swearing off PC gaming for over a decade.

I'm not really sure yet. Nothing extreme. As long as I can run most things at 60fps, 1440p on high settings I'll be happy. I don't want to pay 2x msrp though. God damn crypto miners...

One pair on Amazon for 1650 each, so about 3300$.
Then a pair from Walmart at about 1800$ each, so about 3600$.
All in around 7k for all 4 before taxes.
Coincidentally, I had to stop writing this post and go downstairs because the 3rd of the 4 of them arrived and my doorbell rang lol.
1 more to go and I'll have all 4 of my starting GPUs, I think last one will arrive on Monday.
The fucking board is coming from China tho, so ill be stuck waiting a couple weeks to finish the build.
Might be the first time the board/PSU is the last thing I install lol

Serious question - how long does it typically take to break even after the hardware costs / power consumption etc?

Well this is my first one, but if my numbers are correct I should break even on the original build in 8-12 months.
But I'm mining crypto... what I mine today might be worth 10% or 1000% of what it was worth when I mined it.
So, my best guess is 8-12 months.

A tiny amount.... you'd be better served having your 3070 mine for you while you aren't using it to game.
Either way you'd mine a pitiful amount, but it might be worth something in a few years.
If you understand what crypto IS, then you understand the mining.... the mining is just the processing of transactions of a given cryptocurrency.
If you don't understand what cryptocurrency is, for the love of God, do not ask me to explain further lol.

i was joking.
I know what crypto is(sort of) but i dont get the whole mining thing. My whole PC setup creates enough heat. I imagine mining would melt my room

I don't know much about it either, but here is my VERY basic understanding of it...
- Get a wallet
- Buy a bunch of GPUs
- Install some mining software and configure it. Figure out what pool you want to mine. Etherium seems to be popular these days.
- Run that shit all day and use a bunch of power depending on the configuration
- ???
- Sell your coins for actual money.
- Profit, hopefully based on the wide swings of value
