It's funny how my outlook has changed on this over the past month. At first, I wasn't even thinking so much about gaming. I figured I could use the system for some games, but my goal wasn't that at all. I had gaming covered, and in fact, I had just gotten some console games during the great Black Friday, etc sales. I just needed a new computer, and I didn't want a disappointing cheap POS to replace the reliable tank and once good gaming rig that saw me through the last 16+ years. I was not prepared for the huge difference, and what all that opened up. Everything just works. Bootups and shutdowns in seconds? 60-fps 1080p unflinching youtube video? Two internet browsers with over 40 tabs open working simultaneously while emulating a Gamecube at full speed? Unthinkable. Hooking up an X1 controller sort of pushed it over the top. I feel perfectly at home with it, and it is perfectly at home with Windows 10.
Now, as I settle in to the new reality, and as I sample more of the gaming available, it becomes clear that this is the way to go for a lot of future games (and stuff I have missed out on). It will be slow, though. I'm determined not to spend any more money on games for a while. I have plenty to keep me entertained for a good while. Since I got pretty much what I wanted during the sales, I don't have anything specific I'm itching to try yet. It will come, though.
