Anyway I gotta get back to work, CYA Amit!

I would have LOVED that game when I was a kid. And learned so much more physics younger. :-)

yeah learning made even more fun, what's not to like!

NASA is actually using KSP as educational software for schools now, it is a great way to get kids to understand how rockets work.

'Cause I do all the maths and things

I have a calculator next to me when I play KSP

23 Jul 08:45

Amit Dutta

definitely your thing!

I think I played them ages ago...can't remember

Well I'm such a space geek that I consider KSP basically a good way to learn orbital mechanics

I'd like to play the Half Life series though, it looks cool

23 Jul 08:45

Amit Dutta

yeah that looked cool....seems like a HUGE time sink to me haha

23 Jul 08:44

which is hardly graphics intensive lol

I keep meaning to get something to play...but never end up doing it. I might get that one that is the sequel to Limbo. Looks cool

I'm similar, the only game I want is the Kerbal Space Program

23 Jul 08:44

Amit Dutta

nope

23 Jul 08:44

Do you do any gaming Amit?

23 Jul 08:44

Amit Dutta

I'm running 16Gb ram with extension possible to 64gb, an i7-6700 and a 4GB gaming NVidia GPU. Runs sweet and decent enough for the basic 3D stuff I need :)

He sets the bar pretty high though lol.

This was the only article on digital painting workstation requirements I could find: http://www.fantasio.info/2014/01/the-101...nting.html

23 Jul 08:42

Amit Dutta

shouldn't do, with a minimum of 8GB ram a fairly decent CPU and an SSD

23 Jul 08:42

Mechanizoid

But yeah a good gaming PC won't hold you back in PS I think.

23 Jul 08:41

Mechanizoid

I got the impression that PS and other painting programs can use more CPU and RAM, while games tend to really rely on the graphics (the CPU and RAM is important, but most in terms of not bottlenecking the GPU).

23 Jul 08:40

Amit Dutta

--

Not important for 2D

Good gaming rigs with the exception of screen recommendations are mostly aligned with grunty design machines. It matters more if you are going to do 3D work of course

23 Jul 08:40

And then there are the guys who like to tweak their systems like people used to tweak their car engines. OCing is cool but I'm not sure if I really need it.

23 Jul 08:39

Like now a lot of it is either budget gaming, 4k gaming, and VR gaming rigs.

One of the things that annoy me is that most of the build guides and advice for PC builders out there are geared towards gaming, makes it hard to figure out exactly what fits my requirements.
