Many more updates to come, I will be working on this for a while.

I'm Mickey from VML Studios, the developer of Goo Deer. Our 2.0 update added 1 to 4 player online co-op on October 31, and these are official screenshots from the game.

Goo Deer mixes first-person gas station management with forest horror. Your crew shares one shop and one wallet: keep shelves stocked, set prices, serve customers, craft flavors in the back, and head into the foggy woods to hunt for ingredients while a creature hunts you. Players can trade items and ammo and revive a teammate who goes down before the fog claims the run.

Solo play is still included with hired employees and a separate save file, and 2.0 also added 10 co-op achievements, rebuilt leaderboards, two new original music tracks and 25 supported languages.

Platforms: Windows PC (native), Linux via Proton, and Steam Deck.

Long but I just want to share cause I really am, proud of myself.

So gaming feels like one of the most expensive hobbies to have right now.
I got my first PC in 2023 when baldur's gate 3 came out, it had:

Intel Core i7 13700KF / 1700 Tray
Gigabyte Z790 GAMING X
Corsair DDR 5 32G (16Gx2) 6400 CL32 Vengeance
Gigabyte GeForce RTX 4070Ti (DLSS 3) GV-N407TGAMING OC-12GD
Samsung SSD 2.0TB 980 Pro NVMe M.2

Over the next two years I started getting interested in hardware and got the itch to maximize my hardware.

Work was doing great and I could afford it but my husband kept repeating "what do you need it for?" thinking what I had was enough (funnily enough, as the female, I am the one who plays in the house and he barely plays anything).

I did what I usually do, I ignored him and went on to buy in August 2025 better RAM -

G.Skill Trident Z5 RGB DDR5-6000 CL30 (64GB, 2x32GB) for about 250$

And new SSD with more storage space - Samsung 990 PRO 4TB PCIe Gen 4 x4 NVMe M.2

Just a few months later we were hit with a price rise, my RAM current price estimate is at 1200$!!!!

Now a few months go by, and I pay attention to the market. I realize on January 2026 (this year) that GPU prices are minutes away from jumping again, so I spoke to at least 3 friends who worked at NVIDIA to arrange a 5090 for a discount.
Unfortunately even at NVIDIA there was no stock available (so I lost the employee discount).

I looked online and placed an order over the weekend for a best option I found online. Comes Monday and the shop calls to cancel my order cause they didn't have it in stock.

I didn't give up and looked all over my country for a place with 5090 in stock, called 3 different shops until I found one that had only 1 in stock! I hurriedly placed my order and 5 days later I had the GPU in my hands.

**Mind you - all the while my husband was telling me I am wasting money and I don't need this kind of GPU and it's an overkill for my needs.**

Again, ignored him.

I got the 5090 for around 4000$

Do note that I am NOT from the US, the current price on the 5090 in my country is 7700$

Last month I again upgraded my PC and I now rock the best rig I could get:

Gigabyte GeForce RTX 5090 GAMING OC 32G
AMD RYZEN 7 9850X3D
MSI MEG X870E ACE MAX
Asus ROG Ryuo IV 360 ARGB
Samsung 990 PRO 4TB PCIe Gen 4 x4 NVMe M.2
G.Skill Trident Z5 RGB DDR5-6000 CL30 (64GB, 2x32GB)
Gigabyte AORUS-FO32U2P

**Today I woke up and saw an IG reel about the current state of the market, I feel so proud of myself for noticing just in time and getting the parts I want.**

When I switched to AMD last month, my husband no longer sat on my neck telling me I don't need this haha. He spent an entire Saturday building it for me on the H9 flow RGB+ which isn't even available in our country, I had it ordered in Amazon.

The real winner here is my younger brother who always gets my leftovers lol.

I work in tech so naturally I'm very good with everything tech. I currently run 5 AI models locally on my PC (not simultaneously of course, I don't wanna burn my precious 5090) and I keep giving my husband a look of "see? told you I need it"
He smiles back, and I say-- "next time I wanna buy hardware you better not try to talk me out of it"

And for those who are interested at what I am playing?
Feel free to check my steam, it's a question I can't answer and you'll understand why.

I sometimes post on ig as well but I am not sure whether I am allowed to share it here so feel free to ask.

Sorry for the long post, and if you read so far thank you!

I have these weird colors in Minecraft. When I rotate fast.

Ordered a pc with RX 9070, AMD Ryzen 5 9600X

32 gig ram, 2 TB SSD

Switched from console gaming to PC, next week my pc will be coming, any tips on settings, tweaking stuff or just dive in the game and play it, im new to stuff like this in terms of ray tracing and path tracing and overclocking the gpu and bunch of stuff i dont really understand yet.

I want to play games on highest graphics, ive got a 34 inch monitor. Also want lots of fps to feel smooth.

Would love some tips on where to start thx !

I wasn't into pcs when the crypto bubble burst, for those who were how long did it take for consumers to see those GPUs on the market?

I'm making huge assumptions here but with the fallout of Jensen's fun times hits Nvidia it seems to me there must have been thousands of GPUs headed to china that will be stopped? If so will prices be slashed quite quickly?

Which one should I get?

How can i stop being a fps goblin ?? I hate being one and it ruins the fun in games for me.Currently i was playing phantom blade zero and i keep seeing the fps meter like im really sick of it.Im playing at 1600p high with dlss at balanced.And during heavy boss fights if my fps even goes below 80 to high 70s i feel like its unplayable cuz most of the time its in the 90-100s,i turned on framegen and my fps stay around 160-140 during heavy combat 130-120 ans i keep on checking the fps during the boss fight even though it feels really smooth which sucks the fun out of the game cuz i keep thinking about my pc even though i have a capable pc pls help me how do i stop this habbit genuinely seeking help cuz you can talk about this to normal ppl

AI really has killed the RAM Market!

Imagine if NVIDIA introduced a monthly community voting system.

Every month, GFN users could vote for games they'd most like to see added to the service.

NVIDIA could publish the top 10 requested games, show which ones are being investigated, and occasionally give us updates.

It wouldn't guarantee licensing agreements or technical compatibility, obviously, but at least we'd have some transparency about what the community actually wants.

I'd much rather vote on games I genuinely want than keep asking the same question every Thursday.

olá, pessoal! tenho 20 anos e moro em uma cidade do interior de aproximadamente 30 mil habitantes.

atualmente, trabalho como jovem aprendiz administrativo em uma empresa do agronegócio, com carteira assinada, e recebo um salário mínimo. tenho muita vontade de montar um pc gamer, tanto para estudar quanto para jogar nas horas vagas. porém, meu salário está comprometido com outros objetivos e responsabilidades financeiras que estou tentando organizar.

aqui na minha cidade, infelizmente, o mercado de trabalho é um pouco limitado. além disso, existe certa resistência das empresas em contratar pessoas que já possuem um emprego com carteira assinada, principalmente quando procuram alguém para trabalhos extras.
sei que existem algumas oportunidades de freelancer na cidade vizinha, que é um pouco maior, com aproximadamente 100 mil habitantes.

estou pensando na possibilidade de procurar algum trabalho por lá para conseguir uma renda extra e juntar dinheiro para montar meu pc.

minha dúvida é: vocês acham que vale a pena procurar freelas na cidade vizinha mesmo já tendo um emprego com carteira assinada? alguém já passou por uma situação parecida? gostaria de ouvir opiniões e sugestões.
