My mum bought me a gaming PC after nagging for so long (I have to pay her back in instalments but I'm super grateful) but now I've basically nobody to play games with anymore I was so excited for it too. One good thing I looked forward to ruined again :3
I cry a lot but I'm so used to disappointment that when something good happens I become on edge so this just to be expected
While I don't play online much, if at all, I can tell you PC has probably the most expansive library of games available at the moment. Apart from usual current PC games, you can get old PC games on GOG, which are modified to work on modern systems, and of course, there are emulators for everything: Consoles from early Pong clones to modern Nintendo, Every handheld under the sun, A very large amount of non PC computers, Arcade games as far as the eye can see, and even one for McDonalds ice cream machines! (I'm not kidding, there really is one.)
There are a lot of sources too:
PCGamingWiki has a lot of resources to run games as good as possible,
FMHY has a lot of everything, but a large section related to games, and where to download them,
Myrient is a large repository of retro games,
Roms MegaThread is another good source of retro games,
EmuGen Wiki is perhaps the largest and most reliable source on emulation in general.
And of course, you can always message me if you want to talk about these, or other sources, or even recommendations. I'm always happy to help with such things!
