So I've sort-of been trending towards PC gaming, not in the hardcore camp outside a store for a graphics card way, but I bought a little APU-based mini PC that has been surprisingly good late last year.
It's hooked up to my TV (I will not do desk gaming) and I'd like to play some things that are really not controller friendly, like Age of Empires, Deus Ex, Stalker series, maybe some old Sim City etc. Was thinking a trackball would be nice since I can lounge around without needing a flat space to sit it. It's a weird market though, there's different types yet not much to choose from. Seems like maybe stuck with Logitech, which the way I've been not thrilled with their stuff lately I'd be as happy trying out one of the capital letter Chinese brands that won't be much different.
Anyone that's done this for light (or heavy) gaming have any suggestions? I haven't used a trackball since my laptop had one over 25 years ago.
Check out GOG for deals on older games if there's anything you're missing or even things you wanted to check out back then but never got around to. Better deals than steam, and they are copy protection free, so you can download your own installer to use permanently. Also, they are updated to run (almost) flawlessly on new PCs.
Yeah I've got GOG and Steam installed. Prefer GOG for sure, particularly the ability to download the installers. I might want them later, because historically I have gone back to things I owned from ages ago.
I had a few games on Steam already too. Not a fan of all the games that want even more extra DRM. Like the EA stuff wanting special apps sucks. Or all the Square Enix stuff mentions something called Denuvo I haven't researched yet. At the very least I really only game on that machine, so if they stalk me they aren't going to get much.
