I appreciate this might not be the most original complaint but it bears repeating: there is no legitimate reason for a single-player game to require a persistent internet connection. None.
The argument that it prevents piracy has been thoroughly debunked by thirty years of evidence. The...
The current Humble roguelike bundle is stacked:
Pay what you want tier: Vampire Survivors, Cult of the Lamb
Middle tier: Dead Cells, Risk of Rain 2
Top tier: Hades, Slay the Spire 2
Even if you own half of these it's probably worth it for the gaps in your library.
Building a new rig. 3200 vs 3600 DDR4 is basically same price. DDR5 4000+ still pricey. For 1440p gaming, real difference? Benchmarks show 1-3 FPS which seems pointless.

The infinite stamina option in Elden Ring is basically essential for exploring without constantly resting.
Undervolting is free performance. Your GPU runs cooler, quieter, and sometimes even faster because it doesn't thermal throttle. Here's how I did it on my RTX 4070:
1. Open MSI Afterburner and press Ctrl+F to open the voltage/frequency curve
2. Find the point where your GPU currently boosts to...
