A Legionary's Life

The new system is installed, more or less.

Installing Windows is easy. Setting up all your peripherals and adding a second drive and downloading the programs you need takes quite a bit longer. In the end, though, it's very stable and relatively quiet (though I'm going to change out a few fans for Noctua's).

The system is a Microcenter pre-build, as I've mentioned before, and it's a quality build. I'm very impressed. The CPU is a Ryzen 7 7800X3D. All the other hardware is in the upper section of mid-tier, but after having the same system for the last ten years, it all feels like a Ferrari. 

So, of course, I'm fascinated with what is basically a text game. 

It's called A Legionary's Life, and you play as a common Roman soldier at the bottom of the food chain, just trying to survive. No magicians or dragons or any fantasy elements. Plus, you'll die. Quite a lot, really. When you do, you get a small starting boost to your next character.

The historical research seems solid, and the writing reflects it. It's oddly mesmerizing, just scraping along. I highly recommend it, and it's only $3.99 as part of the latest Steam sale.
