Staple Games/Programs On Your System

#1

I’ve wanted to create this I think since MyG.

What are the programs (or games) that you always have on your system, maybe it’s essential for you to have them, irrespective how often you change systems or have to do formats and re-installations.

*I say system, as users could use Macs, so I don’t assume

Platform(s):

  • Steam
  • Uplay

Utility:

  • MSI Afterburner - System monitoring
  • Networx - Data monitoring
  • Avast! Antivirus - Self-explanatory
  • Firefox (Quantum) - Browsing

Entertainment:

  • VLC Media Player - Video
  • Foobar2000 - Music

Games:

  • Grand Theft Auto V/Online (This is what got me to thinking about making this topic)
  • Something multiplayer

A lot of what I use is portable or online, so I don’t really install much. The bit that I do:

Avast
Media Player Classic
Chrome
Plex
iSpy Connect
Google Drive Backup (Whatever they calling it these days)
Teamviewer
Photoshop
Lightroom

Anything else I can find or need from Ninite. (best site ever)

I just realize how little time and focus I actually spend to my PC. At the moment I can only think of a handful of programs that I have to have, and those are:

Steam
Chrome
Teamviewer
Discord

And that’s it. I don’t use my PC for anything else.

The quickest and easiest suggestion I can give you is Lightroom on your phone. It’s free and just as powerful as the desktop version, it just can’t do RAW files without a subscription as far as I know.

There a few other desktop softwares out there but I think this might be the easiest for now.

Let me know if you need some help with anything.
