Overview / Usage

Simply put, I use a lot of CAD programs and have always wanted to game on a PC more. I have a 3D printer and I design things to print pretty regularly. The current PC of mine is a laptop with 128GB of Storage, no graphics card, and an 8th gen CPU (the cpu used to be good like 5 years ago. Not Great. Often I'll be in the middle of designing something and oh no! my Fusion 360! its broken, and the only game I have enough room for having all my CAD programs and whatnot is Minecraft. Upgrades are definitely warranted.

I have had an interest in Team Fortress 2 (and the rest of Valve's library), yet I've never had a computer I could free enough space on to get both Steam and the games I want. In addition to this, I've wanted to delve into 3D design and rendering took very long on the laptop I had been using prior.

I thought about this prompt for a while, but then I thought about the whole "Engineer Gaming" meme from a while ago. Flavor adds depth to any project. This whole Engineer + Gaming idea fits well with what I want in my PC, so I developed the idea. All the little quotes after the technologies used are in character as the engineer. Imagine him with his guitar like in Meet the Engineer.

If you are unaware of this, heres a link to a video for the basic idea of the meme if you aren't aware. https://youtu.be/o\_V67j-6PmE
