Finally got an ASUS ROG gaming laptop! 1

After many years of wanting a decent gaming laptop but not having a spare few thousand dollars, I finally own an ASUS ROG laptop!

This thing is insane.
The problem now is I don't know what to do with all this power? Does anyone have any ideas of things I can do to properly utilise this machine? I've played with several big games on maximum graphics etc but now I'm thinking more simulations/crypto mining/epic stuff.
Specs:
Processor - Intel Core i9-9980HK (9th Gen) Memory - 32GB DDR4 2666 Mhz Graphics - NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2080 8GB Storage - 1TB HDD + 1TB SSD
Any ideas are much appreciated 😁

Currently downloading the new Microsoft Flight Simulator (75GB!). It looks frikkin epic!

Pretty cool. I would probably sell it and use money to get a decent desktop PC and then get a Switch for portable gaming. Nintendo even has a Switch Pro coming out next year!
If you're looking for PC games then I would recommend Rimworld and Tony Hawk 1 and 2 remake comes out next month!! The new Doom game is good and it looked a little cheesy, but Dragon Age 11 is tons of fun and makes me laugh too. It might be called Dragon Quest 11 I can't remember right now.
My wife is into working out so I just picked up Ring Fit Adventure for Switch and she is Hella. Sometimes that game can go for a couple hundred dollars and i got it for $85.

Damn that's some crazy power for a laptop. Must be pretty loud lol.
I got one with a 1660ti. Realized I don't even really play games that require even that much power haha. All the games I play are old xD. Hittin' the old school runescape with a turbocharger lol.

Dude Runescape is the shit! A large portion of my childhood was devoted to the grind of RS haha.
They need to make a VR version.
And I know what you mean, now that I have this beast I realise I don't need anywhere near what it offers lol.
