I was fortunate enough to grab a discounted 4090 while on my travels and just got everything installed. Already having a lot of fun pumping all my games to max settings, but I'm also interested in running generative AI stuff locally to really take advantage of all that VRAM.
Do you have any newbie-friendly Windows 11 software to recommend for getting started? Thanks!

Hey Tabletidlers,
Another week and another opportunity to share what you've been playing.
For me I was able to finally play the Zombie Apocalypse map for Age of Steam. This map sees you delivering goods (cubes) around a map of Michigan as usual, but whilst dealing with the map evolving due to a horde of zombies. The zombies move in a deterministic manner, so it's possible to plan ahead, but towns or cities the zombies reach are razed, which converts them to a colourless city and removes any cubes upon them. The zombies also add a cost to building track and add a cost to delivering cubes, unless you take the Military Caboose action, which replaces the normal Locamotive spot. Very enjoyable map and the random starting location for the seed zombies means it'll play very differently, I imagine, each game.
So, don't be shy, share what you've managed to get played this week.
