Welcome friend, even midlevel will open you to a world of gaming.

Remember the order of purchases should be GOG (DRM free games), then Steam, then shittier platforms.

Older games especially, things like the older fallout games you'll be able to pick up for <$5 and play for 60+ hours

I would put Humble Bundle bundles at the top of the list.

I would put independent developers at the top of the list. Couple examples

Bump for humble. Run it for a year or two and you'll have a scary backlist in no time. Though I also have a bunch of shit (imo not actually) games from the early days before the pick system that I'll never play.
