To play any real games (non-web browser games) you need a dedicated video chip (you don't have one). Dedicated video chips are either NVIDIA or Radeons. It is not possible to upgrade it in a laptop either.
So pretty much you would have to buy a new computer to play any of those.
I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
