A childhood friend of mine worked as a developer for Riot Games over a decade ago, when League of Legends first became popular. He tried to get me to play it with him, but the community was so toxic, it’s the first and only game I ever quit solely because of the community.
If you didn’t play specific characters with very specific builds, you were just wasting everyone’s time and any losses would be blamed on you. It was really bad.
I love the content and lore that comes from LoL (Arcane, K/DA, etc.), but I can’t stand the game itself.
Yeah what I never got was how did they find new perfect builds if you were not allowed to play the game freely to try new things. I mean I known the answer it was data mining but at that point is it a game or a job and you are just going through the motions. What ever happened to GG and you in something you lose some but we all had fun.
You’re not alone, my 2060 brother. As my build gets further into it’s twilight years I stick almost exclusively to smaller indie titles.
I bought my wife that Harry Potter game a while back and I don’t even want to try it. Even on potato mode it’s like 20fps in outdoor maps. She doesn’t seem to mind the shitty frames, thankfully.
Starfield was maybe one of the last ”modern games” I could run. 1080p and 30fps locked because It couldn’t handle steady 40fps. I havent bought any games made in 2024 or 2025. I mostly just buy older games that are now available -90% or something. My latest purchase was a remaster ed. for a 20 year old game which price was now all time low.
I haven’t tried starfield yet, but it looks interesting and I suspect I could run it at lower settings since I’m pretty sure it runs a modified Skyrim engine and Skyrim runs just fine.
Totally with you on older games on high discount. I picked up Metal Gear Rising Revengence for super cheap last year and that game is almost a decade old. I think the older rig has really helped maintain discipline to wait out the hype till games are older and I can enjoy them at a much lower cost.
Previous System76 owner here - Switched to Framework for my second laptop. Yes, System76 contributes upstream to Linux, but Framework is just better. My System76 needed a fan replaced and it was lowkey annoying - Paid over 150$ to have it done; such an upgrade is much easier on the Framework (not to mention the customization lets you get exactly what you need and pay for nothing more)
Same tbh. Framework just works. And they do contribute back, just perhaps not as much specifically to Linux. Open source hardware is so incredibly valuable and important and rare. Honestly, if I had to choose only based on how much is contributed back, I’d still pick Framework.
Yeah, I don’t expect to play a lot of things but 99% of the time I’m playing some 2D indie game. Everyone once in a blue moon I like to replay the TES series
Post stary, ale powiem tylko, że mierzę się z tym samym problemem. Zmuszam się, żeby skończyć licencjat, a potem chcę znaleźć pracę w czymkolwiek, bo demotywuje mnie brak pieniędzy. Z drugiej strony dostałam 40 odmów na aplikacje o pracę w obszarze, który studiowałam. Co do studiów, to żałuję, że nie wybrałam czegoś ścisłego (matma, statystyka, ekonometria, matematyka finansowa, informatyka, etc.).
It’s compatible with Elite Dangerous, and I like it’s colour theme more this is why it looks familiar I guess.
It’s a Colonial Viper from Battlestar Galactica, that I really like. So I try to either fly Vipers or VF-1 from Macross, what I also dig :-)
I also fly with XR (3D thanks to SBS mode). VR gives me motion sickness and has some other drawbacks [for me]. See my ViperPit videos to get an idea how that looks 👍
can’t wait to sink my teeth into that game… right after I finally get around to getting better PC parts
tried the demo and the framerate was noticeably bad even after messing about with the settings
I mainly blame myself for putting up with Intel integrated graphics until now, but then again, putting “texture quality” below “very high” removes the characters’ pupils, so maybe the game’s just poorly optimised 🤷
Ah that’s a shame. The game looks nice, but there’s not that much going on, so you shouldn’t need an expensive rig to run it, so I imagine it’s a bit poorly optimized.
