kersplomp, do games w Gaming Laptop with Linux Preinstalled and 32GB+ RAM?

PSA: Don’t buy a gaming laptop. They are trash. The plastic case will melt, the wifi card will come loose, the battery will die within minutes. A steam deck is truly your best option.

And never ever buy alienware. Screw them in particular.

Holytimes,

Literally every higher end laptop gets called a gaming laptop… It’s a nothing term. Even the absolute least flashy laptop with no RGB and is basically just a glorified Thinkpad with a 4080 mobile in it gets called a gaming laptop just cause of the 4080.

Saying don’t buy a gaming laptop basically means you can’t buy literally any good high end hardware full stop.

It’s a short sighted and frankly stupid piece of advice that just hurts people.

The Alienware bit tho, that’s spot on. 100% fuck em.

happeningtofry99158,

whats with alienware? bad quality?

neukenindekeuken,

Overpriced, over-hyped consumer hardware that’s loud, obnoxious, and not that much better than significantly cheaper options.

You’re paying for the brand, and a bunch of obnoxious LED lights that are plugged in to every spare inch of the thing.

Correction, don’t buy a cheap gaming laptop. There are plenty of ones like the lenovo legion and rog strix g16 that have good build quality and will last you years.

The ones with crappy plastic and overheat regularly are usually the ones under $1000

happeningtofry99158,

Why no Alienware? Is it because they’re extremely expensive and overpriced?

Deconceptualist,

Yeah. And Dell bought them a long time ago so they would have a ‘gaming’ brand. Just buy a regular Dell machine and save money, it’s about as simple as that.

Yeah I have a gaming laptop and I haven’t used it since I got a steam deck.

Prove_your_argument, do games w Steam Machine is huge for indie development

I wish this was a likely outcome but realistically steam hardware is too small a userbase. They are most likely to get performance profiles for their hardware due to the standardization and free steam marketing of compatibility, but windows users are still a supermajority.

teawrecks,

Steam hardware has so far been pretty niche, though. If the user experience is smooth enough, a SM could replace many people’s xbox/playstation.

We’re like 5y into the PS5/XBSX, new games are jumping up to $70-100 each, and hardly any are platform exclusives. Msft have all but canceled the next Xbox, and if Sony tries to push the PS6 in a few years, I think there’s a world where a good chunk of people say nah.

And with the amount of attention Linux is getting from the win10 eol, we could be at the beginning of an historic inflection point in gaming.

GreyCat,

If only they invested in a big marketing push world-wide. They have the money for it.

But they might just not care about being that popular in hardware.

Prove_your_argument,

They’re marketing where it matters, to people who use their platform.

They sent out all the demo units for reviewers to hit the wider gaming audience on PC.

This stuff is never gonna convert console users who don’t already have steam accounts.

wizardbeard,

I’m still hoping that someday 1 and 2 will get decomps so fans can try their hand at it.

NuXCOM_90Percent,

Unfortunately, we didn’t create enough art for Joseph Gordon Levett to sell so Volnutt is forever stuck on the moon and we will never get an aged up Tron Bonne outside of the internet.

owenfromcanada, do gaming w What's the video game equivalent of fast food?

Most mobile games. They follow one of a few basic formulae, they rarely have anything original, and they’re full of bloated ads and other garbage. But they know how to give that dopamine hit.

HeyThisIsntTheYMCA, do gaming w Whine harder you assholes
@HeyThisIsntTheYMCA@lemmy.world avatar

Kojima’s got this one right. Every game has at least one gay character. You, the player.

Psythik, do games w Begun the kernel wars have

Its*. This word is an exception to the rule of using an apostrophe to indicate possession. It’s is always a contraction for “it is”.

CeeBee_Eh,

I didn’t even catch that the first time. But what should we expect from garbage software?

jsomae,

It’s not an exception. Pronouns never have apostrophes for possessive.

His. Hers. Theirs. Its.

Nebula, do games w At the end of Portal 2...

also portal 2 spoilerAlso Caroline is still in glados, if you listen to the credits song.

Co-Op SpoilersBy the end of the coop story and it’s DLC you also realise that she’s still a lot softer like she is when accompanying Chell in the main game. She tries to pretend to still be ruthless and unfeeling but that mask falls off a few times.

Edit: specified spoiler is for co-op

Nebula,
@Nebula@fedia.io avatar

Never closed a spoiler again so fast. 😅 haven't played coop yet.

MrScottyTay,

Sorry, i should’ve specified it was co-op. I highly recommend finding a friend to play it though, it’s a great experience.

Nebula,
@Nebula@fedia.io avatar

Thankfully I only read until coop. Didn't spoil me, it's all good.

IceSoup,

The coop is genuinely incredible

MidsizedSedan,

Man, now I want to play co-op more…

I haven’t read the spoiler, but the fact that there is something that requires a spoiler tag makes it should a lot more interesting

FuyuhikoDate, (edited )

It took me Yeats to finish coop (because too much other games and being an adult sucks) but daaamn when we finished it, we had a blast.

Hope ya get an Chance. It was very good :)

SlartyBartFast,

I needed William Butler Yeats to get thru the coop as well

FuyuhikoDate,

I hate my phone and lemmy for always pointing out that i didnt double check autocorrect… 🤣

dukemirage,

That’s also heavily implied during the game.

PunnyName, (edited )

During the game, yes.

spoilerBut at the end of the game, when she replaced Wheatley, she indicates that she deleted Caroline because it made her soft. Chapter 9: The Part Where He Kills You

LPT: Every game you’ve never played before is a new game, to you, no matter when it was actually released.

mcforest, (edited )

Are you telling me, instead of new games I’ll never play, I should buy old games I’ll never play?

big_slap,

its way cheaper too!
