Man, I was playing Control. My poor laptop was already at its limit rendering the damn game at Medium graphics. But added to that, I was streaming to my buddies.
There’s this one level where we are in one of those dreamlike places and I was supposed to jump to climb a slightly out of reach rock. My laptop, bless it’s soul, could barely chug along at 10-15 fps. I kept missing the rock and falling down into the abyss. After almost 30mins of this, I legit rage quit and played Papers Please 😭.
Turns out, my laptop’s vents were clogged by cat fur (thanks Lisa, my furry baby) and the thermal paste was worse than death valley 💀.
Additionally, have you ever played Driver San Francisco? I doubt there’s a copy available today, but maybe you could source one? Its a really good game.
