My laptop is already like 2kg, with that again as a charger. If I get 3hrs of battery I’ll take an extra kilo as opposed to my current 90 minutes

War thunder I can pay either through steam (I prefer that personally) or you can just buy the stuff from their site and ignore the steam part entirely.

It launched in a terrible state and they took ages to make it even tolerable tbh. I used it anyway for free games but I get why a lot of people want nothing to do with it.

That’s Runescape 3,except they are removing it all. Osrs has membership (effectively required for the game) and you can buy bonds so other players can buy membership with in game money. That’s it.

Depends on the game. If audio is a huge part I use my headset, but most games I play these days I have on mute or close to (old school Runescape, Minecraft, TrackMania). Baldur’s gate 3 and counter strike 2 are both fine on my laptop speakers although they do fairly good directional audio as long as it isn’t in a horrible room for audio.

When I played Forza horizon that was mostly on mute too, or at least quiet enough to not be the primary audio.

I’ve tried using a headset for games but after like an hour or so it just feels like shit.

So does the pro version, at least for 11. Most people’s complaints don’t exist on my laptop, but every time I use someone else’s windows computer I get hurt deep inside somewhere

Not 10%? I thought tencents thing was they just have a 10% share in an absurd amount of stuff

Sure I totally believe them, but I’ll keep blocking data access to Microsoft processes anyway

Recently, Baldur’s gate 3, off world trading company, old school Runescape, timberborn. I’m missing some recent but j forgot it so meh.

I generally trust Skill Up as well

I enjoyed it for one run. Tried to do a second playthrough and… nah. One is enough.

This is also AI, right? It screams AI to me.

My epic library is nearly 10% of my steam one, and I’ve only bought a couple games.

Can confirm, several hundred hours in and I have like, 3 usable jets with missiles. And I deliberately rushed the shortest tech line to get them faster. And Im basically permanent premium.

How the fuck is a free player meant to do it

Wow would have to actually be dead first I suppose

OSRS hit almost a mil concurrent last leagues iirc, so it isn’t like it’s a small irrelevant game.

RS3 is pretty dead though

I swear phones used to boot fast but now I’m well over a minute of waiting. My laptop is like 14s, come on phone, keep up.

Gabe is mostly good, at least as far as uber wealthy goes. Maybe some stuff I’m unaware of though

That’s only one hand til you get real good, f keys to swap inventory page like the pros do.

Or just click everything because for the first few hundred hours it doesn’t super matter anyway.

Escape, open to lan. autodetected by other Minecraft clients on the network and works modded without issues. You can enable cheats (or not) by default every time you open it again.

So does Java Minecraft

This is concurrent players, as in at the same time, I don’t think console is matching that, either of them.

? 200kbps, which written that was is kilobits per second, isn’t fine for anything? Thats 40KB/s, and will barely run 240p youtube, some videos it’ll need 144p.

If you mean 200KB/s, that’s 480p youtube. 720p would require a video without a whole lot of movement. If you think that’s fine, go tell everyone you know to never use HD video because that wont cause any issues at all, surely.

I grew up breaking games to make them run under minimum settings. Subnautica has (or at least had) a Dev menu or some shit that you could make the game look like utter arse.

Got me like 18fps at 480p, worth it #playable for younger me.

If I get under 100fps at 4k now I’m unhappy. How times change.

A 20% improvement on batteries wouldn’t make it wafer thin though. I get your point about how long it lasts being the part that actually matters, I just don’t see us having phones people want to use that can last a full day and are that thin. At least not anytime soon.

People right now buy phones that have way way more performance than they’d ever need, all the time, I don’t expect that to change for the general market.

If it’s wafer thin it isn’t going to fit the battery I want it to fit. Thin, yes, wafer thin no. I understand size matters which is why the 20,000mah battery phones aren’t good either. iPad isn’t a fair comparison to a phone, more battery space

That’s because everytime I see a thick phone it’s the size of my arm. In the same way a wafer thin phone is shit, so is 13 bricks glued together vertically.

Still got my money’s worth, about 10hrs in single player, although a lot of fucking about that certainly wasn’t productive, mostly just been around valentine and the place to the east. A bit more than that online.

Kinda surprised it wasn’t a bil, it’s a big game

I’ve not enjoyed single player, Arthur is only allowed to be a cunt for story reasons, the moment I’m doing it I get penalised. It’s not bad but it’s… Eh. At least it was only $30 on sale.

Same. Someone’s like, oh a 3% drop that’s awful!

And I’m like, oh 3%? That’s like, a tiny coin drop or random trash right?

Rdr2 is too fucking big lmao

Tencent isn’t the owner, or even largest shareholder of Ubisoft.

You know there’s an easier example company you could be using, right? An American company, worth and makes billions, has a ton of players and has had for a long time, and is entirely owned by Tencent?

Using Ubisoft as your example is why I think you’re trolling, because Riot is sitting right there.

Are you actually stupid or are you a troll? Tencent is a Chinese company based on the fact it’s based in China and works with the Chinese government. Ubisoft is a Fench company because it is based in France, not China.

No that’d be fucking stupid because Ubisoft is french.

just pasted a screen snip so hopefully that worked. Not pictured: League of Legends which CS:GO only wishes it could be, Runescape (either of them) which is counted in months and Minecraft if it counted my hours would be 5 figures at least.

Epic force refreshes pages including the library, that’s not a good thing. Don’t use shit I don’t want you to use. You can stop it auto updating the launcher though, which is a thing steam doesn’t seem to allow. In general, I don’t want any of my launchers doing things without me telling it to.

I have Epic on my computer, tons of games, even a handful I bought. It’s better than it was at launch, by a lot, but it isn’t something you can just leave open and trust to do fuck all for the most part. GoG is good for this, I can forget it’s open for days because it doesn’t do anything until you want it to

I actually wanted Epic to succeed enough that I messaged their support about the library being force refreshed, it’s apparently intended. If all I wanted was to suck up to a monopoly, why would I put any effort in to making it usable for me?

It’s not really an alternative to steam because it can’t be used the same way. If epic is left open in the background online games randomly lag out due to epic, making it not a viable alternative.

Epic is nowhere near as good as steam. Steam I can open, leave open and ignore. Epic force refreshes pages like the fucking library and then my internet cracks a fit at the sudden large data draw.

Shop wise both are equal, epic now has reviews on the bottom of games so you don’t buy some 1 star trash without warning, but they are both more than just a shop.

You can use steam without ever seeing an ad. Due to low internet bandwidth I just turned off the couple of popups and I currently see 0 ads if I don’t specifically go to the store part. Steam boots into library, so no ads, none in downloads. I don’t use the rest unless I’m actually looking for a new game.
