@Professor_Groyper @chainsaw_appreciator how much you wanna bet he gets merc'd in the first hour of the game

@Professor_Groyper @chainsaw_appreciator Samus looks so done with his shit and you can't even see her face lol

@Yako @chainsaw_appreciator you guys realize this is fake right

this sounds kind of bad, but i kind of wish something bad would happen?

the times in my life i've had the most drive have been when i was at the lowest points.

when things are going relatively well, i get too comfortable and i kind of get stagnant.

@teto @Kagekokoro the ayn thor actually looks pretty fuckin sick, not gonna lie. i just know i'd buy it and basically never use it lol.

@teto @Kagekokoro it's not a "laptop" technically but it does use laptop hardware so it kind of is. it's one of the very original steam machines, before steam os even came out. really tiny box with about the same performance as a ps4. i played rise of the tomb raider on it in 720p at 30fps back in the day lol. it could run it at like 40fps technically but i locked it down. it was also fine at 900p30 but my monitor was basically a small, shitty TV and didn't fully support 900p so it looked like ass.

anyway, it has an "860m" in it but it's got something weird and custom going on with it, like it technically supports the same drivers but there's something different going on there. can't remember what, exactly.

i saw some people talking about how it doesn't technically support all of vulkan's feature set for 1.3, so there are some things that just won't work on it (or won't work well) if they aren't using directx, which is obviously a problem for linux gaming.

saw some people getting mixed results running anything on bazzite, decent results with some games on other distros but bad results on others. for the most part, it seems like it's the perfect in-between system where it's just new enough to barely be supported but old enough where it isn't really worth trying.

i just stuck windows 11 on there instead, we'll see how that goes. if i have problems with it i'll probably just downgrade back to windows 10 and find a way to turn off the nags.

@frost i've seen some people get it up and running with bazzite and such but the performance is often times dreadful. it's not like i'm doing anything crazy on it, it's like ps4-tier, but i still want to scrape together as much performance as i can get out of the thing.

i was under the impression that the nouveau drivers were worse than the official ones for gaming so that might be a no-go if that's the case. it's not really a matter of getting basic driver support, but getting good performance out of a machine that is stuck in the ps4 era.

i was going to install linux on my old alienware alpha because of windows 10 ending support, but it would appear that if i do that i'm not going to really be able to play games on it due to a lack of support for older nvidia cards (as far as playing games goes).

so my only two options are really either to keep it on windows 10 and just say fuck it, or upgrade to windows 11 unofficially and hope nothing breaks.

@LittleTom @Iffine @Kyonko802 i can't remember what specific games, but i have seen other instances of uncompressed textures running better than compressed ones. kind of interesting to think about.

this is one of the best youtube channels out there lmao

@Kyonko802 @Iffine *after denuvo was removed at least

@Kyonko802 @Iffine it's funny you say Capcom because the resident evil games actually look and perform really great it's just mh wilds because it's running on an engine it wasn't made for

@pettanko @mischievoustomato two is what I usually use, but I have a third just in case I need it. Usually when I'm doing D&D (and I wish I had a fourth for that tbh). Also when I'm working on my game. It's super useful.

@MK2boogaloo because I like Nintendo games.
