Thank you for the info! She’s being sunset for an air eventually here. Original battery, turns out she’s only got about 26 cycles—I thought her to bring to LAN parties with W7 as a dual boot and her video card kicked ass for that! Kept her plugged in all the time. Battery looks perfect, and on full brightness she gets through 1.75 playthroughs of Beetlejuice.

No rattles, always had a cooling mat with fans under her while I was playing games. Fans are all doing great!

2011 MacBook Pro 15” I’m still using, too! Mostly for just web browsing and picture storage. iPhoto is so good.

I did replace the optical drive with an SSD and maxed out the RAM, so that helps. My only complaint is USB2 is hella slow.

Doom 3 was historically overwhelmingly panned

Is prism the free one? I had an alpha account that is now deleted because Microsoft and I refuse to buy it again.

great explanation

it’s so much more sinister than that and I never thought about any of this before checking this vid out, to be honest. The “they’ve reached the end of what they can Hoover up online and now they have to go into the real world to steal more data” part is uhhhhh concerning

When SSDs first were becoming mainstream and were kinda spendy, tons of R*editors spewed “it’s not important because it only affects loading time. I can wait for another 20 seconds” when games coming out would have hella microstutters, and the load times could count up to minutes per screen. Playing Bethesda games on a HDD was a nightmare, going in and out of houses!

I have a fast NVMe drive and some good SATA SSDs in my main machine, and there is only a couple second difference in loading between those. But I’d never run a program off’a HDD again.

hugs Steam controllers

Good song.

Strong Bad vibes

At first I thought I was watching the start of a Brutalmoose Barbie stream.

Thank you for furry VN recco! I can never have too annoy good fluff games :3

Oooo nice! My partner has the best machine in the house now, since they always got my hand-me-downs and never a brand new machine. We built it about a year ago, so it’s got a 12600k, 32GB RAM, a 3070, 3TB SSD space, and 4TB HDD. Mine’s not terribly far from that, but I am a little envious hahaha

Ooo and yah, I’m doing P3R after P5!

Nahhh thank you, hahaha. My other machines are Linux, we just keep our high end gaming machines on Windows. That older computer with the 4670k is getting Pop! OS when I get around to it.

Oh and I should specify my old guest machine does have 16GB of RAM, solid state drives, and an RTX2070, so it’s probably a bit better equipped than school machines hahaha

Ugh I would love to switch solely to Linux but I have ONE GAME that I play online with friends that’s an incredibly ridiculous install process and it is impossible to run on Linux without issues. It’s amazing that it even runs on Windows nowadays. (The Specialists, a mod for the original Half Life.)

That’s super awesome

Buuuut my guest gaming machine is a 4670k machine and I can confirm that not only does Windows 10 run very smoothly on it, but it also runs most modern games at 60+FPS! CPU-bound games can struggle. We finally got my partner a new computer and made that one the guest machine when Persona 5 went from 80FPS down to 5FPS when they got off the train hahaha

These are amazing.

Update: 15ish hours in, I’m voicing like four characters and my partner is voicing all of the others. We are absolutely loving it so far. Thank you for the recco!

TF me into a furry? Uhhhh how have I not played that yet
