GAMERS LAIR

[Bum8ara5h]

A TB NVMe isn't bad compared to a mechanical drive, unfortunately you can't add a normal HDD either...but at least you got a fast drive for gaming.

U can have one in external drive, it is like usb flash now)))

Is there any other henry? heh.

No problem, kinda figured while you were making that HUGE list it got overlooked, seriously...thanks for the game bomb!

hehh Henry the King

Don't blame you...I haven't emulated in ages, so I'm probably the one off the radar on this one

Me too and I prefer emulating on snes mini at least I can fell a real joypad under my hands. I started emulating before Retroarch that's why I prefer keeping separate emulators rather then using one for all (Retroarch).

 

[klingki]

Nope, besides...only americans are dumb enough to list their region in the wishlist (or past americanos), right klingki?

I'm a unique case where my Steam region doesn't actually give away where I live. I mean, I've given it away myself several times, lol. But putting it in the wishlist is no biggie! So yeah, dumb American over here!

I've done this...and watched multiple drives die. An I mean ALOT

Purchased in a shell, purchased with an adapter...I actually intended to build my own external bay with small fans built in I killed so many drives lmao.

And the USB flash type would be 'flash' media, basically the same as an NVMe drive, except less reliable.

Only reason to have a mechanical drive is for backups, not worth it if they die lol.

Thanks for backing me up lmao

I could care less tbh. I could point people at my house and they'd probably still get jacked before me

what's wrong with you people? why you need key for free demo prologue?? but who am i to judge.
WOW for Jesus / SAD for Desolatium / ANGRY for Both - any other reaction & i'll personally bite you by the finger with which you clicked it

HELLO

There is such an expression in Russia: "Everyone jerks off the way they want!". What's wrong with you, that you're interested in what you don't understand? Let's say I don't need the keys to the demo versions, but I don't give a fuck about the information about why someone else needs it.

I am denouncing my russian citizenship ahead of time as of now

Nice thing, i got myself asus tuf705 with 8th gen and 1060 6gb. But i have 17 inches))).
And by the way you have 2 m2 slots, so you can add another ssd

Spoiler: specs

Nice! I like that you went 17". I always used to try to get bigger laptops cuz I only used them at home. But I actually take them around a lot more these days, so I was targeting something smaller. 15" was my plan, but I couldn't pass this one up. It's not exactly what I would call compact, but it still fits nicely into my bag. The power brick tho, holy cow, I have never seen one that big and heavy!

And good to reconfirm about the SSD slots. That was my biggest worry, and I didn't even notice there was a second slot, so that is pretty awesome!

One thing I will miss about my Mac is OpenEmu. I guess RetroArch will be pretty similar, but I loved OpenEmu's UI!

How good does steam work on Mac?

I am admittedly totally unfamiliar with the system these days to the extreme.

 

[CTPAX001RUS]

Most don't, I've obviously been wanting to tinker with overclocking for quite some time...but I can't afford the damages

EDIT:

I actually figured this out trying to underclock my GPU (which is a simple slider for a basic voltage drop) to get a 3DMark achievement for low frame rates on Time Spy.

My 3090 is too diesel, I intend to run it on an old laptop or put my 1070 back in to try

I bought 3DMark on sale.

I like 3dMark, good choose

Like you said, if you tell someone you live in the US, that's not really telling them a whole lot, it's a big ass country, lol

Pretty well, honestly. Most of the problems I've run into are just because the computer is so old and slow. Not anything related to Steam or the OS. And of course the fact that many games don't have a Mac version, so I had to use a lot of GeForce Now to stream games.

My mid-2012 Mac is packing:
2.6GHz Quad-core Intel Core i7, Turbo Boost up to 3.6GHz
8GB 1600MHz DDR3 SDRAM - 2x4GB
1TB Serial ATA Drive @ 5400 rpm
NVIDIA GeForce GT 650M with 1GB of GDDR5 memory (lol)

If you can get past how slow literally everything takes to boot up and load, it actually still runs indie game pretty well. Like I played stuff like The Witness and Beyond Eyes on it and I was surprised at how well everything ran.

 

[CTPAX001RUS]

Ya, hurry. Get me one

Me too

Is this what the young ones call NFT?

All u needed is change your hdd to ssd, it would be still working laptop (not for gaming, of course). I changed my old 2009 laptop asus k40in to ssd and cpu core2duo t9800 - and it is still great for browsing and office

 

[CTPAX001RUS]

Is that an island in his eye? lmao.

No bro. There are only two options in the world for what I was looking at at that moment. But I have already described right option.

So GeForce streaming was your solution, rather than an OS emulation or something, interesting...especially on that.

If there was a (cringe) reaction, I probably would have used it

My old XP (x86 with REAL DOS) was packing almost as much as that...but I jacked it to the absolute max

My old windows 95 IBM still loads faster than my gaming rig

Shows you how bad the bloatware is from every fucking thing.
