If you're buying a gaming laptop, buy one in the mid-lower end of performance. It won't have the heat issues but it won't be able to run 60fps with all the bells and whistles on at the highest resolution. So 1080p with DLSS or FSR will be your helpful friend.
I don't know even understand why people want to buy gaming laptops, they are as expensive as regular PCs and they have worse performance in everything.
If you have a tech job and you like the portability, then it's fine. I have a friend who works with game development and he likes to work at his desk, then go to his couch, he takes his laptop to his mom's house when he's visiting but still needs to work etc. If we're talking solely about gaming and browsing the web, i'd just buy a PC.
For the same price you will get much better performance.

Maybe there's no real space for a desktop with a screen and mouse/keyboard? Reasons like that. It can easily be chucked in a drawer and take up zero space when not used.

Unless you live in a REALLY small place like this, i think most people have enough space to set up a normal PC.
You can buy a smaller TV and use it both as a monitor and as your TV (if you still like to watch TV). There's also like, smaller PC cases to save up on space.

I'm just thinking about cost effectiveness, but i know some people just really like portability even if they don't go outside much and their laptops just go from the desk to their bed and vice-versa, which is fine. I don't even like to use my Steam Deck while in bed unless i'm 100% awake, cause i've fallen sleep with the Deck and Switch before and was mortified when i woke up. Thankfully nothing happened, but i know it's not wise for me to buy a $1000 laptop and use it in bed cause i will 100% fall asleep and end up breaking it.

That guy looks like he doesn't have kids living with him. For a normie a laptop with a 50-60 series cards is alright.
 
Why do single player games now have these faggy EULAs you have to agree to saying not to use offensive language or belittle others or whatever?

Insult who? Offend who? The NPCs? This is a single player RPG nigga.

The future of AI will be getting banned for calling NPC's niggers in single player games

I assume it's a standard boilerplate that corpos use for all their games regardless of whether they're single or multiplayer but it's still retarded.

If I pay $70 for your slop I should be entitled to call anyone a nigger at any time since it's my fucking game.
 
So apparently the Bubsy collection is out, and so far I've seen two youtubers play this thing and it's leaving me with a bad impression. Not the game itself, mind you, but at the people that are playing this. It makes me question the kind of "skills" they have as "gamers". I get it, "Bubsy bad", but there has to come a point in where you can no longer use the game as a scapegoat for your horrendous playing. And this is JUST with the first game.

Before you play the actual games, there is a screen that shows you the controls and BOTH YouTubers dismiss it aside from noticing there was a rewind feature. This is important because while Bubsy only has Jump'n'Glide as his buttons (also having a camera panning button and a weapon changing button in the second game) you have to alternate between the two given certain situations. Bubsy dies to everything... it's one of those hard-as-balls games you need to take your time and be precise with it (like many MANY games of that time and even before it with the stuff that was on the NES), so you need to alternate between actual jumping and gliding-jumping to make sure you don't fall to your doom and die to things. NONE of these YouTubers do this, instead they just fucking gun it, throwing caution to the wind.

I've noticed that a lot of these people that (attempt to) play these kind of games have that "Super Mario" mentality that I've been seeing more and more of, where they HAVE to hold the run button when they move because otherwise "the game sucks if you're not running". And that annoys me because platformers are not about getting to the end as fast as possible. There are collectables, some of which offer extra lives for you to farm so you don't fucking have to see the "Game Over" screen 15 bajillion times. There are enemies scattered all over the place that teach you things like "ok they do this, therefore i must do that!". For example, in the first Bubsy game, there are trees scattered all over the first stage that you can use to bounce higher to not only collect more stuff but to get to higher places, which incedentally wind up being the safer areas to travel, so right off the bat the game teaches you one of the fundimental aspects of platforming, in which if you take time to explore then you are rewarded with good things. The problem... NONE OF THE YOUTUBERS DO THIS! There is a tree that is right in front of their fucking face as soon as the stage title card fades out, they bounce on it, and never fucking use it again. And because of this, they keep going to the same lower paths dying the same ways while going "WOAH MAN WHAT THE FUCK!?!?"

At this point, I'm more convinced the people that are playing this game are just doing it to get "reactions" than to actually play the game with any kind of seriousness. The game IS beat-able. It gives you a fuck-ton of lives at the start, with more of them handed to you on a silver platter in plain sight, including in the later stages. Now with this collection, there is a rewind system so you can go back and not fuck up. There really is no excuse for people to not attempt to play this legit.

I'm still mad I had to name my character Adolf Hateler instead of Adolf Hitler in Hogwarts Legacy [EMPRESS CRACK].

I recently came to the realization that this is me with Diablo 3. Every season I participate in, same story basically. I roll Wiz/Barb, set up Rasha meteor/WW waste and mindlessly grind shards, gem ranks, ancients and primals. Previous season also added the Rathma LoTD onto it since it's just retardedly broken, but even despite that I can't be fucked to go beyond GR 130. I hate the slog, I hate blowing 5 full supplies worth of blood shards to not get the legendary I need, I hate spamming A1/A2 caches for RORG and gloves of worship, I hate reforging the puzzle ring, I hate the hellfire amulet rng, I hate resetting for that fucking cow staff, I hate GRs that don't spawn a single pylon in 5 minutes, I hate the barracks, corvus and tristram cathedral dungeon tilesets, I hate arcane enchanted packs in one way tight corridors. I hate so much fucking shit about that awful, awful game that's played by maybe 200 people in all of Europe (everyone is automatically connected to the chat which explicitly tells you how many people are playing at the moment) and yet I keep coming back when they dangle something shiny as the final season reward, in this case a D2 greater mummy pet.

I haven't played D3 since I think the season after Necro got added. This year I really got into Project Diablo 2 and hope some day a community lead remaster can come to Diablo 3 as well so I can revisit it.

I did enjoy my time with D3. Not perfect but a bit different enough from D2. In the end if you are still having fun who cares, get that mummy pet and wait for the next carrot to dangle and make you play the game.
 
So I have downloaded Ratatan and I've noticed a few funny things:
1. The unity project is called "game"

2. In the NVIDIA control panel it's name is "Russian Underground: VR"

As for the game itself, it's very fun, I enjoy it a lot :)

And there it is. 1 week into the season, playing on and off for a couple hours, and I'm done. Not grinding the fucking staff of herding again. I already have the wings.

Hey guys I didn't know where to put this or where to share it. The fuckers from SONY do you know what they did, I Just found out personally, in order to use the online functionality of PS games you need not only to have Internet (duuh) but now you need to have a PS plus subscriptions. The fokin' pieces of shit! I wanted to play some bloodborne on my PS4 and everything's good and I enter and press online sure (I wanted to see the messages and ppl fighting ingame) and bam second screen subscribe to ps+ how about NO... the MFers maaaaan

I'll always love Diablo 3's way of doing seasons. You play through it on a character, unlock a free set, fuck around and benefit from your previous legacy percentages etc, beat the dungeon, get the pets and a border, keep going or redo it in a few months down the line. Did Diablo 3 even pioneer ARPG seasons? Or did PoE do it in this manner before?

Man, Diablo 3 got so many wacky ass minipets from collabs and promos.
 
A game on steam called BlockBlasters (A), which has since been deleted, was actually malware that stole people's crypto wallets. The game had fake reviews plastered on it and has existed since July somehow.
A streamer called rastaland, who has cancer, was doing streams where he ended up reaching over 30k, then someone came into his chat and convinced him to try BlockBlasters, it immediately emptied his wallet.
His tweet about it.
Tweets from someone else looking into the game files.
Some code found that scans your browser files and credentials.

Clip of rastaland realizing all the money was stolen.


Someone sent him 32.5k in crypto to a new wallet, so he's recovered. But apparently he was given the wrong wallet at first, so he actually spend 65k, oops.

All this to say be careful out there, especially with free games.
