You can finally open 3 tabs in chrome.

More than 1 is outrageous.

[–] RedditWanderer@lemmy.world 36 points 7 months ago

Wait is that guy even 18? That's a mature game

[–] normalexit@lemmy.world 19 points 7 months ago (2 children)

I have a medium end gaming PC with 64gb of ram and a decent (aging) 5700xt. My favorite PC game right now is Hades 😎

I like the graphics of new games, but every time I try to play one I have to agree to a 50 page privacy policy and/or create a new account. I usually just cancel that and go back to my classic games that you just open and start playing.

[–] msage@programming.dev 1 points 7 months ago

I have 5700xt with 48gb ram, and play Terraria.

It's awesome. Calamity Infernum btw.

[–] psmgx@lemmy.world 1 points 7 months ago

Same build. Rocked CP 2077 in the day but lately it's been Caves of Qud and Red Dead Redemption

Man, fuck that joker. 😭

[–] kratoz29@lemm.ee 11 points 7 months ago (1 children)

This game feels like the perfect game to be cross platform (save game) and I definitely can play it in almost, if not all my devices but I haven't started because I am suffering of choice paralysis lol.

[–] MintyFresh@lemmy.world 2 points 7 months ago (1 children)

Phone for me. The controls aren't involved enough to require a keyboard mouse. Imho anyways

[–] kratoz29@lemm.ee 1 points 7 months ago

Yeah, that is fair, and my Android phone is likely to be the one I'd get it... But at the same time, my battery is a bit messed up... So I am thinking my Switch would be better 😂

[–] abfarid@startrek.website 11 points 7 months ago (2 children)

I don't think consumer grade 16TB SSDs exist. At least not as a single module. Do they?

[–] Crashumbc@lemmy.world 15 points 7 months ago (1 children)
[–] abfarid@startrek.website 8 points 7 months ago (1 children)

And if you think that is going to stop me from nitpicking, you're sorely mistaken! 😤

It stood out to me because the rest of the specs are realistic-ish (if we consider that to be 32GB of RAM).

[–] DreamlandLividity@lemmy.world 1 points 7 months ago* (last edited 7 months ago) (1 children)

8TB M.2 SSDs are a thing and you can fit 4 into many high-end motherboards. You can even put them into RAID 0 if you want them to look as a single drive in the OS. Comic does not claim it is a single module.

[–] abfarid@startrek.website 2 points 7 months ago* (last edited 7 months ago) (1 children)

Ok, so you confirm that I'm not mistaken and you can't currently have a single module 16TB SSD? AFAIK, even 8TB is pushing it.

And I treat it as a single module in the comic because it says "16TB SSD" singular, as opposed to something like "16TB worth of SSDs".

[–] DreamlandLividity@lemmy.world 2 points 7 months ago* (last edited 7 months ago)

You can get 16TB, or even more, but not consumer grade, I can confirm that. But I have seen MSI laptops with 2 SSDs in RAID 0 advertised as one number singular in summary, just like in the comic, since it makes no difference to the user.

Funnily enough, the weirder part is actually 25TB HDD. There are 24TB HDDs and even 26TB HDDs but to my knowledge, there is no single module 25TB HDD. And with that capacity, it can't even be any reasonable RAID setup. The only factorization is 5x5 and 5TB HDD are also not really a thing. That number is the nonsensical one.

[–] Psythik@lemmy.world 6 points 7 months ago (2 children)

Also, who the hell measures RAM size in gigabits?

[–] shadowedcross@sh.itjust.works 7 points 7 months ago

People who don't understand the difference between GB and Gb.

"I know I never get it, but the game and dev both say it really is 1 in 4! So surely I should buy this!"

Nope!

🤡

[–] bitjunkie@lemmy.world 7 points 7 months ago (1 children)

This is how I feel playing the more recent Oregon Trail on my similar setup, but that game is zen as FUCK. Man cannot live on Cyberpunk alone.

[–] JackbyDev@programming.dev 1 points 7 months ago

Oh shit, is it? Should I check it out? I could go for some zen!

[–] Ragdoll_X@lemmy.world 7 points 7 months ago* (last edited 7 months ago) (1 children)

Been kind of addicted to this game the past few days. Though so far I've only beaten the red, green, blue and nebula decks.

Edit: Just beat the abandoned deck, but as per usual I cant get past the $7M small blind 🙈

[–] Gerudo@lemm.ee 2 points 7 months ago

You picked it up faster than I did. It took me about a week of daily play to get my first deck win.

[–] mesamunefire@lemmy.world 6 points 7 months ago (1 children)

I recently got balatro working on the pi 4. Its kinda amazing what will run the game :)

No, but you can run Doom on Balatro.

[–] Macaroni_ninja@lemmy.world 6 points 7 months ago

Yes, once you build a new PC, you can only play demanding games! Thats how we all do it

[–] sh__@lemmy.world 5 points 7 months ago (2 children)

I've been curious about the hype for this game. From what I know it seems like a card game like poker. The popularity of it must mean it's quite engaging though.

[–] The_Picard_Maneuver@lemmy.world 7 points 7 months ago* (last edited 7 months ago)

Yeah, it's a lot of fun. It's like poker, but you get to modify your deck and how many chips you earn by drawing special cards between rounds.

The goal is trying to break the game to pass an ever-increasing chips/points threshold. If you fail, your run is over.

[–] MintyFresh@lemmy.world 2 points 7 months ago

I got it on my phone, and it has taken up more of my life than I care to admit. It's similar to slay the spire. Highly recommend to anyone who enjoys strategy games.

[–] Katana314@lemmy.world 5 points 7 months ago (5 children)

On this topic, if someone has just built a new PC, what games would you recommend?

[–] Tja@programming.dev 7 points 7 months ago (1 children)

Settlers of Catan or Carcassonne are two favorites of mine.

[–] Mikrochip@feddit.org 2 points 7 months ago (1 children)

Go is also very nice, though the biggest challenge is finding someone to play with.

[–] Tja@programming.dev 2 points 7 months ago

I've heard this "alpha" guy is eager to play anytime!

[–] 31337@sh.itjust.works 3 points 7 months ago (1 children)

Cyberpunk 2077 is probably still one of the most demanding.

[–] JackbyDev@programming.dev 1 points 7 months ago

I got a new 3070 ti GPU back in like 2022 but my CPU is from 2009 so a lot of stuff has been bottle necked. I got everything but the case for my new computer. It will be here Saturday. I'm so excited!

I'm looking forward to Death Stranding and Helldivers 2 which both physically couldn't run on my CPU because they used instructions made after 2011 or something. Elden Ring wouldn't get more than like 20 to 25 FPS for me. So many little things I'm looking forward to.

I'm hoping they work with Linux, though.

[–] gamermanh@lemmy.dbzer0.com 3 points 7 months ago

Pacific Drive stole 30 hours from me in the last week and a half

[–] Eiri@lemmy.ca 1 points 7 months ago (1 children)

Why not FF7R? The second game is coming soon.

[–] Katana314@lemmy.world 2 points 7 months ago

I may play it when the story is finished - if the reviews for the full thing are positive. Right now I’m too worried they’re making a decade of buildup for a dissatisfying and confusing ending, just like Kingdom Hearts.

I’ve played a demo of Remake on my PlayStation and while I could project whatever conversational voices I wanted from text dialog back with the original, I just can’t mesh with the half-hearted anime dub voices (in either language). And I ultimately play JRPGs for their story. Thanks for the recommendation though.

[–] bitwaba@lemmy.world 1 points 7 months ago

The new Indiana Jones looks fantastic.

Cyberpunk, Witcher 3 got an update to graphics like 2 years ago, Returnal (3rd person shooter rogue lite scifi bullet hell that is fucking beautiful, was a PS5 exclusive but is now available on PC), the Spiderman games, god of war (2018, and the new one), Baulder's Gate 3.

Or uh.... Just install Path of Exile and play that for 3000 hours. I don't know man. You do you.

[–] victorz@lemmy.world 5 points 7 months ago

32 GB RAM. Decent I guess. 🤷‍♂️

Ok but Tetris Effect, fully cranked, 4K, 120.
Now that has got to be an experience.
