Horrid Hate Drive could be a band, maybe cybergrind

I swear to god my disk is so hard right now

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 month ago

Does that imply a Soft Soft Disk

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 month ago

Hard Hard Disk Plus, if you don't mind.

You can finally open 3 tabs in chrome.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 month ago

More than 1 is outrageous.

[–] [email protected] 37 points 1 month ago

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

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.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 month ago (4 children)

Damn, 64GB? Let me guess, you use CAD software for your work?

[–] [email protected] 12 points 1 month ago

I also have 64GB, and it is used exclusively for internet tabs

[–] [email protected] 9 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago) (1 children)

Also have 64GB and its mostly just because my last build had 32GB DDR3 RAM, so I wanted number go up. And microcenter bundle.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 month ago (1 children)

You're just ahead of the curve cause my DDR3 system originally had 8GB of DDR3, later upgraded to 16GB. Skipped DDR4 entirely and went straight to 32GB of DDR5 6000 in my current system.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 month ago

Mine originally had 16GB, but with DDR4's replacement of it, prices eventually dropped quite a bit. And I was playing a game with a really bad memory leak issue and poor optimization, so it the 32gb was actually useful.

I use docker to run a number of containers and sometimes play around with ollama.

I certainly don't see much activity in my swap.

Man, fuck that joker. 😭

[–] [email protected] 11 points 1 month ago (2 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.

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

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).

Also, who the hell measures RAM size in gigabits?

[–] shadowedcross 7 points 1 month 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!

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.

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 🙈

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 month ago

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

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 month ago

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

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 month ago (1 children)

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

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 month ago (1 children)

No, but you can run Doom on Balatro.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 month ago

32 GB RAM. Decent I guess. 🤷‍♂️

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 month ago (6 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.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month 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.

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

[–] [email protected] 7 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Settlers of Catan or Carcassonne are two favorites of mine.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 month ago (1 children)

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

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 month ago

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

[–] 31337 3 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Cyberpunk 2077 is probably still one of the most demanding.

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