!gaming is a community for gaming noobs through gaming aficionados. Unlike !games, we don’t take ourselves quite as serious. Shitposts and memes are welcome.
Our Rules:
1. Keep it civil.
Attack the argument, not the person. No racism/sexism/bigotry. Good faith argumentation only.
2. No sexism, racism, homophobia, transphobia or any other flavor of bigotry.
I should not need to explain this one.
3. No bots, spam or self-promotion.
Only approved bots, which follow the guidelines for bots set by the instance, are allowed.
4. Try not to repost anything posted within the past month.
Beyond that, go for it. Not everyone is on every site all the time.

Alright. So I’m going to give this a shot tomorrow when I get home, after reading it a couple more times and mentally preparing.
Thing is with this computer is that I’ve had it since before Covid. I was already looking at parts anyway. It’s a hoopty.
Cool! reply/PM or whatever if you have questions, possibly multiple times since Lemmy sometimes misses notifications, heh.
And I don’t mean to shoot down the possibility of new parts! This is just a good workaround for overheating, far beyond what FPS limiting will net you. And it’s honestly a good thing to do on any hardware you may have, as it saves power and extends its life.
Yeah for sure. This is a new thing for me to learn. If it can extend the life of this computer I can use it for work/experiment with alternative operating systems xD. And be able to use it again for gaming? Win/win.
*I do feel like I play BG3 wrong and that’s why I can’t finish it. I’ve never formed a single relationship with any of the party members XD
Yeah, relationships were weird on my one run. I think I accidentally turned Will down after accidentally pursuing him, and never got the door to any of the others?
