You can finally open 3 tabs in chrome.

More than 1 is outrageous.

Horrid Hate Drive could be a band, maybe cybergrind

I swear to god my disk is so hard right now

[–] Pilferjinx@lemmy.world 2 points 5 months ago

Does that imply a Soft Soft Disk

[–] RedditWanderer@lemmy.world 19 points 5 months ago

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

[–] normalexit@lemmy.world 14 points 5 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.

[–] CaptainBasculin@lemmy.ml 5 points 5 months ago (4 children)

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

[–] circuitfarmer@lemmy.sdf.org 9 points 5 months ago

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

[–] WalrusDragonOnABike@reddthat.com 6 points 5 months ago* (last edited 5 months 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.

[–] Psythik@lemmy.world 2 points 5 months 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.

[–] WalrusDragonOnABike@reddthat.com 1 points 5 months 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.

[–] normalexit@lemmy.world 1 points 5 months ago

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.

[–] psmgx@lemmy.world 1 points 5 months ago* (last edited 5 months ago)

Can't speak for them but did a lot of VM and container work for a Master's, and the RAM was useful for that.

[–] psmgx@lemmy.world 1 points 5 months ago

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

[–] Sammy@lemmy.dbzer0.com 12 points 5 months ago (1 children)

"I'm literally a fool, what's your excuse?"

[–] NielsBohron@lemmy.world 6 points 5 months ago* (last edited 5 months ago)

Man, fuck that joker. 😭

[–] kratoz29@lemm.ee 11 points 5 months ago

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.

[–] abfarid@startrek.website 5 points 5 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 11 points 5 months ago (1 children)
[–] abfarid@startrek.website 1 points 5 months ago

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).

[–] Psythik@lemmy.world 4 points 5 months ago (2 children)

Also, who the hell measures RAM size in gigabits?

[–] shadowedcross@sh.itjust.works 6 points 5 months ago

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

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

[–] bravesirrbn@lemmy.world 5 points 5 months ago

Balatro is the new Doom?

[–] Ragdoll_X@lemmy.world 4 points 5 months ago* (last edited 5 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 1 points 5 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.

[–] Macaroni_ninja@lemmy.world 2 points 5 months ago

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

[–] bitjunkie@lemmy.world 1 points 5 months ago

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.

[–] nifty@lemmy.world 1 points 5 months ago

That’s me, but Tetris.

"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!
