I got Max Max on steam for $5 a few years ago. Worth it.

I typically buy all the "best game of the year" games at steep discounts. Some of them really embrace a "live" game service and require hundreds of hours a season, which isn't my thing.

But my most played game last year was Vampire Survivors, A single player game that looks like it came from the SNES era.

Vampire Survivors is so much better than it has any right to be. It's a great way to kill time if I have my Steam Deck around.

I'm happy with a 17" laptop, though I'm having to use a usb keyboard. Also playing a game from 2015, Rebel Galaxy. Nothing really stands out, but it's interesting enough for my tastes.

I was so anti gaming laptop for years but my wife swears by them. I think I just got burned from crappy laptops around the 2000s - 2010s, because her latest laptop is a beast. Not to mention most PC games aren't trying to push to cutting edge specs anymore.

So I've turned around and I think gaming laptops are great!

I can relate. For a long time, I was all about a tower desktop, because I could upgrade it as needed. Last one I had I built in 2014, but didn't upgrade it in any capacity until 2017, when I gave it to my brother. If I wanted a better graphics card, I'd have to get a new PSU, and I also needed a better screen over my then 12 year old, 15" LCD screen. I didn't buy anything new outright as I was short on cash, so I spent the next 2 years using a laptop I bought back in 2012, which even played Fallout 4 on medium! That time with it really made me appreciate the form factor and portability

I moved to towers for the same reason years ago, but I basically never do major component swaps like I thought I would.

I've since realized that having a tower is really nice for other things though, namely maintenance and cleaning/airflow. My rtx 2060 seemed like it was on its way out a year ago (thermal throttling, even on way lower settings than it used to be able to run just fine), so I took it apart and replaced the thermal paste. Runs better than when I first got it. Got some new case fans recently as well and the whole thing runs cooler, quieter, and they use less power than my stock ones, which is nice.

Obviously the thermal paste thing applies to laptops as well, but laptops can be very tough to get open and dig around in.

Rebel galaxy is awesome. Broadside combat with a smile. I hope you're enjoying it.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 4 months ago

It's an ok game, I think the first and biggest letdown is the 2D movement. While broadsides are fun, automatic turrets are taking care of everything for me so I only need to keep turning around to keep shields up.

The rage-inducing MOBA’s what? Real cliffhanger at the end of this meme.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 4 months ago

I read this in Steve Austin’s voice

The DoTAs and League of Legends kinda games.

Never understood the appeal honestly.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 4 months ago

They were joking about the apostrophe in MOBA's

I also hate that the grammatical standard for all cap pluralization is to include an apostrophe. What is it the Oakland A's possess!?

[–] [email protected] 3 points 4 months ago* (last edited 4 months ago) (2 children)

It’s not the standard tho. Every style guide says this is an error it with the optional exception of single-character capital letters …such as Oakland A’s.
