The thinkpads are probably the closest thing to MacBooks outside of apple, and I guess you could boot Linux on one. Though without knowing what you actually like about MacBooks, I can't really recommend anything in particular
I don't wish for anything right away. I bring that damn lamp to the best lawyer I can find and have him draft up a bulletproof wish that goes to extreme lengths to specify exactly what I want and how I want it, while specifically excluding anything contrary to those interests, and has enforcement of my interests built in.
I mean yeah, decompression is resource intensive, but it's still retarded to say that the goal of it is to overstress your computer, especially considering that any reasonable setup will throttle itself before just burning up
I get why hdcp exists, but why the fuck would apple enable it permanently, for everything? They afraid of people pirating their own desktop or something?
Since I have a new computer, I decided that I wanted to go through katawa shoujo again so I could have the nice completed splash screen "legit" on this machine.
Really the only things I'm seeing in the settings that could get you a few frames are lowering the resolution, and turning shadows down further. Beyond that, the answer is "buy a new computer". The i7 3770 is by no means an impressive processor, and you're putting double duty on it since you don't have a dedicated graphics card.
You're also underclocked compared to the published specs, so I assume you're in a laptop where heat is a major bottleneck as well?
If you're drinking with me, you will be hearing about either a large portion of highly detailed military history, or the premise for a cool magical girl Manga I've been thinking up.
If you play video games, just pick up a game that requires more or less your full attention, or at least active thought, to play. It's really helpful if you need to just quiet your mind for a while and stop your thoughts spiraling out of control. It's not going to solve any of your problems, but it can help get your thoughts in line enough to start working through your feelings.
It's very likely that as a part of whatever existing deal he has with EA, he had to specifically sign some form of non-competition clause that made it so he can't just leave and make "shmalice in shmonderland" and say it's technically distinct, despite being the obvious follow up to the games owned by EA. Greedy? Yeah. But it's not like he didn't know what he was signing up for. There's plenty of other options for publishers out there who are perfectly willing to not give a fuck about your IP, and just want up front cash and/or a cut of sales. The downside being that, unlike someone like EA, theyre going to have a much more limited reach in terms of getting your game on store shelves, and getting ads in front of eyeballs, if they even do that much.
Yeah, here's the thing. I ain't paying for Netflix, and I don't like games-as-a-service in the first place. I barely hold a positive view of xbox gamepass, and thats entirely because it's a cheap way to (legally) play a lot of one-and-done games. This is with Microsoft having access to decades of successful games, and control of major studios and platforms.
A lot of total asset replacement mods and ports require some form of check against a legitimate copy, such that they aren't distributing copies of a game, just a way for people to modify their own copy. It isn't a flawless legal defense, far from it, but it's a whole lot better than just getting hit with "you're just outright distributing a copy of someone else's game"
Why is minimum specs the only one to have a specific intel cpu and ryzen equivalent when every other category is ryzen cpu or Intel equivalent? Is it some convoluted way to throw shade at Intel or something
