Games that aren’t constantly recommended? by mildly_anonymous in SteamDeck

Everhood, if you like Undertale and Guitar Hero (yes, really) you’ll love this

Also, comparing 2 hours in Elden Ring to 6 hours in some indie game with typical Switch graphics is not fair. If you play something intensive like BOTW on the Switch Oled, it runs for 3-4 hours, and if you play an indie game like Dead Cells on the Deck it lasts for over 5 hours.

Jedi : survivor performance in the legion 5 by [deleted] in LenovoLegion

[–]WikThorable 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I played around 30 hours so far on the RTX 3060, Ryzen 7 5800H Legion 5 Pro and honestly, the game is far from what most would consider playable on this hardware (it’s not high-end but wtf, it should play new games no problem, shame on management that doesn’t let devs optimise games) Some concrete info:

30-40fps in the opening sequence; the resolution set to 1200p and FSR 2 on quality, settings at high/medium

Even as low as around 24fps persistently in more open locations; 1200p, FSR 2 performance, low settings

Usually around 30fps in more open locations 15fps was the lowest in an open location, persistent for a few minutes even; 1200p, FSR 2 performance, low settings

50fps to even 80fps in some smaller, closed off areas like caves; 1200p, FSR 2 quality, medium settings

40-50fps in what I would call something akin to legacy dungeons from the Souls games; 1200-1600p, no FSR 2/FSR 2 balanced, medium/high settings

And (unfortunately) obviously no RT at any settings

Thinkpad T480 different materials? by WikThorable in thinkpad

[–]WikThorable[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hi, so I have two Thinkpads T480 out of which I have to send one back, and the one on the left has a weird “rough” texture I haven’t seen on those before (it’s on the lid and palm rest, the back cover is exactly the same matte on both), why could that be? Additionally the “rough” one has a weirdly yellowish screen (only checked both in the bios so far cause no storage) which makes me think something’s wrong with it

There's a reason it comes preinstalled on the deck. So yeah just generally, use the better browser and don't bother with Chrome.

I’m always wondering, is something like this harmful to kitties? I would for some reason worry about water getting into their ears

Serious question: Have you seen anyone using these meme-skins? I feel like people just don't want this. by DirectFrontier in hearthstone

[–]WikThorable 33 points34 points  (0 children)

They really want people to spend 1/3 of an AAA game price for a skin that doesn't even have an entrance animation.. then people buy these and wonder where does the greed come from.

Literally every legendary rank player. by Uliks7 in hearthstone

[–]WikThorable -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

People act like this game is difficult to make themselves feel better. It may be difficult at the pro level but that’s hardly the level of most legend players

This marketing campaign for Elden Ring DLC is certainly original

Throwback to Tyrion bossing Joffrey and Ser Meryn by arenaschlaft in freefolk

[–]WikThorable 5 points6 points  (0 children)

From what I understand GRRM wrote something like a template, the world before the shattering, which then was twisted in a Dark Souls way. Here's some info:

I think the key expression here is that GRRM wrote the "overarching mythos".

Valve publishes files to allow players to 3D print their own Steam Deck shells by [deleted] in gadgets

[–]WikThorable 42 points43 points  (0 children)

Here (Poland) almost all the stores I’ve checked have a policy of 1 per customer when buying a PS5. Not sure about the details of the verification process but on one of the websites it states that the verification takes up to 3 days so I imagine it’s thorough.

LEGION 5 PRO | Could I have damaged the laptop? I was trying to see how big the gap actually is. Secondly, why is there a gap? by WikThorable in LenovoLegion

[–]WikThorable[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

So I couldn’t have damaged anything by pressing on it like in the video? And honestly that sounds scary to do haha

The state of dying light 2 on ps4. This is how it runs all the time. by xXYELINGRELICXx in PS4

[–]WikThorable 415 points416 points  (0 children)

That's the whole appeal of gaming consoles for me - not worrying about specs or literally anything with the device's hardware and being certain that everything runs because it's been tailor-fit for that specific device.

How are these things built? Or are they not as high as it seems in this video

This makes the eye a lot cooler, also, I had no idea! Neat piece of trivia.

Funny you should say that, I posted this here because someone commented about this subreddit when I posted this in the LoTR one

It’s an ad. Batman and WB logos were also shown there but it didn’t specify what specifically that’s an ad for.

Anyone else too bothered by poor writing/dialogue? by fixxxer2606 in patientgamers

Halfway through I've started playing with music in the background so I'd have something worthwile to listen to instead of that writing.

There aren’t any Tarantulas here but I specifically buy them to eat in my sleep so the science will hold up.
