I totally agree with FOMO being present in Forza Motorsport, even more than in FH5.

However, it's not what dragged me away from the game; the lack of an open multiplayer lobbies list did. There are only locked, closed multiplayer lobbies and public lobbies with defined events that last a couple days. I just want to browse what to race, apply filters etc.

I'm with you there.

Something filmed originally in 16:9 or 16:10 but pasted in portrait mode, using only 1/3 of the screen. Even if you flip your phone sideways, the video is even smaller. GAHHHHHHHH.

Definitely Dofus back then (2005-2010), Minecraft Survival Mode after that (2012-2020) and now it's Grim Dawn.

I thoroughly enjoyed the first Watch Dogs and that's about it. Having to get through their launcher sucks big time, yes.

Already troubleshooted the hell out of it to no avail. It is a ViewSonic Omni monitor.

I'm pretty sure it is.

However, when using a DP cable, my GPU disables itself if the computer is left unattended for 20ish minutes. Moving the mouse, using the keyboard, turning the monitor on and off, nothing is displayed once it shuts down even if I hear music/apps/games running.

Without changing any settings, using a HDMI cable solves that problem.

I'm gaming at QHD/120fps so a HDMI cable is plenty for the task.

We can still shout it.

Gimme an R! Gimme an S! Gimme a Rock. And. Stone!

Sadly, they won't change the naming scheme as more naive people still buy in the "micro" aspect of the name.

Those two issues are normal in the gaming laptop world.

My Zephyrus G14 reaches 80°C on both the GPU and CPU, they're not made to be running at ice-cold temperatures. I got it in late 2021 and it still runs like it's brand new, even with high temps in AAA games.

Gaming laptop are made to be used while plugged in, on the move. You CAN play games on the battery but it's perfectly normal that it drains faster than a soda bottle found by a toddler. If you use it on the battery to do light work (database, IDE, YT, Facebook etc.), there are battery modes that will disable the GPU and use the integrated graphics. I get up to 8 hours from light tasking on mine.

Enjoy your new acquisition!

He's a doctor in an ICU unit. Our job just doesn't let us play at work (and it's a good thing).

Thanks for your answer!

I like it the way it is, even if the number of weekly/monthly posts has drastically dropped recently.

However, it is not happening only on PC Gaming; most redditors who left Reddit following the 3rd party apps closure backlash are going back there anyway. My province's Lemmy community (New-Brunswick) hasn't seen a new post/thread in the last fifty-ish days.

I know that I should do more to keep the communities I participate in alive but I'm still getting used to Lemmy/Jerboa.

Bottom line, PC Gaming is doing alright. Thanks for your work!

About Pokemon, there's a studio (Crema) who made a Pokemon-like game called Temtem. Different mechanics (stamina instead of PP, 2vs2 instead of 1vs1 etc). I'm in my second playthrough and I can guarantee there are going to be plenty more. I'd check that out.
