That's what you get for making apps with fucking Electron, aka "a Chrome browser that only opens a single website"

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 year ago (1 children)

What makes me confused is that the epic games website is a lot quicker than their app. I reckon they’re not using electron and maybe are using something much worse. Not sure if it was a joke but long ago I’ve heard someone suggesting it was actually unreal engine and not electron

Giga chads use heroic launcher instead ;)

Now also supports Amazon Games. Get it while it's hot.

what the hell is amazon games

[–] [email protected] 11 points 1 year ago (6 children)

I had a chuckle at this because I know Amazon has a game division but for the life of me I can't think of a single game they have.

[–] [email protected] 10 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Not going to trade Valve for Amazon. Valve contributes so much to the Linux ecosystem

Heroic Games Launcher

https://heroicgameslauncher.com/

Available on Linux, MacOS and Windows :)

[–] [email protected] 37 points 1 year ago (3 children)

Huh, didn't know it was available for windows.

Also I resent it being called "native" when it's made with electron

[–] [email protected] 33 points 1 year ago

Welcome to 2023 where native means a webpage in an embedded browser.

[–] [email protected] 12 points 1 year ago (1 children)

It's a cool project, but it's certainly not native (and despite what the other comment says, even in 2023, Electron apps are not native 😅)

I swear everyone on lemmy is a late 30s programmer. Kind of like reddit was I guess (but older...)

Calling out the bulkiest NVME drive I've ever seen.

[–] [email protected] 15 points 1 year ago (3 children)

nvme doesn't have to be m.2 right? I swear I've seen 2.5" nvme drives.

Maybe it's a u.2 or u.3 nvme Enterprise drive?

Maybe it's 2x1TB in a casing

That's what happens when you make a basic GUI in a freaking game engine.

Yeah I know you want to demo your game engine, but I don't need you to demo thermal throttling on my processor.

[–] [email protected] 12 points 1 year ago (3 children)

Lmao what? EGL uses unreal?

Miss me with that DRM shit platform

[–] [email protected] 7 points 1 year ago (3 children)

Again with that bullshit?

https://www.pcgamingwiki.com/wiki/List_of_DRM-free_games_on_Epic_Games_Store

As if Steam doesn't sell games with DRM... Oh wait, they make their own DRM!

[–] [email protected] 8 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I think they really refer to the feeling it gives off. Like that uplay client you are forced to use even though you bought the Ubisoft game on steam. Epic just feels like a ball and chain.

Everyone gets it wrong with the RAM 🤦.

[–] [email protected] 15 points 1 year ago (2 children)

How so?

I do note it is a weird ratio of CPU cores to memory in this meme 🧐

[–] [email protected] 8 points 1 year ago (1 children)

That was my point. 32 cores with 32GB of RAM should be a crime.

[–] [email protected] 9 points 1 year ago (3 children)

The real crime is not having 32TB drive to go with it.

MacBook Pro M2 Max feels lol, it's got a lot of power in theory but almost no software puts it to use.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 1 year ago

I make use of my 16gb m1 by just never closing anything, ever. I have photoshop, 3 browsers, discord, and Shogun 2 total war open in the background. I feel like I'm getting my money's worth this way.

[–] [email protected] 10 points 1 year ago (2 children)

I know this is a meme but is it really that slow? Tried it like a years ago and I remember it being pretty slow for me.

Is heroic games launcher a faster, lightweight, feature-rich alternative?

Easy fix! Simply do not open the epic games launcher ever again (and uninstall it while you're at it)

What’s the OP? Why has credit been removed?

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 year ago

Same thing I've seen past 60 days with Lemmy. The major sites throwing massive hardware. "Wow, Lemmy now deletes a single post in 7 seconds".

What is 'Epic Games Launcher'

[–] [email protected] 11 points 1 year ago (2 children)

Isn't it the thing that gives out free games that you never play, every now and then?

You are going to feel stupid when I tell you, but it’s the “Launcher” for “Epic Games”.

I don’t game, but I installed it once to play around with Unreal Engine once. The meme is quite accurate.
