yeah, even though I'm still shit at tf2 it's fun

 

[Razer]

its not like I was ever great at it

 

[VintagePC]

not in the least because it actually runs well on hardware from 2013 lol

 

[VintagePC]

I used to play it on the integrated graphics on my laptop

 

[VintagePC]

because there's no stupid cosmetics everywhere

 

[Razer]

FFN days, I was playing it on an overclocked core2-dua with a 7600gts.

 

[Razer]

I literally tossed that hardware in the recycle bin yesterday.

 

[VintagePC]

try modern tf2 on that and it'll basically be a smoking crater now

 

[Razer]

and now, I'm saving to replace teh machine that replaced teh Core2

 

[VintagePC]

I've been fortunate, we ended up clearing out a lot of ewaste at work

 

[VintagePC]

was some stuff in there that was ~4-5 years old but still a fine upgrade for me

 

[Razer]

Yeah, I had a run of socond-handing teh upgrades, but the core game machine has hit its limits and needs replaced.

 

[Razer]

end of an era, as well, last windows machine.

 

[Razer]

My alt game machine is linux, and 95% of my steam lib plays just fine over there

 

[VintagePC]

it's surprising how well that's come along what with protonlib and other things like wine

 

[Razer]

Yeah, some of the wine stuff has gotten a LOT of advancement in the last decade, and proton & Vulkan really push it out there,

 

[Razer]

I actually get better average FPS on linux , with the same hardware

 

[VintagePC]

It's impressively close to being able to run a full fledged CAD package too

 

[Razer]

and the hardware makers are noticing how many gamers are moving to linux

 

[VintagePC]

we've all had enough of the microsoft kool-aid lol
