That's what you get for making apps with fucking Electron, aka "a Chrome browser that only opens a single website"
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
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.
Not going to trade Valve for Amazon. Valve contributes so much to the Linux ecosystem
Huh, didn't know it was available for windows.
Also I resent it being called "native" when it's made with electron
Welcome to 2023 where native means a webpage in an embedded browser.
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.
nvme doesn't have to be m.2 right? I swear I've seen 2.5" nvme drives.
Correct
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.
Miss me with that DRM shit platform
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!
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.
Easy fix! Simply do not open the epic games launcher ever again (and uninstall it while you're at it)
MacBook Pro M2 Max feels lol, it's got a lot of power in theory but almost no software puts it to use.
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.
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?
I've never noticed it being slow. Steam takes longer to launch for me and constantly wants to run in the background and download updates.
I don't like either one tbh. Launchers are silly to me.
What is 'Epic Games Launcher'
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.
Everyone gets it wrong with the RAM 🤦.
How so?
I do note it is a weird ratio of CPU cores to memory in this meme 🧐
That was my point. 32 cores with 32GB of RAM should be a crime.
i got 32gb ram. today i needed to download more. https://github.com/Overv/vramfs
tf firefox needs more than 32gbs for compiling (actually linking but whatever)
What’s the OP? Why has credit been removed?
