#installed on an ssd

[corrienteallita]

Loading my game to play the new event...

Can't just play the game can I? No, got to faff with it to make the damn thing work.

NOT IN THE MOOD.

Back to Stardew Valley until I find the patience for faffery.

Oh hey, the system requirements for BG3 got updated: The game now needs to be installed on a SSD, even under minimum requirements.

Edit after release: The game is playable even on a HDD, I can confirm this myself. There even is a setting to compensate for the lack of reading speed (although some textures still take some time to load sometimes). In their launch preparation post Larian say they "highly recommend" playing with a SSD, though. I am very glad it's not a hard requirement!

well, the art for fallin down with the punkish lens may have to wait a bit.. frankly, anzu has had a hard time coming up with an idea of a composition for it.. but besides that, anzu has been having major issues with anzu's laptop. anzu draws on a phone so its not stopping this, however it does stress anzu out a lot

got a new laptop on sale yayy 😎 hopefully a zoom meeting will no longer threaten to wipe out my whole machine

I think microsoft should be burned to the ground for a lot of reasons, but my reason of the moment is that they won't stop harassing me to upgrade to windows 11, which I can't do without reinstalling 10 in a different format because of a decision I arbitrarily made when first setting my computer up two years before 11 was even announced

new ssd has led me to wonderful joys (installing fedora and arch on them)

[weirderscience]

i recently got a new pc only to just hook up my old drives to it and run the same install of windows 10 which is really funny of me. i just formatted my brand new 2tb ssd with a fresh install of win 11 like it was nothing. idgaf

hahahahaha guess who now owns its first proper, good, actually-works PC in four years fuckerssss

Insane to me that games like BG3 and Veilguard are, as standalone games, larger than THE ENTIRE MASS EFFECT TRILOGY

this is historically the cleanest and most organized my desktop has ever been LOL

my beautiful wife......

my friend who's fixing my computer caught my flu 😭

...I think I just impulse bought a 1tb hdd

which, considering that I've been using a refurb dell laptop that can't even run win 11 and shipped with a 250gb ssd, isn't much of an impulse

as one of the internet olds the idea that i need a terabyte of anything feels preposterous, I played the first two Baldur's Gate on a tower with a 1.6gb hdd and could have gotten by with 1gb and I think yes, we have more stuff, but is it 1000 times more stuff? It doesn't really feel like it

i finally ordered a new pc today 🥳 i'm not looking forward to setting everything up but my current one is starting to drive me insane

benchmark varha has arrived

not mad at it tbh, like now her vanilla face is fine? i don't love it but it's fine, i don't think this is visually jarring to the point I'll have to wait for mods to come back before i play :p wish i was able to see how the actual vanilla hair i use looks, but it's lyse's hair and the benchmark only had the basic choices. ive still got a fantasia in my inventory i might use to adjust some stuff later on, but overall yeah, im fine with this. i think the biggest improvement overall would be the jaw options, like im actually allowed to have some facial structure this time around. also i genuinely forgot how fucking Big the keeper pupils were hjgdf

i Do miss my hair & eyes already but im sure the mods will be up & running soon enough after the full release lmao + it's not like i won't be able to re-watch cutscenes later anyway

& just for fun here's a comparison between the three versions. new, old, modded in that order. not like,,, the best shots probably lmao, but i think you can see what i mean about the face shape. i don't know if the skintone itself has been altered or if it's just a side effect of the lighting changes either.
