Oh no, I remember exactly how to do it and just about everything else I need to do with computers. I went on to get a useless degree in computer science, you see. I just don't want to play games on office productivity equipment unless I absolutely can't get them on a console.

I know I made the right choice, because tech support chat still exists everywhere, it's inescapable. It's always something. *gestures upthread*

I don't have any degree but your boomer rear end seems to transcend time and space. "Playing games is easier on a games console" might be the hottest take ever.

Does setting your external display to mirror rather than extend your primary display fix this issue?

My laptop actually doesn't even acknowledge the TV is there. When I go to set up a new monitor it just says "no secondary display detected" but it shows up on my TV when I plug in an HDMI. It just doesn't look too hot.

My guess would be your laptop's screen resolution is 1080p or less and when you run it on your (I assume) 4K TV it switched the resolution to 3840 x 2160 and now is trying to render quadruple pixels.

haldolium posted:

maybe your laptops igpu is now doing the output? use metric displays to check for utilization etc. check driver settings.

MSI AB + RTSS are great for troubleshooting issues or have a general idea on what is going on.

Thanks. Gonna look into this.

It’s kind of crazy how much I loved Star Wars for so long and now do not care at all. I don’t hate it, I’m just not interested or even aware of what’s going on with it. Fallen Order was cool though.

Idris Elba shouldn't play Knuckles in the new sonic movie, Knuckles should be Australian because Echidnas are iconic native Australian animals.

Then you play Sekiro at native 4K/120 fps on an OLED with literally six total milliseconds of input lag and near instant pixel response and you just immediately “get it” the first time you parry something and it’s like your controller is an extension of your very soul

At the time Final Fantasy was in all likelihood the last game Square was going to make which is why it was called Final Fantasy, so I dont know how there being a sequel or not would effect how well Final Fantasy was received (it was a hit)

The true og starcraft online experience was griefing ppl, usually having a buddy to team up against ppl in use map settings games or my personal favourite: start on opposing sides of a 2v2 match and switch your allegiances at an opportune moment to blow both your "opponents" out before either knows wtf is going on

What is a good turn based games that is not FF or Chrono trigger? I really enjoyed Advance Wars games. I played old school XCom and was raped so hard I never played again. Hows the new one?

I played Into The Breach and it was amazing but rogue-like games are loving terrible.

Actually, there's my unpopular opinion, rogue-like games are horrible. They're usually combined with random generated levels which are a poor substitute for good fashion level design. Every game can be improved with good levels + a story. Rogue-like game remove both, things and lack a cohesive story and progression.

Why the gently caress are they so popular.

FF: Tactics (and Ogre: Tactics) are excellent games if you liked the cute-but-serious style of Advance Wars. They are not FF in any way but unfortunate name.

Newer XCOM games are much more forgiving, but do so behind the scenes. They're very pretty and flow nicely, there's a reason they sold well and have excellent reviews.

Rogue-lite games are a terrible fad, much like card/deck games are currently, that missed the entire point of their predecessors and just aped a vogue mechanic. Most things that tag themselves as such should be viewed with suspicion, I agree. Actual roguelikes are still thriving, but they're a really obtuse/esoteric genre.

Pretending that marginally better performance in a video game is a transcendental experience is the true pinnacle of stupid PC gaming cultism.
