Is it unrealistic to expect my laptop to run a game like Layers of Fear fairly smoothly? I tried playing it the other day and it was really having a hard time with it, even when I turned the graphics options to low. Like, slow response to mouse movements and laggy. My laptop’s been running Minecraft and Left 4 Dead 2 just fine (although sometimes the landscape in Minecraft takes a while to catch up, but I can still move around even if the whole ground hasn’t visibly loaded if that makes sense). I know there are ways to optimize a computer for gaming performance, but would that interfere with using it for drawing? Would I need to switch up what it’s optimized for based on what I’m doing, and how complicated would that be?
I know specs are relevant but I don’t know a whole lot about terms or what does what and it gets a bit overwhelming trying to read through discussions on the topic.
If anyone has PC gaming experience and knows more than the bare minimum I’d appreciate any tips.
The Morris worm or Internet worm of November 2, 1988 was one of the first computer worms distributed via the Internet. It was written by a student at Cornell University, Robert Tappan Morris, and launched on November 2, 1988 from MIT.
It’s trapped on a floppy tho this is some dark shit it has been denied its purpose forever bound to this obsolete storage
am i glad it’s in there and we’re out here
people reading fantasy novels ask “why did the ancient ones seal the evil away for ten thousand years instead of just killing it” but then we go ahead and do this shit
We have learned nothing from every fantasy novel ever O.O
The best part, from the wiki article: “According to its creator, the Morris worm was not written to cause damage, but to gauge the size of the Internet.”
It was intended to do good, but the programmer made a mistake and it got out of hand, becoming viral.
that’s right kiddos, they’re trying to use automatic updates to force your computer to upgrade to win 10.
Which would be fine and dandy if every windows user in the world ran a standard operating environment but they fucking don’t and this will break a lot of computers.
To stop this for win 7: Go to your control panel, select Windows Updates. Click on Change Settings. Pick any option you like except ‘install updates automatically’ (Personally I use “download but let me choose” as M$ has a nasty habit of breaking things with unnecessary patches, but then again I know this shit backwards, so YMMV)
If you’re running win XP: Stop punishing yourself.
Signal boost for anyone who might have this option on.
I don’t, but I elected to upgrade my Surface to 10 and have regretted it. No way in hell I’d want it on my desktop machine.
P.S.: fuck Canon also for refusing to make drivers for slightly older printers on Win10. Win10 acts like it has all the answers drivers, but it doesn’t. Even if you want to upgrade, check printer compatibility before you do or you may end up with devices you can’t use with that computer anymore.
There’s also a third party app called GWX Control Panel that you can use to just stop it.
