AAAWH and she looks so sad now. Not cool at all guys.
LET THE BIGOTS GAME 😭
AGAB (all g*mers are bigots)
Gaming laptops are a sham anyway. You are lugging a hunk of a laptop everywhere, on which you'll play games only in your home.
Like everything in this world, I think it's situation dependent.
I traveled for work, and would live out of a hotel room for 4-5 weeks at a time. I have a gaming laptop that doesn't fit in the bin while going through TSA. Always got comments about it. But damn, if I didn't love setting it up in my hotel room and leaving it there during my tour and being able to play some games during my evenings.
It was WELL worth it!
Every time I've ever owned a non gpu laptop, it's like I've always had to bring along either another laptop or a gaming console when on longer term trips or temporary moves. I don't care that gaming laptops are 0.2 inches thicker which somehow makes them 100% impractical to most people. I'd rather only have to bring 1 device with me.
Yeah, I used to work a job where I was basically on call for 6 hours at a time, but didn’t need to do much unless something broke. I’d help set things up at the top of the day then tear things down at the end. But in between, I was basically just waiting for things to break. It’s safe to say that I used the fuck out of my gaming laptop and VPN at my desk. Because I obviously didn’t want to try playing games on a company computer.
I played a lot of single player and idle games at that job, because those are easy to walk away from at a moment’s notice. Just hit pause and you can give your full attention to whatever problem has popped up. Then once it’s resolved, you’re right back where you left off.
We have the best new scanners (I think they are CT scanners) at our airport. You don't have to take out anything anymore since their new scanners can scan it anyways, somehow. Apparently you can also take any amount of fluid with you and you just keep it in your bag, which is neat.
I too used mine as a backup. I don't have a working one atm, but technically my steamdeck works for most of the games I'd want to keep up with, if a bit harder to use. I can even do ffxiv, though definitely less skilled using the steamdeck. I might try with a dock and my 8bitdo controller and see how that feels (already have both, but haven't really tested it since I use that controller for switch instead).
if you move or travel often they're the best, just a flat device & cable instead of an entire box the size of a dog, a monitor and a bunch of cables.
Well sure, but now that spot could be in bed or a recliner. I do almost all my gaming with a steamdeck, now. Busy adult life requires this convenient bit of gaming hardware.
Youre not wrong but i had a job for awhile where i had about one day's worth of work (if i busted my butt) to do over 2 glorious, unsupervised days. Their IT was slackass too. They had their own machines on lock but i could bring my own in and look at reddit, porn, whatever.
I hated my job, really hated my boss, but i never got paid to fuck off quite as hard as i did there so I look back on those times warmly.
RIP mjollnir
That's not being slackass. You bringing in a machine to watch porn on is your supervisor's problem, not IT's.
I was told multiple places that the only thing they wanted filtered was malware sites. They have a C-level who wants to watch porn but don't want to pay for someone to set up access groups? Don't want to pay or give time to have someone lock down the network? Not my monkey, not my circus.
Of course it's come a long way since I was doing it. Those things took time. Now you just set up your access list based on directory services groups and click a few buttons. But it's still not my problem.
they are nice if when going on holidays. although now that I'm carrying a 17 inch 3kg laptop to college and back every day it can be a bit annoying.
I have one, but don't use it for gaming.
I do underwater photography and mapping, and I need it for Reality Capture.
She wanted to play in court though.
I having a gaming laptop. 13 inch Razer blase stealth.
I bought it for the GPU and its compact size.
Let's me do some hash cracking while at work, though if its some serious work I'll boot into Linux on my gaming rig and do it there, but I don't like to tie it down when I could be playing games.
As I get older and older I have less and leas free time.
What's the backstory here?
A few days ago one of his lawyers was using a Republic of Gamers RGB-enabled gaming laptop, and everyone started pointing it out https://knowyourmeme.com/memes/donald-trump-gaming-laptop
So she showed up in court yesterday without a computer, sticking to a pad and paper ( ft.com link https://archive.is/rHUMJ )
Sort of cyberbullied in to not using her cool machine.
It's still irrelevant but you have to be really dumb to agree to represent Trump as a lawyer..'

I mean Rudy is still waiting to get paid for his lawyer fees by trump.
"a cool machine" does not fit Trump's manufactured fantasy of representing "the republican everyman against the elites", you see. His low information electorate doesn't know what a gaming pc is, and wouldn't trust anyone who has one, just because they are dirt dumb and like it that way.
