And then these same people complain when these games don't get sequels/overseas releases/etc.

piracy only really makes sense if there's no accessible way to play a game. like if you wanna play an old NES game but you don't have an NES and the game costs $45 used then yeah using an emulator would be fine. but if it's a game that is still readily available then there is no reason to pirate it. the 3ds/Wii U eshop will still be up for quite a while so until it goes down I will still frown upon piracy.




I really want a snifit plushie lol, my shy guy plushie is very lonely 😔
 
about to ask a question that Might be stupid to some, but my gaming and pc knowledge is very limited lol.

so, my laptop is cheap because i am poor. it's a 4GB. (don't laugh lol, this cost like £200 or something rip.) game i'm playing runs like butts, no surprise. i have a 1TB external hard drive. would just plugging that in while playing help performance, or would i need to run the game directly off the drive or is it just all pointless? ty to anyone who knows the answer lol.

I posed the question to my friend who's knowledgeable about these sorts of things and this is what he said,

"I don't think plugging it in or running it off the drive would help. I assume 4GB means 4GB of RAM and external memory like a hard drive isn't the same thing as RAM."

I know that doesn't exactly help, but I thought I'd ask him since he's very into computer stuff.

🤷‍♀️ idk, i googled "external hard drive for gaming" or whatever, and the exact one I have came up ajdkvkvk. i couldn't even tell you my laptop specs, so that shows how little i know.

Yeah, I don't know much either to be honest. I do know that my Mac desktop I recently acquired (which isn't really meant for games) has 4GB of RAM, and it would need 8GB to be able to run some things I want to on it. I hope that's not the case for you, but if it is, you would probably need something with more RAM.

I'm asking him if there's a way to upgrade a system's RAM. I thought there is, but I'm not sure what the price range is for that compared to just getting a new system.

I mean Nintendo kind of self-fulfills this since most of their games can't be obtained unless you want to pay collector price. Nintendo has the power to make their NSO membership games have such a better selection, but they just cherry-pick one or two every so many months. And then they give us titles no one even asked for like Spanky's Quest lol.

But I get what you're saying. If it's available at a reasonable retail price we should support the company.

internal/external storage isn't the same thing as RAM, if you want your computer to have better performance you'll need to upgrade the RAM. upgrading is pretty easy with a desktop, but idk how easy it is with a laptop. perhaps searching for a video on youtube would help. you'll also need to figure out what the max RAM your laptop supports is. at least with a desktop it's honestly as easy as taking off the shell, removing the old RAM card, and putting the new one in.
 
Ugh had to settle for some rice instant noodles today and the spice was A+ bland and boring ... I mean if you're making it originally for gluten free people at least you can make it good lol
