That’s what you get for making apps with fucking Electron, aka “a Chrome browser that only opens a single website”

Doesn’t Discord also use something similar?

What makes me confused is that the epic games website is a lot quicker than their app. I reckon they’re not using electron and maybe are using something much worse. Not sure if it was a joke but long ago I’ve heard someone suggesting it was actually unreal engine and not electron
It IS unreal engine
Huh, someone else here said it uses Unreal engine
Huh, I always thought it was Electron, because I’ve had an older version of EGS show some fonts in super low res, much like Discord did, which is a known bug with Electron and hardware acceleration
You know those ad banners you get on mobile? What do you think they run on
Ad… banners? I haven’t seen an ad on my phone in years.
My phone, duh.
Ad banners? I haven’t seen one since forever. I have no idea what you are even talking about.
That’s probably mostly Flutter, which is slightly different scope, though still Google
Nah most ad networks run full browsers
Silicon and gold
No idea what you’re talking about
Giga chads use heroic launcher instead ;)
Now also supports Amazon Games. Get it while it’s hot.
what the hell is amazon games
I had a chuckle at this because I know Amazon has a game division but for the life of me I can’t think of a single game they have.
Not going to trade Valve for Amazon. Valve contributes so much to the Linux ecosystem
What do you mean? I certainly won’t be using Amazon gaming services for anything.
new world I think? The mmo that was supposed to kill [insert mmo] but then was kinda bad
They also made another MMO, free to play, can’t for the life of me remember what it’s called.
Also can we just talk about how generic of a name New World is? Like, I wouldn’t be surprised to find half a dozen other MMOs from the 2000s with that name.
Huh, didn’t know it was available for windows.
Also I resent it being called “native” when it’s made with electron
Welcome to 2023 where native means a webpage in an embedded browser.
It’s a cool project, but it’s certainly not native (and despite what the other comment says, even in 2023, Electron apps are not native 😅)
I swear everyone on lemmy is a late 30s programmer. Kind of like reddit was I guess (but older…)
If an Electron feels faster than the EGS app then boy…
Been installing all of my GOG and Epic titles on Nobara with this! Super easy. Just select the Proton version you have installed and you’re good to go!
Calling out the bulkiest NVME drive I’ve ever seen.
nvme doesn’t have to be m.2 right? I swear I’ve seen 2.5" nvme drives.
Correct
Maybe it’s a u.2 or u.3 nvme Enterprise drive?
Certainly could be
The size of Warzone 2 makes it physically inflate.
Maybe it’s 2x1TB in a casing
Maybe it’s just one, and the casing works as cooler
Looks like an icydock sled
That’s what happens when you make a basic GUI in a freaking game engine.
Yeah I know you want to demo your game engine, but I don’t need you to demo thermal throttling on my processor.
That’s the perfect example of “Just use what your Developer know”.
Just because you can write something in a established technology doesn’t mean you should.
Miss me with that DRM shit platform
Everyone gets it wrong with the RAM 🤦.
How so?
I do note it is a weird ratio of CPU cores to memory in this meme 🧐
That was my point. 32 cores with 32GB of RAM should be a crime.
The real crime is not having 32TB drive to go with it.
I don’t think they make 32TB drives… do they 🤔?
a quick search revealed https://www.servethehome.com/32tb-micron-9400-is-a-beast-pcie-gen4-nvme-ssd/
Wow, who knew…
maybe they’re running a weird dual socket opteron setup
They also didn’t mention the clock speed so probably put no consideration into that either.
Side note: Open up task manager and make sure the RAM clock speed matches the one advertised on the box. If not you may have to override in the BIOS. May cause crashing and if so just lower it a setting at a time until it’s stable, it won’t damage your computer.
Don’t just manually adjust the speed, use XMP/DOCP/whatever your board/CPU manufacturer calls it (unless you know what you’re doing or are fine with crashes)
Yeah, yeah, I know, I work in IT 😂.
I imagined as much, was meant to be a PSA since a surprising number of people who pay extra for high-speed RAM have no idea to even check if it’s running full speed.
Yeah, to be honest, that is true. My colleagues don’t check that either and cosider themselves experts 😒… that’s OK, I just avoid conversations with them cuz they get lost when we do make converstaion… and then the conversation dies down anyway.
it’s just a stupid meme bro
MacBook Pro M2 Max feels lol, it’s got a lot of power in theory but almost no software puts it to use.
I make use of my 16gb m1 by just never closing anything, ever. I have photoshop, 3 browsers, discord, and Shogun 2 total war open in the background. I feel like I’m getting my money’s worth this way.
I know this is a meme but is it really that slow? Tried it like a years ago and I remember it being pretty slow for me.
Is heroic games launcher a faster, lightweight, feature-rich alternative?
Heroic is definitely faster. Though it’s buggy at times
I’ve never noticed it being slow. Steam takes longer to launch for me and constantly wants to run in the background and download updates.
I don’t like either one tbh. Launchers are silly to me.
Easy fix! Simply do not open the epic games launcher ever again (and uninstall it while you’re at it)

What’s the OP? Why has credit been removed?
i got 32gb ram. today i needed to download more. https://github.com/Overv/vramfs
tf firefox needs more than 32gbs for compiling (actually linking but whatever)
It depends on your linker. By default, Firefox appears to use the LLD linker. There is a faster one available, which runs perfectly fine on my 16GB machine: https://github.com/rui314/mold. After installing, it can be enabled by setting —enable-linker=mold instead of —enable-linker=lld
well i just wasted €80 lmao
Same thing I’ve seen past 60 days with Lemmy. The major sites throwing massive hardware. “Wow, Lemmy now deletes a single post in 7 seconds”.
What is ‘Epic Games Launcher’
Isn’t it the thing that gives out free games that you never play, every now and then?
You are going to feel stupid when I tell you, but it’s the “Launcher” for “Epic Games”.
I don’t game, but I installed it once to play around with Unreal Engine once. The meme is quite accurate.
Back in my day we just double-clicked on executables or shortcuts to executables. I hate launcher bullshit that solves exactly zero problems with computing. Seen it pop up in non-game applications too.
I hate launcher bullshit that solves exactly zero problems with computing.
It doesn’t matter when you have like 5 games, but when you start to get into the hundreds… A launcher that can filter, group, hide, etc games is nice.
Legendary, my beloved.
