@ity @condret my criticism is not re: software versions in detail, but rather that many benchmarking and comparison videos are either using unrealistic high-end setups the average #WageWorker can't afford and/or are setup as #RageBait content!

  • With #Greedflation kicking into higher gear than ever in our lifetimes up to this point, more #LowSpecGaming & #BudgetBuilds should be accounted for, espechally when a modern "midrange" PC can cost more than a brand-new 50cm³ scooter…

I want to take a moment to thank all the game devs that:
- release their games on more stores than just Steam (specially GOG and itch.io), and support all of them equally
- release their games DRM-free
- have native Linux builds of their game that work just as well as the Windows builds (macOS too, but I recognize that Apple makes this much harder than it should be)
- worry about performance and work so their games can run well on old and/or weak hardware
- implement lots of options settings
- build their game to be moddable
- open source their game's code
 Any of these things are highly appreciated. Thank you for not only bringing your art to fruition, but also for the hard work of having it be more accessible to everyone. There's been many times where, because the devs went out of their way to ensure a number of these, I was able to play and enjoy their game despite less than ideal conditions on my part.

Do you consider the Steam Machine low spec?

Do you consider the Steam Machine low spec? - tchncs

When it was announced many pointed to its rather moderate spec as a problem. What are your feelings, would you consider it low spec? And even if it is, it’s this really a problem or possibly even a positive? I’ve personally have been thinking for a while that ever more powerful, and power hungry, hardware is not the way forward for PC gaming.

What do you think of the low spec community so far?

Favorite old timey roguelike?

Favorite old timey roguelike? - The TTRPG network

Rogue likes usually run on a toaster. What’re people’s favorites? I have a huge soft spot for Crawl: Stone Soup. Runs in a browser, or probably even lower requirements if you download it. The game’s design goals want to minimize tedium and gotchas, so it’s pretty respectful of your time. Auto-explore and auto-travel are real nice. So is the global search for when you’re like “is there anything in this run with resist poison?” https://crawl.develz.org/ [https://crawl.develz.org/] I’ve played a little nethack, adom, and angband, but I always go back to crawl.

Hello! - Lemmy.zip

I created this community because I couldn’t find anything like it on lemmy and i was bored, most of the systems i have are also low end. I felt making this space would be helpful for those with worse machines than me. Also, you’re welcome to say hi or ask a question here, or even make your own post.
