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

Giga chads use heroic launcher instead ;)

[–] Holzkohlen@feddit.de 13 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Now also supports Amazon Games. Get it while it's hot.

[–] wlsnt@reddthat.com 10 points 2 years ago (1 children)

what the hell is amazon games

[–] qwertyqwertyqwerty@lemmy.one 11 points 2 years ago (2 children)

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.

[–] Mubelotix@jlai.lu 10 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Not going to trade Valve for Amazon. Valve contributes so much to the Linux ecosystem

Heroic Games Launcher

https://heroicgameslauncher.com/

Available on Linux, MacOS and Windows :)

[–] morrowind@lemmy.ml 36 points 2 years ago (3 children)

Huh, didn't know it was available for windows.

Also I resent it being called "native" when it's made with electron

[–] devfuuu@lemmy.world 31 points 2 years ago

Welcome to 2023 where native means a webpage in an embedded browser.

[–] Galgo@lemmy.ml 10 points 2 years ago (1 children)

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...)

Calling out the bulkiest NVME drive I've ever seen.

[–] ehrenschwan@feddit.de 15 points 2 years ago (1 children)

nvme doesn't have to be m.2 right? I swear I've seen 2.5" nvme drives.

[–] Doombot1@lemmy.one 10 points 2 years ago

Correct

[–] snowfalldreamland@lemmy.ml 9 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Maybe it's a u.2 or u.3 nvme Enterprise drive?

The size of Warzone 2 makes it physically inflate.

[–] Micromot@feddit.de 4 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Maybe it's 2x1TB in a casing

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.

Everyone gets it wrong with the RAM 🤦.

[–] FrostyCaveman@lemm.ee 15 points 2 years ago (2 children)

How so?

I do note it is a weird ratio of CPU cores to memory in this meme 🧐

[–] 0x4E4F@lemmy.rollenspiel.monster 8 points 2 years ago (1 children)

That was my point. 32 cores with 32GB of RAM should be a crime.

[–] Klear@lemmy.world 9 points 2 years ago (3 children)

The real crime is not having 32TB drive to go with it.

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?

[–] Mubelotix@jlai.lu 3 points 2 years ago

Heroic is definitely faster. Though it's buggy at times

MacBook Pro M2 Max feels lol, it's got a lot of power in theory but almost no software puts it to use.

[–] figaro@lemdro.id 7 points 2 years ago

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.

[–] HerrKai@feddit.de 9 points 2 years ago (1 children)

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?

[–] RoundSparrow@lemmy.ml 5 points 2 years ago

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".

[–] WorldieBoi@lemmy.world 5 points 2 years ago (2 children)

What is 'Epic Games Launcher'

[–] AnUnusualRelic@lemmy.world 11 points 2 years ago

Isn't it the thing that gives out free games that you never play, every now and then?

[–] Spazsquatch@lemmy.studio 10 points 2 years ago (2 children)

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.

Legendary, my beloved.

[–] Dasnap@lemmy.world 4 points 2 years ago (2 children)

I just use Playnite as the frontend for everything and Epic loads a lot faster when the actual client doesn't need to fully kick up. Same for Steam, Ubisoft, EA etc.

[–] Aram1s@lemm.ee 3 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Sadly it only supports Windows.

[–] Dasnap@lemmy.world 3 points 2 years ago (2 children)

Wouldn't Heroic be a better option on Linux? It supports both Epic and GOG.
