What are you playing?

[Ruru]

No, RDR2 doesn't have VR support. You can play any game in Bigscreen on a virtual monitor in VR. You can add a curve and increase or decrease the size of your screen. you can have a Theater environment or use the environment they call the Void which is just everything blacked out but your screen.

Damn Mirrors Edge Catalyst looks cool even with a virtual desktop. I'd love to see that in real VR

uhh, kind laying low on games recently, but...
Last completed: Journey, Rise of Tomb Raider, Bioshock 1 - Remaster
Played recently: Killing Floor 2, Battlefield V, RDR2, GTAV, Cities Skylines, Warframe, and some Car Sim hehe

Rise is the best of the new Tomb Raiders Shadow wasn't bad but it was kinda disappointing after Rise.

Have you considered in-home streaming?

GOG doesn't do that afaik.

Some other things to think of... Nvidia Shield (in home streaming for anything); and perhaps you can link the game to your Steam Library (have not tried with non-steam but should work).

Will check steam thing. Getting additional hardware (apart from better laptop) is not an option tbh. I have a Dell 5590 with a busted charger port, that would be ideal but I need to repair it first...

I'm hoping to play Flight Simulator when it's finished downloading, even though I pre-loaded it, which isn't an actual pre-load in fact.
Three hours later...

Steam streaming works surprisingly well, with that I can game with my laptop fine

I miss those days when I had 2x 40GB drives and I felt like I can't run out of HDD space.. and games these days can take over 100GB.

It's getting to the point where i might need to buy a 4TB spinner and I already have 7.5TB in various disks.
But this Flight Simulator is by far the biggest I've downloaded.

Probably my worst space-eaters are FF XV & Dirt Rally 2.0 as those take over 100GB each

I had to make space to get this.. lol Funny enough while looking for space on one of my game drives I noticed Warzone is 185gb! lol I completely forgot about getting this game to play with my nephews...

ARK Survival Evolved is >100GB these days.


Anyway, streaming non Steam games works, but it is very choppy. Every other or third second it does a kind of micro-freeze. It might be the WLAN card in the Dell, it is sorta unstable (connection drops once every few hours no matter the load). But at least it works!

games i started playing last night..i have no motivation to play the 41,42,43,44 campaign so i thought id pic a smaller scenario..42 summer offensive which covers Stalingrad.. 20 turns instead of 220 with a fraction of the units.. lol

 

[Frick]

Hey @Brandenburg . I think you would like Aurora.

BTW, some crimping later I can now play Disco Elysium on the laptop. Excellent.

 

[Splinterdog]

I put the entire day aside for Microsoft Flight Simulator and boy, did I need the training?
After a couple of mishaps where I veered off the runway and then did a couple of scary nosedives, I managed to get the plane flying.
The tricky part was finding the airport later on...

So my RJ45 jack on the laptop doesn't hold the connector, which means it falls out when I move. Still good, I'm good at not moving.

My buddy finally got me to try League. I've always been an FPS player, but he got me to try HoTS a while back which eventually grew on me. I'm by no means good at MOBAs, and now graduating from HoTS to league where I have a lot more to worry about in addition to the infamously toxic playerbase when queuing up with randoms is proving quite the challenge.

 

[Brandenburg]

Hey @Brandenburg . I think you would like Aurora.

i have that but have never played it.. forgotten i had downloaded it awhile back.. eventually i might put it in my game rotation..so many games,

^^started posting the above , then started playing guitar.. so.. an hour later i see i forgot to hit post reply.. lol

 

[rtwjunkie]

That's a fun game, however I think you're in the minority about being addicted to it..
(BTW, laughing about your comment, not at you..)

I'm so in the minority I never heard of it. So I guess I will look it up now.

Don't bother.

 

[biffzinker]

Don't bother.

Don't bother with Animal Crossing: New Horizons?

It's not for everyone, but if it's your jam, it'll suck you in till you do/find everything.
(BTW, I noticed that the user deleted his comment, I hope my statement didn't scare them off...)
