This article can be summed up: Two older men complain about something they admit they arent really interested in: whine about prices

Its the ghost, the ghost in the machine. Major Kusanagi would be proud

These actually make awesome pictures! Its cool tech that allows you to do prints anytime without feeling like a polaroid where you dont get any option of post. With a mobile setup, you can print off prints to show work. Its certainly not for everyone.

Strong agree! 99% of the time I take my high level and SOS drop so all of my games are inprogress. Had some nasty drops this weekend just trying to keep the guys on the ground from entering the meat grinder. No one at lower levels knows how to disengage and/or run and shoot the constant patrols were super deadly. Plenty of drops where I came I saw and got melted.

Youll increase survivability with the Fireproof armour but its really only slightly helpful. With the shield backpack and the armour I still get one shot by those devastators. The only option is to outrange them really. The hoverpack and jetpack strats do not put out flames when you use them, as ive died to fire tick after launching cause it doesnt go out. The only real way I have to deal with patrols, even in lvl 5 is to not engage or get really accurate throws with airstrikes. Gattling barrage and airburst work well and come back quick. If you can aim well, the sniper and eruptor works great.

Ya, sure do, but they tend to be hardware that isnt going to be supported by the game anyway. Hell ever try to get windows on a chromebook?

I think the pentium brand has been notoriously difficult to find until very recently. More to the point Celeron processors dont have the right microcode either most likely. These really arent normal hardware choices even for hobby builders

The headline is pretty harsh sounding. Avx2 support on AMD processors goes all the way back before Zen with some late model FX chips. Intel all the way back to 4th gen Core i# cpus. 99% of everything made after those should have no compatibility issues. We can argue about how much we should support aging systems and such, but attacking the game for it seems overtly mean. Anyone thats been around games long enough knows that support for older systems and games is nonexistent except for the hobbyists and well GoG now…

Understood. Have a good day! Just as an fyi nvidia and linux support is painful and is prone to breaking for weird reasons.

Msi laptops have famously bad hinges, try to find something that has a bit of longevity.
