My laptop sounds as if it's gonna burst into flames at any second it's so fucking loud. I actually can't believe how loud it is - this can't be normal for gaming laptops surely?? I want to like Valheim but i feel like I'm playing a 20 year old game.
I don't think PC gaming is for me. It's been a massive chore so far I'm worn out from it. Gutted. Anyone in the market for a brand new gaming laptop?

This game is a fucking miracle.

You can stream only the application so you don't have to worry about leaking personal info, and it uses the GPU encoder by default so it's pretty lean on system resources. I came across this when flying about in Flight Simulator with people on a Discord server, at first I wasn't keen to share my screen but I quickly realised how much sense it makes for cooperation and for laughs. People can more easily see what you are talking about and assist you - "that red button right there, push that one", and it makes messing around that much more fun when you can see their perspective and witness whatever crazy shit they're up to. After recent experiences with this I'm quite sure that this is going to end up being the new way to experience multiplayer, particularly with coop/sim type games. It's just a good vibe, sort of like a LAN session where you can look over at your friend's screen. It's been a revelation with Flight Sim, I always stream my screen when playing that now, people will drop in and out to join or just watch whatever mad shit we are up to and have a chat. I haven't checked but I presume we can video stream in the voice channels in the B&B Discord channel. I recommend trying it out, it makes for a much less isolated experience.
