Heroic Games Launcher

https://heroicgameslauncher.com/

Available on Linux, MacOS and Windows :)

[–] morrowind@lemmy.ml 37 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 32 points 2 years ago

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

[–] Galgo@lemmy.ml 12 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...)

That's what you get for making apps with fucking Electron, aka "a Chrome browser that only opens a single website"

[–] Merlin@lemm.ee 6 points 2 years ago (1 children)

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 6 points 2 years ago (1 children)

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

[–] wlsnt@reddthat.com 7 points 2 years ago (2 children)

what the hell is amazon games

[–] qwertyqwertyqwerty@lemmy.one 9 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 9 points 2 years ago (1 children)

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

new world I think? The mmo that was supposed to kill [insert mmo] but then was kinda bad

[–] Tb0n3@sh.itjust.works 3 points 2 years ago (2 children)

Speaking of killing. Didn't it end up killing a bunch of graphics cards?

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.

[–] this@sh.itjust.works 13 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Lmao what? EGL uses unreal?

[–] AgreeableLandscape@lemmy.ml 5 points 2 years ago (1 children)

As far as I know yes.

Miss me with that DRM shit platform

[–] Kecessa@sh.itjust.works 8 points 2 years ago (3 children)

Again with that bullshit?

https://www.pcgamingwiki.com/wiki/List_of_DRM-free_games_on_Epic_Games_Store

As if Steam doesn't sell games with DRM... Oh wait, they make their own DRM!

[–] Holzkohlen@feddit.de 8 points 2 years ago (1 children)

I think they really refer to the feeling it gives off. Like that uplay client you are forced to use even though you bought the Ubisoft game on steam. Epic just feels like a ball and chain.

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 8 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.

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

[–] ehrenschwan@feddit.de 6 points 2 years ago (3 children)

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

[–] Doombot1@lemmy.one 3 points 2 years ago

Correct

Easy fix! Simply do not open the epic games launcher ever again (and uninstall it while you're at it)

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".

[–] PeWu@lemmy.ml 4 points 2 years ago

Legendary, my beloved.

[–] k5nn@lemm.ee 3 points 2 years ago

I dunno if that's worse or if they play sims on it
