That's Runescape 3,except they are removing it all. Osrs has membership (effectively required for the game) and you can buy bonds so other players can buy membership with in game money. That's it.
Depends on the game. If audio is a huge part I use my headset, but most games I play these days I have on mute or close to (old school Runescape, Minecraft, TrackMania). Baldur's gate 3 and counter strike 2 are both fine on my laptop speakers although they do fairly good directional audio as long as it isn't in a horrible room for audio.
When I played Forza horizon that was mostly on mute too, or at least quiet enough to not be the primary audio.
I've tried using a headset for games but after like an hour or so it just feels like shit.
I mean, people pay for Netflix or Amazon or whatever, why is YouTube different? It's my primary video platform and I watch more than 50 hours a week (I'm low balling that number to hell as well).
While paying is more convenient for me than breaking their shit, I'll pay. Also means creators actually get paid for my views as well
Between the age of my account and the fact I pay for premium, if they ever ask for ID they can go fuck themselves and I'll go back to as blockers and fresh accounts
I have a laptop, it's just unreasonable. Need the ability to just pick it up and walk off. I figure if I spend more time on my laptop than anything else it probably should be one of my most high end things.
I dedicate that much to vanilla minecraft, we have very different expectations on results I think. If I'm playing modded I dedicate 16 just so I don't ever have to worry about running out.
Firefox almost halved my browser ram usage back in the day though.
Boost does as well, little chick popping out of an egg
