How my weekend is going

Getting Riff-Raff as my first joker activates all my dopamine receptors.

I never bought Riff Raff LOL
- I got it from a Buffoon pack, but it's still worth buying because it pays for itself. You get 2 jokers that are worth 1-2 dollars each, you can sell them if they're not worth keeping and you can even get jokers like Egg and Mail-In-Rebate that gain you tons of money.
  It's a life saver in ante 1-2
Slightly OT, but my laptop sounds like a jet engine when I play Balatro. It's a 2021 Precision 5650 (lightweight CAD workstation) with a Quattro GPU and integrated graphics. Power consumption roughly doubles and both my gpus are around ~40%. I have all settings to minimum.
Same thing with many other games I'd think would be not too demanding. Thronefall, polybridge 2, etc
- Enable vsync
  
  Yep, Turn on VSYNC because Balatro FPS goes up to 500 - 1000 FPS even on Potato LOL
  
  Thanks for the tip. I just looked and I have vsync on. On my desktop machine, it uses about 10% gpu with vsync on and 40% with vsync off. On my laptop, it's about 40% regardless of the setting.
  C'est la vie
- You should repaste your CPU. It will reduce heating.
- I would have imagine it could be played on a web browser.
