3 great games for a potato PC

[Deleted User]

Obligatory mention to Minecraft. That thing runs on pretty much anything and everything it touches. haha.

Minecraft isn't actually that great for low end stuff.

unless you like playing on the lowest render distance (Which is basically unplayable)

I've had a lot of shit PCs and laptops over the years and a very small amount of them could handle Minecraft on the lowest render distance.

Seriously. I really need to get a decent PC.

then again it was a super old version, Alpha IIRC

You could add FTL to your list. I think even my linux'd chromebook can run FTL.

It can, I can confirm this because my 1.1 dual-core Acer C7 can run it.

Also I need to play Stardew Valley so badly!

The version has little correlation to the performance, Java is just bad for performance in gaming I think.

FTL is a problem, because even though it runs on a potato, after playing it, smashing your head to the desk after each failure and swallowing several bottles of painkillers, you yourself may end up as a potato.

FTL is unfair as heck

Yeah, I've always had issues getting Minecraft to run at higher than 20fps on non-great systems. Terraria works great on almost anything though.

La-Mulana is another fantastic game that probably runs on just about anything.

I need to get on Steam more. I downloaded all of my games and was like, "This is fine" then sat on them.

shutting off my GPU and making it run on integrated, Terraria ran like actual crap

I only have integrated, so Terraria runs like shit 24/7.

Huh, I never had trouble with it on Intel HD integrated graphics. Admittedly it runs like trash on the even older Intel GMA series, but still. Maybe I'm just not remembering it too well though - it HAS been a long time since I last played it.

I remember running it fine on my desktop too and that was a piece of actual human waste, but these days it's just not working

If you want Minecraft to run faster use Optifine.

Also C A V E S T O R Y

Optifine can't fix everything

It really can't, the improvements are minimal for me.

I went from 20fps to 120 lol
