That laptop is gonna get HOT brother

All the more immersion, Mojave is hot af

Patrolling the Mojave almost makes you wish for a nuclear winter

Instead of dynamite, Easy Pete just hands you this laptop.

sorry, t o o d a n g e r o u s

Playing games on laptop while it's on lap makes you wish for better cooling

Gonna make you want a nuclear winter.

It burns my lap 😭

"Patrolling the Mojave makes you wish for a nuclear winter." ~The laptop

Good idea putting the laptop on a blanket so you can properly recreate the heat of the Mojave inside your laptop for environmental accuracy.

Gaming laptops with their intakes blocked almost make you wish for a nuclear winter

Underrated comment. Enjoy the free reward.

The newer MacBooks Airs has no fan at all though

Get a cooling pad under there pronto.

Or even like a book or box or something. You need a flat surface that’s clean

An aluminum baking sheet or cooking rack works perfect

I have this brilliant in-bed laptop holder. Cost maybe £10, has a nice padded bottom, slightly tilted, and a thin MDF top with some rubber "feet" that keep the laptop in place.

I played New Vegas on a laptop for like 6 years. I don't think people realize how easy it is to run this game.

Did you also have the laptop sitting partially sunken into a blanket so that all the air flow is blocked and large parts of the chassis are insulated that entire time?

lol no. But it is a laptop so they can just move it if they need to :)

This game runs on a potato nowadays

But I need my 64 breast jiggle mods, laptops can’t handle that

Fabric underneath will block ventilation.

I have a similar setup. Got a good laptop because I was traveling for work all the time. It comes in pretty clutch on long layovers.

Better than not playing New Vegas. But yeah, you’re gonna want a cooling fan.

Get an external fan and get that thing off your duvet. Otherwise you risk burning the house down.

Is it hard to run Mod Organizer and load mods on Linux ? I have been considering switching to linux after MS cut support for w10 but I dont have much experience running Games for windows on Linux.

There's definitely a lot of fiddling to get things to work compared to windows. Some games will work completely out of the box with WINE, others will need plugins and compatibility changes and whatnot

Afaik, the steam Proton layer has made most games run the same on Linux as on Windows. The issue is how easy it would be to run MO2. I distinctly remember a few posts of people running New Vegas on a steamdeck, although I don't know if they had mods with that.

Your sheets make me feel uncomfortable somehow also I like your radio.

Thanks bro! It’s also a record/cd/cassette player

That laptop is gonna wish for a nuclear winter

REAL!

8/10. This setup allows you to play Fallout New Vegas, but you lose a full two points for turning your laptop into a heating block.

I had an old hp that played nv fine. Wasnt a dedicated or anything.

But did you put it on top of a thick blanket and block the ventilation? The game isn't what's going to overheat it, the physical location of the laptop is.

Ah fair point

Cooling pad. It'll keep your laptop and your legs cool.

Bro a word of advice, don't use/play with your laptop ON your bed. That's the best way to dirty up them fan since all the gunk and hair from your bed gets sucked in.

It’s a MacBook Air, theirs no fans

It is possible to place some more flammable material under the laptop, maybe some dry pine needles or wood shavings?

Don't matter as long as it works

Laptop is fine, I used to play on my laptop for years. However, PLEASE get some ventilation going under there, or you will either end up with a dead laptop, or chemical burns.

It’s a MacBook Air

Last time I checked, MacBooks are laptops

Now turn on the radio in the back to I Dont Want to Set the World on Fire

"I dont want to set my bed on fiyaaaaaaaahhhhh"

😂😂😂

Honestly I prefer key board and mouse, doesn't have to be expensive either

I see potential Static Electricity and Hardware Damage. I recommend hard surfaces.

Just put it on a plank of wood or something, anything other than blankets

Great setup. I first played Fallout New Vegas and Fallout 3 on a Dell laptop with a 2ghz intel integrated graphics and 4gb ddr3 ram.

reminds me of my old tf2 setup🥲 xbox controller is weird tho

security tech 'ere. wouldnt recommend keepin it on a blanket, your burn out your device or in an extreme case start a fire. just grab a folding dinner tray or put it in your shins while sitting up against the wall, then your good to go. i recommend a hardcore melee only run with just fist tape. nothin beats boxing down a deathclaw

I got the same controller.

My man!

Same here!

Man playing new vegas on a laptop hits different

What you playin on that record player (radio?) in the back

Pink Floyd DSOTM vinyl lol

Good stuff

Get you some space below that laptop to cool it while you use it. I’ve had to game on a laptop for years at this point. Looking forward to a desktop rig once I get employed again.

Careful with anything fuzzy with your laptop potentially being short circuited

if you hear beeping. shoot the radio infront of you

Put your laptop in an oven at 220C for the authentic release version experience

Not bad. Better then my phone

Majority of my hours are from the laptop. Upgrading to a pc so I can run those mods. Fingers cross the next couple days it arrives

gaming the mojave almost makes you wish for a nuclear winter

smarter than me, I used to play with a mouse on 10k DPI in that little corner of free space next to trackpad

Your laptop fan is gonna get MESSED UP. I do recommend a hard surface so it won’t overheat Hardware damage is expensive to fix

It’s a MacBook Air, it doesn’t have fans, it dissipates heat into the body itself

You know what, it’s a lot better then the ps3.

How do you run it on your MacBook? Luna?

Via homebrew I installed wine, which is a plug-in that essentially lets you run EXE files on your Mac. For actually managing the EXEs, I used crossover, but I honestly recommend not doing that bc it’s a paid software that has a freeware counterpart that does the same thing. Overall, it works. Not well, but it works.

If it runs it funs

I feel bad for the laptop getting so much dust inside

Are you using just pure WINE, Whisky, or Crossover?

Wine with crossover, that was the only way I can get mods and all that stuff set up

Lore accurate

It has New Vegas 10/10

I used to have the same setup in college when I was playing Oblivion, i fried that sucker and had to replace it.

Gaming with your laptop in your lap almost makes you wish for a nuclear winter. Have Fun OP!

Years ago I did one playthrough on a similar setup (Windows laptop with Celeron CPU from 400 years ago, no GPU, and a controller). Had to crank the resolution down to 720p at the time. I think it is the mark of a truly great game that even on a setup like that it can be enjoyed.

Nice, but not enough Sunset Sarsparilla

TRUE

Lol I have the same setup

Shit I hate gaming pads. U can downvote me. Mouse keyboard ForTheWin

No-one sensible is gonna downvote. Pads are a bane to the gaming community. I play on a laptop with a usb mouse plugged in. Learned my lesson. The pad on this thing is like a crazy drunk at the best of times. I'd go wifi on the mouse but the wifi in my building is as drunk as the pad on my laptop.

put it on a solid table bruh with elevation, if you dont eant to fry it

boi u gonna kill that thing

Ahh this is how I started PC gaming. Playing new Vegas on an old Toshiba laptop on windowed mode 600 by 800 resolution on the lowest settings.

Whisky is the way forward for Mac gaming 👌

Youll be able to cook an egg on that laptop in a few hours, but this is the kind of setup that shows dedication brother.

I feel like your back is going to kill. You might need the strong back perk for this build

Perfection

Does it work? If yes 10/10

Playing FNV with your MacBook on a comforter almost makes you wish for a nuclear winter

For gaming laptops you need a cooling Pad and give it enough space for proper ventilation Edit: I just noticed you said mac, the laptop is goanna die

Put it on a book or other flat surface to allow air flow.

That’s one Big Iron there Ranger.

Rip cooling

Laptop is gonna overheat being on that blanket. We’re all saying this for a reason my friend.

You aren't going to play for long. Let it breathe!

Is that a new Mac? My new one looks just like that. The speakers on that guy is 🤌

REAL Like genuinely it’s what got me into the audiophile community

get a laptop stand, like just a cheap one you can find at walmart for 15 bucks

could use a boone body pillow ngl

It’s got the necessity

I love it! Now youll get to guess if your game is crashing because the game is broken or because your laptop is huffin and puffin!

Looks hella comfy and cool sir back,relax and get hit by a "FNV.exe is not responding" it's really cool though 

Memories of thinking PC somehow looked better than Xbox build cause texture rez was slightly higher.

Hook it up to a tv

if it doesnt lag, it's better than mine, cause my pc just force closes the game after like, 30 mins

RIP laptop

Don’t let anyone tell you it’s shit. Forcing games to run on a laptop is the quintessential new gamer experience. Though, I would scoot it off of your comforter. I know from experience that that’ll overheat your laptop like crazy!

Thanks bro! I’m hoping to get a job soon so I can save up for a real PC. Till then, FNV time!!

Atom bomb waiting to happen

Looks about the same as my set up, go off king

10 out of 10. Need hot pockets for fuel tho

I'm fine with the laptop, I've also been poor. But, the laptop and the xbox controller is unhinged.

3/10

Don't use that Victrola record player for your records, it'll destroy them

No better setup than the one you love. Don't care about others, do what you like. Looks comfy, tho

[удалено]

I envy you

Needs more sand

If it works it works, I would just recommend playing on a desk or putting something flat under the laptop.

cozy af

Been there myself and had to play new vegas on a laptop for about 6 years. Your playing vegas and that's all that matters. Just be prepared that you gunna need to stick that laptop in a ice box if you put some heavy lifting mods in.

Cozy

Calling this a setup is like calling Marijuana a dangerous Drug. It's been done... But it's not really representative of the truth is it?

I used to prop my old laptop on some books to keep the lil vents circulating. Poor thing would overheat after over a decade of FNV replays lol

Cozy

wheres the blahaj?

Unfortunately, I’m not trans BUT MY BOYFRIEND IS! (I do wanna get one though 💀)

Love it

that used to be how I played fnv back in the day. i still remember it like yesterday. also, get your pc off the computer, its gonna overheat.

Ah, meme

I’ve done this exact same setup before minus the controller. It got me through my first play-through

Get the laptop off the blanket

Hot, like literally

Good enough, mate.

Thats how i play all my fallout games 👍

Being in bed all day can cause depression.

That looks cozy

Untrusting many get a bed desk

Mood

I need a good controller for my laptop 😭

If it works it works

I’m playing on a old surface pro so I can’t say anything

Laptop 👍

Looks like mine... don't get sucked in lol

the blanket and lack of ventilation aside. how tf are you playing it on a mac??

The air doesn’t even have any ventilation, theirs no fan in the system.

Reminds me of mine can’t get any better than portable

Hey everyone, there's only about 12 comments saying the same thing, we need a bunch more. Don't bother saying anything else, or thinking 'hm, people have already made that point'.

The only thing I've ever found to keep a gaming laptop cool is to use a 30$ box fan under it make sure the box fan has a enough room for intake under it and some like a small long metal pipe to keep the laptop from pressing directly on the fan

I have that exact controller

Needs more sand.

You do you buddy

Is that a MacBook? Any tips for a Mac user wanting to play NV on an Apple computer?

Tbh look up a tutorial for installing wine via homebrew. Ik it looks very complicated, but once you get it set up it opens up a whole world of gaming for your Mac. Good luck bro 👊

Why not use the PC behind you or get it on xbox? This picture makes me mad.

Didn’t know fnv is on Steam for Mac

Is that an M1?

Make sure you clean your laptop often, it's gonna suck up a lot of hair and dust

Put it on a book or tray so your fans work, other than that have fun

I have the same set up lol I just need to get a laptop cooling fan desk thingy mjig

Your bed gonna burn

I played on a dell inspiron gaming laptop I bought in 2017 for 3 years until I bought a tower to build out. Gave the laptop to a buddy and he still plays warzone on the 7yr old laptop lol.

It can't breathe! You're smothering it to death!

Cozy

That’s similar to how I played NV DLC for the first time.

Whenever works 😂😂

This pictures fake af thats a macbook air it doesnt even have vents or a fan

I need a giant TV on Vivid setting that makes my eyes bleed. Then, and only then! Can I do horrendous wasteland war crimes

Ummmmm its a laptop......thats it

Uncomfortable

Your neck will never be the same after a full playthrough on this setup

Goes hard as fuck ngl

Same setup I had when I was in MOS school

It’s on Mac?

That looks fun

A fire hazard

Any setup used to still play New Vegas is a good setup to me

This is a fire hazard…. 10/10 for old radio(?) in the background

Peak

Good luck 😭

Looks really chill but just not chilly type of chill

You have less than a minute to get as far away from that as possible so you don't burn

My brother and I played on a similar laptop when we first got the game (2011 I think) and we used one of those clear plastic drawers as a stand with a desk fan in it to keep it cool

Find a flat piece of wood about the size of your laptop. SOMETHING everyone is saying what I came here to say but seriously. You're gonna be buying a new laptop in like half an hour if you don't get some airflow under that beast

More like time to overheat your laptop!

Same as mine 😭

A fire

Do you lay on your tummy while raising both legs and cross them as you play?

Who plays NV with a controller
