Male fantasy? LOL…

A nice cosy game he might enjoy on his own is Pillars Of The Earth. It’s really very good.

I’d doubt it’s treesitter. It could be, of course. The LSP server more likely. If using Linux run htop or something and check memory usage. Edit: Mac. Find the htop equivalent.

I get your point. I messed with eshell for a while, then used vterm. In the end I just hard wired a swaywm key to a scratch terminal wihch toggles an alacritty instance. I can copy and paste in it fine : in short I find it easier to do “terminal shell things” in a “real terminal” but I can see why others prefer to stay inside emacs. Occasioanlly I’ll use a terminal inside emacs via projectile as its quick to open a terminal at your current project location.

There’s a different read loop? I’ve not really noticed a difference tbh.

Well, if you want to customise Emacs - obviously it’s worth learning. Im not quite sure where you get that idea that because its “old” then its support is somehow worse than “more popular” languages. It has great documentation - in editor too.

Witcher 3. It’s calling me home.

Just about every assassin’s creed except Black Flag. 🤣.

Could be cut and paste.

Unreal 2. But be careful, apparently talking about disappointments after overhyped releases is “hate” and triggers some people…

Novigrad

Forspoken. It did for “progressive” what The Marvels has done: alienate just about anyone with a pulse.

The only “performance” issue for me is lsp - but that tends to be at first run on a large framework. And since my “old” laptop (x1c6) is about 1000x faster than the one I started using emacs on in the early 2000s it really isnt an issue.

Less haste, more speed…

Great game. It and mdk had a certain originality!

Definitely Starfield. It was classic “Emperor’s New Clothes”. I was watching late 90s fps combat (Tribes), 10-year-old face rendering, fractal/procedurally generated nothingness, micromanaged inventories, horrendous churn type progression. I couldn’t believe it. And the seals dutifully clapped.

Gabriel Knight 3. Worse in every way to the previous two. Horrendous 3d engine, bullshit (impossible) puzzles and terrible voice acting.

Lol. I just realised I never knew. Thanks!

Cyberpunk at least looked good and was original. SF is dross on a dated engine and polluted with woke nonsense - Cyberpunk the exact opposite.
