The Excruciating Chromebook Gaming Challenge

In today's video I have to beat a game on a Chromebook. A disaster puts it lightly. In reality I spend over an hour trying to beat a game as simple as Minecraft with FPS you can count on one hand.

Even on a pretty bad laptop I still get mostly 20 tps and normally at least 30 fps. (30 is the minimum of what I consider playable). I am using sodium and trying to get every bit of performance possible, but I still want it to look okay, so graphics are still on fancy. Also have a few client mods for building farms. Oh yeah, I have quite a few big farms running, including sometimes a mob switch and a shulker farm, both chunkloaded. A tnt based tree farm that I run afk (though with particles off, the leaf crushers lag a bit too much). It's not that bad. Yeah, random lag spikes happen from time to time (and I know it isn't autosave), but it's usable. And I think the lag spikes are from badly configured chunk loaders (when running) or the flying machine bamboo farm. (That thing produces way too many entities and block updates when harvesting).

I do nothing on the chromebook that needs any "actual computer" to do, and everything I do on it runs perfectly. And in return it costs much less than any laptop worth buying, does much better than any equivalent laptop new would manage (cheap laptops are even worse value than chromebooks by a loooong way, never buy those cheap laptops you see around), is much lighter, and has a battery life that destroys any laptop costing within many, many £100s. I also have a moderately powerful laptop (nothing special, but ok enough). But I don't need to travel with it all the time, I can grab the chromebook when travelling in some scenarios where I don't want to drag a much heavier machine around, and it has good battery and does everything I need. The fact you either don't understand or need the use case, doesn't mean the entire world is the same as you. Time to realise you are not the centre of the universe maybe?

My mom bought me a chromebook because she isn't very tech savvy.... Funny thing is it's more powerful than the pc she paid like 350$ for so I guess I won, but the problem is she thinks her computer is broken because mine runs better than hers! (Sorry this is a bit of a run-on sentence)

[@greengames64]

There may be a few things you can do to get maybe 30fps, that being the sodium mod and maybe a 1x1 texture pack. I guess if you just want to play mobile games you COULD sideload/download some on there, but the point still stands. I think they're an acceptable laptop for Grandma to browse the facebooks or do some light Google docs work but for most cases it doesn't do much else. Google needs to stick to advertising what a chromebook actually is; a budget, office work laptop. Not a gaming PC.

They arent even that though. If “office work” implies some google sheets, maybe a powerpoint, and a few other tabs for email or what have you, then it isnt cut out for that.

To be fair (for clarity, this is NOT a chromebook defense. I was subjected to using one for a year, and I now have to take multiple medications for my trauma), Minecraft has gotten extremely bulky in recent years. It doesn't matter how simple the graphics are anymore, so many things are going on at once, it's VERY impressive that something as simple as a phone can run it at a good 30 - 60 fps.

I use Shadow VM for most gaming, Picked up a 200$ chromebook to run the app. Basically just using it as a thin client. I also run it on my phone with a handheld controller. I know I know the first thing people go to is latency, shadow has done alot of work on their infrastructure and r&d on eliminating latency. While its impossible to remove it is very possible to make unnoticeable. I have been able to run everything from StarCraft Multi-player to PC VR streaming to an Oculus Quest with no notable Latency Issues. Shadow is the best of the current streaming solutions because they actually have done the legwork. I would never say to game on a chromebook natively but streaming works perfectly. I also have ran it with as little as 5mb/s connection so its not an issue with internet speed. If you ever had a bad taste with streaming solutions before don't let that sour shadow, its definitely worth it. My entire steam library is available on the go. The only downside is if there is an internet outage or an update being pushed then yea your gonna have a bad day but in the 3 years I've been a subscriber thats happened so little that I can't say its been a major issue.
