Hell fucking yeah. When running Skyrim I had to play it on such a low resolution it looked like a PS1 game, I also removed trees, reduced mountain textures to 256x256px, and many other mods I put into a group called "Schizo Performance Mods."
- If I remember correctly, there were mods that made the settings go below the lowest available ones.
  Suddenly feeling like my Skyrim mod knowledge is some complex ancient fading lore in parts of my mind I haven’t used in years.
  
  Context for my setup: I was running it under wine with an Intel i3 with iGPU. I didn't take "no" as an answer, if I wanted to play Skyrim, I will play Skyrim. Since I can't use dxvk, I had to use Gallium Nine. In the end Gallium Nine gave me the biggest boost, now interiors average about 40-45 fps, and exteriors are about 25-30. I was also crazy enough to want to play with some 150+ mods, so there's no one to blame here but me.
  complex ancient fading lore
  It might as well be. Lots of mods got deleted, then there is the split between Legendary Edition, and whatever the newer two versions are, so now we have a shit ton of backports and forward ports of many mods. Skyrim modding was a nightmare, I can't even imagine trying to mod say, Fallout: New Vegas.

  A man after my own heart. Also here's how the game looked like
  
  Tree Mesh Remover
  Insignificant Object Remover
  Those trees in the distance (LOD Trees) are hallucinations created by your dwindling sanity as you try to squeeze +2 fps. When you go near them they simply plop out of existence.
  Also my game looked worse than this. Interestingly the Xbox360 version of the game not only looked better. but actually ran at a smooth 30 fps.
  For any poor soul that wants to attempt what I did, first you must follow the official guide on the Skyrim Modding Wiki, then take a look at this A Helpful Guide To Increase Skyrim's Performance and Stability - FPS and Optimization
  Your biggest boost will probably be from reducing the resolution, and making sure that you are using dxvk or Gallium Nine, DO NOT USE WINED3D which is basically the default state of wine. Gallium Nine was so easy to install when Mesa 24 was compiled with it enabled, now Mesa 25 stopped compiling Gallium Nine so you have to compile Mesa 1.24.x yourself and enable Gallium Nine support. I tried but for the life of me it wouldn't fucking compile.+
  In the end, I modded Skyrim more than I played it.

Seriously though.... This will get better gaming performance won't it?
This seems dumb, but I'm struggling to think of why that would be the case.
- You need a radiator, otherwise the glass of water will eventually be the same temp as the phone.
  
  phone in toilet. flush when hot.
  
  Temps up -> hydrate with lukewarm water -> fill back up -> infinite gaming, infinite hydration
  
  It's rated for about half an hour water resistance, so you'd probably get water ingress before that.
  
  not quite, the glass of water itself acts as a radiator since it has a significantly larger surface area than the phone, and water evaporation cools it down ever so slightly
  even at equilibrium it'll probably keep the phone a degree or two colder, i'd wager.
- Usually those water resistant seals are just a tiny bit of adhesive gunk like so (looks better before removal obviously). Eventually it may just break down. Also it isn't waterproof, so holes like the charging port, speaker, microphone, stylus, you don't want submerged for long. Might do better flipped upside down, but there is usually a speaker and mic at the top as well.
  
  It is flipped, isn't it? I see a cable coming out and that's usually the bottom.
  I'm wondering if the phone in a ziplock bag would work as well. thin plastic but an extra layer of security and a trivial heat insulator. But none of the shock factor lol
  
  If we’re gonna talk about actual implementation, you can probably stick a few simple waterblocks on both of the phone’s sides with some thermal pads and have water flowing through everything. Maybe two CPU sized blocks on each side. Not the fancy stuff, the questionable cheap ones.
  I don’t even think you need a radiator, a phone will only dissipate so much heat. A loop sucking water out of a metal bucket and dumping it back in will probably radiate enough heat to keep everything relatively cool. Unless we’re doing 25W phone processors now.

Reminds me of playing low quality vr games on the samsung gear vr and having to stop ever 20 minutes to put the phone in the freezer to cool down
- I had one of those, and I wish I could get 20 minutes from it. I'd get overheating warnings after about 5.

I had a really hard time finding information about this, except for videos actually showing Skyrim running on Arm processors. I wonder how it's done. Is it emulation, translation layer like proton, or are there Arm specific compiled versions of certain games?
Ok sure, the screenshot is from /r/EmulationOnAndroid, but what's the software used then? Just curious.
EDIT: Ok, found the original post on reddit. Some comments suggested it could either be the Switch version using a Switch emulator, or it could Winlator or Mobox (archived for some reason?) which translates x86 into arm, then runs windows code via wine.
- Has you can see gta san andreas (pc version) running on a Samsung galaxy tab s9 with winlator
  
  The Winlator experience for me was crazy. I would try so god damn hard to get a game to run, then when it's running at a stable framerate, I never play it again. Spent more time on "can I?" instead of "Should I?"
  Sadly Winlator has ceased development or something? I heard something about the dev having school or taking a temporary break, I am not sure.
