This. Games used to be programmed to squeeze everything out of the machine, without requiring more upgrades. They also focused on gameplay rather than aesthetics. Tetris was simple as fuck, and people still play that damn game. Games don’t need 4k textures taking up 1tb of their drives (but as Pokemon proves, 480 is too low as well). I purposely look for the repacks of games, or the mods that alter the requirements. I don’t run my car at a constant 8000rpms, and I don’t need my machine running that way either. I buy 4 to 5 years later than newest gen whenever I upgrade, too, because I don’t need it. I play to have fun, not drool over fps, or resolution, or realism. I am playing a game to escape reality, not recreate the one I’m already living (yeah, I play fantasy games, or scifi)














It’s their decision of course. I hate to see them lose, and I hate that my country isn’t doing more. We made a damn promise, and when it came time to make good, we half-assed it. Not enough oil I guess. But I also don’t want to see Russia bully their way to more territory either, as that just shows the world that they are still a threat, and leads to another round of russian fear for the world.
