long term

If you can remember THACO, tabletop games have survived needing to change a few systems in the past

It’s telling you think the only thing that can come from that situation is a TPK. Nobody’s ever made a threat to “straighten up or else”, as the most basic and uninspired alternative possibility.

…because if it got better, you don’t know about it?

People like you defending this nonsense is exactly the issue, but you’ll never realize it.

So I’m paying thousands of dollars for a GPU to save the AAA company money?

Yes, but you deepthroating the technology is now relevant to me, because now it’s limiting my options on what hardware I can use to play the game, unnecessarily.

What’s the worst AMD card that can run it again? But it’s tooootally just because everybody has to have ray tracing, right? It would just be inconceivable to have, uh… unrealistic light rays? That’s what my game has to have to be playable these days, fucking light rays?

Yes, it stinks that AMD’s ray tracing performance is so far behind. But ray tracing is an unnecessary gimmick, and mandating it is a stupid choice. Imagine mandating your game has to have V-sync, or motion blur, or depth of field, or any of these garbage settings a sizable percentage of the playerbase immediately disables?

New AAA releases that can’t be bothered to optimize worth a damn. If those are something you just can’t do without, then sure, but it’s odd to be all doom and gloom over less than 5% of the games people will play this year lmao(15% of steam playtime in 2024 was new releases, it was a pretty even split between AAA, AA, and indie, and not every AAA game is optimized like ass).

A link doesn’t mean every single person did - maybe each concussion is rolling a die on the gullible idiot check and you got lucky.

solving the whole issue

Trump’s inevitable death won’t solve the issues that caused him. I don’t know what will. We’d have to go pretty far down the chain of succession to hit “not a fascist”.

I’m… sorry they had decent taste in boots?

My curiosity is overpowering my better judgement - what?

It is never not going to be funny, being derided for doing nothing by an internet comment.

Remind me how many times Biden violated the constitution?

Don’t get me wrong champ, shit needed to change, but you do see how the situation now is a lot fuckin worse? Right?

Ooo, someone learned a new vocab word.

I hope your empathy feels great when the fascist boot presses against your neck. I have zero empathy for the confidently incorrect.

So true bestie, glad we voted in a fascist so we don’t have to worry about elections at all anymore. Really stuck it to those pesky libs.

It can simultaneously be true that the democrats did a god awful job campaigning, and that people are fucking idiots for not voting for them.

And back down again in 3… 2…

Buddy, you have to be vaguely part of the conversation to troll effectively.

I would love to be proven wrong, and to be just another overreacting fool.

Hasn’t happened yet.
