    I will never understand the obsession around computer-crashingly good graphics. They push your temps to the max and computer components don’t start throttling themselves until the temps are a little too high so that your shit will stop working sooner so you have to buy a new gpu sooner. Why can’t they let us control the thermal throttling temp, huh? Fuck that 99 degree celsius shit. “99c is acceptable temps for laptops and gpus” my ass.

    Pixel art isn’t a necessarily a positive selling point to me but if the game is good and the graphics are good enough to be able to tell what’s going on without having to get high on drugs first, then its fine by me. Ps2 or xbox 360 era 3d graphics are the sweet spot though. I’m glad they finally added actual graphics to Dwarf Fortress, it’s actually playable now. If the msdos installation process has better graphics then a game then that’s pushing things little too far imho.

      yep. Elden Ring is an example… cant even play that game without my fans going nuts. I didnt even buy the DLC expansion yet… taking a break until I get a better PC. Being a patient gamer means always having cool games to look forward to, someday far in the future lol
