      Believe it or not, I’ve looked but I haven’t found anything that suits me

        What about the jealous boyfriend one. Not great but better that this. Or gru, but from the pov of companies explaining.

    After some bad luck with finances and the two laptops I bought in the past 10 years, I had to fall back to my 2011 PC. And what can I say - it does everything I need. 2012 games in max, 2015 games good enough, professional back-end programming - surprisingly - still to modern-day perfection.

    I found that after the level of KOTOR 2 / Fallout 3, extra graphics does not mean extra fun. Why would it have to look like a live-action movie? I could just watch an actual movie, or go outside.

    I wonder if my old 2000s 939-socket MB would still be good enough if we weren’t pushed to buy something newer. Those are the ones for the first consumer 64 bit Athlon CPUs, and could be upgraded with dual-core Opteron later on. We could all play Star Wars Galaxies and Fallout 3 and be happy.

    I have to admit that picking up Cyberpunk 2077 when you’ve never played an realistic game before is really an experience. Although I am only running a 6600XT, the graphics still blew my mind

    But no, I don’t need to have ultra ray tracing water reflection mirror image boob sweat realism either.

    I’d say the unrealistic parts of games are the things that make it fun.

    Like respawning in fps.

    Not having to wait to race on sunday in a racing game.

    The quick improving of your skills in an rpg.

    The fully obedient soldiers in a strategy game.

    This is why I tend to just play indie games anymore. I absolutely love cartoon like and unrealistic graphics a lot more than their realistic counterparts. It’s the same reason I love animation more than its’ live action counterpart.
