If you feel any better: i think that modern requirements for games are bizarrely too high for relatively small gains over what we had 10 years ago.
I’m still using a GTX 1070 and none of the games I play has had issues yet. The most recent games I’ve played on it were hitman 3, cult of the Lamb and Cross code. None of the games are that demanding but they were all good. I guess I just don’t play AAA titles (although hitman 3 is AAA but older).
I recently went installed GTA SA and my CPU was running at freaking 20% with graphics cranked up. I remember when I played it around 2010 by potato PC was lagging and freezing. But anyway the game still rocks after 24 damn years and it only requires 4-5 GB
anti piracy measures and cost cutting when optimizing games
By “optimizing” do you mean going through the source code and adding comments referring to Optimus Prime? Because that’s called “optimus priming” and we had a whole two hours about it in coding camp.
“optimizing” is a portmenteau coming from “optical minimizing”. the technique involves not using glasses, so you can’t tell when your code is trash.
“Optimizing” is where you convince your programmers that microdosing MDMA is great for productivity and they all end up being really optimistic about how their code is doing.
The peer coding review went really well. I think we’re getting married.
I thought I told you to stop giving away my secrets.
Standard autobot documentation. Nice, nice. What’s your TC?
My T count? Unfortunately, I lost count of how many times I typed T somewhere in the 60,000 range, which means that’s what my programming salary tops out at.
Indie games my beloved
This. My husband used to spend most of his unemployment on graphics cards. All for gaming. All of it.
Ok but what crow time comic,
Edit, Crow Time is amazing
