It's cute that you think that was a good counter argument

forcing gamers to have a sub par experience

The game isn't even out yet and you're commenting on performance! As someone else pointed out, the modern Doom games have a reputation for being extremely well optimised, so let's wait and see how it actually performs on a 20 series card

As for needing a card > $1000 that's just ridiculous. You can get a 4060 NEW for under 500, and again, the minimum here is a 2060.

Re: supporting old hardware, again. The minimum is 7 year old hardware. I was also around in the 386 era and to say that devs of that time supported hardware for longer, is at best, wildly exaggerated.

I can't comment too deeply on consoles. I have no real experience with them, but from a very shallow level, the series S was released in 2020, and Google suggests that it supports ray tracing.

So my point stands. Stop expecting your 10 year old hardware to run new games indefinitely

So couple things:

The first RTX cards were the 20 series, which came out in 2018

There was a time when volumetric lighting was also optional

There was a time when GRAPHICS CARDS were optional.

The first game to require RTX was the Indiana Jones game, as did the Avatar game.

Shit moves on. Did you expect your 1060 card from 2016 to last indefinitely? How long did you expect developers to support 2 different lighting systems?

There is so much to be angry about these days, but not this. This was inevitable. If you MUST be angry about it, at least be angry at the right devs

Also let's be real. He's not trying to help anyone but himself. If he ever does find some miracle cure that significantly slows aging, you can bet your ass that he'll charge so much for it that only his billionaire cronies will be able to afford it

Ye, and Musk is just autistic /s

btw

I mean, yeah! They didn't sign up for this shit!

An excellent point, and well made. But have you considered this?

For anyone is interested in NZ politics, I've been enjoying BHN

I guess it depends on the kind of engineering you're talking about, but for the most part, yes. Tier 1 straight to residency

Stop it, Patrick, you're scaring him!

Ha ha ha, I chose those specific examples because of a specific person. I had to work with that person for 6 months and it it felt like all they wanted to talk about was how you can't get good pizza (you can) or how the shelves are always empty (they're not) or how the water here tastes weird. (I mean, maybe. That's subjective) By the end I just wanted to scream at them. We had a very heated debate about tipping culture one day at lunch. They didn't understand that "I used to work in hospitality, and I wouldn't have survived without tips" is not an argument in favour of tipping culture.

I realise I've generalized here, and it's not fair to judge everyone by one irritating example. Sorry about that

If you're serious then here you go

Take a look at the skills shortages list as well, because if you can get a job in something on that list, you'll have a much easier time. We desperately need Healthcare workers

You will be welcome here for the most part, but I have started noticing some things that are starting to annoy me, and I know I'm not alone, so fair warning:

Please remember why you're coming here. Nothing annoys me more than Americans who move here and then never shut up about how things were better back home. We have no 2a, our stores are small, and we don't tip. I consider those to be GOOD things. Also, even our right wing party (National) would be considered center left over there. (Sadly that seems to be changing)

If you're just looking for what America was 15 years ago, Australia is what you're looking for. That's not a joke either, I mean that very seriously, Australia is a better fit. It's the USA of the southern hemisphere (sorry Aussies, but tell me I'm wrong)

It's a process, but it can be done! Good luck!

The best piece of advice I was given, that I seldom see repeated is this: learn how the filesystem is structured.

It makes everything else easier

wait until you hear someone describe Nirvana as "an excellent example of late 20th century music" like some kind of fucking archeologist!

Unfortunately that's not going to happen. They're something people have become accustomed and addicted to. There's no going back now. The only hope for combating them is to come up with something at least as compelling, but hopefully less harmful. Like vaping is to smoking. What that is though, I have no idea.

The beatings will continue until morale improves

Anbernic rg34xx?

I have an rg35xx h (just a generic square thing) and I'm pretty happy with it. I play mostly GBA and some PSP games on it
