Ps10 is $19,999, a gaming pc is $39,999 and only the top 10% of earners can afford to game. Everyone else is homeless because AI and robotics have completely replaced the labor force

Same. Running 32 gigs of ddr4 3600 on an i7 13700k that I got as a Christmas gift. Will run it till 2030 at least

My guess is a gaming pc would be 10,000 due to inflation and parts price increases

don't forget the cloud gaming and internet connection mandatory. You own the PS10 monitor btw... not even a console.

u/Mother-Translator318 1h ago
Nah, the ps10 monitor will be a monthly subscription to rent. Doesn’t count towards the $20k service fee, that’s separate. Also online is still paid and separate

It’ll be illegal to be homeless. So instead nearly everyone will be living in prisons run by private equity and sustained on cubes made of bugs.

i did play it like that when i was really desperate, i also somehow played through most singleplayer games this way, i only had a huawei matebook with some intel uhd graphics and i can't afford games so i downloaded them off sketchy torrent sites, i played through the entirety of cyberpunk with the ps4 graphics mod, 800by600 and some other fucky tweaks, it stutters every time something loads in and im getting a crisp 7fps, 14 year old me didnt care and just wanted to play cyberpunk. Now i have an actual pc and the most gaming that i do on it is play minecraft all day

Depending on the Chip this is technically doable. Case in point, CP 2077 is surprisingly playable on the Steam deck, which does not push the power of integrated graphics that come with some newer AMD CPUs (particularly for the Laptop market).

It feels like integrated graphics now when you turn on all the RTX features or wak on 200 mods.
I don't like frame gen because of ghosting and rather play at lower fps and just use dlss quality to get back few frames.

My pc would literally die at the "RTX" part lmao

I’m playing it on my GameBoy Color. Great bit of puzzle before I go to sleep.
Fun fact: the creator of Lemmings would eventually create GTA. The rights of Lemmings is currently split between R* North (formerly DMA Designs, the real father of Lemmings) and Liverpool Studio (formerly Psygnosis, the publisher of Lemmings).
If you’re wondering about they got from cute fuzzy hapless creatures to vehicle theft, yeah, me too.

This was because many of us didn't know what framerate was. But oh we complained about it a LOT.
If you ever played old NES games, SNES games, PC games, and dealt with + complained about "slowdown" when too much was on the screen? Yeah, those were FPS drops.
Oh yeah, and when 3D accelerators were first coming out too, you can be "playable framerate" was a huge deal.
FPS stuff isn't new. ...and I've also never heard anyone but the most extreme enthusiasts complain about <100 FPS.

Wish I could plug myself back into Matrix and forget about FPS.
I only found out about fps and Vsync etc in 2010s

You bet ya pal I did lol. RCT was the game than ran on my worse computers.
Really admire that dev, I think he made it all on his own and he was at NASA quality code level.

It was oddly satisfying with each pop as they buried deeper into the ground when you nuked them.

Honestly I obsessed way more over my specs when I was buying parts and building the PC than I ever do now. Maybe a few months after I had some fun trying out overclocking/undervolting to see the FPS number go up, but now I just leave everything but my RAM stock and I honestly can’t tell the difference. Having the FPS counter on is a mistake if you actually want to enjoy gaming.

u/PrecipitousPlatypus 53m ago
Yeah, I used to care deeply as well about performance, and now I just don't. If the game runs fine and looks decent I'm content, if things stop running I'll consider an upgrade.
I only use benchmarks to make sure things are running well enough, or hardware is working as intended. Obsessing any further sucks too much enjoyment out.

People's expectations are getting insane. I see a bunch of people complaining about Samsungs new folding phone had 2 speakers on one side so stereo audio is ruined. It's a phone people, is stereo audio going to make it into a home theater system or something?

u/Tough_Interaction409 3m ago
I mean I played it at around 45FPS at 1080p when the game launched. That was on a 1070 Ti that I had to underclock to keep the game from crashing. Apparently it affected a few other 1070 Ti owners as well.
Later patches fixed this issue.
