Currently trying to refund the new Indiana Jones game because it's unplayable without raytracing cri. My card isn't even old, it's just 8GB of VRAM is the absolute minimum apparently so my mobile 3060 is now useless. I miss when I used to be able to play new games in 2014 on my shitty AMD card at 20fps, yeah it didn't look great but developers still included a very low graphics option for people like me. Now you need to be upgrading every 2 years to keep up.

All of the boomer game devs that had to code games for like a 486 have now retired, replaced with people who nVidia or AMD can jangle shiny keys in front of to make their whole games around graphics tech like cloth physics and now ray tracing.

This is why solo or small team indie devs are the only devs I give a shit about. Good games that run well, are generally cheap, and aren't bloated messes.

I just want to punch nazis why does it have to matter if the reflection of a pigeon off screen appears in Indiana Jones' eyes??
