What’s that game that makes you stare at your PC or console and think, yeah… it’s time for an upgrade. Or the one that actually pushed you over the edge and made you do it? (piefed.social)

Half-Life Alyx did that to me several years ago. Amazingly, it ran acceptably on an RX 580, but that game combined with a then-recent monitor upgrade to 1440p high refresh rate convinced me to upgrade my graphics card.

It damn well made me buy a $300 meta quest bullshit, now with Facebook logins.

The Valve Index was almost twice as much. And I just wanted to play HL Alyx.
