The dumbest part about linux is watching coreutils and systemd stuff take less than 512Mb of RAM only for any modern browser or electron app to take a fat 4gb dump all over it.

Compiz with all the fancy effects enabled only adds like 200-300Mb tops.

But rendering a crappy JS infested webpage requires 10 isolated processes because no one learned anything from 40+ years of computer security.

Epic is already teasing Unreal 6 as if Unreal 5 isn't the reason why every "AAA" release has had horrible lack of optimization.

Don't forget GPU makers struggling to justify the usual price increase for a "new generation" of cards, and - as a result - pivoting to selling cards the promote upscaling by default.

Not only do our games no longer run properly, they also look fucking blurry while doing so! Yaaaay.

!gaming is a community for gaming noobs through gaming aficionados. Unlike !games, we don’t take ourselves quite as serious. Shitposts and memes are welcome.

Our Rules:

1. Keep it civil.


Attack the argument, not the person. No racism/sexism/bigotry. Good faith argumentation only.


2. No sexism, racism, homophobia, transphobia or any other flavor of bigotry.


I should not need to explain this one.


3. No bots, spam or self-promotion.


Only approved bots, which follow the guidelines for bots set by the instance, are allowed.


4. Try not to repost anything posted within the past month.


Beyond that, go for it. Not everyone is on every site all the time.
