  • The other way around. I grew up playing games on PCs that were quite underpowered for a long time. I played Doom like this. Hell, I had to reduce screen size even in Wolfenstein 3D. I loved fog in GTA San Andreas because it reduced draw distance and when it was raining in Las Venturas, I had to look at my feet like I was speedrunning Goldeneye. I played through Oblivion in a 640 x 480 window and thought it looked amazing. I still have to fight not to turn off AA completely first time running a game on my RTX 3080 because it was the first thing to go for so long.

    All of this trained my brain so now I have bulit-in antialiasing and frame generation. I don’t give a shit. Give me good art direction and gameplay loop and I can just generate smooth graphics in my head.

    If you don’t use a seatbelt, a crash can turn your body into a projectile and kill someone else, so it’s not just “let the dumbasses die” scenario.

    Or so I heard on the internet. Sounds like it’s probably a thing, though no idea how common it is.
