!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.

This is why I don't play any AAAs in the post-UE5 era.
Pre-2019 is a goldmine for small size, high fidelity, and compelling story.
Xbone/ps4 was the last boon for PC gaming. 8 cores meant companies finally took multi threading seriously. But by the time the ps5 and series came out developers stopped bothering truly optimizing games. And the added resources of those machines meant they could get even lazier.
Everyone just brute forcing unreal to do what they wanted only made things worse. Everyone just wants to take the shortcut to release the game as quickly and shittily as possible.
Sony and MS are ending their console brands just in time!
I hate UE5 almost as much as I hate Citizens United. Like, I would use my genie wish responsibly, but there would be deliberation.
Lowkey:
"I wish temporal graphics technologies in video games were never invented and will never be invented."
That's like 90% of UE5 fixed.
