What's the worst that could happen?

If you feel any better: i think that modern requirements for games are bizarrely too high for relatively small gains over what we had 10 years ago.
- Yes, because
  developers can't be bothered to optimize the game if management breathes into their necks
  DRM like Denuvo tanks performance, ironically only for the people not pirating and thus paying for the game
- I'm still using a GTX 1070 and none of the games I play has had issues yet. The most recent games I've played on it were hitman 3, cult of the Lamb and Cross code. None of the games are that demanding but they were all good. I guess I just don't play AAA titles (although hitman 3 is AAA but older).
- By "optimizing" do you mean going through the source code and adding comments referring to Optimus Prime? Because that's called "optimus priming" and we had a whole two hours about it in coding camp.
  
  May want to see about a refund...
  
  Standard autobot documentation. Nice, nice. What's your TC?
Indie games my beloved
Ok but what crow time comic,
Edit, Crow Time is amazing
How "new" is this PC?
- Just purchased it from the bargain bin at Walmart two days ago! It's got state if the art features like 32-bit color (HDR is only 10-bit, so this is advanced!), 8 gigabytes, and it even comes with a built in PlayStation 2!
- Why, it was just yesterday when I... oh, come to think of it, that was nearly a decade ago. Huh.
  
  It's okay, we're in this together. Though, my rig runs just about everything at medium graphics without issue. Elden ring ran on high settings without dropping my frames to a noticeable level.
