Maybe one day all of the mega corporations on the internet will finally drive me from the internet itself and I'll finally do something useful with my time.

Until that day...

I didnt say anything abouth that, i meant in general, i myself play 90% retro games and the other 10% low spec games that thend to be indie since i only have a potato device and am poor. Dont know were that came from, although I agree with the fact that modern AAA gaming sucks but this felt agressive, so chill out m8.

I was making joke, not disagree with you. This is not Reddit.

Very much agree, the older games generally are better, and even the non-retro ones are generally low-spec.

I actually have a very high end Laptop but I also have a Tab problem (I don't close them often) which means even with Firefox I usually burn though a lot of the RAM on tabs (assuming I haven't clicked on the old ones yet after a restart)

Most of the really good games are older games, there are a few gems out there that are newer but a large majority of them are the old ones.
