Rules:
- 1: No spam or advertising. This basically means no linking to your own content on blogs, YouTube, Twitch, etc.
- 2: No bigotry or gatekeeping. This should be obvious, but neither of those things will be tolerated. This goes for linked content too; if the site has some heavy "anti-woke" energy, you probably shouldn't be posting it here.
- 3: No untagged game spoilers. If the game was recently released or not released at all yet, use the Spoiler tag (the little ⚠️ button) in the body text, and avoid typing spoilers in the title. It should also be avoided to openly talk about major story spoilers, even in old games.

30fps is not a stylistic choice, it's due to hardware limitations. A higher framerate with no motion blur is preferable in nearly all circumstances.
Sure you 'get used to it', but I could say the same thing for playing games while in a room with a strobe light flashing in my eyes. Yeah my gaming experience isn't materially different, but I'd be a lot more comfortable in better circumstances.
Once you're used to higher framerates, 30fps is a big downgrade, with motion blur smearing things around to keep it from looking like a slideshow.
