Ken M energy, haha

Anything with lava sauce, hnnng

Honda is releasing a new Prelude soon too, so probably was Prologue all along

Same, every now and then I'll get hopeful and do some research on the latest attempts to find a cure. Usually just end up more bummed about the situation haha

The benefit of having unused RAM is that every program you are using can remain in memory for quick multitasking access and when you go to launch a new program it can be loaded into that unused RAM without unloading any of the currently running programs. What part about that is a misunderstanding? Would the user be better off if the application in focus aggressively reserved RAM it didn't need to slow down every other running application? Because that's what Photoshop does

Consumer software running on a consumer OS should not be grabbing all available RAM just because. Doing so will cause other applications to be moved to swap and have to be loaded back into RAM when the user goes to use them. In a server environment doing something like running a SQL server it would make more sense to grab all available RAM and start aggressively caching frequently accessed data in RAM to present it sooner with the assumption that the server's primary role is to perform SQL operations as quickly as possible.

Specifically with Photoshop what would be the benefit of it be aggressively reserving RAM beyond what is needed to function?

This is only remotely true if you have a box dedicated to doing one single thing and nothing else. That is almost certainly not the case for the vast majority of Photoshop users

I mean, that's all they really do these days too. I've been playing since season 2 and there are definitely ups and downs across the history of the game. These days they've slowed down on new champs, like 2 a year or so. They've maybe gone a little trigger happy with item changes, but it doesn't bother me or my friend group too much. Like I said, gives us more opportunity to theory craft and less time for boring stale metas to set in. Game modes got boring for a while, but they're doing better these past couple years (Arena 2v2s is one of the best modes they've ever released)

As far as ruining it for people who like it how it is, I don't know anyone who fits that, but it's definitely possible people are getting alienated by changes. But I think it's okay alienating that small minority to keep the game alive and fresh for the vast majority

It's not for the whales, it's for the long time players like myself who like the game to stay fresh. Big changes give me new opportunities to theory craft and try new things, so I play more when there are big changes VS when things are stale and getting boring. Might be part of the reason people have a hard time learning the game though

Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island too! So stylized it could release today and still be considered beautiful

What the dog doin

Niagara's free version is still pretty great too. I usually pay for apps but don't want a subscription for my launcher, so I use it in free mode. Despite the limitations it's methodology of getting you to the app you're looking for as quickly as possible is a game changer. I don't know if I'll be able to go back to icons and folders + app drawer launchers haha
