Any of you feel like we’ve become so fixated on graphics and perfomance to the point where the actual game part of a video game is often overlooked, or at least underemphasized? I don’t know about the rest of you, but all I come across on social media regarding gaming is about resolution, ray tracing, DLSS/FSR, frame rates, frame time, CPU and GPU untilization, and all of that stuff, and I’m honestly sick of it! I mean performance markers have always been discussed when it comes to PC gaming, but now even console gaming is getting this treatment! Don’t you miss the days when you just installed the game and just played it? I know I do. What do you think?

        Thats an alert, meaning “trigger warning”,
        Usually you do use it to alert, before a click. Alert this content is gore, hard, etc

          Ah trigger warning. I’m familiar with CW (Content Warning), but wasn’t sure what the T stood for. Gracias.

          Celeste def needs that TW. Played it two months ago and now I’m questioning my gender. Maybe I’ll be able to do C sides if I get on E.

            C sides ? For Crossing ? 😅

            Happy for you, world would be better if people questionned their identity and gender more often.
            That could have been “TransitionWarning” XD,
