You know, it's perfectly valid to say that games in the past were better because they delivered decent graphics at a fraction of today's performance cost. Or because they had better artstyle. Or because they were made by more talented devs who were much better at cutting corners, at trimming the fat. Or because they knew which gimmicks to keep and which ones to discard. Or saying that the graphical advancements of the current gen are way too lacking to justify the increased performance demands. Or that older games were just better.
Or all of the above, they're reasonable things to say.
But as soon as you say "yeah bro new games all look like total shit, the best looking games were made in [the last year when my GPU could still handle new titles] and all the new stuff is worse" you're signalling to everyone that you're completely checked out of vidya and that you don't play new games. Like the fags who say basketball was never good again after [year they stopped following the sport]. Games are overall graphically more advanced now, maybe they don't run as well as we wanted or look as beautiful as we wanted, and when you compare a 2025 technical blunder to a 2018 technical masterpiece then of course the newer game will seem graphically worse. But they are more graphically advanced overall. And whenever you deny this, you're basically broadcasting to everyone that you didn't even bother pirating any new games because you already know your GTX1650 won't have a good time with them.
Just stick to the sensible truth and stop hyperembellishing like a tantrum-throwing woman.
