I’d absolutely take a large amount of crap wood for purposes where quality doesn’t matter, but your usage of acres suggests to me that there’s a bit of water between us

And even now any peasant can do it, it just takes a ridiculous amount of time to do it all by hand just as it did then.

Oak trees grow a long time but they’re very strong and get quite big

Yeah but compared to 1.5 years ago, storage is up 2x at least. Even HDDs are more expensive than same size NVME SSDs used to be, it seems.

They throw in massive poly count models with high resolution textures and ever bigger game worlds, then (on PC) let you scale down the quality.
Only real solution is having high res textures as a separate download which some games do but if the console can handle them anyway, there’s less reason, compared to PC where you might have a lower end graphics card that can’t handle 4K textures anyway

Current gen consoles have NVMe thankfully so that bullshit is now obsolete at least
- Comment on Epic's Tim Sweeney believes AI notices on Steam are a "political statement" for the "hate mob" 1 week ago:
It’s actually easier to grab the games from their website because the old launcher is so slow. New one is a bit better, but at the end of the day it’s still a wrapper for the website.

They’re costing Epic money and not actually playing the games so idk who fell for the bait tbh
- Comment on Has anybody else kinda pieced together the story of the last person who had their new phone number? 2 weeks ago:
Lazy, lives or lived with family members, is or was Russian. I’ve gotten more from the texts than the calls since I’d always just say wrong number when someone started talking in Russian. Has been years since I’ve gotten any of either though.
Was definitely still alive when they changed the number, might still be, I just get zero information now lol

It took Steam more like a decade till people didn’t hate it tbh. Does nobody remember the steam logo anal gif? Steam was forced on anyone who wanted to play HL2 and nobody liked it.

It’s not difficult to understand. Decades of getting things right makes you think you’re always right about the future.
Let’s not forget he’s not just some appointed CEO. He’s the founder, he’s been running it since 1991. Before the Fortnite billions and the EGS exclusive issues, Epic was beloved because they made a solid engine you could use for free until you earn enough to pay royalties and they gave out grants to game devs (yes, grants, not investments). Literally the only difference between him and GabeN is that he let the success go to his head, whereas GabeN realized he has a golden goose and killing it would be idiotic.
