it was invariably stuff like "you can save lots of money by buying cheaper brands, or even supermarket versions!!!"

"don't buy four times as much as you need and then throw most of it away!!"

"try cooking in batches!"

and at the end was always the big reveal of WOOOOW look how much you saved per month, and the "savings" were double what I have ever spent in my life, because they were having twelve takeaways a month and falling for shit like £6.40 for 200g of premium individually bagged moravian oats

there was this BBC programme in I think the 2000s or early 2010s, about "how to save money on food/shopping" and I fucking loathed it so intensely. And that was before another decade of fascism - sorry, "austerity" - made everything even worse

It featured a "real" couple every episode, and would take them through the ways they could save money. And every episode I saw, these couples were the most bougie money pissing arseholes you've ever seen. So all the advice was this smug, patronising shit that everyone who was poor even briefly already knows, and even a lot of people WITH money are smart enough to know too.

To-day I did again blunder, disturbing restful neighbourcatte, upon whose dismay I did rest cured meat in hope of forgiveness. Disdainful was proud neighbourcatte of said meat, though it be a rare purchase indeed and shared gladly. In spirit was my gesture understood, and met with entreaties for further, unknown meats, whose supply is of course lacking. I did abandon my intent to bask in sunlight, gaining nothing.

It was a sledgehammer made by two men who had also made parts of the machinery that the capitalist parasites (redundant) were using to further enrich themselves at everyone else's expense (further redundant). One of these men was named Enoch.

Hence its name, its use in smashing the machinery, and their saying: "Enoch made them; Enoch shall break them"

"ho ho ho, you can't expect a pc from seven years ago to play today's games!"

Why? Why not? Tell me. Apart from "it uses fancier tech". What difference does this actually make to your game? Why is some pleasant little tech frippery worth ten million perfectly functional computers going to landfull?

It's like this because you made it like this. If you told people they had to spend hundreds just to play a new album they would tell you to fuck off. It's all just rich people conning us again

genuinely though, this is just bad. The hardware race bullshit has come back these last few years, and there really is no difference between anything the games are actually doing compared to ten years ago. We hit diminishing marginal returns on shiny graphics over a decade ago, and even greater scale has mostly been used just for extra spectacle

The first new PC I ever bought was in early 2011. It was the first time I'd ever had enough money, and also the time when games had finally, FINALLY stepped off the hardware races for a while (largely because of gog and then steam opening distribution of older and small-scale independent games).

That PC, with only a bit of extra ram once or twice, was able to run games all the way up to red dead redemption 2 in early 2021. And it only struggled with that because of a specific incompatibility

this isn't luddism. It's not just me being poor either. There's just no reason, other than corporate greed and the mindless culture it's nurturted for 40+ years, that a computer from a decade ago shouldn't be able to play a modern game

Yes, the average corporate game will look shinier and demand more of the hardware. But it doesn't have to. Very little of that changes anything about what the game is

We don't do this with any other form of art or entertainment. It's entirely bad

because I have a very advanced and therefore terrible brain, I woke up earlier pondering how ridiculous and fucked up and outright bad it is that it's near universally accepted that games are just something that HAVE to become more demanding and "advanced" to play over time.

Despite being well into a second decade of the actual abilities of computer hardware being exactly the same

If someone starts out their advice/opinion with "I get up at 5am" I just skip the rest. That's not advice, that's a cat who learned to type so they could fuck with as many humans as possible

some games get judgey at the end of the level and think they can give you a mark, and they go "you get a D because you did not find all the secrets". To this I say, that is because they are none of my business

today we celebrate not glory hunter neil armstrong or memorably named buzz aldrin, but the third guy, who stayed off the moon in order to support the others. His name was... ah, shit. Uh, I want to say... Chris?
