I've recently seen a trend in tech communities on lemmy where people have developed this mentality that computer hardware is as disposable as a compostable cup, and that after 10-15 years you should just chuck it in the bin and get something new. If someone asks for tech support, they'll just be told to buy new hardware. If someone is saddened their hardware is no longer supported by software they are just entitled, need to pull up their bootstraps, and "only" spend $100 to get something used that will also not be supported in 5 years. It doesn't matter if there is actual information out there that'll help them either. If the hardware is old, people will unanimously decide that nothing can be done.
I've seen this even in linux communities, what happened to people giving a damn about e-waste? Why is the solution always to just throw money at the problem? It's infuriating. I've half a mind to just block every tech/software community other than the ones on hexbear at this point.
thats not one i’ve tried personally but yeah thats most of what i hear about it. more than “finally a new stalker game! its awesome!” its just people complaining that it runs like shit because the engine sucks. apparently if you can get beyond that there’s fun to he had tho
I put about 20 hours into it and then there were like 4 game breaking bugs that there was no workaround for. Not reinstalling until the game is, you know. Finished.
