I have a problem with that last sentence. Because larger files do take longer to load from storage into main memory, and then longer to load into VRAM from main memory. Also, with larger files, you can't keep them cached and ready to be reused, because you have to free that memory for other large files.
Your argument might be true if computers generally had RAM and/or VRAM larger than the entire game. But when games are 200+GB and typical main memory is 16-32GB for most folks, and only 64-128GB at the higher end, you know data will have to be shuffled around. VRAM situation is more dire: typical is 6-8GB, high end is 12-16GB and absolute max is 20-24GB.
Yes, faster storage and faster RAM help, but all those loads and unloads of huge chunks of data do take up time, cause stutters, or absurdly long loading screens despite the high performance components.
OPTIMIZE YOUR GAMES. Lossy compression is fine, and uncompressed assets should be optional downloads.
And, apple deserves easily 10x the mockery they get for these nonsense decisions.
Ram shouldn't soldered. But, if it has to be, it should be astronomically more than needed today. 8GB systems were insufficient in 2006, and unified memory controllers weren't the issue. My desktop has 64Gb of RAM and I can fully max that out effortlessly.
Strictly, no. Cropped mirror-shot selfies are more Instagram than photography. Appropriate for social media and sharing with friends, but not (on their own) a good representation of the art form.
But you are cute. And I'm not trying to hurt your self-esteem. Just understand you'll be getting a lot of down votes.
Same here but in 2019, 15kW system, and I have 3 Powerwall modules. I purchased mine with loans and then paid the loans off ahead of schedule.
I hate this. There's nothing I can do about it personally but it makes me deeply upset.
It takes tremendous bravery. but also, support from family and friends. it's learning a whole new set of performative skills, but speedrunning it.
A close friend of mine just had her mom do her nails before a weekend long date with her (long distance) boyfriend. I thought that was such a sweet and subtle way to show support for her. Mind you, the couple I'm talking about are in their late 30s.
Prison for the rest of his life, to set a precedent that Nobody is above the law. And that all conmen deserve punishment.
Sure does, and I hate it. If they add more ads, I'm going to cancel nitro and move elsewhere.
