    This might sound bad, and it is kind of bad, but there’s a silver lining:

    You know, all those codemonkeys who give jack shit to optimisation, because they expect you to upgrade your machine every two years or so? This is slowing down alongside Moore’s Law.

    …and eventually some tech breakthrough pops up, that allows computers to get even faster without relying so much on increased transistor count.

      I think about this all the time when I watch the impossible port videos on Modern Vintage Gamer.

      I think a ton of games could run better and in much lower end hardware if devs cared to optimize.
