   SKYRIM REALLY HIT THE 24 BIT COLOR / INTEGRATED SOUND CARD TYPE OF SWEET SPOT IN GRAPHICAL FIDELITY WHERE DIMINISHING RETURNS KICK IN SUPER HARD FOR INCREASES IN TECHNOLOGY
   
   I SAID 2012 AS A JOKE BUT THINKING ABOOT IT -- MOST ADVANCEMENTS WE'VE SEEN IN VG GRAPHICS FOLLOWS THE FORMAT OF "REMEMBER WHEN THIS THING HAD TO BE EMULATED WITH CLEVER TRICKS? WELL WE CAN NOW SIMULATE IT IN REAL TIME FOR 10X PROCESSING COST"
   LIKE RAY TRACING
   WHOA!!!!!
   THIS AIN'T YOUR DADDY'S BAKED IN LIGHTMAP THAT A LEVEL DESIGNER WOULD CAREFULLY CONSIDER LIKE A STAGE LIGHT!!!!!
   
   ALSO REPOSTING A VIDEO OF SOME ADVANCEMENTS TO THE
   "REMEMBER WHEN THIS THING HAD TO BE EMULATED WITH CLEVER TRICKS?" AGAIN

     @nugger
     thinking back upon how many games recently force post garbage
     you NEED bloom
     you NEED TAA
     you NEED dof
     you NEED chromatic aberration
     you NEED to experience the game the way we intended, as a cinematic shit smear
     
     that bodycam or whatnot game, completely graphically unimpressive under the hood, but with 20 post effects and head bob suddenly people think they need a 5090 super max ultra to run it

     @nugger Graphics reached diminishing returns a long time ago.
     
     If only they use all that modern horsepower for better AI and interactive environments instead of rendering wrinkles on skin.
