So what you're saying is that our mods are the ones who actually fuel the whole madness?! :oops:
@Viajero what do you have to say for yourself!

lol they absolve themselves of any blame in that regard.

But its actually OK and true because in this one limited circumstance most reasonable people would agree with them.....unlike the original one I am referring to ofc which is quite the opposite.

Yep, went from 360 to One, then to Series X in that time.

You're in the wrong forum topic for substantiated facts, especially ones involving release dates! False memories are what matters in this topic....besides I've had fun on my console and that's all that counts :)..

..and runs away cackling 'Just wait until I get my dream XB Series X then it will be perfect, I'll even get more than 30 FPS and such fidelity in my favourite game if its released by then just you wait and see'

I have to admit, apart from some more RAM, a couple of newer RTX graphics cards that my old 1080ti paid for... and some SSD's here and there... I haven't seriously spent any cash on my PC for nearly 5 years. Still the same base I built back then (CPU, mobo, monitors etc)...changed my old Corsair 600-T case for another prettier Corsair one I got for free, apart from that it's still going strong.

Sure, but its more about how some explicitly said they were buying new PCs back then, clearly in anticipation of Star Citizen's imminent release!

Me since 2014; graphics card twice (because I buy those Nvidia x60 series stuff, they get old faster than higher end stuff. Cpu I got from my brother for free (or in fact for some dog caring, but I do not think that as work as those are nice dogs he has), brother wants always i7's and as soon as he negotiated with his wife he got i7 instead of that i5 that I got. Now mobo for said cpu, new ram. More SSD capacity over the years.

And well I have to say I really was gratefull afterwards that I did that upgrade last year (32 gb, 9th gen i5), because, well I study nowadays network security&network engineering, due to Covid restrictions we do not have meaningfull acces to resources of local engineering universitys computer lab. Most of work is done by virtualised local environments, and those ARE hungry for cpu-cores and RAM.

Good thing I bought my PC in 2013, then! :D

That said, I've upgraded the GPU once and HDDs too.

Other than graphics card and SSD, some 2014 hardware still quite performant. My CPU, motherboard, ram and everything else date from 2013-14 and are in the same ballpark as today's (32GB, 6-core 4.4Ghz Intel 49xx).

Without free CPU I would not had upgraded my rig....but well two additional cores were welcome.

By the same token, imagine not have 16GB of RAM in 2021.

Hey, i only just upgraded to 16Gb this year. Not everyone can always afford to remain up to date with hardware.

Its fair enough to take the mickey out of people who spend megabucks on a computer to play a game that doesn't exist and later turns out its not good enough to play that game. I don't think its fair enough to take the mickey out of people who don't have the money to upgrade.

Its like in the EDO performance thread, where you have people with top end nvidia cards saying performance is ok for them and the problem is other people's computers, they should upgrade.

I bought mine in 2014, only thing I've changed is added more drive space. It still runs most things fine although no longer on ultra settings. It does have 16GB of RAM though. I can actually turn setting up fairly high on Cyberpunk although I can't max everything.

Star Citizen can run fine sometimes but usually doesn't. I don't think my PC specs are to blame for that
