12 days agoNo one here is mentioning that Crysis released right when single core processors were maxing out their clock speed while dual and quad core processors were basically brand new. It wasn’t obvious to software developers that we wouldn’t have 12GHz processors in a couple years. Instead, the entire industry would shift direction to add more cores to boost performance rather than sizing up each core.
So a big bottleneck for Crysis was that it would max out single core performance on every PC for years because single core clock speed didn’t improve very much after that point.
Microsoft and application developers treat the Documents folder like a total dumping ground for whatever random nonsense they can dream up. No wonder people look elsewhere. Need to store user files? Documents. A database? Documents. Giant cache files? Documents. Config? Documents. Executables? Fuck it put those in Documents too.
Why would I ever store my real documents in a folder so littered with shit that I can never find anything? It’s not like the search actually works.
Also as a Linux user myself and to head off any smugness, developers do the same thing with the home directory so users end up inventing weird ways to stay organized.
