Jesus wanted a more loving, peaceful world. Doesn't mean the Vatican isn't harmful to society.

The people that follow TB very much foster the belief that 30 fps is terrible, even if just the mouse in the menu screen is 30 fps they will dismiss the game. The thing is, TB has completely fostered and created this belief purposefully.

It's good to know if a game runs only at 30 fps, imo. Maybe I'll wait for a mod or a patch. Maybe I'll buy a game that supports 60 fps and looks nicer to me instead. What a horrible thing to do, to buy games based on your preferences.

30fps isn't a dealbreaker but it's always very obvious to me if a game runs at 30 vs 60, in fact I'm surprised that some people apparently can't tell the difference.

You can. Just run them in a 320x240 window with low video settings.

If you can't tell the difference, please see an ophthalmologist.

If you care to the point that you refuse to buy 30 FPS games, please see a psychiatrist.

i don't like playing PC games at 30 fps because it feels physically bad to look at the game. i also don't like using anything less than like 90 FOV. something like 60 FOV makes me nauseous which is why i had to mod GTA 5 to have a higher FOV in first person. sometimes i play game with 110 FOV which is like a full-on fish eye and i find it very soothing since then i'm very aware of my surroundings. but then again, i only mostly play multiplayer action games where 60 fps is pretty much mandatory if you want to actually hit something with a gun

welp that's my story

That's the same game though? I'm 100% any human being can't play a game and go "this one is 30 fps, this one is 60, this one is 40"

It's like the difference between 780 and 1080, negligible at best. Though it is hilarious that such a lovely low texture game runs at below 60 fps.

Yes it's different, but .000000001 and .000000002 are also different.

The AV cable is a really good comparison honestly. They both stem from turbo nerds pretending a small variance matters outside of outlier situations and convincing other nerds the same.

i can literally do just that with like 95% certainty. like i can tell the instant my framerate drops from 60 to 50

edit: i'm just glad i don't own a 144hz screen because then i would have probably gotten used to like 120 fps instead

Well duh, anyone can tell when it drops. I'm saying I doubt anyone can look at a fps locked game and just be like "yup, 45 fps on the dot :smug:"

but i can also do that. or well, i can tell if its locked 30 fps, and i can also tell if it's locked 60 fps, and i can also tell if it's somewhere in between though there's like a 5-10 fps margin of error there

edit: i mean i don't think i'm counting the frames in my head or anything, i'm just checking how smoothly stuff moves in the game world and making an estimation based on that. i've more or less memorized how smooth 20, 30, 40 or 60 fps looks using commands like cl_showfps 1

if u can't actially tell the difference betnwee 60 and 30 or 1080p and 720p ur a loving ididot. if u won't play a game because it runs at 30 fps ur an loving idiot.

The manger babies don't have feelings. You said it yourself.
if a game is locked to one particular framerate i don't really give a poo poo. it's really only when i see dips in frame rates that it can be really noticeable.

i.e. in tomb raider when the framerate dips whenever lara's pretty tressfx hair is on screen.

"Everyone's entitled to their point of view, but that's seriously a weird one."
1080 vs 720 can easily be an issue of how far away / how big your screen is.

it's why 4k is a bit of a wank, because unless you've got a massive loving screen you can't actually tell the difference

you would have to eb a full room distance away form a tiny screen not to be able to notice low res issues like thin/small/distant objects warping/disappearirng/fluttering

and no, u can, the eye is pretty good. those stupididstance vs res graphs thrown about are mostly bullshit
