Just an observation on game engines (lemm.ee)

RE Engine: Monster Hunter, REMakes, DMC. All run beautifully

Idtech: Doom 2016 and Doom Eternal are super optimised on low end hardware

Then you have Unreal Engine 5 which needs top end hardware to run (Remnant 2, Lords of Fallen) and

Gamebryo/Creation which still has bugs from Morrowind in Starfield.

Not sure if related but City Skylines 2 needs several times $$ investment for slight improvements over Cities 1 on Unity

Now a splash screen either makes me smile or cringe. Just wished everything ran RE engine

  • I've built this table with a saw and it's level

  • I've built this table with an axe and it's not level

Does that mean that saw is superior to making tables? No, I just suck with an axe and it was far easier to chop the wood than saw it.

I would say 99.9999% of the times it's superior to make a table with a saw instead of an axe

[–] WereCat@lemmy.world 0 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Yes. But what if most people in your team suck at using saw?

[–] Frogster8@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

If they can't use a saw to chop something straight I'm sure as shit not trusting them to do it with an axe. I think it was a bad analogy.

[–] WereCat@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

See. It's easier to use but of an axe to hammer the nails rather than to use the handle of saw to hammer the nails. Both have advantages and disadvantages.
