The best summary for NMS I have read is "huge but shallow". There is so much stuff to do, but everything is so shallow that it becomes boring very fast

Seriously, people don't understand what "cache" means, maybe they should just create a ramdisk and install the game there to understand the concept.

I believe people with lots of RAM simply enjoy the feeling of theoretically being able to run everything, but they don't actually want processes to use that RAM, because it would deny them the theoretical possibility to run everything.

I jest, of course. The problem is that as a user you don't have that much control over which process should use your RAM, and also freeing RAM is hard. Chrome gobbling up your whole memory is good when you're using Chrome, but you don't get it back when you alt+tab back to your game

I was much more into Gameboy, SNES and later PlayStation than the DOS games that were available to me. However, once I really got into PC gaming, controllers felt extremely limiting to me and nowadays I cannot even use them anymore. I prefer mouse and keyboard even for racing games and platformers
