No memes/shitposts/low-effort posts, please.

That includes posts generated by LLMs. It doesn’t matter if you “don’t have the time” or “would’ve written the same anyway”, or if “everyone’s doing it geez get with the times”.

For now it’ll also include “AI”-assisted projects that haven't had at least two months of (public, verifiable) dev time behind them.

ITT: OP learns why reviewers take days to provide benchmarks for games. If you don't come with receipts, it's death by a thousand buts.

I once posted on /r/MacGaming how pleased I was that I could run Horizon Zero Dawn on my M2 Air using Crossover, and how it seemed (to me) to run better than on my massive, old, water-cooled PC with an Nvidia GTX1060. I wasn't getting 120fps or anything, in fact, it was closer to 20fps at times. But I was running HZD on a fanless laptop, on an architecture on which it was never designed to run.

Foolishly, I was expecting a chorus of folks saying "yeah, cool, nice!", but what I actually got were a bunch of folks demanding proof.

So I closed Reddit, because it wasn't worth the arsehole.
