Comment on Are those of us who grew up on older games more attuned to latency?

The other way around. I grew up playing games on PCs that were quite underpowered for a long time. I played Doom like this. Hell, I had to reduce screen size even in Wolfenstein 3D. I loved fog in GTA San Andreas because it reduced draw distance and when it was raining in Las Venturas, I had to look at my feet like I was speedrunning Goldeneye. I played through Oblivion in a 640 x 480 window and thought it looked amazing. I still have to fight not to turn off AA completely first time running a game on my RTX 3080 because it was the first thing to go for so long.

All of this trained my brain so now I have bulit-in antialiasing and frame generation. I don't give a shit. Give me a good art direction and gameplay loop and I can just generate smooth graphics in my head.
