  The straw you use does nothing but make you feel better, which I would argue is harmful. You shouldn’t feel better for doing nothing when such large problems exist.

  Your use of the right straw is akin to you killing a single invasive ant in a rain forest, and saying you did your part to remove the invasive colony. You then spend every opportunity talking about how you killed that single ant, all while the ants have already multiplied and utterly nullified your non-effort contribution.

  Shipping barges, data centers, gas and coal burning are all many orders of magnitudes greater problems than what straw you use. In addition, these are all growing in use. Talk about that. Put your attention and action towards that. Not even meat consumption compares to it, yet most talking is about how we should all suffer and do our part, with no talk about solving the real and growing problem.

  I’m glad I stopped playing after I finished 2. Everything after felt wrong, and I always felt the game was a trilogy. 3 just never really showed up.

  Not sure how the game was so popular after they betrayed the original spirit, but I can only guess seeing things like this is difficult for people.

  I shit just fine in CO with holes. Year after year I even watched some of my shit spots grow beautiful flowers.

  You don’t own Colorado and it was there long before you. It will be there long after you. Remote forests handle our shit just fine. Dig deep enough and away from the trail or water, near some plants, and they will gobble it up no problem. The number of human hikers in remote places is minuscule.

  A bit wild to demand people shit in synthetic plastic bags they have to purchase and dump them in a landfill. “Leave no trace – except the giant plastic waste sites scarring the landscape everywhere”

  Now if you’re talking park trails and other heavily populated places? That’s different. It also isn’t “Colorado” it is a specific sub-specification.

  Why would I want to play at max settings? That adds very little to the gameplay for me.

  I can play any game tweaking settings, and I can render at 720p + upscale if a game is demanding. This makes nearly any game enjoyable.

  High settings are irrelevant, but if you want high settings, any AMD card from the past 2 years will more than deliver max performance for anything you throw at it.

  For a handheld, portable device that costs under $500, I am okay reducing graphics quality for portability and gameplay.

  This is nonsense and, frankly, sounds like guerrilla marketing for nvidia.

  All things considered, I can play any game I want on the steam deck, which has an old SoC by today’s standards. A newer AMD gpu can run anything at max settings on a linux machine.

  So again, either you are grossly misinformed or working for nvidia to sew gentle doubt. Either way, stop it.
