Comment on I used to be a frame rate snob but owning a Steam Deck has made me realise the error of my ways

I’ve intentionally kept myself desensitized to higher frame rates over the years. I’ll occasionally go up to 60fps on some titles that really need it, but usually if I play most everything at 30fps I never am bothered by it.
I’ve sort of fine the same thing. Most console games are optimized around their ‘quality’ game mode. Many games will have the quality mode be a solid locked 30 fps while performance will be a low res, blurry mess running at an unlocked frame rate between 40-55 fps. I’ll happily play at 30 fps to avoid those issues.
Do not, my friends, become addicted to 60 fps. It will take hold of you, and you will resent its absence!
Don’t get addicted to 60? That’s the standard. We’ve moved on to “don’t get addicted to 144” because that is both easily achievable with moderately affordable hardware and widely supported now.
It’s a play on a Mad Max: Fury Road quote.

Same, having only budget build computers tend to make you not pathologically chase high frame rates.
