Multi-core CPUs were still starting out to be fair, but they were definitely at least somewhat mainstream by the time of the 360/ps3. The 360 was tri-core, and was considered easier to develop for since all three of those cores shared resources. Meanwhile, the cell architecture is hard to develop for even by modern standards. As such, most games only made use of the PPE and left the SPE alone.
On the one hand I think it’s kinda just the natural progression of things. The reason we haven’t been feeling the need for huge storage is because hard drives underwent a huge boom that rapidly outpaced our memory needs. Like even 10 years ago, 1TB was pretty much the standard, and kinda still is. We also used to have optical disks that most of the game data would just live on.
On the other hand, there is no reason for a remake of a PS2 game to take up 70 gigs.
I’m talking more so about HDDs, which were still very prevalent back then. SDDs wouldn’t hit similar size to price for a few more years.
I had a mid-range laptop back then that was at least 500+ gigs with a HDD. And when I got my desktop, which was a hand-me-down 2012 dell inspiron from my grandmother, it had a 2TB HDD.
These days SSDs are fast and cheap, so the 1TB standard not really changing a ton has more to do with the switch from HDDs to SSDs.
I could be misremembering a few things here, so feel free to correct me.
I’m in the fourth camp of “I used to think I had zero artistic talent, and so I was really hyped for AI art to get good, but then I actually got half decent at art myself, and now I don’t want people to fall into this hole like I did because they think they’re too technical minded or it’s too late for them to learn art”, which may or may not just be the second camp.
I acknowledge there are people who genuinely enjoy doing AI art, and I have seen some good creative stuff done with it. But I think there’s not enough focus on learning that art for yourself, and I side with the “soul creativity” camp on the argument that there is some aspect of human-made art that won’t ever be replicated by AI.

Lost a couple hours of work on the snap version of krita since it couldn’t save the file for some reason. Switched away from Ubuntu as a whole after that experience.
Honestly, fish is the only thing I hate about Garuda. The variety of commands is good, but doing any kinda scripting in it physically hurts me. Wish they kinda just stuck with a more conventional shell like zsh.
House of Leaves. It’s a book that’s been around for a bit, but I believe that it got popular with the zoomers because it was an inspiration for myhouse.wad

Cool. It should still use it though. If for nothing else than the parallelization improvements it allows.
If we stuck with the “it works fine so I’m not moving away from it” approach then we’d all still be on x11. Nvidia sucks and they should be more of a team player, but I think they were right to push for explicit sync over implicit. We should’ve been doing this from the beginning on wayland.
Honestly I felt the same way until I got some RGB stuff. It really is just superficial, but it’s a vibe. Trying to rationalize purely aesthetic decisions would be stupid.
