What’s that game that makes you stare at your PC or console and think, yeah… it’s time for an upgrade. Or the one that actually pushed you over the edge and made you do it? (piefed.social)

The one game that has gotten me to upgrade my PC so far has been minecraft :3.. I ended up getting a better CPU and doubled the RAM in it

    I never really understood why Minecraft requires high specs.

    It's not a very well optimized game :3

    There's no LOD system so stuff far away is rendered at full detail, and it also renders stuff you can't see like caves, on top of running primarily on a single core, so once you try to play on higher settings, with shaders or mods, or when you build big builds with lots of entities, like if you have farms or use a lot of item frames or armour stands the game really starts struggling to keep up :3.. there are optimization mods for it tho, which makes the performance a lot better (with sodium + lithium I can usually increase my FPS by 200-300%)
