That's basically what I played it on at launch.. was used to 8 & 16bit era 3D having very low frame rates so it didn't really bother me that much at the time.
listen, somebody needs to say it, 20 frames is not actually all that bad, people are always complaining that below like 40-50 fps is sluggish and painful but like, nah bro, 15 is when it actually starts being a problem, 20-30 is fine, don't get why people complain about that all the time tbh
When I was 12 I didn’t give a shit about the sub 20fps on my family’s Mac Mini. TF2 was fun even as a slideshow.
Also this is so real, I recently played L4D2 with a family member on our old 360 and the loading times and frame dips were distracting haha. It’s hard for me not to notice these days.
honestly yeah, I may not mind like 20 frames but the moment it starts fluctuating between two fps numbers at a 15 frame diff then it's a problem (unless it's over 80 frames then I don't even notice)
What nostalgia. Our school had plenty of Windows XP machines configured to much of the same theme. I'm saddened to let them go for these little itty-bitty Chromebooks.
Minor correction, if you may: a locked-down browser that so happens to be mediocre at pretending to be a fully-fledged OS. Those poor children, not at all grasping the concept of folders…
computer literacy is getting worse because people are using phones more than PCs. because of cloud based tooling people dont really understand what files are.
the irony was that mobile OSs were designed to be supplementary, not as a main system
I want to learn about computers just to build an old one into being a nice gaming PC
It’s like the computer version of having a clapped Honda w a turbo
There's a lot of old Dell Optiplex machines on eBay and Facebook Marketplace for cheap.
Definitely pick one up and play around with it. I built my first PC at 14 years old and It lead me to taking apart Chromeboxes to jailbreak them. Plus I'm the PC fixer in the friend group now.
Thank you for the rec! I feel like an older one will definitely be easier than like trying to build with a laptop or something, there’s a lot more room
The Optiplex in particular is a popular one to mod since they're so abundant. My PC shown here has a GT 610 and hot-swappable storage instead of a dusty old hard drive.
optifine's performance boost is negligible these days, sodium is MUCH better, there's also modpacks like "simply optimized" and "fabulously optimized" that help with more than just rendering
Honestly don’t see the problem it might be because of the ram? (you can allocate it pretty easily in certain launchers I suggest 4096mb) and if the igpu is lagging it put a 8 bit texture pack (this is how I got Minecraft running on 60 frames on a raspberry pi)

I am by no means belittling them; I simply wish the use of computers are better conveyed and taught in schools.

I bow before thee.
MY LAPTOP WAS RELEASED IN 2022. AND IT MAGICALLY PLAYS MINECRAFT (vanilla lowest settings across the board) AT AN AVERAGE OF.

maybe you'll get like, +4 fps
