    God these people are dumb.

    Imagine thinking like that. Does this guy not know how technology works, has he been alive for only 5 minutes.

    If you want to see the rapid progress of technology go look at video games, 20 years ago if you had 30 polygons on screen at the same time you were doing well, now we have photo realistic graphics.

      As a 4090 owner, I can confidently say that we don’t have photorealistic graphics yet.

      But I get your point.

      Solid point, yeah, but 20 years ago was 2005.

      GTA: San Andreas released 21 years ago.

      Half-life 2 released 21 years ago.

      Morrowind released 23 years ago.

      Ocarina of Time released 27 years ago.

      Crash Bandicoot released 29 years ago.

      Star Fox released 32 years ago and had 500-600 tris on any given frame.

      DOOM also released the same year, but is not true 3D

      Obviously your point still stands, but full true 3D games were common by the late 90’s, and pseudo 3D games were prevelant as early as '92 with Wolfenstein 3D.

      Unfortunately, time flies.

        Twenty years ago was and will always be 1992, due to the world ending in 2012.

        You may see signs of continued world activities, but this is actually the post-world credits scene, which is expected to go on for 10 to the power of 97 years, and cost 10 to the power of 112 dollars when you account for inflation.
