–me in 2010 using console commands to turn off all the particle effects in Portal so that I could boost my fps to ~20 w/ minimum settings (the laptop did not have a graphics card lmao)
Reminds me when I first started pc gaming. I even doubled my RAM to 512mb! I found a mod that basically turned everything into basic polygons where the walls were just red planes, characters looked like minecraft, the guns looked like they were done by a brutalist architect after being verbally described to them. Ran a mean 45 fps, but you had to use something like CCleaner to clear the ram in between rounds.
I also had some sort Windows background process suppression software that would squeeze 2–3 more fps out for me. At the cost of occasionally bluescreening me lol
“i paid for the whole RAM imma use the whole RAM”

Basically a zoetrope at that point.
