      BuT hArDdRiVeS aRe ChEaP… and compressing textures just wastes CPU power when you need 18k textures that’re gonna be smeared to shit by TAA anyway.

      So, fuck compressing assets or worrying at all about optimization.

        Why is Liverpool and England star Trent Alexander-Arnold smearing my textures? You’d think he was too busy playing football…

    Oh the times when getting GTA from a friend required 30+ 3½" floppy disks IIRC. That plus making 5 or 6 round trips to friend’s house, because one of them almost always got corrupted during the zip process.

    And since no one had the disk space or knowhow to store the zip packets on HDD for the inevitable re-copying, had to redo the whole pack from scratch each time.

    Edit: disk->HDD
