        Right but even poor optimization is dealt with by SSD’s. I’m talking very poor optimization. Even mediocre cases still load quickly.

        SSD’s have made load times a non issue 90-95% of the time.

          Those 5-10‰ of the time are absolutely excruciating when you’ve gotten used to SSD gaming, though. Especially when you have moderate to severe ADHD so any kind of waiting sets the Gears of Distraction in motion lol.

          And it’s almost always an AAA game even though those are the ones with the LEAST excuse for not being optimized

            The whole point I’m making is this meme is a bit outdated. Anyone playing a AAA game in 2024 is presumably working with an SSD. The HDD crowd playing AAA games is vanishingly small. I challenge you even find a computer for sale with an internal HDD now. They’re just not being used except as large external storage now.
