Case folding support is likely the main reason

Ebay? Id say Amazon is the much larger pusher of this shit. And now it's in everything

Keep in mind that on Windows this is pretty much guaranteed to fail because Windows is trash at dealing with IO. A hilarious fact if you install Windows on a virtual machine running under a Linux host it will get better IO benchmarks than if you were to install Windows on that machine bare metal.

It's also constantly thrashing the system with a bunch of b******* background IO so a big part of why this can work is that steamos is using Linux lol

You remember an era before streaming assets and preloading optimization lol. Also HDD are terrible at random IO amd transactional latency. Sequential read isn't the issue never was it was random IO and seek latency. You had to wait for the HDD to even get to the data in the first place to even start reading it. much like an SSD, SD cards don't suffer from that transactional latency.

Anyway the "larger" games I've played is probably cyberpunk, DRG, and i guess overwatch? I'm not exactly a huge AAA person I like a lot of indie titles. Vein is probably the most recent game on my list since its early access. A lot of historical games would be factorio, satisfactory, Dyson Sphere program, rimworld, valheim, endless dungeon, Risk of rain 2, things like that.

Settings are usually whatever max i can maintain near 60 with. First sacrifice is always shadows and extra lighting before textures

No they have FEX which translates x86 to arm instructions

What does the architecture of the CPU have to do with the disk format? Nothing lol, linux arm can use ext4, btrfs, xfs etc same as it's x86 counterpart

Manufacturers have wildly oversold you on how much speed you need to run a game. I use my SD card for almost all of my games on my steam deck none of them have any problems loading none of them load slowly.

Games are very good about preloading assets before they're needed

There is literally a thread somewhere on my Lemmy I need to try and find just recently that shows this perfectly. Someone made a thread asking how they can self host their images for backup from their phone and naturally everyone pointed them to immich. And they immediately started complaining and bitching that they could not access it from outside their local network. Instead of asking how to fix that they were like what the hell is the point if I have to be on the same Wi-Fi this is stupid. And they basically did not want to engage with the people being like hey you need to either make a reverse proxy or open a port on your router. They should not be self hosting

Meanwhile my costco milk seems to want to last a week+ past the date making me suspiciously sniff and sip it every time after the date

You really can't glean the information just by looking at it if you've literally never seen one before in your life. It's hard to Envision if you're just used to it, like I said I was a little slow to read it but I still know how I'm just not used to it so it's no longer instant . But I also can understand that if you've literally never seen one in your life and never had it mentioned to you you would really have no way to know what the difference between the big or the small hand was.

Now if you did sit and stare at it for long enough you could eventually figure it out as the hands moved but most people aren't going to sit there and stare at a clock for 10min to try and figure it out.

At the end of the day even mundane things can be a skill, and I do agree that there is a substantial lack of critical thinking as the generations go on it was a problem already in my generation much less these latest ones. All That No Child Left Behind and standardized testing crap really destroyed schools hard it went from critical thinking to just memorize the answer or skip the question if you don't know, asking questions became bad and unfortunately that's going to follow you into adulthood

There is many reasons it happened but not being able to read analog clocks was not one of them. I'm sorry that it upsets you so much that I don't agree but I feel like there's a better way to express it than what you chose.

I genuinely don't know where I would even find an analog clock anymore outside of school and I haven't been in school for more than 20 years. genuinely do not remember the last time I've seen an analog clock, and I work in a lot of public government offices who are usually pretty far behind the times but even they use digital clocks. to the point that I just went to look had a picture of one and it actually takes me a second to read now.

I don't understand why people are so obsessed on holding on to knowledge that is not relevant to your daily life, digital clocks are objectively better at the task of telling the time and it's what exists everywhere in life now I don't really fault anyone for not being able to read an analog.

If I had to Hazard a guess I guess it's probably just a lack of empathy? Or maybe that's not quite the correct word but inability to put yourself in another's place. They can't Envision someone not having knowledge that they have unless that person is stupid.
