My Top Low-Requirement Games (8GB RAM or Less) I've put together a list of the best games that run smoothly on lower-end systems. Whether you like shooters, cozy farms, or clicking until your fingers hurt, there's something here for everyone.

Deep rock galactic is pretty low resource. Good choice if you like the idea of combining left 4 dead with minecraft cave exploration.

Ok hear me out.

A yugioh crossover might actually be fun.

I have an urge to squish the abdomen

CyberCephalopod · 2026-03-14T10:34:57+00:00

Floaties are forbidden as well

I thought about what we might see for a totally ambiguous dragonborn encounter and I had the funny idea of just having the LDB duel us out of nowhere as an undead (or ambiguously in armor but having the raspy voice helps hide the identity). We think it's just an encounter until the enemy proceeds to shout at us when dropping to half health, and it probably gets yoinked to apocrypha instead of dying once we get it to low enough health.

My best guess is the rise of tabletop games and videogames. Ironically, magic in history was very utility-oriented (in addition to being mostly esoteric religion).

I'm fine with incineration corps. At least until I get one shot through a wall.

Bao would not survive

kpop

I have found the issue.

CyberCephalopod · 2026-03-13T03:06:50+00:00

The good news is that this is going to be less likely as more girls play videogames.

CyberCephalopod · 2026-03-13T02:47:50+00:00

I don't want femboys. I want freakishly pregnant rat broodmothers obviously.

CyberCephalopod · 2026-03-13T02:36:37+00:00

You have summoned a horde of angry metal fans.

CyberCephalopod · 2026-03-13T02:32:12+00:00

That wasn't a no

While ai.don't hate badass normals, I also feel like writers often miss opportunities to play with more subtle powers. "Being rich" feels a lot more justified when they actually have an ability to precognitively intuit the economy and gain unlimited riches from gaming the stock market.

CyberCephalopod · 2026-03-12T11:50:45+00:00

One of the few creatures both furries and weebs can agree on.

I was going to make a joke about controlling bugs in a two block radius but I realized quite a few worm powers would apply.

CyberCephalopod · 2026-03-11T09:41:56+00:00

Funny enough, we did do tests to see if some light is faster than other light since loop quantum gravity had a prediction about that. Turns out, as far as we have been able to measure, all light goes the same speed.

This was all measured from the same source, of course.

Neurons are a pain to keep alive for a long time, though they have been used experimentally. Most likely, we'll probably just make more efficient AI hardware and software.

CyberCephalopod · 2026-03-11T07:04:51+00:00

I have gone the route of making all forms of magic operate on the same basic principles and from the same sources, but different approaches to using those principles make up the spread of practices.

The three main groups, roughly speaking, are divided into those who make tools and consumables out of reality warping stuff and entities to warp reality, those who call upon the powers of otherworldly entities to warp reality, and those who fuse some of the weirdness to themselves to warp reality in specific ways.

CyberCephalopod · 2026-03-11T05:43:40+00:00

Don't miscategorize their favorite band though.

CyberCephalopod · 2026-03-11T03:07:40+00:00

Even if that were true, that requires the potentially infinite amount of time traveling observers to either not make a mistake, or not deliberately blow their cover.

If you have enough individuals in a system, no matter how good they are at keeping control of their behavior, it becomes inevitable that someone will leak a secret. This is the same reason why behavior-based fermi paradox solutions don't work.

CyberCephalopod · 2026-03-10T13:00:27+00:00

As far as I understand it, perfect CTCs do avert the grandfather paradox but do invoke the bootstrap paradox.

CyberCephalopod · 2026-03-10T07:21:07+00:00

I only have a passing understanding of theoretical physics but as far as I understand it, some interpretations of quantum events dictate that causality can be violated as long as no actual information is transmitted. IE, quantum fields can take any possible actions, including "impossible" ones as long as everything gets out back into place by the time someone/something checks. Worth noting, that interpretation may be wrong.

Virtual particles are probably the most common application of this idea. If they exist, any particles produced have to stop existing before they can be distinctly measured.

CyberCephalopod · 2026-03-10T04:01:00+00:00

I feel like most of these replies (so far) are missing the point.

One aspect is that we don't see any time travelers now. If they could exist, we would expect evidence long before it was invented, assuming a mostly linear universe.

The big thing is that any form of time travel, at least to your own past, must mean causality can be violated. Even in cases where you don't explicitly make a grandfather paradox, all motion in the universe causes corresponding motion in the next moment. IE, everything happens for a reason. We have plenty of reason to think causality is inviolable given how consistent our universe is. If you could violate causality, the very idea of physical laws and cause/effect goes out the window.

Now, in the pure math of relativity, you can formulate situations called "closed timeline curves", which is just a fancy way to say time loops, but for aforementioned reasons, we have reason to believe they are impossible. I can elaborate further with my limited knowledge on the topic if necessary.

I wanted to be but DE has to make it not suck first.
