I remembered an old game I played when I was a kid. There were no reliable downloads, so I spun up a brand new Win 11 VM to play it in, in case the .iso was some sort of disguised coin miner or something.

Anyways, it ended up working and being the real game (yay!) but the moral of the story is the VM + the entire game is about 12 GB, which is 10% the size of a lot of modern AAA titles.

I can have a whole other fucking computer running, dedicated to only this one game, for a tenth of the storage space of modern games.

    If you like smaller games with still good graphics and also like to steal other people's stuff and/or kill them, The Dark Mod is for you. Immersive stealth sim based on id Tech 4 (Doom 3). Textures look a bit outdated and no PBR - but gameplay is like old thief series with improvements and it has anti aliasing, soft shadows and screen space ambient occlusion.

    I am using about 1 TB for modded Skyrim and Fallout 4. I plan on upgrading my M.2 drives to 2T each to make more room. SSDs that are 2T are cheaper now.

    @Demolishun wtf? What are those mods? The biggest ones are usually HD textures but those are only a couple of GB.

    @Lensflare The official high def textures for Fallout 4 are 58GB.

    Modded Skyrim and Vanilla Skyrim are night and day. The difference between ultra realistic looking and blah. A typical modpack is around 200GB. I have a program that stages mods after download and assembles these giant modpacks for me.

    For me, the games that truly take my breath away are the ones full of excitement—like gambling games. The thrill of each spin or hand keeps me coming back for more. It’s the adrenaline rush that I love the most. If you’re also like gambling and looking for a great source of information for gamblers, I recommend https://pinup-bet.az/ is a fantastic site. It’s helped me discover new games and strategies.

    @pokergirl You had a positive score. Seeing your comment history, I made a correction to that, so that you have the score that a spammer deserves.
