You just had to call names instead of just disagreeing, grow up.

An audiophile does not say, "mono is good enough", an artist does not say "paint
by numbers is good enough", and someone who enjoys the graphics of a game, just
as much as playing, does not say "640x480x16bit is good enough". If that were
the case then everybody would still be playing Duke Nukem 3D.

If you don't care about the quality of the graphics and only want the game to be
smooth and stable, then get a Nintendo. Anybody who uses a computer for games
and does not care about this should be using a Nintendo for piece of mind, and
not wasting their money.
