Just heard someone refer to Y2K as "a worry about nothing, because nothing actually ended up failing"

It's disappointing anyone remembers it that way because my understanding is that Y2K was a success story BECAUSE of hard work by programmers to resolve problems ahead of time so that nothing failed

Speaking personally, anytime a game asks me this, I always pick the "Performance" option every time: I want it to look as good as it can at 60fps or higher โ˜บ๏ธ

Genuinely think the popularity of the CoD series in the 2000s is because they stayed at 60hz while everyone was taking a detour through 30fps

I used to hate it, but now I appreciate that it actually forces a fairly common style of formatting code, which is something that a lot of teams have to enforce in 'C-like' languages with version control tooling
I'm still not sure overall about it, but I do see the positives.
