Pixel art is much better than having shitty drawrings

I bought a $400 laptop that runs all games on maximum settings smoothly. Only memers that buy alienware crap pay more than $500 for a computer.

Which only goes to show how pretentious that shit really is. On the old CRT displays, you didn't see pixels as pixels. They displayed more like a matte texture which blended the edges better. Those old games only look like modern pixel art on modern digital displays. Not that these artsy-fartsy assholes would know anything about what made old games charming.

You know the main reason this "indie pixel art" stuff is selling is that it runs on toasters, right? If you look at all of the most popular PC games, you'll notice that they run on shit computers.

There's no way in fuck you're running any graphically up to date game with max settings at native resolution with a $400 laptop. Quit your bullshitting.

>>331833854
that's a blatant lie, try running csgo on a shit computer.

This.

It costs like 1000 dollars for a good gaming PC. That's why it's far more advisable to stick to consoles unless you're some basement dweller living with your mom and have a mcjob with no bills to pay

I'd rather have pixel art than pay twice or more for a 3d game(since it's more expensive to make).

Also since when is pixel art bad in general? If it's good or bad doesn't have anything to do with it being pixel art.
>>
>>331833854
Also because it's easier to make. Pixel art is just make the sprites and done. 3D requires modeling, textures, animation, lighting, etc, way more time consuming and harder to make.
>>
>>331834174
That's also bullshit. $400 will get you medium to high 720/1080P graphics. I was calling out anon because he has the fucking nerve to claim that he was essentially running games on ultra with a fucking laptop at that price point.

>>331829692
Can I get an example of a $400 laptop that could do these things? Looking to buy a laptop but I may as well get as much value for my money
>>
>>331835049
No laptop will. I left out that you would need a desktop at that price point to get decent performance.

wtf is a draw ring

What do you think decorations are for? Figures, miniatures and manga are the same
