[QUOTE="GrimCo, post: 9414845, member: 7044462"] Guilty. :D When i was in army, some of the guys that maintained our IFVs, moonlighted on the weekend as car mechanics (and maybe fixed my Alfa 159 couple of times for crate of beer :D ). Not just Ladas. Golf 2/3 n/a diesel is still king. Those suckers still roll on the streets. Same with Fiat Punto/Bravo, my SIL still drives one, 20 y old, big service was like 200 euros (cash price). When you drive that kind of car and want to maintain it for cheap, you take it to independent mechanic shop who doesn't mind some after hours work for cash, no receipt needed, and you hunt down parts yourself ( internet is cool thing, for most very popular cars, you can buy parts online cheap). Same with parts for older PCs, there are decent amount of them still floating around on internet. Even in my parts, prices of labour are going way up (i live in Croatia), and don't get me stared on prices of real estate. It's gone bonkers. But, digression aside. Modern 3d VTTs, even browser based, are getting resource intensive. Even browsers (looking at you Chrome) are getting resource hungry. Mid range gaming computer from 10 y ago might run them semi smooth for some time. But, as i said, you don't need 3d VTT to play. It does help, but honestly, to me, it just feels like playing not so good crpg. Now, if you want to play online using 3d VTT with all the bells and whistles, yea, it sucks, but you need to fork over for decent machine. [/QUOTE]
