I’m usually tolerant of frame drops, especially when they make hard games easier (like on the N64), but I agree it has gotten much worse on recent consoles. Looking at you, Control on PS4 (seems like it should just have been a PS5 game with all the frame drops; even just unpausing freezes the game for multiple seconds).

I really got into it this year (early 30’s) and I am straight kicking my younger self, when I knew someone with 5 pet birds and I didn’t care!
