Perhaps I could have gotten a laptop with a beefier GPU; my intel integrated GPU is *sweating* trying to render some of these scenes in Blender. But it's doing it.
I kinda have this vague opinion that it's good to not have to rely on "top end" hardware, that doing so puts you in a position of building or using or advocating for tech that many people can't access

@cwebber@social.coop also software written on garbage tier hardware just runs better, it's a fact

@cwebber@social.coop I miss the days of GPUs being "affordable"

@cwebber@social.coop agreed. Software is So inefficient. Constraints would cause devs to get creative. All devs should have a basic laptop with integrated GPU and 16 GB ram.

@cwebber@social.coop Cycles or Eevee? And yeah, this is part of why I love using a Chromebook with pmOS from time to time. :neofox_uwu:
