       | Doom is a great example of the absolutely disgusting rate
       | hardware advanced at in the 90s. Feels like we got much farther
       | in the ten years between Doom 1 (1993) and Doom 3 (2003), than in
       | the twenty between Doom 3 and 2023.

         | While Warhammer 40k darktide looks pretty similar in graphics
         | to Doom(2016) I am pretty impressed by how seamless the
         | multiplayer experience is. You got all those mobs running
         | towards your 4 player party and it all works seamlessly.
         | Multiplayer experience evolved a lot from where it was 10 years
         | ago.
