Microsoft says 32GB of RAM is the “no-worries” upgrade for Windows 11 gaming
According to Microsoft's marketing material, for most players, 16GB RAM is a practical starting point.
Microsoft calls 16GB RAM a new baseline, but moving to 32GB RAM helps if you run Discord, browsers, or streaming tools alongside your games.
In Microsoft's words, "16GB RAM is the baseline; 32GB is the “no worries” upgrade."
"That extra memory also gives newer titles more breathing room as memory demands continue to rise," the company said.
What do you think? Do you really need 32GB RAM or more for the best experience on Windows 11?
I don’t usually share my thoughts about this, but after recent events today I need to talk about something that has been sitting on my mind for years. In case you haven’t heard: the author of Ganbare!Nakamura-kun!! was so brutally harassed (she even received death threats) that she couldn’t take it anymore and deactivated her social media 😥...
And no, unfortunately this is not the first time something like this has happened. We saw it happen with Horikoshi-sensei (My Hero Academia) too, when part of the fandom decided that the characters and the story had to go in the direction they wanted—leading to death threats, insults, and harassment. And he wasn’t the first either.
Criticism is always legitimate, but a part of the fandom has clearly crossed the line: from “I don't like this” to “this is wrong and you are wrong for doing it, change it or you are a bad person”, turning a valid opinion into harassment.
This is no longer about morals, it’s about control.
I feel like there is a tendency for some people to feel entitled to have everything tailor-made, catered to their personal taste. They appropriate characters and stories that don't belong to them, and expect the author to comply with their demands; if they don’t, they take it as a personal attack.
Creating is not about trying to appeal to everyone, it’s about exposing yourself, your ideas, your feelings . Give so many times full time of you...Seeing someone dedicate years of their life to sharing a story for people to enjoy, only to receive hate and harassment because it doesn't match someone’s expectations, is deeply disheartening.
And no, it's not about not being able to criticize. Analyzing, debating, or pointing out what we find uncomfortable is always healthy. I’m speaking out because this turns into a full-blown lynching. At that point, you are no longer defending values, but using them as an excuse to behave like a bully.
Artists aren’t your slaves 😥
Japanese and Thais have been fighting on Twitter all day. Here’s the tea lol:
A Thai man at a 7-11 attempted to buy a box of instant ramen. He opens it, pours hot water, and then goes to pay. Why? Because in Thailand this is common, as Thais live in a high interpersonal trust society and people can be trusted to pay for things at shops.
For added clarity, this practice is mostly done with noodles to save time and not much else.
However, in Japan, people are expected to pay for noodles before opening them. A Japanese 7-11 cashier corrects him. No problem. The man pays. Great learning experience. The video is shared online in case other Thais don’t know.
A Japanese nationalist account reposts the video: many Japanese netizens harshly criticise the Thai man, with many being racist and xenophobic, even attacking the man for not knowing how to insert cash into the machine, calling him backward, a country bumpkin, and stupid, etc.
Thais reacted by criticising the Japanese for their uptightness, saying how when Japanese tourists make mistakes, the Thai mindset and approach are to act calm and reasonable. Thais are confused why it’s so hard to adopt an “it’s okay” mindset, especially when no harm was caused. In Thailand, this is a quintessential mindset that Thais live by.
The Japanese side responds and basically says it doesn’t matter… you’re in Japan, and the Thai man is practically stealing.
Thais respond by saying, okay, understood but who attempts to steal and then goes to pay?
Thais then pull out receipts of all the times Japanese tourists have behaved badly in Thailand, pointing out that bad behaviour stemming from moral bankruptcy like discrimination, sexual assault, and theft is more common from Japanese tourists than from Thais, with many cases making headlines over the past few years alone.
Comments about Thailand being backward because the Thai man put the cash note in the wrong way were also met with confusion from the Thai side.
In Thailand, QR payments and e-wallets are the default payment methods, and most Thais now adopt this new-gen banking tech. Japan is still a cash heavy society and relies on older infrastructure habits.
It’s worth writing that not every Japanese comments are attacking the Thai man. Many are being reasonable and those who have travelled to Thailand have been pushing back against other Japanese netizens comments.
