I feel like some of the old cluttered WoW UIs might be an example of maximalism, by trying to show as much information as possible. altr

This is what I would actually consider maximalist UI. OP's is neither minimal or maximal, it's just overstylized UI.

Eve players: noooo... It's not just a spreadsheet

Veteran WoW players: hmm... I can still see the actual gameplay, lemme add another stat display

To be fair, they only had a thirty-two point three three uh, repeating of course, percentage, of survival.

Do you see my mana? What am I supposed to do for you?

I can't tell you how many fleet fights I literally disabled graphics and only had the overview and chat. Especially multiboxing, I might have one with graphics. Not necessary for most.

This is what LOL streams look like to me.

The 15 FPS indicator is the icing on the cake.

The standards we used to put up with...

The standards we used to put up with…

Back when games were measured by how enjoyable they were rather than a little number in the corner.

It's not enjoyable to play at low fps though? I don't get it

[–] ICastFist@programming.dev 1 points 4 hours ago

Or, in this case, but the amount of numbers in every corner 🙃

This looks like when you first discover that your Linux desktop environment supports adding infinite taskbars

[–] Buddahriffic@lemmy.world 2 points 5 hours ago

Lol I had all of those and then some but I also had enough resolution/UI scale that it was all tucked to the sides (other than the nice looking hp/mana bars that framed the middle of the screen).

Did the people who stood in fire do so because they couldn't even see what they were or weren't standing in? Should guilds have done fund raising to buy better GPUs and monitors to best help progression? Thinking back to when I had a hand in guild leadership, it didn't even occur to me to base any recruitment or raiding roster on PC specs, but it seems so obvious now in hindsight. Too bad I can't go back.

Healing back in the day was definitely like this.

This takes me back.
