Steam data is hardly skewed towards a data center with a lot of RAM, and supports the idea of 16 GB being the default for most users, with a newly increased trend towards 32 GB (that is very likely going to be shattered and revert to 16 GB in 2026 given the current scenario).

I heard some people are starting to go for older CPU and older gen RAM out of desperation.
So the amount of RAM is half of the story. Many will not be able to build setups with the current gen of RAM.
I know I will be stuck to DDR4 for a while...
Why would the average drop? People already have the RAM so wouldn't we just see it stagnate?
As old computers age out of gaming-worthiness and/or just die, new computers are built to replace them, and the high cost of memory may force some to get less RAM.
But wouldn't people just stick with their current PC instead of downgrade?
Especially because they very likely can get a better CPU with the same socket, and a better graphics card.
I find it hard to imagine a scenario where you would go to less RAM instead of keeping what you have.
What if your GPU or RAM dies?
I mean as long as your PC is still viable, sure. But at some point even a partial downgrade can be an upgrade in some ways.
Yeah but we are talking about a widespread drop in the average, which I'd think would be more influenced by people upgrading (or not) rather than gear dying.
I have a laptop with 32gb of ddr5 ram. It feels a bit slow on windows for work stuff.
On endeavour os (arch btw), it is blazingly fast
People already have the RAM
Pre-builts and laptops are reverting to 16 GB as default, and those represent the vast majority of yearly PC hardware sales.
Among gamers?
I didn't even realise 32 was standard, I've really only seen 8 or 16 for normal consumer grade stuff.
Windows doesn't even work anymore in 8GB computers. So I'll be really surprised if 12GB wasn't the mode, in a strongly high-skewed distribution.
Where meme?
anti-ai bots don't understand humor, just hatred and outrage
Fuck gen-AI though.
Yeah well, I don't like crunchy peanut butter but I don't make it my entire identity or treat anyone who disagrees as a mortal enemy.
I don't like crunchy peanut butter
HERETIC!! To the pyre with you!
You don't mind generalization though.
I sure did insult the anti-ai bots, you are right about that.
That should not offend people that are not bots.
You may have your opinions and be a human, but that is not true of everyone who posts on this topic.
If you're reading 'bots' as 'people I think are dumb' or 'NPCs IRL' instead of 'automated posting done with the use of LLM augmented human agents coordinating in teams' then we're probably having two different conversations.
I mean, you did imply that I make people who disagree with me my personal enemies based on me commenting "Fuck gen-AI though".
I mean, you did imply that I make people who disagree with me my personal enemies based on me commenting “Fuck gen-AI though”.
I didn't say you were not a bot, I only allowed that you were possibly a regular human. Though it is sus that you're anti-AI and also being offended on the behalf of bots, hmmmm
And why should LLM-bots post anti-AI messages?
The same reason an LLM does anything, because a human prompted them to.
Okay, whatever. Leave me alone, I don't have any cake recipes for you.
I knew it was a lie
My RAM also comes in fractional numbers. 🙄
Is there a meme community on the fediverse that is active and bans screenshots of text?
A meme (/miːm/ ⓘ; MEEM)[1][2][3] is an idea, behavior, or style that spreads by means of imitation from person to person within a culture and often carries symbolic meaning representing a particular phenomenon or theme.[4] A meme acts as a unit for carrying cultural ideas, symbols, or practices, that can be transmitted from one mind to another through writing, speech, gestures, rituals, or other imitable phenomena with a mimicked theme.

"average person eats 3 spiders a year" factoid actualy [sic] just statistical error. average person eats 0 spiders per year. Spiders Georg, who lives in cave & eats over 10,000 each day, is an outlier adn [sic] should not have been counted
Max Lavergne, Tumblr[1][2]
"Spiders Georg" is an internet meme that began circulating on the microblogging website Tumblr in 2013. It was created by Max Lavergne as a humorous post involving a common misconception about the average number of spiders accidentally swallowed per year by each human. The post saw an increase in popularity the following year, and the format of the meme has been adapted to other topics, mimicking the spelling and grammatical errors of the original post.
Now suck on that for a while.
No. I tried to bring that forward here, but simply speaking, not enough people actually care.
Hey mate you can always create your own community or full on instance if you want to. That’s kinda the point of the fediverse
Maybe they’ll be forced to spend their time making good games instead of flashier more hyper realistic ones
