Thank you to Alex from Low Spec Gamer for guest writing this script! You can check out his work here on Youtube https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCQkd05iAYed2-LOmhjzDG6g or over at Nebula https://nebula.app/lowspecgamer As we refocus the conversation about games around accessibility, there's one area that often gets overlooked. Technical accessibility can be just as important and as big a barrier for people as physical accessibility. Computer games can get expensive when you account for all of the parts that go into building even a modest gaming rig. And as games have exploded in budgets for dazzling particle effects and cutting edge graphics, it can cut out a lot of gamers from the experience. So how do developers go about making games that can be played on high and low end machines? ___________ Support the people who make this show, vote for future Extra History topics and get great perks at our Patreon! http://bit.ly/EHPatreon Subscribe & ! to our channel on YouTube at http://bit.ly/SubToEC Got more info about Extra Credits on our website at http://extracredits.site/ Grab your Extra Credits gear at the store! http://extracredits.store/ Watch this episode ad-free at https://watchnebula.com/extracredits ___________ Thanks for participating in this week's discussion!

This whole episode, even the ad, is so great, but before I get to it - - LIVE, IRL ZOE!!! Thank you for a look at my favorite gamer cat, and that we can tell she's relaxed, doesn't mind being on camera. Now, about the episode: I've always been exclusively a PC gamer, for all the reasons you mentioned. I had to wait 40 years, finally just to reach lower middle class. I have personal reasons not to play first person battle games, from melee to shooters, except for the first of the second-generation X-com games. X-Com: Enemy Within is easily the most resource-hungry game I've played. About 95% of my gaming has been whichever Sid Meier's Civilization has released. Thank you for speaking up for all of us who struggle to make ends meet. You're correct in thinking that gaming can be very important for mental-emotional health. When 40% of the US (still one of the richest countries) can't pay an unexpected $400 bill out of savings, we need to be able to game with a third-hand system. With that thought, you might want to check out SMCameron's Patreon, for tech updates on his development of Space Nerds in Space, a starship bridge simulator that runs in Linux, and needs few resources. Here's an article about the game, with some screen caps: https://bridgesim.net/discussion/2/game-space-nerds-in-space And now about Hello Fresh: I love that their carbon footprint is 25% lower than grocery shopping. As I've explained, I'm on disability income, working part-time as a janitor. I have a Kroger half a mile from my door, so I don't need to burn fossil fuel and lube to get affordable food. Maybe because my parents were children of the Depression, my food waste is only about 5%. And I get home-cooked meals, by a very good cook, because 3 years ago, I found out a good friend had been on the street for a year, homeless. He's easily been my best roommate ever. It helps that we'd gamed together, tabletop RPGs, for about 6 years, so we knew each other, pretty well. So we're pretty much operating a shelter here, with rescue houseplants, two rescue cats, gently used laptops, and my late Dad's last desktop. Don't worry, I can easily keep sending you a few dollars per month, and your content cheers me, greatly, on top of being educational. Stay safe, and give Zoe our love.
