fourteenfouron Cities Skylines 2 runs with 20fps on an Nvidia RTX4090

They screwed up the defaults. When I first loaded it was set to a resolution with a 24Hz refresh rate. Also the game looks bad with the default SMAA, it looks great if you change the advanced graphics settings to use TAA. I'm on a 3080 at 4K and after fiddling with settings it looks wonderful and is very playable. Unbelievable that they hosed the first impressions so much.

fourteenfouron Ask HN: Why is there no modern successor to the 3D Pinball games of yesteryear?

Pinball FX by Zen Studios is close. They have a large amount of fantasy tables and after getting the Williams license from Farsight they are slowly releasing more real tables. They also have some newer tables from Stern available. Farsight had far more real tables but they really let their software languish, hopefully Zen keeps improving.
