1mb 1999 memory card just stored save files... save files today are also pretty small. I think I've seen some saves today that are like 20mb. Im sure some are bigger, but even 100mb save is whatever these days.

This should have just shown a disc or cartridge that would represent 650mb for disc, and an N64 game could hold 64mb to compare it to today's 150gb games.

I still don't get the big deal. The resolution back then was 480 so textures took up nothing. Today, we have huge games with a crazy amount of unique assets all made for 4k resolution. Somethings gotta give!

Here's the IBM 305 RAMAC, which stored up to 3.75 MB in 1956, less than 70 years ago. Imagine what computers will be another 70 years from now.

Sometimes I wonder if maybe consumer electronics should have some sort of off-the-shelf maximum on hardware specs. Only so much storage, RAM, and such. Individuals would still be free to purchase and install better components, but software developers would be incentivized to keep programmes lightweight and resources efficient in order to cater to the much larger pool of people who never bother.

There'd have to be some way of separating out use cases. General use objects like phones and laptops and desktops would need to keep below the threshold, but something that's primarily intended to do one thing, like a game console, would be allowed to exceed it.

I had a rotating Ps1 memory card with buttons on it to swap the emulated memory.

I was rolling in save data storage. I had like 28MB or something. It was way more than I could use.

And now... Yeah. I need to buy a new SD card, again.

But memory != storage so this meme doesn't work at all. If you have half a TB of ram and you're asking for change, I'll gut you like a pig and rehouse your tech to a more loving environment.

E: also, for the ps(2) the game ran off the disk (with very few exceptions, using a hard drive that isn't mentioned here), so you were only saving... save data. So another ding for meme logic.

Recently had a work order where her windows os was on a drive that was 100gigs. No matter what you removed, it would fill again to the point it couldn't even update.

Looking online found there can sometimes be windows update dump folders up to 30 goddamn gigs.

That's a lotto memory cards.

I get it isn't the same type of memory but thats not funny

150Gb for a game? Try installing Ark with the expansions. You can fill that 500Gb drive from the meme with just that...

I remember Populous on the PS1 somehow requiring the entire memory card for itself.

Of course my brother elected my memory card to hold his save file.
