    This is a meme reply isn’t it? I would have liked to see screenshots what exactly needed so much RAM usage. Sounds like some sort of memory leak or other issues. I can assure you, that is not normal. In normal usage, I don’t know how to even fill 32gb, even if two games would run simultaneously.

      I can see it. From my experience I tend to use way less resources than the usual person and 16 is feeling tight for me and it would be a bear to deal with 8 now. I would like to go to 32 but the recent tech inflation make that impossible. If im like this I think many folk are one step higher.

      Slack, VS Code, Firefox, Steam, Rocket League, combined with no swap file, and Linux just handing out memory allocations like they’re bank loans meant to be paid back eventually and with interest, you get a system that just halts when the memory is finished.

      With 16 GB on my old work laptop, I am running Helix editor with a couple of LSPs, no AI whatsoever, and like a few tabs open with documentation and our somewhat memory unoptimized page. I sometimes have to close the tab so as not to crash the system. Memory is really abused these days.

      I can use 12 gigs of ram just on vintage story alone.

      Hosting DND night with fantasy ground it can up to like 10-12 gigs easily.

      Slap another 2-3 gigs on top for the is and stuff. It becomes trivial to fill up 16 per game.

      If we wanna aim for 32 gigs like crack out arma mods. Lol
