Idk man, I've enjoyed many a game at 30 fps. 60 is my general target but acting like it's a minimum to have a fun time is ridiculous.

Its an opinion, I am used to a smooth experience, I play some fast paced games at 60 on my Steam Deck, its passable, but I'd obviously rather be having it run silky smooth on my PC.

If you have never really played games at higher than 30/60, then it's impossible to understand.

My display is 144hz and I've played quite a few games at that framerate. When you're talking about smoothness, what you're actually talking about is frame time. A consistent FPS at 30 is smooth, if there's not inconsistent frametime and stutters.
