The Last Frame
Wei’s fingers cramped over the keyboard. He had tweaked everything: resolution down to 800x600, shadows off, ambient occlusion dead, reflections murdered in an alley. Still, the game vomited frames like a cheap noodle stall. 14 FPS. Sometimes 9.

A triad goon would raise a cleaver, freeze for two seconds, then Wei was already dead.
