Well, UX is a spectrum. You can do things instantly on a very old machine if you don't mind using a cli. If what you want to do is a game, you can't get Cyberpunk, but you can get Pacman.

Imagine the speed you could play Pacman on a modern CPU! You could probably play a whole level in nanoseconds.

Oh, I often do. It increases productivity by orders of magnitude.

Oh, but what if you had a text based implementation of cyberpunk? Where your imagination is the GPU (the best one there is)

Alas, my imagination is also text-based (aphantasia).
