I think you might have names mixed up. Bo Peng (BlinkDL on github) is the author of RWKV, not on the authors list here.
Re:Cities Skylines 2 runs with 20fps on an Nvidia RTX4090 on Thursday October 26, 2023 @02:48PM (#38030068)
I believe that lots of the pushback on the game are due to poor defaults. Lots of unnecessary graphics settings are enabled, leading to bad first time experiences. After disabling elements that most users won't care about (motion blur, volumetric clouds, global illumination) and following some tips from people online, I find no issue enjoying the game >60fps without my GPU fans screaming. (to be fair, using 7900x / 3090)

Yes the graphics need optimization, but they could have rolled out the release with good defaults and just admitted that high end graphics needed more time... but you can enjoy the game in the meantime! Instead, their steam reviews will remain marred.
