Though I could certainly use an upgrade, my PC specs are pretty beefy at the moment, at least enough to run Cyberpunk 2077. Most of the information I have on this games performance, is due to having so many kinds of devices to test it on, so when I discuss the drawbacks to the recent bloating, it's not coming from a place of
bias or
unfortunate circumstance (I can afford to just buy another PC), but because I don't just consider 'myself' in these situations.
In addition, when it comes to
almost any game that I play, I do a bit of 'playtesting' in addition to a 'casual run'. It's something I've been doing since 2014. Terraria was never on my list of games to worry about, not even when 1.4 was initially released. For any of my co-op buddies that were suddenly
left behind in the 'tech race', I simply assisted them in upgrading; had to find out the hard way that even the new Chromebook at the time was struggling to keep up.
Also keep in mind, that many of us that were excited for the updates were only expecting 1.3.6, so there was a bit of carry-over in assuming that our current systems wouldn't really be effected by the new content, discovering that we were getting
more-than-we-bargained-for was pretty delightful, so much of this was tolerable and we just did what we had to.
The difference here, is that
I really play this game, and this isn't to start making distinctions between the player-base and myself, because I think it's in our best interest to be united when it matters but, I really push most my games to the absolute limit,
not intentional, but because that's just how I enjoy them, it's what I love to do; so why am I concerned?

Bug Report 04/07/2021]
My main concern was that no one could give me any straight answers, and they kept trying to insinuate that the problem was likely on my end
(which is wasn't). Though I'm not tech expert, I'm competent enough to troubleshoot a problem on my own when needed, and exposed that there was likely some 'memory leaks' happening with the
Journey Mode's Builder Chest, or the way Texture Packs were implemented. Whatever it was, the issue was resolved, and I was forced to drop my graphical settings
(which wasn't necessary in the initial release).
My point is, just because I'm not personally being effected by these continued additions, other are, like yourself. That's why I'm even speaking up, because this new 'stuff' isn't improving the game in any substantial way, it's just 'fluff' at this point and not necessary. There's no reason to compromise performance for substanceless/ insubstantial additions... at least IMHO.
