To look better , you can use HDTP and New Vision . HDTP contains some controversial models , but they can be turned off via an ingame options menu , so if you ' re uncertain about some things you can turn them off onthefly . However , the game is quite dated , and it ' s recommended you don ' t play it vanilla even though everyone has to do it at some point . The best way to play it is using the GMDX mod , which will have a new release in a month . Plus , it stacks on top of New Vision and HDTP , so you ' ll have a better experience on top of better graphics . <| sep |> Hiya ! Yes , just been very busy . Thanks for asking I hope everything has been wonderful for you , Curt . <| sep |> This . I ' m a server and the amount of circlejerking that goes on here without any understanding really is kind of alarming . Two things 1 . I make more off of tips than I would minimum wage 2 . A lot of your favorite small restaurants might have to either close up shop or make prices way higher if they were required to pay minimum wage , because they are struggling to get by as is . As you can see , you will either pay the extra 1520 % tip and ease the cost of operating the restaurant while simultaneously allowing the servers to earn more than minimum wage , or you will pay that extra 20 % because the food will be more expensive . In the second scenario , the restaurant pays its servers $ 7 . 25 an hour , hikes prices , and the waiters are left making less while the restaurant earns more . I think the people arguing against tipping here are being cheap and trying to have their cake and eat it too , they want the low prices while also not having to tip .
