     @why yeah I love reading about heroic feats of programming squeezing performance out of limited hardware but it was in service of something absolutely paltry compared to dad's work computer.

     @sun @why as a young teen I loved sitting around watching Atari ST demoscene stuff. They did mad shit with that hardware.
     
     Then some Amiga-fag comes along going "ooh we got 4-channel sound and a blitter chip..."
     
     Yeah, fuck you. You load your OS off a floppy disk. 🤣

     @bonifartius I just mean that the games weren't pushing the envelope for 3d, they were pushing the envelope for underpowered hardware

     @sun consoles were cheaper though. i don't think you could have a capable pc for the price of e.g. a n64.

     @birdulon @bonifartius I am merely suggesting that "cool guy pushes boundaries of hardware" is not the same as "PC game pushes boundaries of entire industry in absolute terms"

     @sun @bonifartius Correct, the latter is stolen valor from hardware engineers.

     @sun @bonifartius A successful guy that people lavish praise on and mistakenly attribute other people's work like the inverse square root trick to. Interesting name to bring up in the context of stolen valor since he doesn't seem to encourage it himself, people just want to consolidate teams into composite mythological figures.
