@jackcrawford__ or maybe I did. which part were you saying isn't true?

[jc dogen @dogen_1]

@recaarec @billassault @RafaAsor @cmuratori are you equating making video games with playing them?

By the way, this explanation was added to our "about page" earlier last month.

[jc dogen @dogen_1]

@GMcHorseman @yoshinokentarou @ModernVintageG I guess we'll see

[jc dogen @dogen_1]

@daniel_collin @TwinGalaxies @ModernVintageG Actually, this is different. Hadn't seen it in a while.

[jc dogen @dogen_1]

@daniel_collin @TwinGalaxies @ModernVintageG Yeah, something like that has been done on the NES

@GMcHorseman @yoshinokentarou @ModernVintageG yeah

[jc dogen @dogen_1]

@GMcHorseman @yoshinokentarou @ModernVintageG it doesn't work like doom at all though.

[jc dogen @dogen_1]

@richgel999 Was he against AVX intrinsics or something?

[jc dogen @dogen_1]

@YodasRaytracing @richgel999 Not sure why he would get angry, but there's something nice and pure about software rendering. It's not scientific, just a feeling I guess. lol

[jc dogen @dogen_1]

@falco_girgis @ninjadynamics some games actually do use it though. I don't have a list or anything (ask the pcsx2 team lol). Try jak and daxter and pay close attention to the cutscenes. ;)

[jc dogen @dogen_1]

@falco_girgis @ninjadynamics I think.. well I'm not really a hardware guy so I can't say for sure. Maybe because the dedi. vram/framebuffer is pretty small and they didn't want to keep extra data per pixel? That's how MSAA works right? Afaik PS2 calculates coverage and blends right as polygons are drawn.

[jc dogen @dogen_1]

@falco_girgis @ninjadynamics it was there, but only worked when drawing back to front, which is otherwise not what you wanna do on that system...

[jc dogen @dogen_1]

@falco_girgis @ninjadynamics isn't the AA on dreamcast pretty heavy though? can games afford it?

[jc dogen @dogen_1]

Realization: lightweight is a marketing term used to fool you into thinking a software product is high performance without claiming anything concrete. A bit like HP smart.

@leonard_coder @sudox7 you don't even have to be a serious C programmer
