youtuber who does old console ROMhacks for a hobby: i made the n64 do raytracing just to see if i could and it does five thousand FPS or something

triple-A game studio: if you’re experiencing stuttering on the lowest settings, consider just not being poor? your graphics card is five months old??

guy whose mission is to defend corporations: nooooo you don’t understand, it’s not a fair comparison because the youtube guy is doing small-scale experiments motivated by an in-depth understanding of the hardware, while triple-A studios have a scope set by executives who don’t know how it translates to work and just fired all their devs with enough experience to optimize

it’s unfair to expect industry devs to do the kind of clever optimization that can be achieved by an experienced programmer who’s not sleep deprived and has seen their family and friends in the last three years
