“Thought-terminating clichés”

Also… I don’t think it has a name, but dubiously claiming any of these examples in an argument. Maybe it’d just be called “deflection”.

I’ve seen so many valid arguments shutdown as whataboutism, sealioning, concern trolling when they were valid arguments. It’s just as much bullshit as actually doing any of those things.

I highly doubt it was the code. They probably reduced texture and background fidelity and compressed the cutscenes heavily. It’s simply impossible to reduce a codebase by 91% and have it still be recognizable. However, the N64 had better hardware and it’s possible that some code could be eliminated because the chips had features that made them code not needed. But not nearly 686 MB worth.

Rat farts.
