Yeah that's kind've how it works, but for me, I guess the closest I describe how I imagine it is Lakitu from sm64 literally orbiting the player

Briefly, feet. Didn't work.

It was in like 2006. A dvd rw full of mp3s to play on my portable dvd player that could decode all the useful codecs.

Thought it was bricks and mortar

Oh hey I understood all of this. I knew that degree was going to eventually be good for something

This question becomes more a test of age as time goes. I've been asked this question even after the movement towards all-LEDs.

This question is also stupid, both because it has a correct question and because almost certainly some people have advantages over others that have nothing to do with the actual job.

20+ years ago? Sure, this was a somewhat viable question. But now? It's incredibly messy.

Over my years, I've asked dozens of very, very smart people from all kinds of walks of life, extremely smart to seemingly dumb as hell - nobody has ever gotten it right.

Probably the only thing this question is good for is seeing how an applicant does when faced with a diplomatic situation and a really dumb interviewer.

I'm super curious what the people who unironically ask this question think they're testing.

Hahaha oh yes.

I think you may have misunderstood my intent of discussing "no true games". It's not that AA makes a game less of a game, that's a wild take.... But that when I'm playing a game where I need any sort of reaction speed or, especially framerate, AA is not only resource hungry (ESPECIALLY on older games/hardware) that leads to less fps, but that it also decreases visual intelligibility of a game when in motion by having it never be crisp and perfect. Whereas slow or non moving game cameras look more "photoreal" which is not a quality that benefits the playing of a game, and is generally strongly associated with selling people on looks and visual fidelity over fun game-content.

Oh hold on. Lens flares though, I love lens flares.

Forgive me if my trust has been broken

To be fair, we don't know that FOR SURE yet. He could be banking on either none of the files coming out or that he's somehow protected.

Whatever it is, all of the files absolutely need to be made fully public. This shit has gone on for far too long.

Just put the grease on your own eyeballs and sit really close.
