i miss the days when consoles would name shit like Emotion Engine or Reality Display Processor or Blast Processing. they should bring that back

i mean i know that consoles are just a zen apu soc glued to a heatsink but at least call that the Quantum Synthesis Engine or smth

@eclairwolf games should be fun again, i think. playing them but also the whole experience around them

@eclairwolf wasn’t “blast processing” just a marketing buzzword that didn’t translate to anything

@eggbreakerdotexe it pretty much was just marketing, but it did actually mean something - the genesis was theoretically able to "race the beam" and draw directly to each pixel on the crt by directly writing to the palette on the fly

but nobody ever did this because it involves precisely counting instruction cycles to maintain sync with the crt beam lmao

@eclairwolf @eggbreakerdotexe so you're telling me the Amiga had blast processing in the copper chip?

@fluffy @eggbreakerdotexe not too familiar with amiga hw but from what i read about it i think so!
