I don't know how I can get much clearer than that. Unless you're so stupid as to take it literally, and you really think the chip is made out of manure or something. Maybe you don't realize that "IT" means "DURON." I dunno.
IT IS A PIECE OF SHIT.
It is slow. It is difficult to write to. It isn't compatable with jack shit. It is inconsistant.
Christ!
If you want the technical details this isn't the time or the place. Despite what your self esteem might think,/. isn't exactly a technical forum. Go elsewhere if you really want me to tell you how this chip works. Doink.
Not as unique as the games *I* write. And the thing that pisses me off about Terminus - I WROTE HALF THAT GODDAMNED GAME. Those sons of bitches sole source right from underneath my nose... honestly, I wouldn't mind if they'd just give me credit for it.
Flight Physics? Mine. That cool mission script bulider you used? Mine. Enemy AI? Mine. Networking? Mine.
Hell, I even did some of the graphics.
How much credit do I get. Nothing. Not jack shit, other than the self satisfaction I see of a decent game that I helped with, with no thank yous in my direction.
Several of my games (either ones I designed and/or wrote the engine for) have sold over 200,000 copies. I have 3 that hit the 500,000 mark. While not Quake numbers they aren't anything to scoff at.
How many games have you sold? Not as many as I have.
No one gives a crap about my games? I guess, if "no one" is Wal-Mark, ElBo, Software Etc and Comp USA.
Myabe you should do some research before you go shooting your mouth off, dicknose.
I do not find this funny. Please do not insult someone of my ability with such nonsense. I have some serious coding to do, and I come to slashdot to relax. SERIOUS programming, unlike that hack shit you may squirt out.
I, of course, got one of these to evaluate. It's a piece of crap. Absolute crap. Sure, 800X600 sounds "decent" but what they don't tell you is that it has an interlace refresh frequency of 54 Hz. Big deal, you say. Well, it IS a BIG FRIGGIN DEAL when every lightbulb in the house pops all at once! Boy was my wife pissed. I sent it back. You'll never see one of MY games on this hunk of junk.

How do you mean "it's a piece of shit" exactly?
