- monoau 2y agoI feel bad for the people blindly defending him, many of his videos are wrong [1] and his viewers end up incorrectly learning a lot technical stuff, especially when there're actual knowledgeable youtubers out there.

- 0points 2y agoMaybe you too just don't understand the topics he is covering well enough to realize he's a phony.
- radicalbyte 2y agoHe is fairly accurate about topics I have expertise on - modding of the PS1 / PS2 / GC / Xbox / Wii - and has his explanations of videos he made on 8/16-bit generations have been accurate. I can't say much about his videos linked in another post (about PS1 shimmering) as I haven't touched graphics programming / APIs (beyond coding a very basic 3d rendering engine which ran on the CPU). After reading some of the linked discussions - yes he does appear to have posted some bullshit. That doesn't make all of his content bullshit though, and doesn't make him "non technical". The fact that he has shipped several games on constrained platforms is proof that he is technical. He does now go into the same box as I put 99.9% of content creators in - entertaining but don't trust them on the details.
