I wonder if PS3 is recent enough that better practices around source code were there. You’d have a lot better chance of making first party games (the ones that leveraged the hardware the best for the most part, and the ones you have less licensing issues with) run well if you could recompile them instead of trying to translate code heavily optimized for that architecture.
Yeah, I get shit occasionally in random places for using bigger words when they actually would take multiple sentences to replace.
But there are a fucking lot of people who use big (or obscure) words purely as a kind of signaling that they’re smart, rather than for communication. And it’s usually really obvious to people who have better vocabularies (or better understanding of the jargon in a specific field) that they don’t know what they’re doing.
If after looking up a word, the rationale for the word choice doesn’t become understandable on at least some level, it’s probably nonsense. (There are some super smart people who just don’t know how to communicate though and think the word’s as simple to everyone else as to them.)
