I just had to vent about this lol

Apparently that snes is "rendered in mode 7".

And from the comments:

Didn't Sonic the Hedgehog on the Genesis have rotating bonus levels and Mode7 half-pipes?

I ... tried to reply to one of the comments, but my own posts appear to not want to go through. So someone is stuck there asking if Sonic CD's bonus stages count as mode 7 while someone else assures him they not only count, they ARE mode 7. And my correction that sthey may be mode 7-STYLE, but can't be mode 7 because the term as used refers to a specific SNES hardware configuration is being eaten by the internet.


Kotaku is bad for the IQ.

The solution is to just stop reading, and more importantly, linking stupid kotaku articles.
The writer and his employer don't give a fuck about providing correct information; they care about pageviews.
Bad articles get more views than good ones exactly because of what you're doing now. You're encouraging it.

>While in most areas the SNES and Mega Drive were similar enough

Light chuckle. Tab closed.

Gil: Yeah I think it's approval based or something.

Johan: dude I really don't care, I just wanted to post about it cuz it's as humorous as it is horrible. Besides, it's not like another one of their flame batey race/gender/whatever articles, this is something the writer and the commenters actually believe.

Luckily several commenters pointed out the rendering falseness and the Genesis Mode 7 business.
