> Case in point at 9:30[0] he talks about localised memory patterns as though he's the first to come up with it

This seems like an uncharitable interpretation to me. When he says "I'm not sure if anyone else has ever used this approach," it's pretty clear from context that the "approach" he's referring to is interleaving the sine and cosine tables to improve cache usage. And he doesn't even claim to be the first to come up with it, just to have independently discovered it.



Just telling you why even as a fan I can see why he rubs people the wrong way.

If you look at previous HN threads on his content many have similar complaints.

Every one loves the content and premise of revisiting SM64.

Many don't like the presentation.

If anything I think I'm being charitable assuming it's optimized for the lay public.
