ya ever find yourself halfway through a video titled "Top 10 Panasonic 3DO Games" and you have two realisations, the first being 'i have no interest in this video or the panasonic 3DO' and the second realisation being 'why did it take 13 minutes for me to make the first realisation'. cumulatively i have probably lost days of my life this way

@envgen I like the 3DO because Panasonic thought it would be cool to make an expensive console which was difficult to develop for properly and had masses of near-unavoidable input latency at a time where 60FPS and 0 latency at all was very common in console games

@envgen iirc the 3DO had no specialised sprite hardware like every console, so it really struggled with sprites. it also had no specialised 3D hardware. it was just every wrong decision you can make
