The 3dfx Voodoo wasn’t the first 3D card, or the most complete. It was the first that made games feel smooth. Four years later, Nvidia bought what was left of the company. What went wrong? #Voodoo #Gaming

Nice write-up. At the time I only had a N64 and never realised how short this era was. Must have been quite exciting for hardware enthusiasts, nowadays 2 years come and go and nothing's happened.

    Is it though? Very light on details, doesn’t really dig into any of the technical stuff in any meaningful depth. Reads like it was written with a lot of ‘help’ from AI, honestly.

    The short sentences. Each containing a little information that builds on the idea before. But then next comes a thought written out in a more subtle, human way that just doesn't at all feel like AI. Your description of "'help' from AI" seems like a good way to describe it.
