This is a pure slander attack. If someone is responds to my facts with purposely smug foolishness, I have every right to call them out as a troublemaker and a baby who wants their results without facts to report for back up. What else do you call an adamant person who has no techs facts? It is fine I am done arguing over this I understand what this place is and who gets the protection and freedom.
You can also be the better person and respond with civility.
Keep in mind that not all things are in black and white and opinions differ on many things as there are generally many different ways to attain the same result with one method being superior in X scenarios but worse in Y scenario and ambivalent in Z scenario.
For example fast SSD access for streaming textures is great if the pool of data you want to stream in is larger than your available pool of memory. Consoles are cost constrained devices and currently memory is priced at a relative premium. This means that fast SSD access is essential in improving certain aspects of modern graphics rendering (higher quality and more varied assets) on console because you cannot have a large pool of memory and still price the console at 500 USD.
OTOH - while there is still a benefit on PC it's not so obvious and it doesn't necessarily apply in all cases. If you can fit all the needed assets for an area in main memory then main memory will always be the superior way to stream those assets. However, since the pool of memory available for a game to use varies on a case by case basis, having access to fast SSD streaming is still a benefit.
That's just one example of many where X feature that is obviously of great value on console may or may not be a great value on another platform. Even design choices between different consoles can see X feature be extremely valuable for one console but less valuable on the other console. Obviously for 2 of the modern consoles we see less and less of that in play as they both rely on a common architecture with relatively minor differences in console specific customizations.
Regardless, when attempting to put forth your argument or evidence for why your opinion on something is valuable and worth consideration, civility goes a long ways towards making your point come across as well thought out and worthy of consideration.
Injecting words like "baby", "fanboy", "troublemaker", etc. just serves to make posts using such language appear rash with little thought put into them other to lash out emotionally at whatever or whomever is the target of the post.
Now, when someone then replies to that with a well thought out and civil post it'll make the previous post and by association poster appear even more irrational. IE - reponding to a "trashy" post with well thought out and reasoned arguments without resorting to emotionally driven language will just highlight how "trashy" the other post was. Of course, if the other post wasn't in fact "trashy" then at the worst you won't have made yourself look bad by using "trashy" language in retaliation to someone you feel was responding to you in a "trashy" way.
I've spent way too much time on this post, but if it can help even one more person become a better contributing member of the forum, it'll be worth it ... I hope.
