I think people are reacting to the tweet saying

> almost can’t believe this is a video game

Hyperbole is fine but it does tend to cause backlash.

It's a video game, that is, it renders in real time on hardware costing a couple thousand dollars max.

It's not trying to look impeccably realistic cinema level CGI, but it's damn impressive given the limitations of a video game, and of gaming hardware.

Is that really hyperbole considering the quality?

I agree. I wouldn’t even say it’s backlash it’s just debugging out loud.

HN users want to test how true a statement is because when you’re coding a program, any edge cases that prove your code wrong can literally break everything. I think that begins to rub off on how you perceive all kinds of propositional statements in other areas.
