@argv_minus_one@mastodon.sdf.org @rygorous@mastodon.gamedev.place @regehr@mastodon.social @steve@discuss.systems 68k went way way too CISC right at the point RISC got all trendy. Like... RISC was wrong in the long term, but it was 20% right for a decade or so. And then it was wrong. Sadly, that was long enough to kill 68k as a mainstream part (though it lived on for a looooong time in the embedded space)

@TomF@mastodon.gamedev.place ARM now has many more instructions than m68k did. Who's RISC now? 😋 @rygorous@mastodon.gamedev.place @regehr@mastodon.social @steve@discuss.systems

@TomF@mastodon.gamedev.place @argv_minus_one@mastodon.sdf.org @rygorous@mastodon.gamedev.place @regehr@mastodon.social @steve@discuss.systems wasn't 68k basically a VAX?
