Beyond All Reason regularly fills up FFA lobbies.

This implies that they are actually “speaking” in text, because over actual speech 10 said in base 10 would be “ten” and 10 said in base 2 would be “one zero”, i.e. not ambiguous at all.

I’d rather live my own life than live my life just to spite someone.

“have optional calls” is not really how this works.

If you’re in an interpreted language, like python, java, c#, you don’t have to do anything, because they compile for the architecture they’re running on already, i.e. using whatever CPU features are available.

If you have a compiled language, and your users compile themselves, then they are choosing which CPU features to use, so you don’t have to do anything. If you distribute pre-built binaries, then you simply have to compile it once for each architecture you want to support, and distribute the correct binary to each user (usually done with an installer).

For graphics, your graphics API also already takes care of using system-specific instructions, and shaders are compiled by it before/while running also using system-specific instructions.

So there’s really no “optional” path that you have to specifically put into your program, so nothing like

Func work()
    If isArm then doArmStuff()
    Else if isZen4 then doZen4Stuff()
    ...
End
