Apple WWDC is happening, so: 20 years ago at WWDC Unity 1.0 has launched. I think it did have a massive effect of the whole game development! Also, 20 years in games tech is a really long time. #unity

Ahh, Paint 3D... the application where doing anything is way more confusing and cumbersome than it used to be in ye olde MS Paint.
That said, on my PC the old MS Paint just does this when trying to open it, with no further info. So that's... "great" too, I guess?

I love how someone at Microsoft at some point decided that the first item under "This PC" should be "3D Objects" folder. I do wonder whether anyone has ever put anything in there. But also... why.

Reminder that if corporations are people, the reverse can also be true. You can just pretend to be a corporation, and do practical jokes like donate to #blender fund or something.

Wrong things fixed, still 2fps. Now we optimize? It does not look great (no AA on dot edges, since playdate screen is strictly one bit).

Very first attempt: I most definitely got something wrong. But that's for another day. So far 2fps though (with very naive "port" of the shader).

Step 1: have UVs so I can do a checkerboard (this runs at like 17fps… - without perspective correct interpolation even)
