Everyone knows that the x86 ISA is big.


Modern CPUs have ~1000+ mnemonics. Guess how many make up 90% of compiled C/C++ code?

TWELVE. I'm not kidding.

The question is…what if we shrank it?

After 2 months of work, the Clair Obscur Expedition 33 video is here. I interviewed most of the game's senior leadership team asking one simple question: how did you do this? Their answers were inspiring and moving, and it's no surprise that COE33 is as remarkable as it is: youtu.be/mXLOLgC2V2Q?...

I’ve been learning #vulkan #graphicsprogramming on and off over past few years and this is as far as I’ve come. Written in #rustlang, GPU driven, deferred renderer, frustum culling, PBR materials, point light with cube map shadows, bloom (red bias to emulate film halation). youtu.be/46ZGXjwLMzs

Sure, but the popularity of cigarettes et al can speak for itself, too.

We realized there were real harms to cigarettes and took steps to minimize their use.

At this point I think we need to be having honest conversations about what is and isn't healthy for our minds.

Why do video games cost so much to make these days? A recent NYT article pinned bloated budgets on the graphical arms race, but that's only a small part of the equation. The real problem? Rampant mismanagement.

In our next Tiny Glade update we'll bump the light limit from 32 to 32k while keeping the cost more or less the same.

The small limit has been a cop out, as we didn't quite know how to render huge numbers of (screen-space) shadow-casting lights without severe performance degradation.
