i do use it for Game Options and theoretically Tags and Saved Searches would be useful if i would remember they were there. maybe in another 9 years i'll get around to using those, too

d3d gets a nice speed boost (maybe 10%-20% on average, depending on the shape) from using the 2024.14 matrix output arrays, as d3d leans pretty heavily on matrix transforms to avoid rebuilding geometry

benchmarked before/after in all four of my 3D lighting projects. this speed-up is ONLY for optimizing how lights are sent to the shader using the .14 feature additions, in what I assume are average lighting conditions. your mileage may vary depending on how many and where the lights are positioned

it's also even better in forward rendering, where the cost of individual lights is higher (though if you have that many lights you should probably be using deferred or some other hybrid approach anyway):

this seems to come up with music all the time: was music really better when you were 16, or do you actually just miss being young and impressionable?

honestly I feel like people have been doing this for as long as I've been on the internet, back in 2010 if a youtuber didn't upload for like a month their comments would be inundated with people saying things like "did you die"
