@SheriefFYI @nicbarkeragain I've noticed whine through my headphones when my renderers hit 1000fps or so.. 🤔

@nicbarkeragain closest I've encountered personally was this one GPU I had at work that would produce a distinctive whine depending on whether ALU or memory bound shaders were running. I am dead serious.

I've read some wild things about early computing, but I just learned that the EDSAC computer (1949) apparently had:
"A loudspeaker connected to the accumulator's sign bit; experienced users knew healthy and unhealthy sounds of programs, particularly programs "hung" in a loop."
English
unbelievable. and the worst part is this guy lacks the self awareness to keep this sort of thing to himself.

@DarioFleshlight @supahvee1234 You're talking about something he realized over 20 years ago. He's been doing graphics professionally for around that amount of time.
English
@supahvee1234 bro doesn't understand an integral is sum of infinite slices of an area under the curve and he was a "principal engineer"? and you defend that? you're all pathetic

I was just thinking about how after 20 years I still remember the shadow of the colossus soundtrack perfectly but I barely remember the breath of the wild soundtrack

@ElsenNerd @greatestbkfacts okay but you also dont know that there's anything else unless you read or watched outside sources... so it's kinda your fault :)
English
@greatestbkfacts i think noita and satisfactory are the worst ones in this group
in noita you dont have a fucking clue where anything is unless you happen upon a wand that gives you enough mobility that you can zoom around the map and explore

@AustralCavallyr @rhodes_mzra @O1edq3zP2x15282 @hiroshimilano I think you misunderstand, I wasn't trying to judge anybody except the guy I was responding to for lacking the persistence to learn a language.

Bro, as someone who was gaming in the 90's, I had no idea that Crash Bandicoot was nearly impossible to run on the PS1. The developers found a way to get around the PS1 limitations, and the way they did it was sick!
This is what optimization looks like, and somehow, most modern game developers can't seem to pull it off.

@pikuma should see how I abused the PS2 to render the water in Splashdown. i was using the GS to build DMA packets to drive the GS!
English
Yes. But to be fair, almost every non-trivial game was nearly impossible to run on the PS1.

@St1ka This is like saying thr Wright Brothers didn't invent airplanes because people had previously thought of flying/gliding methods

Casual reminder that OOT did not invent the lock on system in a 3D game.
But it did patent it

@ErikHaliewicz @end3of6days9 @grok Why would I do that when I can just ask Grok, get back to doing what I was doing and check back later? Time management...
English
This guy juices fresh pomegranates for the first time and realizes he just squeezed out roughly $15 worth of vibrant, seed-free juice… for basically the same price as a $17 bottle at the store.
Takes his first sip, goes “Oh my goodness”…
Then yeets his glasses across the room in pure disbelief 😭
I'm thinking I need to buy one of these citrus juicers, how about you?
End3of6Days9 (Helen) 🇺🇸@end3of6days9
This girl sees Tropicana on sale for $4.99 and thinks “I can beat that.” She grabs two bags of oranges for $4.98, pulls out the manual juicer, and starts sweet-talking the fruit like “please don’t let me down” 😂 Ends up with almost the exact same amount of juice… but way better taste. I’m sure fresh-squeezed OJ tastes better, but would you really go through all that trouble just to save a penny? 😭
English
@WrestOrgOnline @end3of6days9 @grok bro just do the calculation yourself, price of juicer / $2 savings per batch
English
@end3of6days9 @grok how many times would you have to juice the fruit to make it so you're not net negative after accounting for the fruit cost and juicer cost instead of just buying bottles of juice?

6dof but only 2*render_width + 2*render_height rays to fill the screen :)

@rhodes_mzra @O1edq3zP2x15282 @hiroshimilano An aptitude to put in the hours and not care about sounding stupid?
That's really all it takes.

@O1edq3zP2x15282 @hiroshimilano From an American, dont underestimate the capacity for africans to learn a language. It is an area they have repeatedly demonstrated high aptitude for

ported the 6dof raycast renderer back to my C engine
still needs a lot of work (doesn't handle slopes/doors/etc), but it's getting close!

@hasen_95dx @grok It's fairly basic for graphics programming, not generic game dev. There are all kinds of tricks for compressing normals, including polar coordinates. Probably tons more I'm not aware of, professional grafix people are way more hardcore than I am.
English
I am too stupid to understand what this means 😭
@grok can you explain? is this true? was this just simple math that is in common knowledge among game programmers? what does it mean to use polar coordinates?
bubble boi@bubbleboi
Noooooo your telling me that the Google Geniuses were able to compress KV Cach without losing quality by *checks notes* using polar coordinates ?! It was just.. *gasp* simple trigonometry? And wait all four of them are Iranian? Two out of four from Sharif University ? 😂😂😂

@Owl_Vigilant @chhopsky let me give you a hint
if you see a "easy solution to a problem that very smart, hard working people work on" from someone who doesn't work on that problem, you can pretty much just ignore that.
English
part of the reason gamer knowledge about engines can never be meaningfully improved is that as long as people keep making posts like this that spread like wildfire they will continue to believe misinterpretations and repeat them as facts

"I shot him first!" No you didn't. The server is just too fucking slow. You'll spend $1000 on a 240Hz monitor just to play on servers slower than a government worker. 📡 SERVER TICK RATES 128 Hz — Valorant 64 Hz — CS2 64 Hz — Overwatch 64 Hz — R6 Siege 60 Hz — COD 60 Hz — Battlefield 6 60 Hz — PUBG 60 Hz — Marvel Rivals 60 Hz — The Finals 30 Hz — Fortnite 20 Hz — Apex Legends 20 Hz — Call of Duty: Warzone In Apex and Warzone, the server updates only once every 50 milliseconds. Even if you're playing on a $2,000 rig with a 1ms monitor, your bullets will still be bottlenecked by servers that feel like they're from 2007. If you die while already behind cover, it’s not magic. It’s the server the devs didn't want to spend more money on.

@IshaInMyButt @DurrrMoth Good video, but doesn't seem to contradict that ol' Timmy was the main engine programmer for UE1.

crazy to think they laid off the guy who created the whole engine
