@FreyaHolmer ClampNormalized and ClampUnormalized 👌🏻

[HyperEvilCorp @hyperevilcorp]

@SebAaltonen Dump Flutter and write lightweight UI framework by yourself.

[HyperEvilCorp @hyperevilcorp]

@SebAaltonen Check out the ANGLE codebase, it does some vertex buffer conversions on CPU in some cases based on format + stride etc.

[HyperEvilCorp @hyperevilcorp]

@SebAaltonen If I recall correctly not having a GPU on S60 devices and thus N-Gage was due to the big issues with the OS architecture. There was even phones released with actual GPU HW but no actual way of using it.

[HyperEvilCorp @hyperevilcorp]

@matiasgoldberg Check the size and if same, do not recreate swapchain and no reinitialization?

[HyperEvilCorp @hyperevilcorp]

@matiasgoldberg @SebAaltonen It’s always case by case and needs to be analyzed always. Sometimes it’s better raise the bar for target devices.

[HyperEvilCorp @hyperevilcorp]

@matiasgoldberg @SebAaltonen Yep. The real question is that does it make any sense to support < $100 Android phones. It’s quite obvious that these gamers won’t use any money to games usually.

@FlohOfWoe @never_released One does not simply use vec3 in crossplatform shaders 😁

[HyperEvilCorp @hyperevilcorp]

@SebAaltonen @EricLengyel Cross product of 2D vectors exists and works just fine, the output is just something else 🙂

[HyperEvilCorp @hyperevilcorp]

@cucadev @reduzio Actually SDL has many problems and bugs, same goes to other libraries. If want full control, you do most of the stuff on your own

[HyperEvilCorp @hyperevilcorp]

@SebAaltonen If drivers are 💩what can you do, I rather debug human readable text than random vendor specific binary blob 😅

[HyperEvilCorp @hyperevilcorp]

@SebAaltonen Actually glShaderBinary is supported by OpenGL ES 2.0 and 3.0 but good luck to ship all pre-compiled shaders for all device variants 😅

[HyperEvilCorp @hyperevilcorp]

@divideconcept @skaven_ That “crap” was invented before C++ existed. C needed extensions and people in PPI created that, NextStep/Apple made it popular.

Also Swift is liked by many developers, Kotlin tries to get close to that Swift in many cases nicer.

@jrdmellow In this case if I have understood correctly, founders left company some time ago and current owner is reorganazing the company with heavy hand 😕

[HyperEvilCorp @hyperevilcorp]

@jrdmellow There’s always ups and downs in business, you cannot grow without taking risks sadly and whole point of running business is to make money. But unheatlhy over-hiring is not wise either. Bad KPIs and meaningless growth comes from owners not mgmt usually.

[HyperEvilCorp @hyperevilcorp]

@Speed3DP @TagessonTomas Actually it’s quite common in Finland and software business. You have flex hour bank, but you are not paid separately from overtime.

[HyperEvilCorp @hyperevilcorp]

@SebAaltonen I actually like driving so it’s not a problem.Finding charging station is tricky and even people who live in North only use EV for city driving, if they actually need to travel they use their second car which is ICE. Different people with different needs, ICE SUV for me 🙂

[HyperEvilCorp @hyperevilcorp]

@SebAaltonen Done that as well as the driving 10h+ hours with one stop.Flight is not usually an option since car is needed in North.Most of the cabins locate few kilometers away from sport locations.Funny thing about night train + car transport, oneway tickets are 700-800€ in busy season 😅

[HyperEvilCorp @hyperevilcorp]

@mikeev Most likely several bottlenecks eg. auth, match-making, database and sharding issues, load-balacing issues, bugs in client-side which cause/enables dossing etc. Edge cases that simple load test won’t reveal
