I just really like polygons.

@Flav_Bateman I want to know the origin of spurs on ket. (Beehive Tottenham)

[Alex Dixon @polymonster]

@DemoOrDie @leonard_coder @lycium @mike_acton Yeah AVX on Xbox and spu stuff on ps3… I did use some ppu intrinsics, I was more talking here about just general CPU code struggling from cache misses

[Alex Dixon @polymonster]

@leonard_coder @lycium @mike_acton I didn’t learn assembly back in the day, was taught OO in uni and worked on an engine that was full of cache misses on PPU and no one I worked with really knew how to optimise it, so this talk was very helpful for me at that time

@FreyaHolmer @LinkedIn I can’t imagine anything worse than generative AI derivative LinkedIn posts

[Alex Dixon @polymonster]

@NickADobos Ok great, I’m on board. What have you made and released with AI vs what you could make solo?

[Alex Dixon @polymonster]

@SullyOmarr Show me some good optimisations with diffs and captures / profiles…

[Alex Dixon @polymonster]

@ImpossibleScott I am very interested in geometry detail and LOD techniques, it’s a hard problem to solve in the general case, would be interested in digging into and understanding in more detail what you’re doing. Looks great and congrats on announcing ✌🏻

@SpursOfficial Sell the club. Dissolve it. Refund me my lifetime of misery. U absolute joke of an institution

[Alex Dixon @polymonster]

@tehTrunk And then maybe there could be some discourse as to why it’s happening, I doubt they care if ppl are strolling down the high round with ENIC out banners but if they lose their precious revenue then maybe they will do something about it?

[Alex Dixon @polymonster]

@tehTrunk It’s frustrating that football success is secondary. I was thinking of ways to protest and I have decided this season I will not buy food or drinks at the stadium at all and just turn up for KO and leave, if everyone did this an match day revenue drops they would notice
