[02:54] schestowitz[TR2] MinceR's middlename is DOOM [02:54] IsambardPrince I re-enabled hardware accelerated graphics and video in Baguette and installed UZDoom from Flatpak. [02:55] IsambardPrince schestowitz[TR2], There's a credit to Ken Silverman for some voxel-related code he made for the Build engine. [02:55] IsambardPrince So apparently some of the Build engine made its way to Doom. [02:56] IsambardPrince Out of the 2.5D engine era, Build (the one for Duke Nukem 3D) was probably my favorite. [02:56] IsambardPrince But there were not many good ones. [02:57] IsambardPrince Lack of 3D accelerators back then had "3D" support as a total fake-out, but it worked pretty well. [02:57] IsambardPrince The illusion of 3D is easier to implement. A few SNES games managed it. [02:57] IsambardPrince Jurassic Park had some "3D" sections. [02:58] IsambardPrince They managed to pull this off not only without any 3d chip in the SNES, but without using the SuperFX add-on. [02:59] IsambardPrince Kiki came to visit me.

[03:00] MinceR yeah, they added voxel model support to ?ZDoom [03:01] MinceR at some point [03:01] IsambardPrince Now, you remember it's just a cat, so you only give her part of that egg.

[05:36] IsambardPrince That and that CachyOS. [05:36] IsambardPrince They're chasing down micro-optimizations that don't really do much of anything to speed up the computers that are still capable of running it. [05:36] IsambardPrince We've had this argument in the past. [05:37] IsambardPrince It's why Ubuntu went with a "generic" Linux kernel in the 2000s. [05:37] schestowitz[TR2] they add complexity [05:37] schestowitz[TR2] while removing features [05:37] IsambardPrince You could micro-optimize for Intel or AMD, but benchmark testing showed you made a kernel that was like 0.1% faster on that specific hardware and didn't run on the other one at all. [05:37] schestowitz[TR2] ooone example is restricted boot [05:38] schestowitz[TR2] seems likle Puppy breaker is havbing a crisis this past week [05:38] IsambardPrince And if you wanted to go further, you coul optimize for particular generations of CPU within that family. [05:38] schestowitz[TR2] he so desperately tries to salvage his lapop [05:38] IsambardPrince But it meant supporting like 16 different kernels. [05:38] schestowitz[TR2] hopefuilly invested a lot in it and probably lost critical things [05:38] schestowitz[TR2] it is another kettle moment [05:38] IsambardPrince So a generic image is easier to maintain and optimizing doesn't really help in a meaningful way.

[05:47] schestowitz[TR2] MinceR: it's common [05:48] IsambardPrince Because they don't stop there.
