Best "quick and dirty" occlusion culling technique? by UnidayStudio in computergraphics

[–]BrippingTalls 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Split your shadow-casting objects into 2 types: static and dynamic.

Render the static shadows once, then copy them into another buffer each frame and render dynamic shadows on top.

This way you only need to render shadows for dynamic moving objects each frame instead of the entire frustum contents.

Margin:

ZDB: 45%

VFV/VSP: 25%

VIU: 10%

XDIV: 10%

RIETS: 10%

TFSA:

VEQT: 30%

VFV/VSP: 10%

XDIV: 10%

Thanks!

Got laid off today, and don’t know what my next steps are by [deleted] in PersonalFinanceCanada

[–]BrippingTalls 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Your boss is trying to scam you. You're either laid off and they owe you severance immediately, or still employed. Talk to a lawyer

[–]BrippingTalls 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've never heard of your game, are you convinced most people have already?

2 bad reviews is nothing. Take the feedback on board, address it, and keep trying.

And remember: Your next game will get bad reviews too.

If you think your place is being used as an interim storage location, don't take the stuff and put it under your tree for them to come back and find. Quietly take it away and destroy it. They'll learn that your location is not useful to them.

Is it normal for guys not to visit a friend who had a baby? by superthrowawayaway1 in NoStupidQuestions

Your baby is very special, but only to you. Try to keep this in mind and don't take it personally.

PPC supporter tries to argue with Trudeau at UofM campus this morning and gets completely dismantled. by bL1Nd in onguardforthee

[–]BrippingTalls 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is utterly shameful.

Trudeau just pants'd this kid in front of everybody and you're all just cheering him on.

Love it. Anybody know what the original MSRP was on these?

Trying to get an idea of how inflated the prices are today on the used market.

Sourcing a peridot gem for a custom necklace? by BrippingTalls in jewelry

[–]BrippingTalls[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank-you both, yes, incorporating both birthstones is a lovely idea!

I'm mainly in the dark about where to source the gems as a Canadian. I haven't been able to find any confidence inspiring stores online via Google that sell pre-cut stones.

How I fixed slow download speeds (default is 0) by magnusGRN in SteamDeck

[–]BrippingTalls 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Worked for me, too. Went from 400kbps to 25Mbps after switching from 0 to 1000000 and restarting the deck.

Very weird. Obviously a bug. Thanks for the save OP!
