A significant amount of tech tuber "game dev" hot takes could be disproved (or, less frequently - proven) with a single pix or renderdoc capture.

Following some basic frame profiler guides could dramatically improve content in this space.

Doing a clear out of old things. Found these interesting items!

Forgot to post the rest! First one was a little over done as the stone wasn't fully up to 450C. Still tasty though.
