New blog post! "Load store conflicts", in which we look at some performance sensitive code that has surprisingly dramatic performance swings based on the compiler and the microarchitecture used. Reposts appreciated!

Toying around with a home Metal compute path tracer. Not physically correct or anything but still impressed by the natural soft shadows and AO.

Master Levels for Doom II was rough. Too many key areas/items/switches needed for level progression hidden behind secrets IMO. "Black tower" and "Mephisto's Mausoleum" do stand out however as excellent maps.

In case you're looking for the perfect university for 2025/2026:
Consider the game program of Breda University. :) Teaching team straight out of gamedev, C++, strong focus on graphics, and dedicated tracks for programming, art and design.
Tuition fee this year is 2530 for EU citizens.

When using arrays of resources/bindless, it's worth paying attention to index divergence. Even if using thread divergent indices, the compiler will use the index from the first active thread to access a resource, for all threads in the wave, which can cause hard to find bugs 1/3
