For funsies I wrote up a little test in Pico-8 to compare the two versions myself. It looks like you need to really lose frames to see a substantial difference with the wrong method, but seeing how much better it can be when you do it right is cool

I've now published my blog post, "I want a good parallel computer." raphlinus.github.io/gpu/2025/03/... . Thanks much to all the feedback on the draft, I'd like to think I've clarified some things that might have been confusing.

I wrote about video game shadow techniques on my blog:

I've always liked different ways to draw shadows in games. I went and tried to find visually distinct examples and explain their differences. I hope you'll find it inspiring!

Surprisingly many accounts here are using their own domain as a handle. Feels much more "directly" decentralized than email-style handles on the fediverse. Apparently did:webs are not as widespread though, which is a bummer. Understandable though, what a pain it was to figure out lol.
