Cause Godot is great and deserves the shoutout, least I can do for the free engine and tools!
Unity is poised to take my money tho so no free advertising for them.

I was unaware Enum.HasFlag causes boxing, that's crazy! Good to know though, guess I'll stick to the good ol' "A & B != E.None" !

Thankfully I don't think we'll be needing web builds for any of our near-term business cases, but good to know. Thanks for the shout!

For curiosity's sake, what kinda memory problems are you running into? I've been doing a lot of arrays of structs and a bit of marshalling lately so I'm in my happy C# memory management era haha

I feel this heavily... I do love Godot, and it's improving at a blistering pace, but it just doesn't feel like it's got the level of toolkit that I need to make games at the speed and quality that I want. I need to take another shot at doing a C# Godot project.

Even better, it implies christ was *crucified* in hyrule

I guess I have a bit of a hate-boner for TAA because I've seen so many games that just look like dog-ass without it.
I'd imagine the steps go something like:
Need TAA to hit perf targets -> TAA is default -> Art team has TAA on the whole time they develop

DLSS is just uber dumb tho yeah

I can agree Weird as Hell things cause by Wild Shit are good.
I am just grouchy and tired of the trend of "the game stops looking like shit if you stare at it long enough"
