[1:31:30][@internationalizationist][Q: Nice hair!]
[1:31:49][@sharlock93][Q: Side stuff: How is that course on C coming along?]
[1:32:12][@internationalizationist][Q: What about writing a plugin for ~4coder that highlights unclosed parentheses?]
[1:32:59][@vtlmks][Q: It's Day 596]
[1:33:43][@x13pixels][Q: Looks like you can recover the ~milton temp file from %APPDATA%\\MiltonPaint\\data]
[1:33:49][Check %APPDATA%\\MiltonPaint\\data][:admin]

[1:35:38][@internationalizationist][Q: Today [@naysayer88 Jon] said that deferred :rendering is a bad idea. Why?]
[1:37:06][@themeshpotato][Didn't [@naysayer88 he] just mean that almost no one uses deferred :rendering anymore?]

[1:39:10][@kennyalive0][New DOOM does not use it][:rendering]
[1:39:26][Wonder what technique [@naysayer88 Jon] was referring to][:rendering]
[1:41:34][@mindmark42][Q: Could you explain the == 0000 1111 k-d side test thing again?][:"data structure" :lighting]

[1:49:07][@internationalizationist][Q: Someone also mentioned learning OpenGL with its tutorials about deferred :rendering and he said "be careful who you learn from". Is it (deferred rendering) has some pitfalls or something bad that only pro programmers know about? Just confused]
[1:49:44][@guybru5h_vi][Q: You could theoretically go full forward using clustered shading. It makes using many lights fairly straightforward. I wrote a blog post about it a while ago.[ref

[1:56:55][@guybru5h_vi][Q: Worked faster in our engine, but it's early days yet][:rendering]
[1:57:21][@sori_daijin][I still think [@naysayer88 he] was just mixing naming, problem is we can't ask [@naysayer88 him] because [@naysayer88 he] is angry about it]
