[2:27:34][Q&A][:speech]
[2:28:04][@s0imn][Q: Would you want to add shaders to the :"asset system"?]
[2:29:01][@pragmascrypt][Q: Which textures are considered "special textures", and why do they not want MIP mapping?]
[2:30:37][@nonsensation][Q: (Off-topic) Can you explain these light blue kind of selection bars in ~4coder?]
[2:30:59][@bulmanator][Q: Request to change the name of mip_iterator to mipterator]
[2:31:06][@mattiamanzati][Q: Through stream is difficult to notice. Can we please see an image sent through chat difference between before and after MIP maps?][:rendering]
[2:31:50][Enable OpenGLChangeToSettings() to toggle MIP maps and nearest texel filtering][:hardware :rendering]
[2:41:46][Try toggling nearest texel filtering and MIP maps][:hardware :rendering :run]
[2:43:07][@kniffel5][Q: Is there an easy way to view the MIP maps sent to the GPU and, if so, why didn't you use that feature for debugging purposes before?][:hardware :rendering]
[2:44:32][@nonsensation][Q: Some file formats like DDS have MIP maps already baked in. Is generating them better nowadays or does it actually matter any longer?]
[2:46:17][@abarishu][Q: If we add some packing, would MIP maps interfere with that?][:rendering]
[2:47:39][@variandra][I don't watch you much but I was wondering: Are those settings you toggle, can / do you have a GUI so users can interact, or is that different?][:ui]
