[2:22:16][Q&A][:speech]
[2:22:50][@devsigner][Q: Why is the :lighting behind the character so dark? Shouldn't a point light be more round?]
[2:24:03][@somebody_took_my_name][Q: For a look at Desmos: see 'Untitled Graph'[ref
site=Desmos
page="Untitled Graph"
url=https://www.desmos.com/calculator/2yex0yzdk5]][:mathematics]
[2:26:28][@centhusiast][Q: How fast is this :lighting method when we compile in debug mode?]
[2:26:56][@jessem3y3r][Q: I have to say that your debug videos are often more educational than implementation-heavy ones. Very insightful into your process. Thanks!]
[2:28:38][@xrxr13579][Q: Is octahedral :lighting the only way to go for what you want?]
[2:29:32][@philliptrudeau][Q: Once you take depth samples, could you do bounce :lighting by fetching the depth sample and then moving that far down the normal to seek directly to the next voxel?]
[2:30:26][@somebody_took_my_name][Q: Sorry that was just a temp graph, I hadn't saved it. But now with an account and all, the permanent link (I guess) is here[ref

[2:31:36][@kniffel5][Q: Could you do a stream on RAD's Telemetry[ref
site="RAD Game Tools"
page="Telemetry Performance Visualization System"
url=http://www.radgametools.com/telemetry.htm] one day, showing all the things you can do with it? I'm really interested in the tool, but the only good video source on it is [@naysayer88 Jon Blow], and his streams aren't very "tutorial-y" by nature!]
[2:33:23][@philliptrudeau][Q: With the octahedral map, both the bilinear filtering and the "puffy" filtering seemed to have a pretty quick falloff between samples. Would you consider doing something like bi-cubic filtering for a smoother blend?][:lighting]
[2:37:08][@centhusiast][Q: Do you you use any equation for the light density attenuation?][:lighting]
[2:37:29][@kniffel5][Q: Thanks! Do you know if RAD has discounts for students?]
[2:38:37][@centhusiast][Q: Yes, I meant intensity attenuation?]
[2:39:28][@xrxr13579][Q: Would you ever go back to RAD?]
[2:40:06][@mattiamanzati][Q: Does the paper from nVidia about octahedral sampling[ref
title="Dynamic Diffuse Global Illumination with Ray-Traced Irradiance Fields"
author="Jean-Philippe Guertin, Derek Nowrouzezahrai, Morgan McGuire"
url=http://jcgt.org/published/0008/02/01/] cover also the sampling filter, or did they just use linear and bump up the size of the bitmap to have more samples?][:lighting]
[2:47:47][@roblovski][Q: When doing game logic, do you think it's ever a good idea to write in async / await style and have that transformed into a state machine?]
[2:50:36][@xrxr13579][Q: Thoughts on the ML family of languages and tagged unions?][:language]
[2:51:18][@centhusiast][Q: Do you know about the inverse distance weight interpolation method? Do you think it can be used for games?]
[2:51:34][@nickito97][Q: What do you think of C++20 modules and, separately, of constexpr in C++ in general?][:language]
[2:51:56][@cyberimmersion][Q: I've only really focused much on python, and I'm trying to learn another :language. What do you think of Golang?]
