We optimized draw calls by 99% (lol) in Hidden Folks 2 by writing some tools to find all textures used in a level, generate a level-specific atlas, and replace individual texture references with atlas textures. Thread below 🧵👇🏼 #godotengine

Two side-by-side screenshots showing before and after we applied a texture atlas optimization to our game Hidden Folks two, the before showing 13318 draw calls and the after showing 113 draw calls

IT’S MY BIRTHDAY TODAY! ✨ if i could humbly request a share of my art, it would be the best gift ever 💖

a pixel art piece featuring a cloudscape at nighttime. the sky is filled with clouds of various colours: pink, yellow, cyan, blue and dark blue. a half moon is partly covered behind one of the blue clouds, reflecting its light onto them. the black sky is also filled with stars. the scene is meant to evoke a sense of peace, wonder and nostalgia

pixel art featuring a trail going off into the distance. the brown trail goes through a grassy field filled with flowers of various colours (yellow, pink, red and white). in the distance there are some green hills. the blue sky is filled with a giant white cloud, with some light coming from the top left. the text in the middle of the sky reads: “bloom at your own pace”

pixel art of space featuring a blue nebula surrounded by blue stars and a blue planet at the top right. a shooting star is also visible

pixel art featuring a sunset scene. the sun setting on some hills behind a body of water. the water is of a clear blue colour. the sky’s colours are red, purple and dark blue, while the hills are silhouette black. purple clouds make up the skyline

I work at Google DeepMind. This won't make me popular. But it's all public reporting: 2014: DeepMind reportedly sold to Google on conditions: no military use, independent oversight 2026: a Pentagon contract for "any lawful government purpose" Not one safeguard survived intact

Collage titled "Trust is not Governance — an essay from inside Google DeepMind, written in personal capacity."

A 2014 memorandum, "Conditions of the Acquisition," lists: military applications of DeepMind technology banned; deployment decisions before an independent ethics board (as reported in Mallaby's The Infinity Machine).

Red threads lead to a 2026 U.S. Department of Defense agreement for classified networks reading "any lawful government purpose," with safety settings and filters adjusted at the government's request and no contractor veto (reported terms, The Information, Apr. 2026).

Adjusted for inflation Spirited Away cost $22 million to make.

These critically acclaimed, made by real people films, cost less than this pile of actual vomit.

Apple forces game developers to keep updating their games, if a game hasn't been updated in a while it'll be deemed obsolete - even when the game is content complete and working on up-to-date systems and the developer is paying their $99 a/year Apple fee. It's nuts.
