    As someone who had a brief alternate life in VRC and made worlds - just /wow/. I had just enough grasp on Unity to make some basic things, but stuffing Linux into a pixel shader is 1 if not 2 orders of magnitude more impressive.

    p.s. Udon Bird Sanctuary! I've been there!

    Pretty amazing work!

    Work like this highlights how different the compute models are between gpu and cpu. Honestly very impressed it runs as fast as it does (250khz) given those differences.

    Article should probably have "(2021)" in the title.

      Would make it a lot more impressive.

    RISC-V is inevitable.
