a small window into how vulkan programming differs from opengl: after a driver update, i started getting read/write artifacts in a chain of render to texture calls for a post processing effect. after a lot of headscratching it turned out to be a flag to the subpass synchronization that synchronized framebuffer access only in the local memory region of the framebuffer, which is designed to be of unknown size and which the new drivers apparently changed.

just noticed my pirated Cowboy Bebop folder has a meme subfolder

ah the joys of rolling your own engine: updating to latest nvidia drivers makes my game's rather complex post processing pipeline fail on certain texture reads. 👍
