@mushroomdonoteat@misskey.fryer.net.au May I introduce you to the demoscene? :P It's not exactly game development but the spirit of optimizing aggressively to make things work that wouldn't otherwise is definitely there

@mushroomdonoteat@misskey.fryer.net.au @patagona@chaos.social @cnlohr@chaos.social nothing good. writing everything in assembly is pointless, it's not inherently faster, it's just much more work. so you'd take longer, and create a worse product. not to say you shouldn't write *anything* in assembly, but writing everything that way is just bad. the main resource you need for "optimizing", is time.
