It was a busy week for game releases last week, with Dead Space, Forspoken, Goldeneye and Hi-Fi Rush all available. Hi-Fi Rush was digital-only and available via Game Pass, while Goldeneye was (primarily) limited to subscription services. As a result, these physical retail charts can only tell us so much (digital data comes later in the week, and doesn't include subscription).

Hey all, I’m back with a rock musical film for this week’s Movie Monday. It’s Rock of Ages. Plot: The plot follows a couple of newcomers to the rock music scene of Los Angeles in 1987. Honestly, the movie isn’t that great, but it did have the seventh highest opening ever for a film musical before its eventual disappointing sales at the box office.

When I increased the size of light and moved away the lights a little bit, I got 70 draw calls in your scene. I looked in Spector.js and see there is a lot of pretty the same frames rendered and they duplicated by each light (so this lights render scene separately, one by one). In my case I think every object has from 2 to 6 materials and 3 lights renders each of this object and materials separately so it is the case of such a lot of draw calls.
