@tha_rami you don’t understand scale. You plant jay-z in the ground and in 6 months you have 24 jay-zs. You take those 24 jay-zs out to dinner and then you understand.

A tip to improve performance in #Cyberpunk2077 involved editing a .csv file that shipped with the game. The suggestion had over 8000 upvotes on Reddit. It turns out this did nothing. The placebo effect can be very strong. [Screenshot from latest patch notes]

The thing futurists got wrong is that the easiest way to send a file to the person sitting next to you is to email it to a server on the other side of the world and then use satellites to beam it through space to their phone

If you're making a game, test these things: - low frame rate (sub 15 FPS) - high frame rate (above 200 FPS) - ultra wide resolution (3440×1440) - high refresh rate monitor (144hz+) #gamedev

@TylerGlaiel if the answer is 3D then it follows that 4D must be even faster. So by simply implementing infinite-D raycast you will make your game run at an infinite frame rate. *taps head*
