If you are talking about the picture being easier to read, then that's a renderer thing and is better off being fixed.
If you are talking about the code being easier to read, yes. The line I made has a 3 features vs the 1 feature in 1 line of the former, so it is to be expected. And that's why I don't expect people to make it themselves (although I do make it manually).

    You seem to not be taking into consideration:

    • lag
    • extra information required for graphics stuff, like shadows

    The reason your client computer needs to know the opponent's location when they are still 1m on the other side of the wall, is because, within the next 100ms, you might make a jump+move action which lets you see their shadow or the tip of their weapon.

    The shadows and reflections need to be calculated on your system or the server would be doing too much work and if you find the opponent pop up where they clearly were not, 50ms ago (because the server just told you now), you won't be particularly happy either (I know I won't).

    Well, guess I am not in that 60%.
    But then again, I don't need new RAM for it. Everything other than the motherboard is already there and I can use an old ATI Radeon for the display.

    Just here to say, there is an even better way to embed an xkcd in Lemmy Markdown.

    [![License Plate](https://imgs.xkcd.com/comics/license_plate.png "The next day: 'What? Six bank robberies!? But I just vandalized the library!' 'Nice try. They saw your plate with all the 1's and I's.' 'That's impossible! I've been with my car the whole ti-- ... wait. Ok, wow, that was clever of her.'")](https://xkcd.com/1105/)
    

    This will not only make the image into a link but also give the much required hover text.
    Like so...

    License Plate

    Feel free to make a Python (or sth) snippet that creates the link for you.

    I recently saw a picture of a SCSI connector when looking for PCIe - SATA cards.

    Apparently most normal PCIe - SATA cards are very unreliable (somehow even worse than USB to SATA adapters), so I went on looking for the SCSI ones that have been reviewed as more reliable.

    P.S. If anyone knows about a (non-RAID) PCIe - SATA card that I can rely upon as much as my motherboard SATA controller, then do tell.
