If you make a game where 99.9% of the game revolves around 1 (one) kind of thing being loaded in. And you decide that you are going to take your chances and not load it in when you can't see it. Every single player with slow internet (which won't load the thing they need to use. Because it isn't loaded in. Because you wanted to improve performance for those with poor internet) is going to stab you in the guts

#id MUCH rather spend 2 minutes loading in everything and having that completely necessary stuff loaded.#then have to sit and wait half an hour at an unloaded area. because my internet just decided to crap the bed #especially because i just fuckin KNOW that it was a feature to 'improve performance on lower end devices'#devices which are basically useless now because #they cannot actually load the thing that needs to be loaded #like. not loading that thing just means you're delaying loading it to the point when the user will #1) NEED that thing to be loaded and 2) CANT load things #instead of just. having it all loaded from the get go #especially when its extremely simple stuff #and the optimisations are just there to reach 450 FPS for the top end instead of 449FPS
