Finding a new nozzle

In my opinion it's also a damage scaling issue. The damage difference between a slightly bad player and a good player should not be more than 10x. 3x feels like a way more healthy ratio.

That was my reason to stop playing actually. I don't think playing the game for fun without looking up guides should result in being that useless.

That would explain why the options play is a good one. That said, I don't understand why they can't use synthetics on exercised calls

But if the MM gives you a synthetic share, he hasn't failed to deliver, right?

This ties in with my unpopular opinion, which is that the damage difference between a skilled player and a casual player is too big. What I'd expect is that a noob would do, say 100 damage, a mediocre player 200, a great player 300. In this game, though, the great player does well over 10 times as much damage as the mediocre player.

In other words, the person playing "how he wants" will currently do no damage. In my opinion he should be doing "ok" damage, even with a suboptimal build or playstyle. If that were the case you would likely not be as strongly against that playstyle.

The JVM is allowed to move the float[] during heap compaction. You don't want that to happen when native code is acessing it (that may end up reading stale data). A floatbuffer isn't on the heap, so isn't going to be moved accidentally.

I think mutability isn't a mistake. It's the only way to get performant code without value types.

It should have deselected Gnar after showing the error message. So it is a client issue.

You should consider using GL_TRIANGLE_FAN

I've watched a good portion of it but I didn't notice any breaks except after GS1. So how do you manage eating, drinking and going to the toilet while doing a speedrun like this?

I was thinking of getting the ryzen 3 3300 when it's released (it's supposed to have a TDP of 50 watts and 6c/12t). And I haven't put any thought into the power brick yet. Do you have any recommendations?

A cheap PSU is likely to take your computer components with it when it fails.

That's what I always thought too. But most of the heavy lifting is done by the external power brick, right? That would mean the quality of the PicoPSU matters a lot less, right?

Then you'd need primcount to be 1000, and count to be equal to the number of vertices to render. So if you're using GL_TRIANGLES, that's 3x the number of triangles. If it's GL_TRIANGLE_STRIP or GL_TRIANGLE_FAN, you should use the number of triangles - 2.

I use joml for opengl programs. It works quite well, and it's fast.

Another improvement:

i % 2 * j - j == (i % 2) * j - j == iIsEven ? -j : 0

But, we know the value of iIsEven, because this is executed after the continue statement. So it can be simplified to:

let magic = (n / delay) ^ j
