  • If your connection is stable, the latency will more or less be the same, but TCP will consume more bandwidth because of acknowledgement packets, making it harder to keep your connection stable.

    On an unstable connection, TCP latency will skyrocket as it resends packets, while UDP will just drop those packets unless the game engine has its own way of resending them. Most engines have that, but they only do it for data that is marked as “important”. For example using an item is important, but the position of your character probably isn’t, because it’ll be updated on the next tick anyway.




  • 40 have been on the site longer than 2 weeks. I can only filter for less than two weeks, not greater than, so I won’t bother with that, but here’s a summary of the first 5 that have a garage, aren’t pending, and are less than $300k:

    • “This house needs work and is priced accordingly”

    • “This is a 55 and older only community.”

    • A trailer with a detached garage for $250k. That’s just insulting.

    • A nice condo for $299,900, right where I said most houses would be.

    • A kind of ugly place for $230k. The description says it only needs cosmetic improvements, so this might actually be a good one to buy.

    So hey, in the first 5 there’s one house that seems reasonable. Maybe there are a few more if I go through the rest. Still, for a city of 200k people, being able to count the reasonably priced houses on your fingers is not very good.
