    DeltaTime is the old “tie the physics to the framerrate” thing old console games did because they knew they’d be running at a certain frame rate

    When I was learning unity for a week it was literally lesson #2 in 3 different video lesson series NOT to use DeltaTime like that

      Oh god. This brings me back to QBASIC days and how I upgraded my computer and it broke all my programs because I was an idiot and controlled time delays using for-loops, lol.
