    Object permanence in a game still has yet to blow my mind. Dwarf fortress does it pretty well (abandoning a mine to ruin only to revisit the walls you etched aeons ago as an adventurer), and minecraft of course, but any game with decent graphics seem to just abandon this altogether. You’re just visiting that world, you’re not making any change

      Well I meant more something like you driving a car fast in an open world and having objects appearing in front of you because everything isn’t loaded yet.

      Or landscape disappearing from your rear view mirror in racing games in order to save some memory.

      These things wouldn’t cost anything to solve if we gave up some graphical fidelity.
