 Technical Features 
@@ -55,11 +53,11 @@ Technical Features
 * LRU cache for minimizing trips to the file-system or database for frequently requested chunks
 * Relatively flat architecture means it's easy to get a WebGL handle and the inverse camera matrix for drawing
 * All IO and chunk meshing is done in a web worker, which keeps the framerate very high
-* Frustum culling - only draw the stuff that's inside the viewport
+* Uses view frustum to prioritize world chunk fetching
 * Directional lighting
 * Day and night cycle (still needs some love)
