No one ever asks how is updog 😔

I'll do you one better: why is updog?

[-] picnicolas@slrpnk.net 8 points 1 year ago

Ray Tracing, the cyber pony?

I myself cannot condone this, but I refuse to downvote it as well.

[-] recapitated@lemmy.world 28 points 1 year ago

If this is a serious question, do an Internet search for the difference between "ray casting" and "ray tracing".

[-] wesker@lemmy.sdf.org 33 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

Why, are they colleagues?

EDIT: don't downvote this person, this is a fun-only thread

[-] LambdaRX@sh.itjust.works 16 points 1 year ago

No, Ray Casting is his mentor.

[-] recapitated@lemmy.world 8 points 1 year ago

Lol I'm ok, but thanks! I got your back.

[-] ChronosTriggerWarning@lemmy.world 19 points 1 year ago

Not sure, but I've heard he's friends with Justin Thyme.

He is responsible for lighting and reflections. Pretty overrated guy and gets paid way too much.

[-] Waveform@lemmy.world 16 points 1 year ago

He a dude that likes to play with reflective spheres on checkered planes. Cool guy :)

[-] AceFuzzLord@lemm.ee 16 points 1 year ago

If he's anything like Justin Case, I wouldn't trust him.

[-] MeDuViNoX@sh.itjust.works 13 points 1 year ago

I can't show you his face, but this is the guy.

[-] Tixanou@lemm.ee 3 points 1 year ago

So his parents predicted the future???? Holy moly

[-] deuleb_biezelbob@programming.dev 13 points 1 year ago

Brother of Rees O' Lution

[-] bad_alloc@lemmy.dbzer0.com 12 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

He is a dear friend to Lan Party and Arya Cummingtonite.

[-] SpaceCowboy@lemmy.ca 7 points 1 year ago

I haven't seen Lan Party around in decades.

[-] Corno@lemm.ee 11 points 1 year ago

I don't know but he makes my games look real good and I like him.

[-] 667@lemmy.radio 10 points 1 year ago

He’s a neighbour to Justin Case.

[-] recapitated@lemmy.world 10 points 1 year ago

He's tracing a photo of Robert.

[-] wesker@lemmy.sdf.org 7 points 1 year ago

Robert Goulet? In memoriam? That's thoughtful of him.

I'm pretty sure he was the attorney representing Bill Stickers.

[-] thenextguy@lemmy.world 5 points 1 year ago

Bill Stickers is innocent!

[-] Banichan@dormi.zone 8 points 1 year ago

He's the uninvited guest to the party with really shiny clothes and LEDs all over him that can't stop talking about how cool he is

[-] JigglySackles@lemmy.world 7 points 1 year ago

Friend of the Bills. Bill Stickers and Bill Posters. Both are innocent btw.

[-] bad_alloc@lemmy.dbzer0.com 5 points 1 year ago

You can try as you might, but Bill Stickers will be prosecuted!

[-] Anyolduser@lemmynsfw.com 3 points 1 year ago

Bill Stickers is an innocent man!
