[–] jaggedrobotpubes@lemmy.world 19 points 11 months ago (1 children)

No one ever asks how is updog 😔

[–] ChronosTriggerWarning@lemmy.world 6 points 11 months ago

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

[–] picnicolas@slrpnk.net 8 points 11 months ago

Not much, u?

I think he hangs out with Al Dente quite a bit.

[–] wesker@lemmy.sdf.org 7 points 11 months ago (1 children)

He's the creator of OpenAl?

[–] thenextguy@lemmy.world 3 points 11 months ago

And Betty when you call me.
You can call me AI.

Ray Tracing, the cyber pony?

[–] theherk@lemmy.world 6 points 11 months ago (2 children)

What is that cutie mark? Some app icon?

[–] Evotech@lemmy.world 6 points 11 months ago* (last edited 11 months ago) (1 children)

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

[–] recapitated@lemmy.world 28 points 11 months ago (1 children)

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 11 months ago* (last edited 11 months ago) (2 children)

Why, are they colleagues?

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

[–] LambdaRX@sh.itjust.works 15 points 11 months ago

No, Ray Casting is his mentor.

[–] recapitated@lemmy.world 8 points 11 months ago

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

[–] ChronosTriggerWarning@lemmy.world 19 points 11 months ago (2 children)

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 11 months ago

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

[–] AceFuzzLord@lemm.ee 16 points 11 months ago

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

[–] deuleb_biezelbob@programming.dev 13 points 11 months ago

Brother of Rees O' Lution

[–] MeDuViNoX@sh.itjust.works 13 points 11 months ago (1 children)

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

[–] Tixanou@lemm.ee 3 points 11 months ago

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

[–] bad_alloc@lemmy.dbzer0.com 12 points 11 months ago* (last edited 11 months ago) (1 children)

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

[–] SpaceCowboy@lemmy.ca 7 points 11 months ago

I haven't seen Lan Party around in decades.

[–] Corno@lemm.ee 11 points 11 months ago

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

[–] recapitated@lemmy.world 10 points 11 months ago (2 children)

He's tracing a photo of Robert.

[–] wesker@lemmy.sdf.org 7 points 11 months 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 11 months ago

Bill Stickers is innocent!

[–] 667@lemmy.radio 10 points 11 months ago

He’s a neighbour to Justin Case.

[–] Banichan@dormi.zone 8 points 11 months 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

[–] JusticeForPorygon@lemmy.world 7 points 11 months ago (1 children)

Reminds me of "Who is this Four Chan?"

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

[–] bad_alloc@lemmy.dbzer0.com 5 points 11 months ago (1 children)

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

[–] Anyolduser@lemmynsfw.com 3 points 11 months ago (1 children)

Bill Stickers is an innocent man!
