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

[-] recapitated@lemmy.world 28 points 1 month 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 month ago* (last edited 4 weeks ago)

Why, are they colleagues?

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

[-] LambdaRX@sh.itjust.works 15 points 1 month ago

No, Ray Casting is his mentor.

[-] recapitated@lemmy.world 8 points 4 weeks ago

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

[-] ChronosTriggerWarning@lemmy.world 19 points 4 weeks 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 4 weeks ago

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

[-] AceFuzzLord@lemm.ee 16 points 4 weeks ago

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

[-] deuleb_biezelbob@programming.dev 13 points 4 weeks ago

Brother of Rees O' Lution

[-] MeDuViNoX@sh.itjust.works 13 points 4 weeks ago

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

[-] Tixanou@lemm.ee 3 points 4 weeks ago

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

[-] bad_alloc@lemmy.dbzer0.com 12 points 4 weeks ago* (last edited 4 weeks ago)

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

[-] SpaceCowboy@lemmy.ca 7 points 4 weeks ago

I haven't seen Lan Party around in decades.

[-] Corno@lemm.ee 11 points 4 weeks ago

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

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

He's tracing a photo of Robert.

[-] wesker@lemmy.sdf.org 7 points 1 month 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 4 weeks ago

Bill Stickers is innocent!

[-] 667@lemmy.radio 10 points 4 weeks ago

He’s a neighbour to Justin Case.

[-] Banichan@dormi.zone 8 points 4 weeks 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

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