No one ever asks how is updog 😔

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

[–] picnicolas@slrpnk.net 8 points 3 weeks ago

Not much, u?

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

What is that cutie mark? Some app icon?

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

[–] recapitated@lemmy.world 28 points 3 weeks 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 3 weeks ago* (last edited 3 weeks ago) (2 children)

Why, are they colleagues?

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

[–] LambdaRX@sh.itjust.works 16 points 3 weeks ago

No, Ray Casting is his mentor.

[–] recapitated@lemmy.world 8 points 3 weeks ago

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

[–] Menschlicher_Fehler 19 points 3 weeks ago* (last edited 3 weeks ago)

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

[–] ChronosTriggerWarning@lemmy.world 19 points 3 weeks ago (2 children)

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

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

[–] AceFuzzLord@lemm.ee 15 points 3 weeks ago

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

Brother of Rees O' Lution

[–] MeDuViNoX@sh.itjust.works 13 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

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

[–] Tixanou@lemm.ee 3 points 3 weeks ago

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

[–] bad_alloc@lemmy.dbzer0.com 11 points 3 weeks ago* (last edited 3 weeks ago) (1 children)

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

[–] SpaceCowboy@lemmy.ca 7 points 3 weeks ago

I haven't seen Lan Party around in decades.

[–] Corno@lemm.ee 11 points 3 weeks ago

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

[–] recapitated@lemmy.world 10 points 3 weeks ago (2 children)

He's tracing a photo of Robert.

[–] wesker@lemmy.sdf.org 7 points 3 weeks 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 3 weeks ago

Bill Stickers is innocent!

[–] Banichan@dormi.zone 8 points 3 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

[–] JusticeForPorygon@lemmy.world 7 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

Reminds me of "Who is this Four Chan?"

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

[–] SorteKanin@feddit.dk 7 points 3 weeks ago

I met his sister Way Tracing once! She served me food in a nearby restaurant.

[–] leaky_shower_thought@feddit.nl 4 points 3 weeks ago
