- Comment on Anon turns on raytracing 2 weeks ago:
raytracing still needs to do subsurface scattering. It can actually do it for real though. It also “wastes” a lot of bounces, so is usually approximated anyway

i still enjoyed the crap out of it. Sometimes zoning out and just running around collecting stuff is just what I need.

he was forced to release it quickly to coincide with the film’s release. For comparison, it used to take a team of devs a couple of months to make a game. He had 6 weeks

when climbing out of the pit, it was very easy to immediately fall back down (due to the pixel-perfect collision detection).
And here is an excerpt from the manual: “Even experienced extraterrestrials sometimes have difficulty levitating out of wells. Start to levitate E.T. by first pressing the controller button and then pushing your Joystick forward. E.T.'s neck will stretch as he rises to the top of the well (see E.T. levitating in Figure 1). Just when he reaches the top of the well and the scene changes to the planet surface (see Figure 2), STOP! Do not try to keep moving up. Instead, move your Joystick right, left, or to the bottom. Do not try to move up, or E.T. might fall back into the well.”
- Comment on A game you "didn't know it was bad 'til people told you so"? 3 weeks ago:
it was actually way ahead of its time, for a game. One small bug (the workaround for which was in the manual) ruined its reputation. But I genuinely think it was a good game.
Also written in 6 weeks by one guy. Freaking impressive

from the unending death that he himself (holy trinity and all that) would have inflicted upon you.
- Comment on That's a good question 4 weeks ago:
he could have just, you know, forgiven them. Like he preached. If I kill myself over a grudge I hold towards you, that just makes me an idiot. And, If I go around preaching forgiveness to everyone else, a hypocrite

- Comment on Every toddler becomes a hackerman when they find a tablet 1 month ago:
most kids today are technologically illiterate. We didn’t call anyone who watched a ton of tv a tech-wiz, because tv was just a device made for consumption of content. Even though the tv uses electricity to work

- Comment on The Return of the Pebble Smartwatch Is a Sign People Crave Something Unique 2 months ago:

- Comment on Consumers make their voices heard as Microsoft's huge venture flatlines in popularity 2 months ago:
and our manager sounded so proud to announce it. I just don’t use it, but lowered my standards instead. If they want us to use more ai, then ai quality work is what they’re going to get. It has indirectly made my job easier by helping me give less of a fuck.
