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

[-] recapitated@lemmy.world 28 points 4 months ago

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

[-] wesker 33 points 4 months ago* (last edited 4 months ago)

Why, are they colleagues?

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

[-] LambdaRX@sh.itjust.works 16 points 4 months ago

No, Ray Casting is his mentor.

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

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

[-] ChronosTriggerWarning@lemmy.world 19 points 4 months 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.

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

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

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

Bill Stickers is innocent!
