No one ever asks how is updog 😔

[–] [email protected] 7 points 6 months ago

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

[–] [email protected] 8 points 6 months ago

Not much, u?

Updog’s not a planet. He’s a man!

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

[–] [email protected] 7 points 6 months ago (1 children)

He's the creator of OpenAl?

[–] [email protected] 3 points 6 months ago

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

Ray Tracing, the cyber pony?

What is that cutie mark? Some app icon?

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

[–] [email protected] 28 points 6 months ago (1 children)

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

[–] [email protected] 33 points 6 months ago* (last edited 6 months ago) (2 children)

Why, are they colleagues?

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

[–] LambdaRX 16 points 6 months ago

No, Ray Casting is his mentor.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 6 months ago

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

[–] [email protected] 19 points 6 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.

[–] [email protected] 16 points 6 months ago

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

[–] [email protected] 15 points 6 months ago

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

[–] MeDuViNoX 13 points 6 months ago (1 children)

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

[–] [email protected] 13 points 6 months ago

Brother of Rees O' Lution

[–] [email protected] 11 points 6 months ago

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

[–] [email protected] 11 points 6 months ago* (last edited 6 months ago) (1 children)

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

[–] [email protected] 6 points 6 months ago

I haven't seen Lan Party around in decades.

[–] [email protected] 10 points 6 months ago

He’s a neighbour to Justin Case.

[–] [email protected] 10 points 6 months ago (2 children)

He's tracing a photo of Robert.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 6 months ago

Robert Goulet? In memoriam? That's thoughtful of him.

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

[–] [email protected] 5 points 6 months ago

Bill Stickers is innocent!

[–] [email protected] 8 points 6 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

[–] [email protected] 7 points 6 months ago (1 children)

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

[–] [email protected] 5 points 6 months ago (1 children)

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

[–] [email protected] 3 points 6 months ago (1 children)

Bill Stickers is an innocent man!

Ray is tracing the corpse of John Doe at the behest of his commanding officer.
