Yeah, and all the foss work nice people did for the love, culminating into something bigger.
I still remember how amazed (a decade+ ago?) I was that I just needed to copy a .dll somewhere & I could just run Glide?? (Some old games did only support software or Glide.)
I didn’t see it at first either. The spots of light on the floor also look like they could be reflecting off a transparent surface suspended at the level of the brown stripe on the wall.
Also, to me at first, the hallway looked much wider than it actually is thanks to the reflectiveness of the walls

Wow, this is a real mindfuck

less accidental renaissance and more accidental non-euclidean space

Reminds me of those weird bugs you sometimes get in old games (Unreal/Doom/…) where a texture somehow doesn’t end and shoots all across the screen.
Evil_Shrubbery@thelemmy.club · 12 pts · 68d
Whoa, such disrespect, Unreal had prefect marble (glide) textures years before it's time!
I can't find a pic, but the dark marble was better. The nature of that marble pattern worked really well with the low res textures.

(But yes. :D)

To this day I'm impressed how you could just throw a graphics stack 20 years from the future at that game and it would just gracefully work with that.

I remember running OG Diablo Ⅱ through glidewrapper

(That is to say that I also remember running these games on my Voodoos with drivers from 3dfx. Good times.)

I really wish they made games like Unreal again. I miss that game

It looks like the fog in hazy maze cave in Super Mario 64. Just a semi transparent layer that hovers over the ground. Trippy...

What is so weird about this? They just placed a glass shelf throughout the whole corridor.

You can be proud of fooling someone like me who had not had enough coffee yet into thinking you were serious, well played.
Avicenna@programming.dev · 7 pts · 68d
I think a sarcasm gone unnoticed is the writer's shortcoming not the reader's.
snooggums@piefed.world · 4 pts · 68d
It looks like it from the perspective, but there is no shelf. All the reflections just line up to look that way.

Source?
snooggums@piefed.world · 1 pts · 68d
Adding a horizontal reflecting shelf the length of the hallway is far less likely than lining up reflections. It doesn't even make sense.
If you start with the hallway floor and then mark out the same distance as a reflection it all matches up.

Uhh, what kind of source do you expect for this??

grrgyle@slrpnk.net · 1 pts · 68d
Yeah I saw it as much wider at first too, with those doors to the left sort of floating in apart from a wall.
Thanks for the looking tips

Satisfying Liminal Space. Those water jugs are pissing me off, though.

Is this a glitched out liminal space?

I'm sober as fuck and this fucked me up. So don't worry. You can drink some more. If you could have one for me too that would be appreciated.
