Title: We are being misinformed
Post by: Ivan on March 17, 2009, 08:12:20 AM
I got this completely surreal private message on the Bullet Physics forum.

Quote
You are being misinformed on purpose!


do you have some of these problems:

* moon like motion, slow downs, choppiness?
* unstable physics, wobbles, jitter?
* trouble with "scaling the world", gravity, units?
* stepSimulation(), deltaTime, fixed time step..


wanna know more? [email protected]

This forum thread is just as strange and nonsensical as the message.

It was very hard to read what he wrote :) No formatting whatsoever.
Did you understand what does he claim wrong about the use of interpolation?

I almost thought he was a spambot. He has some weird writing styles.

i dont need silly lectures and i can do whatever i please.. you, on the other hand, have these choices:

- you can say "thank you"
- you can ask anything
- you can agree
- you can disagree and we can discuss it until one is proven wrong

That's some smart trolling he has there.

But thank you for informing us. This should be front-paged.

distrust of authority + videogame culture + borderline crazy/borderline genius + internet = entertaining

I have no idea what this guy is going on about, but I vaguely seem to get that it's about mathematics? Or physics?

As a sometime dabbler in trolling, I really admire the work of this grandmaster of lulz. The first thing that strikes me is how much he obviously knows about the subject, displayed by his ability to post actual code without completely blowing his cover. And his underlying technique is fantastic: he moves so smoothly from simple, low-level trolling up through the spectrum toward ultimate ridiculousness. However he got excited and made too large a jump here:
Quote
- its about "good and evil" (Intel/Havok), about the beginning of time (let there be light), creation (Designing API), it is about existence and life (ANIMATION), about humans ("Newbies"), human behavior (ALGORITHM) and "soul" (Source Code)
And was banned for his mistake.
 ;D :handmetalR: Rest in peace dude, your memory lives on.
