Thoughts on this guy?

>lead programmer on Commander Keen, Wolfenstein 3D, Doom, and Quake

Jesus.

I find hilarious how he justifies his move blaming the guy for not doing the sign to stop
And the guy acts all enthusiastic like wtf how cool is that

People wanted a face for the tech side of the industry, he fulfilled that role and his autism didn't prevent him from being a total lad.

10/10 Rage still can suck my dick.

ugh, quite problematic

No idea who he is lol sorry better ask someone else

You had to google it?

No. Google asked him how to wipe a ass.

Fixed that for you.

Who should play him?

mmm

I have to google once a week the syntax for INSERT INTO, some things are not meant to stay in your brain

Ryan Gosling.

Not handsome enough

How did they get him to play himself in this flick?

Quite based for releasing so many source codes, unlike the prick of Tim Sweeney.

The Chad Carmack > The Virgin Sweeny

If google and intellisense didn't exist, 98% of programmers wouldn't have a job.
It's extremely common to understand a process or concept but not have the syntax for it memorized. I've been a web developer for 7 years and I still occasionally google basic shit on Stackoverflow like "jquery nth child" or "react typescript async"

I have a lot of respect for the guy, but I don't think I would want to hang out with him.

>he justifies his move blaming the guy for not doing the sign to stop
you make it sound like it wasn't that guys fault for not tapping out.

>linking polygon
Go back

it's gonna be shit regardless. it won't translate well to tv.
also why didn't you just pastebin the article?

Does anyone have that print of girl's code vs Carmack witchcraft?

It's exactly what I'm saying
Tapping out is expected in that environment, but not for an outsider on a power trip because he is bigger
Add Carmack's total lack of capability to read emotions and there you have it: a knocked out journo

pretty based, but fell for the yellowfewer

saving this

This. If I ever met him I'd just thank him for having made some amazing games but I doubt I'd be able to say anything else that would interest him. At most some more abstract question about his ideas of the future and potential dangers as tech is closing in on dystopian levels or something along those lines.

what did he mean by this frens

That the violence in Doom isn't meant to be normal. It's exaggerated for effect.

I'm very happy this guy decided to take interest in software rasterization optimization rather than recipes for human flesh.

then you're an idiot. you have a rough estimate of how long it will take for people to pass out, but ultimately the only one who can really let you know exactly when it will happen is the one being choked out. he let him know what to look out for and when to call it; the guy didn't and carmack let go when he went limp.

Reminder he is blue balling Rogan since 2016

the level of violence in doom is supposed to be extreme, of course it shouldn't be considered normal.

No, I'm not
The guy was not aware what that manoeuver does so he kept going like let me see I'm sure is not that bad
BAM lights out
It's not Carmack's fault either, but it's hilarious because Carmack can't into emotions. He is like a brick

Blue balls II

Carmack is always operating at maximum output, he can't "let go" of someone if he's supposed to choke him out.

I'm not all that interested in VR, but I'm glad someone is.

Based on his older video game work, I like his general interests and aesthetics.

Joe Rogan: I showed you my DMT please respond

He's good at tech. One of the best.

He's a no talent hack at anything that requires a shred of creativity though.

Attached: 1555716685640.png (243x243, 12K)

yeah, you are.

Very distinctive face.

Programming and engineering require metric shittons of creativity, he just can't handle the artistic shit.

His rendering techniques are literal creativity

It'd be interesting to see that. Assuming it doesn't turn into an hour long breakdown as Carmack meticulously goes over all sort of things that no one else but him will follow.

This makes perfect sense tho. Doom has always meant to be an extreme exaggeration of violence, specifically of violence in video games. It is very intentionally an outlier, as the tweet suggests. That is literally the point of the game series for the past almost 3 decades.

Yea, the technical problems involved in creating a game like Keen or Doom were "impossible to solve" for a PC. It takes incredible creativity to come up with a solution that no one else could think of. And then he shared it with everybody.

What's he trying to say here? I don't get this.

I believe he's trying to say fuck niggers and trannies. Pretty based if you ask me.

He's facebook's bitch now.

It would turn out EXACTLY like that.

That individual leanings are very complex and declaring racism and xenophobia because you said something the internet disagrees with is completely retarded
But you can't speak out against the echo chamber because blue checkmarks will name and shame you for not falling victim to groupthink.

His books are overrated and shallow, but people hold him up as some great intellectual.

Faggot, gimped the Saturn port of Doom because he hated texture warping but had no problem with the Quake port literally using a completely different engine with radically changed geometry and texture warping to boot.

he advanced VR several decades

its a long discussion but basically hes defending palmer against twitter retards who think hes hitler twitter.com/ID_AA_Carmack/status/1147269420034580484

He's obviously some kind of programming savant, he's just not very well-spoken, he tends to ramble endlessly and go on wild tangents.
I have no doubt that John Carmack is a great intellectual, but his conferences and lectures are always borderline incomprehensible.

They call themselves liberals just to proof how fascists they really are against others opinions
It's pathetic

Carmack versus Miyamoto. Who was the bigger influence?

Attached: contact.png (604x329, 47K)

Both deserve to their spot in gaming history. One pretty much invented FPS, the other created iconic characters and games. It's tech vs art, in a way. No reason to pit them against each other.

Is that true

When will he finally release us from the VR Earth experience?
Every patch that he delivered made the situation worse and worse, why can't he just finally end it with an asteroid made in the quake engine to end this VR suffering.

Carmack made home computers viable for modern video games.

Yes, you can try it out with your hands.

Yes.Pretty much how a pinhole camera works, but not quite. The smaller the aperture, the deeper the depth of field.

>yfw be pinned and choked out by Carmack

>As reported in David Kushner's Masters of Doom, when Carmack was 14, he broke into a school to help a group of children steal Apple II computers. To gain entry to the building, Carmack concocted a sticky substance of thermite mixed with Vaseline that melted through the windows. However, an overweight accomplice struggled to get through the hole, and opened the window, setting off a silent alarm and alerting police. Carmack was arrested, and sent for psychiatric evaluation (the report mentions 'no empathy for other human beings' and describes Carmack as 'a brain on legs'). Carmack was then sentenced to a year in a juvenile home.[5][6]

Based.

I love this story.
>a sticky substance of thermite mixed with Vaseline
In an alternative timeline, we could be talking about Carmack as we would the Unabomber.

Stephen king is cool

Forgot to mention that all the comments are fake and made by someone looking for free (you)s

this was basically the sweet spot for id tech. not the game itself mind you, because it was bad. very active modding scene and commercial licensees that made decent games.

you probably can't either

That was probably just so the teacher could tell you understood what you were doing.

His quakecon 3 hour diatribes on whatever the topic are fantastic

Well now that you mention it, another part of the image that's fake is that the Quake code actually had comments in it. The 0x5f3759df is followed by a "what the fuck"

No, it didn't if you had a 25-MHz 386DX computer, and even if you didnt have, you could downgrade the graphics.

Check this boomer stravaganza

Despite not understanding anything about coding, I always like to see these little comments they leave, usually cursing a specific line because they can't figure it out.

An actual Autist in the right place at the right time with help from the right people. He is a brilliant programmer, but nobody credits the guys from SGI and the other tech firms that were helping him during his Quake days.

Carmack may be an agnostic, but he respects those of different beliefs.

How the fuck would you even come up with this constant? This is some black magic shit.

Spend enough time with a problem, a goal, and a debugger and realizations you never though possible begin to emerge.
