Closest race I've been in (reply)

MacAddictXIV — Mon, 21 Dec 2015 21:54:27 +0000

Here are some of my moments recently. And Yes, I know I"m really squirrely :-)

First off, the game I lost by .003 seconds in which we took turns riding on top of each other's sparrow.

Then all of the other tricks I can do with a sparrow.

This is my SICK trick I did without even trying. No, I didn't use any sparrow abilities.

Then there was the crash and burn that made me feel like one of those unimportant characters in ANY racing movie.

Last but not least. I have no idea what happened.

Holy shit, I had that too! (reply)

I've had that too. I thought I shouted at my Xbox to record that, but I don't see the clip so I guess not.

It was like the web-grenade effect never went away and just increased in intensity every time I crossed a gate.

There are birds and dragonflies in the game. Maybe one of those hit your helmet visor and caused you to swerve like you did.

No joke. I spent a lap and a half the other day unable to see similar to when you get that tracer shank explosion on you. It sucked.

Also, when you're doing something like calculating when something crossed a threshold, all you need to know is where it started and what its velocity was, and you can calculate the exact time when it would have reached a given point. You don't have to be actually doing the calculation RIGHT when it arrives to get the number right.

I'm sure they used this part of their hit detection code to determine when someone crosses the finish line.

Right, exactly. Just because the graphics display at that rate doesn't necessarily mean that EVERYTHING does.

After watching that video I remember swerving to hit a small bushy tailed rodent on the track. Given my current vendetta against the grey squirrel population I felt it was wrong not to splatter that little bugger all over the front of my sparrow. Did I it cost me the race? Yea but it made me feel a little warmer and fuzzier inside.

Holy crap! (reply)

That's awesome. It would have been hilarious if our audio was recorded from the Xbox Party.

Looks like I may have been in 5th according to Funks video. Even more epic.

I honestly didn't remember all five of us being that close.

I do remember screaming "THAT'S NOT TRUE! THAT'S NOT TRUE! THAT'S BULLSHIT!"

I witnessed it (reply)

From the back of the pack, of course.

It was pretty amazing. UpNorth thought he finally had the win over Beardfade. Nope.

Best Part... (reply)

BeardFade — Fri, 18 Dec 2015 08:07:34 +0000

I was in 4th going into the final turn and I cut inside while all three of them lost momentum sliding right. I wish I had recorded it, it was pretty epic.

No, this is close, .001 second difference (reply)

That's an impressive grouping. The closest difference I've seen was 0.005 seconds.

Might be a silly question, but since destiny only renders a frame every 33ms, how can it meaningfully measure anything shorter than that?

Physics can run faster than the framerate or, more likely, it can interpolate exactly when you cross the finish line (between frames) based upon your velocity & heading.

That's not even close to a frame in Destiny (reply)

ZackDark — Fri, 18 Dec 2015 06:06:14 +0000

How the heck is it possible? It interpolates frames? In ~~atmosphere~~ real-time?

WOW. (reply)
