  • Do clipping bugs creep you out?

    From plateshutoverlock@21:1/5 to All on Tue Mar 29 13:27:42 2022
    Is anybody else creeped out by game clipping bugs
    where a character's hair ends up going through her armor,
    or when two cars ghost into each other? I am, and
    the ultra realistic graphics in some games makes it
    much worse. There are 3D game graphics where I have
    to look very hard to determine whether I was looking at
    an actual broadcast of a sporting event, or a video game.

    Watching something ghost/melt through something else
    gives me the heebie-jeebies.

    like if an npc is stuck in a wall? and they're taking damage? and
    they're screaming? and, due to some coding bug, they can't die?

    yeah.

    Sometimes cable TV signal gets distorted somehow and suddenly the image half falls apart and the resolution of the images decreases by a few orders of magnitude. That's about as close as I've gotten to seeing what you describe.

    I've seen this effect and it looks like the people are trapped behind a nasty sheet of cloth trying to break out.

    This would've creeped me out had digital TV existed while I was growing up. It still makes me feel uneasy.

    Sometimes it looks like the actor has morphed into a shaggy monster and then suddenly assumes human form again.

    I used to play this coin op arcade game called I, Robot. It had a problem
    like this with a round obstacle. If you touched it, your robot died. It floated
    up and down. You were supposed to roll through it at just the right time.
    It had clipping issues with going through the floor when it lowered.

    That game was the awesomest, I just assumed that was the way it was
    supposed to be. Do you think that's air you're breathing?
