>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.

fat people ruin everything

This

>Person is smart
>person has no empathy

is empathy for sub-80 IQ?

I hate being fat

>a brain on legs
what a stupid analogy

fat """"""""people""""""""

Didn't Carmack fucking kill a cat once or something?

We need more John Carmacks in the world.

God damn, fpbp again.

He gave away the popular company cat at ID because it annoyed him. He did it behind everyone's back.

Gee if he's so smart how come he fell for the vr meme?

>a brain on legs
Aren't we all, technically?

His cat started being a cunt so he sent her to a shelter. His coworkers were surprised because she was almost a team mascot, and carmack didnt seem to care at all.

He didn't "fall" for it, he just wanted more money, so he worked for it.

Is Masters of Doom the best video game book ever written?

Isn't he being sued by both oculus for leaving, and id/zenimax for bringing shit over to oculus?

How is that going?

/thread

He fucking stole shit about it while he was leaving dude.

Doom must be how he feels and sees humans. If he was born 50 years earlier, he would've been a serial killer

fuck you man, I was born without legs.
Techically correct, but they were going for a metaphor you dunce

are you a good dancer

Sounds like a analogy for the development of Quake.

>an overweight accomplice who now hates windows

>Genius mind
>Forever stuck as a Facebook slave working on a failing product
Tragic.

Kek

The cat was pissing all over the couches so he sold it because it was annoying.

I really think you're onto something there. It's generally said that many of the most successful people are sociopaths. It might in fact be that empathy is a trait that correlates negatively with IQ. I'd guess it's because stupid people are too dumb to realize the average person is a total asshole who would screw you at the first opportunity.

Most 14 year olds don't have a well developed sense of empathy, this isn't a trait unique to the intelligent.

...

Fucking nice

FUCK, I LOST

>Gee if he's so smart how come he fell for the vr meme?

Fall for the VR meme?

Nigga? How do you think we get these kinds of tech in the first place? Someone has to invest the funds and do the research to turn them into workable products.

He just wants to work on tech, he doesn't care if VR will eventually fail or not, it's a new field and he wants to explore it.

He made the VR meme, the problem is everyone is too retarded to actually make something of it.

Kind of like how the Sega Genesis used " GEMS " for music to allow artists to make songs. But everyone was so retarded that only Shiny and the guy who made the hitman soundtrack actually made use of it.

Where'd he get the thermite?

This deserves it's (you)s

VR tech literally exist for decades. We are just at that point in our society that it is commercially viable enough to be marketed to the masses.

Good one

>thermite
Not gonna tell you but this is readily available if you're smart enough.

You mix iron oxide which I think is rust and aluminum powder.

angry manlet

fuck off neogaf, no one wants your upboats

JOHN "GOOGLING HARD DRIVE WIPING" CARMACK

made it

>mfw if \Vee\ was around in the early 90's they would have been calling out devs for "falling into the 3D meme"

They did on RTS games, they bitched about 3d RTS games.

That implies VR is the next evolution of gaming when it's not. It is literally attaching a monitor near your eyeballs with an accelerometer..

They were 100% right and 3d fighting game are all shit too.

It is, it's already infecting every fucking sim game. From racing games, to flying jets or space sim freespace mods.

There are literally 3 mech games in development, a sort of star trek arcade sim was released in like less than a years development that is multiplayer that every VR owner has.

Just watch nigger, you'll be playing SteelBattalion VR before you know it.

I don't even own the shit yet, but its fucking tempting.

Nah,

Didn't he say he doesn't really give a shit about vidya but likes making game engines?

I'd tell you how I know you never tried the shit, but then you'll adapt your shitposting in the next thread.
I agree though, it's not the next "big thing" but it's also far from a "meme".

>early 90's
>3D RTS
>RTS at all
niggro be more specific

read masters of doom.

the dude interrogating him asked Carmack if he would have continued stealing if he hadn't been caught. Carmack answered straightforwardly, yeah he probably would have because he was a fucking kid and hadn't learned his lesson yet.

Fat stupid police man thought Carmack was trying to be a smart ass which was why he wrote the brain on legs shit.

...

kek

Well you know why? Because companies like steam are literally giving them seed money for development.
Don't be so defensive VRfag. Did I say it was a meme? All I am saying here is it is not "THE FUTURE™" like you VRfags are saying.

hahahahahahahahahaha
pic related

>like you VRfags are saying
unlike the other post calling VR a meme, this never happened, in any of my posts in this thread at least
I agreed with you my jumpy poorfag

It doesn't matter if VR is "successful" or not, user. It's possible to get enjoyment out of something regardless of the number of games it gets.

Some people will be interested in it even if it flops overall.

>a=8
>b=8
>function returns 5
is this correct?
wow thank you, women programming

>It's possible to get enjoyment out of something regardless of the number of games it gets.
Unless that number is 0, obviously.

>'no empathy for other human beings'

People who are clinically diagnosed with psychopathy don't necessarily have any desire to commit murder or acts of violence. They can and sometimes do integrate into society without any issues. Carmack may very well be a psychopath, or such a high-functioning autist that his lack of empathy is only an incidental trait.

10/10

Code skrub here, how do you know that a and b = 8?

>Unless that number is 0
SCultist got that exact number and they're still enjoying their shit

That second reply's honestly got a point, though. If you're making software for as a living, comment on your fucking code, because eventually someone else will have to work with it.

If the numbers are equal the code on the right returns 5.

Carmack has always been /our guy/
youtube.com/watch?v=vzmbW4ueGdg

Not commenting can be an anti-piracy measure though can't it?

max is a function you have to use with 2 parameters, a and b
it will return the value of a or b depending on which one is bigger
but if they're both the same number it will always return 5
at least that's how I understand it

You're the one that brought up "meme" VRfag.
>poorfag
LOL. Keep justifying your expensive accessory.

>yesssss im going to "port" so much pussy tonight!

So the "random" (as she calls it) part is that instead of "y" for "yes, they're equal" or something, she uses "5" to recognize it?

Thermite is very easy to make. Only requires two readily available ingredients, aluminum and iron oxide, and you just have to mix them at the right ratio.

BLUE BOARD

The post you just responded to was my first post in the thread, user. I didn't bring it up, all I'm saying is that people don't need something to be popular to have an interest in it.

Thats a lot of fucking seed money and half of these companies have no connection to them.

Some of them are fucking mods.

This is why I am still here, only to see quality posts like these.

Yeah. The screenshot probably isn't real because no one would do something that stupid.

where it says "return 5" it should say either "return a" or "return b" since that's what should happen when they're equal
that function is stupid anyways, most programming languages already have a native function/method/whatever for that

>Thats a lot of fucking seed money
>steam
>Some of them are fucking mods.
So not really crucial?

HER NAME
QUICK !

MY DICK DEMANDS IT !

>14 year old boy does stupid shit and is smart enough to be genuinely destructive so he must be a complete sociopath

Or maybe he was just a dumbass kid too smart for his own good.

are you retarded?

>Yeah. The screenshot probably isn't real because no one would do something that stupid.
kek, have you seen her github?

>You're the one that brought up "meme" VRfag.
the post replying to the one you're replying by mistake is calling VR a meem

>so poor couldn't even afford books for reading comprehension
LMAO@u

The absolute state of this retarded board...

actually, it's the other way around. High intelligence tends to correlate (which doesn't mean it's directly in proportion with) higher sense of empathy. Also, being empathical doesn't mean being nice necessarily. It means you can intuit better what other conscient beings are being conscient about. The idea that smart people are cold and unfeeling is a meme.

how is she anorexic if she has that toned ass and abs?

Makes sense I would find Revenant porn in a Carmack thread

Thank Ms. Skeletal

Not really; making your code a total bitch to edit doesn't do much against piracy. If pirates have access to your source code or can decompile your code to the point where they could see the comments they generally won't even need to crack it anymore

I see this in white people a lot, it's why they make good business men and bankers
