EA GAMES' MASTERPIECE 'MADDEN 2018 G.O.A.T. EDITION' IS A GLORIOUS TRIUMPH OF ART AND TECHNOLOGY. IT BRINGS GAMEDAY RIGHT TO THE PLAYER AND WHOEVER SAYS OTHERWISE CAN, YOU GUESSED IT...
SUCK THE SHIT STRAIGHT OUT OF MY OWN ASSHOLE.

it looks like Mario is stuck between coarse values, then when he finally jumps between them we see frames where he's smoothly transitioning across space that doesn't have any intermediate values.

What's up with that? Is he being animated through a second coordinate system?

I am absolutely flabbergasted at how anybody could ever spend so much time on the math of a videogame, but I have the uttmost respect for that level of dedication for a completely useless thing.

Well ok, following a virtual fish through parallel universes that you defined is somehow kinda cool

but goddamn, mario 64. this guy could propably do something useful with his bizarre math skills, but not, mario 64
