  15 year old me (circa 1979) had NO IDEA where this was going to end up when he first invented the Githyanki for a D&D campaign then submitted them to Don Turnbull for the Fiend Factory column in White Dwarf (which begat the Fiend Folio, and the rest is history) ...

  1. Chat thread on GAMEPLAY Subject: Penises C and D no longer clip through some githyanki clothing. The fascinating thing about this particular patch note is that it implies the game engine is fully rendering your character's penis at all times, not just when you take your pants off. Reply from trpgcafe I'd say it was because they were accurately rendering the bulge, but if they're clipping through, that clearly can't be the case either. Reply from prokopetz Even if they wanted the bulges to be meticulously accurate, the sensible approach would have been to include a hidden penis size slider in the mesh for the trousers. That way, you could render the trousers with a bulge of appropriate dimensions baked into the mesh and simply switch the penis off whenever it's fully covered; it'd be hugely computationally cheaper than doing fabric simulation to determine the bulge dimensions dynamically, you'd save on running needless penis physics calculations whose results will never be seen by the player, and there'd be no risk of penis clipping. The way they currently seem to be doing it is just sloppy penis optimisation. Reply from amirrorcalledthemoon imagine getting your penis optimized sloppily
