CS2 Removes Ragdoll Physics As Players Make Corpse Mountains

CS2's closed network test originally included ragdoll collision physics, meaning that you could interact with spawned bodies rather than phasing through them. But this also meant they could interact with each other, so of course people found ways to make corpse mountains. Understandably, for comPetitive reasons and to stop lag, CS2 disabled this feature.

Yesterday, YouTuber 3kliksphilip uploaded a video titled "CS2 - The Superior People Stacking Simulator" which perfectly shows off what kind of shenanigans you can get up to thanks to ragdoll collision physics. He sets the left mouse click to spawn bodies and the right to blow them up.

The original Source engine used a third-party physics engine called Havok, but CS2 - which runs on Source 2 - uses Rubikon, Valve's own developed engine. This is important to note because, in CS:GO, if you stack bodies, Havok doesn't like it after a dozen or so. It starts to chug, bodies begin to twitch, physics breakdown, and everything lags. Rubikon, however, lets you seamlessly pile dead bodies up with few problems - it's not why CS2 exists and it's not why Valve switched to Rubikon, but it's a neat little bonus. Or it was. You can't do it, now.

There is a limit, however. But it's not one you're likely to reach unless you're dedicated. 3kliksphilip found that CS2 can handle 477 corpses at once before it crashes, a staggering upgrade from CS:GO which saw the Game struggle after only 12. So, while stacking corpses isn't what Valve designed CS2 for, it just goes to show how improved the physics engine is and how much better performance is.

It's not the only Gameplay update in the closed network test, as Valve also tweaked some minor issues. The HE grenades no longer affect smoke through walls, players won't drop weapons when getting bonus weapons in Deathmatch, and decoy grenades now have the correct trajectory preview. All good stuff, but no more corpse mountains, so is it really worth it? Yes, absolutely, but they'll be missed.

Earth's civilization is 103 million years old, and is it aliens?

This civilization on Earth is actually an alien civilization and has aprox 103 million year-old. Aside from that, we’ve discovered a slew of indications indicating our ancestors The recently uploaded website “UNEXPLAINED MYSTERIES” attempted to validate this ongoing notion by evaluating the opinions themselves. It was titled “Is Earth’s Civilization 103 Million Years Old, and Was It Aliens?” And it has deepened into what has compelled devotees all around the world to reach this conclusion more than ever before. For example, it refers to all of the pyramids discovered on Mars using Curiosity Rover’s surveillance photographs. They resemble the ones we’ve seen on Earth, which were allegedly created by the ancient Egyptians. were far more “worldly” in character. The goal of this documentary is to ease the novice into this hypothesis and provide a plethora of logical arguments why this could be the case. At the end of the day, it’s the polar op

Final Fantasy 16 Trailer Has Fans Worried About Gap Squeeze Loading

The launch of Final Fantasy 16 is on the horizon and to keep the hype train rolling, Square Enix has been sharing clips from the Game over on Twitter. What Square probably wasn't expecting was for the clip, the focus of which should be Clive's adorable dog Torgal, to be torn apart because it shows the player squeezing through a gap to get to the next area. In case you weren't aware, because let's be honest it's a bizarre hill to die on, Game s using gaps to disguise loading screens is apparently a very big deal. If you've played God of War or Final Fantasy 7 Remake, you'll know all about the mechanic. However, it seems its use in Final Fantasy 16, a Game its creators have claimed is so advanced it can only run on PS5, has annoyed quite a few of you.

UFO Passes by at High Speed Upon Airplane Arrival at Porto Alegre Airport on November 13, 2022

Once again a UFO passes at high speed at the exact moment of the arrival of a Copa Airlines Boeing Plane at Salgado Filho International Airport in Porto Alegre RS Brazil on November 13, 2022 at 00:36:36 hrs. I was monitoring the cameras at Salgado Filho International Airport in Porto Alegre, Rio Grande do Sul, Brazil when I came across this UFO passing by at very high speed right at the moment of the arrival of a Copa Airlines Boeing. Now, don’t let experts tell me that it is a reflection of satellites in low orbit, we all know that something strange is happening and pilots with flight experience report that they know how to differentiate a reflection from an unidentified flying object that, in addition to accompanying the aircraft during its course it makes 360 degree maneuvers. The satellites appear from 7:30 pm until about 9 pm, but they don’t make curves or change speed, they don’t brake or blink. In some cases it may even be, but in the vast majority of sightings
