Who is Ray Tracing?

I keep hearing about him, it seems like he's involved with a lot of newer games?

He is related to Tom Clancy and Sid Meier.
- Don't forget his brother Path Tracing.
  
  How could I?
- & Knuckles
  
  Tom Clancy & Knuckles at the Olympic Games
I think he may have been Updog.
Cousin of Antia Liasing
- I've heard he was her Nearest Neighbor
He's continuing legacy of Ray Casting.
- But got beaten at the Olympics by his successor, Ray Gunn
I think he hangs out with Al Dente quite a bit.
- He's the creator of OpenAl?
  
  I can call you Betty.
  And Betty when you call me.
  You can call me AI.
Ray Tracing, the cyber pony?
- What is that cutie mark? Some app icon?
  
  Looks to be AI generated going off the watermark
  
  Either that or a gpu... maybe both.
- I myself cannot condone this, but I refuse to downvote it as well.
If this is a serious question, do an Internet search for the difference between "ray casting" and "ray tracing".
- Why, are they colleagues?
  EDIT: don't downvote this person, this is a fun-only thread
  
  No, Ray Casting is his mentor.
  
  Lol I'm ok, but thanks! I got your back.
He is responsible for lighting and reflections. Pretty overrated guy and gets paid way too much.
Not sure, but I've heard he's friends with Justin Thyme.
- We all just call him JIT
- Now tell me about Aaron Waters.
He a dude that likes to play with reflective spheres on checkered planes. Cool guy :)
If he's anything like Justin Case, I wouldn't trust him.
I can't show you his face, but this is the guy.
- So his parents predicted the future???? Holy moly
Brother of Rees O' Lution
He is a dear friend to Lan Party and Arya Cummingtonite.
- I haven't seen Lan Party around in decades.
I don't know but he makes my games look real good and I like him.
I'm pretty sure he was the attorney representing Bill Stickers.
- Bill Stickers is innocent!
He’s a neighbour to Justin Case.
He's tracing a photo of Robert.
- Robert Goulet? In memoriam? That's thoughtful of him.
He's the uninvited guest to the party with really shiny clothes and LEDs all over him that can't stop talking about how cool he is
This is an A-tier thread
Reminds me of "Who is this Four Chan?"
- part of the internet group Anonymous
Friend of the Bills. Bill Stickers and Bill Posters. Both are innocent btw.
- You can try as you might, but Bill Stickers will be prosecuted!
  
  Bill Stickers is an innocent man!
I met his sister Way Tracing once! She served me food in a nearby restaurant.
probably a relative of this hard-boiled guy named dick. or that artsy paper guy.
He's a horse whisperer
Ray is tracing the corpse of John Doe at the behest of his commanding officer.
Tracing is actually his middle name. His full name is Ray Tracing Xiong, or RTX.
