Ray Tracing
A computer graphics rendering technique that simulates real-world lighting by simulating light rays being emitted. The rendering starts from the camera and then outward. The result is an image with real-world lighting. This method takes a lot of processing power. It can take a long time to render a single frame on low to mid-end computers.
Ever since NVIDIA released their RTX GPUs, real-time ray tracing is possible now. This caused ray tracing to increase in popularity and is now used in some video games such as Minecraft and Quake II RTX. Due to ray tracing requiring a lot of power, this is only available for high-end GPUs (high-end GeForce or 20 series).
Ray tracing has all of the features in modern game graphics but has much more accurate and real-world like lighting:
Ambient occlusion
Godrays
High quality reflections (phong falls under this too)
High quality shadows
Soft shadows

Glippy
A slang term for GLP-1 medications(like Ozempic, Wegovy, Mounjaro, etc.), usually referring to their appetite-killing, weight-loss, or “I forgot to eat” effects rather than the medical details.
Usage:
* Often casual, ironic, or meme-y
* Can imply effortless weight loss, suppressed hunger, or being “powered by pharmaceuticals”
Notes:
Not a brand name—just shorthand for the whole GLP-1 wave. Frequently shows up in online jokes, gym talk, and group chats where people pretend they’re *totally* doing it naturally.
