glitch of death
after some consideration… glitches and death
Glitches often occur at the death moment because it is a change in state, or technically a change in programme prompted by player commands. The frag moment, the moment that signals character death and orders the end of their animation is particularly susceptible to fault as glitch will attack the body unless that body is completely deprived of programme. This is why death glitches are rife in games that apply ragdoll physics post-mortem. This technology is applied to dead game bodies as an effect of realism making bodies malleable after death, making them affectable by external influence simulating the limpness of any real body.
