Why did that shitty influencer beat up the crazy guy from The Hangover?

Unreal was one of my favorite to multiplayer because the setting felt fun to explore with my friend, even if they stripped some of the story out. I’m glad it’s available in all it’s glory.

I was never much of a social media guy, especially after moonlighting one summer as a social media marketer on Twitter and Instagram (really, really kills it for ya), but I was a redditor for a while.

I swapped over to Lemmy exclusively during the API fees, but to be fair I was already getting frustrated by the service. The karma farming was just too much, so many stupid reposts of the same stupid made up wholesome stories and crap. I think I only miss r/comics and r/idiotsincars, the later requiring a critical mass of people to actually be worthwhile.

My dad does this, and I made a few bucks thanks to WordPress. Really, more thanks to Elementor because you can make a pretty snazzy website for cheap and the layman has no it took 2 hours to put together with templates. Lol

All thanks to an early Minecraft bug that made the mob silent by accident… and they just rolled with it (and iirc, texture was bugged too).

Makes me curious if you get more attention on mastodon though. Like if I pitched something on Lemmy there’s a good chance I get the same number of eye balls compared to Reddit, not counting ads. (Although if Kamala posted about Linux and/or Star Trek that’s front page, no ad money needed! Lol)

My dad was able to get his computers in city hall working by just deleting a file, but it is indeed a process. 6 steps, although the specifics elude me. You do have to do it in person though, requires repair mode or whatever.

Funny thing though, they just got a new tech lead that very same day, his first day was this fiasco. Imagine that luck!

No worries, I wish it had pancake lenses too but at least it’s not as bad as the vive. No screen door effect, but yes to the sweet spot thing. There’s a few other things going for the index, like those cool speaker headphones, but yeah… 5 years old, I guess valve is getting distracted by it’s steam deck success.

I haven’t looked into it, but I think there might be a mod to make it wireless now, too, but I haven’t looked into it since having kids. No time for VR when you have self destructive little ones existing in your vicinity.

For me, it’s actually the FOV, it covers more ground (130 degree vs 110). Going back to less FOV sucks. It’s also perfectly fine for clarity and frame rate, although I’d like an index 2 for sure. I’ve heard it also tracks better although I’ve never noticed the difference (I only used quest 3 at other homes).

Still surprised it’s been 5 years, though. But it’s not about what tech is available so much as the priorities valve put into their headset. They wanted it to be comfortable for a long play sessions. Just wish it wasn’t tethered, but it’s probably another reason why it still out performs in things like stability.

I couldn’t go back after using the Valve Index, though. Wireless or not, it’s too much of a compromise on quality.

Edit: sleepy typo

Sim Ant 2 would have been too good for EA after they got the rights. Can’t monetize ants? (But look, this ant has a rare gacha Hawaiian shirt! So cool)

EA: “We’ve added AI to allow your Sim to take care of themselves entirely without your help! Pay $14.99 a month to watch you Sim feed itself, apply for jobs, build and furnish their own home! You don’t have to do anything, except purchase additional packs your Sim requests to live it’s best life. Sims AI, Because We Deserve This”

Edit: wait, crap, I just described an idle clicker.

Cancelled… for now.

Me singing Pop Goes The Weasel to my kids. You know the timing.

I’m not sure why, but playing Final Fantasy XIV worked better in Linux using Wine than it did on Windows. There’s a joke about net code in the game such that all effects take a half second or so to register, so there’s always a little lag for better or worse.

On Linux, somehow things just registered when they happened on screen. Took getting used to!

My 2 year old begs to differ!

Haven’t seen citra in a while. I’ll need to take a look.

Yes, except I think I’d prefer emulation. I was able to get Dolphin to work in VR and that was wild but quite a bit was broken. Wasn’t because of emulation, though, as culling was usually the main issue and emulation was able to fix it.

Except animal crossing, those games take place on a giant cylinder and it’s super trippy to see in VR.

I’ll reluctantly back you up since I feel like you’re right, and while I also have eyes over my back at times, I don’t mind those in-between images because yes, I’m not going to click the NSFW ones in front of my family but I can easily shrug a half naked anime girl or something because it’s the Internet and that exists. And besides, I can appreciate a well drawn image, lewd or otherwise.

Plus, while I’ve got a young daughter, but if any one actually goes outside, you’re going to see worse just on a billboard somewhere. Or if you’re terminally online, you’ll also see it in ads. As far as I’m concerned it’s about as hard to avoid as someone saying fuck. I’ll just have that conversation when I get there.

Sorry those who have stuck up jobs, though. The ones most likely to punish you because of an image are the ones you should most slack off during! Fuck those people, I hope we can move on to a tiered censorship system so everyone can just be happy and not fired over bullshit.
