So sorry to hear that, grief is what it is, make sure you give yourself the time you need to process.
I lost my father last year, that was hard, but also time to reflect on some wonderful memories.

I do not miss Twitter at all, but I do fear it's fate can be the future of any platform we move to including BlueSky as the end goal seems to be to eventually make money off of the platform either by monetizing or selling it to the highest bidder.

I used to love Macs, reluctantly had to switch to Windows 8 or so years ago to do VR dev. BUT WHY is my harddrive completely full with this unexplained "system other"?

To add insult to injury, this is pretty much a MacBook with MacOS, XCode and a few SDKs installed. WHY!?!?

Instead of it mot working, you should have the other penguin jump out of the way or slap the luir away, and give an annoyed reaction

Can you hook another penguin? Like, come over here you!, JOINK!

YouTube video by Bastiaan Olij Godot XR Game Jam V Announcement

I'm a bit late with our announcement video seeing the page went live a week ago but:
youtu.be/qaeNsLBH9ks

Fun casual VR game made with Godot that was just officially announced in early access, go check it out!

Watching an old playthrough of Farpoint VR, the launch title that came with the Playstation Aim controller. I played it years ago...

Kinda sad I can't play that anymore (no PSVR1). Wonder whatever happened to the studio that made it.

Sadly as Fredia said, the OpenXR standard supports it, but it requires phones to implement the standard, and they currently don’t.

Monado is working on an implementation that works on phones, so can keep an eye out for that.

Brilliant!! I love it!

Well, I'll be damned... 🤯🐧🎣🦘

Dev stream 80 - Getting back into XR Tools v2 YouTube video by Bastiaan Olij

Planning on an ad-hoc stream devving a bit on XR Tools 2

Wow, i finally have my pickup logic working. The approach can’t deal properly with rigidbodies that have joins (yet), but outside of that it’s looking really solid. Defo a solid improvement over XR tools 1.

So for me it’s a seeing is believing tech, until then I just can’t see myself playing games in this way.

Oh for games where latency isn’t an issue I think there is definitely a market. But everytime i’ve seen cloud gaming trying to establish itself, it fails on games for which most of the worlds internet is inadequate.

It's probably an issue at my end but its weird that it only goes wrong in certain calls. Alas.. it's what it is...

And then the priority is on bandwidth, not latency. My connection is totally unsuitable for the low latency demands fast paced gaming has.

Sure a turn based chess game will work in the cloud, a VR game? Nah…

Decades of politicians who don’t understand that infrastructure comes first, means we’re over 10 years behind the rest of the world. Today, after living here for 18 years, I finally have a connection comparable to what I had when I left Holland.

I’m so on the fence with this, the problem that needs to be solved first is the infrastructure. Large parts of Europe are ready, but here in Australia we’ve never had the political will and our infrastructure has been hampered as a result.

IDK what's going on, but why does zoom have so much problems with my camera? Sigh...
Anyone else experienced that, it's been really annoying.

Godot 4.6 just came out. Loads of improvements in XR land plus official support for AndroidXR and Steam Frame!

We'll be talking more about XR specifics in the coming weeks!

My cat loves lying on my computer, she loved even more stepping on the power button when jumping off.. sigh

I feel your pain! Still struggling with that too!
