Most normal adults think anything animated is for kids

Everything the light touches is yours to shed on

Glacier National Park, and pictures dont capture the scale!

Easily my favorite place in the lower 48

How it's goin

A sunset view over clouded mountains, with the Vera C. Rubin Observatory building on the right

And Rubin is poised to revolutionize our understanding on that front.

For all the crap going on in the world today, it's still a wondrous time to be alive. Hopefully this brings a bit of that wonder to your day.

The Flammarion engraving, depicting a pilgrim with his head behind the night sky, gazing at the machinery of the heavens

For millennia we believed the Heavens to be static, unchanging, eternal.

Every year now we discover more and more how that couldn't be farther from the truth. Our universe is scintillating with activity, not just on the timescale of eons but mere days.

Like REALLY massive.
6.4GB per image. 20TBs a night. 60 PETABYTES when all is done.

It's not just asteroids either. Variable stars, supernova, active galaxies and black holes, and quite likely things we don't even know exist yet!

Some cool science for your feed:

Yesterday was the first images release for the Vera C. Rubin Observatory!

It's 3.2 gigapixel camera is going to image the entire night sky every 3 days, for the next 10 years, creating a massive catalog of all that moves, pulses, and flashes!

i was invited to play Hotbox on the 29th, and ended up spending a few days putting together some visuals for this cozy little forest setting, and so Break #20 will be a smaller one with doors opening at 8:15 EST, ending an hour later. the full event is going for 6 hours before that!

might just be you're used to working with unity constraints rather than VRC's constraints

Feel free to dm me here/discord/tg if you need more!

Idk the most elegant solution because i speedran this, but basically just added a target on the soarer as a source to the tigerbee position constraint, as well as rotation and scale constraints to it. Animated the source weights on position and global weights for the other 3 for on/off states

also thanks @searing.bsky.social for documenting my crimes

no idea why the sound is exploding at the start

For the afk settings I mean in general settings > power you can set the sleep/power things to their max of 4 hrs.

For some reason you can't disable them natively. If you did want to you can either put tape over the proximity sensor or toggle them through the developer hub app on PC (MQDH)

Biggest thing for me was setting aside a dedicated network on the router just for the QPro and just on the highest band (6e if you have it, 5GHz otherwise). Before my router kept trying to be "smart" and knocking the connection down to 5/2.5 GHz and things would get super crunchy

I haven't experimented much but things that work for me:

On quest side, just setting VR/desktop bitrate to max so long as it's not stuttering

On desktop side, VDXR runtime and h.264 encoding

iirc disabling sleep/afk mode settings in various places helped make it much less frequent.
When it does happen i find closing+reopening the VD app on the quest the fastest way to resolve it
