Yep.

I ran into this hard with my first full-time job. I still like spending time with folks from before that happened, I just have so little energy now that it's hard to keep up and I had to widen my social group. Lower-energy circles are important too.

I happened to save the VOD for your trip to the VR amusement park land that had that conveyor belt eating challenge, but January 2025 is hardly the start of the journey ^^

(If you still want that though, I can DM it)

Noted! At least nowadays, reprojection is supposed to be robust for AMD, functional-ish for NVIDIA:
lvra.gitlab.io/docs/hardware/

Maybe it was broken at the time, or a different fun bug.

This is exciting!

And there is different kinds - I think the "flips between old and new frames rapidly" is the worst kind of lag I've had. But I haven't had that in a while, probably was an old SteamVR for Linux bug.

That sounds lovely... After dusk fell upon the pantry, what remaned was the dawn of a huge feast for me--

Hey, wait-a-minute, I don't think I ever told you that I'm teeny-tiny

I've heard of midnight snacks, but Solstice snacks might be going too far

(Cute! ...now give me back my noodles)

Going by one of the coyotes I know, it's because they have a beautiful ability to set fire to anything. And they're proud of it.

First time hearing of it, sigh…

(I'm using recycled boxes for almost everything I ship, but still good to know.)

If it's okay to ask since we're following each other here, what is your Mastodon handle? It's totally fine to not share!

(Discovery is one of the hurdles on Mastodon, there's active development on this with the Fediscovery project ^^)

Besides, Bluesky and Mastodon both are actively improving in different areas, things will get better. You can get a head start on figuring it all out ahead of whatever next screw-up Twitter will do (honestly not sure what is left to screw up but I wouldn't be surprised)

Whoof… So that explains my work machine's start menu troubles.

I was kind of hoping Linux would become more attractive by becoming better, but I guess Microsoft destroying Windows is another approach x3

(Linux VR has gotten better since 2022.. but I still fully understand anyone keeping Windows.)

I fear this is only worsened by BSky's content warnings now forming the basis of actual censorship for the UK ("Online Safety" thing), providing motivation to some to avoid that.

Still, folks, please.

Y'know, I wasn't thinking that at all, but I should've known there was a way to shoehorn @sciencefoxsky.bsky.social in there :3

(Also now imagining water-cooling yourself by hooking up a garden hose to your suit. One heck of an un-lazy river inside…)

Yeah, exactly! Good for lazily sprawling out, relaxing, and definitely staying out of the way of others walking nearby, I mean–

Might need to check the floor, I hear there's a fox that often winds up down there.

…no I'm not talking about myself in the third person what do you mean >///>';

Heh, yeah…

I learned pretty early on that my experience with weighted blankets (~47 lbs feels light) is far from universal, and I'm more careful in recommending 'em to others now ^^';

A bit of a "I don't know what's happening, but I'm happy anyways" vibe

And sometimes just being happy is good

I mean, I am shy about being big, but if you're interested in being more insistent on things, breaking the ice, I don't think I'd turn that down…

(I dunno if *demanding* makes sense for me, but I definitely can follow encouragement ^^'; )

I'm honestly surprised how much hassle qDot's getting considering you got them to disregard the "but it needs to be on Windows!!!" support insistence.

I'm gonna be thoroughly testing my Knuckles as time permits for this final week of return period, not trusting that Right hand to not act up again.

Belatedly stumbling across this - yep, wholeheartedly agree. More like a personal, friendly playground, staying close to someone who cares a lot about you, hidden from the world around you…

Agreed. Ideally you don't want your light source casting hard shadows directly around you. More lights that are less bright is often better than a few really bright lights.

(I've wound up bringing a bunch of flashlights when traveling so I can have nice soft bounce light anywhere indoor.)

Hey I thought VRChat didn't want to be tagged in NSFW stuff :/

(kidding.. hopefully, I haven't actually checked the world)

I've tried to touch cross-platform audio processing for my digital LED music light controller. You have my sympathies _o7

(Maybe the projectM visualizer project would be useful? Windows/macOS/Linux/Android builds)

Yeah… It's very hard, but worthwhile. I maybe haven't been the wisest fox this year ^^';
