Apologies to the other side of the planet, but Millie has captured the sun and will not be letting it go.

@eniko@mastodon.gamedev.place Or you acknowledge that putting anything in a person's feed amounts to publishing, so if someone you follow posts then yep fair game they're responsible for that, but every fxking ad or algo post or YouTube recommendation the buck stops with the website.

Millie is a normal sized cat with normal sized legs on a normal sized cushion.

Moments after we turned on the Christmas tree lights Millie discovered that she could see through time.

Staring in awe at the Earth below, Millie felt an overwhelming sense connection to other cats and the planet as a whole.
Bathed in the light of a new dawn, she realised the inevitability of Universal Basic Income.

@ifixcoinops @hi_cial Also the obsessive use of grids, to maximise the number of intersections.

@timixretroplays I have excellent news for you about working in a game development studio, but it becomes terrible news once the studio is successful and Money People arrive. Please don't use that as the twist for season 2.

@timixretroplays@digipres.club We have a heat pump (in Canberra) and haven't had any issues - 3 people, two of whom shower first thing in the morning.
What I like most about it is that I was able to set it up to run in the middle of the day when energy is cheap (or often in our case entirely free).
If you do decide to stop using gas the fuckers at ACTEW will try to bill you a huge amount to dig up the pipes. But if you argue long enough they agree to just cap it which is much cheaper.
Replying to
@troberts@theblower.au yeah, uh, wtf. My gut says prank (just pipes, no explosive material) and police massively beating it up.

@TomF oh, also I was fully expecting this story to involve VR locomotion breaking critical path level scripting. Fallout VR was a total nightmare to play because of that.

@eniko This is the most exciting part IMO. Blending effects that are just one or two bitwise operations away.

@TomF I'm still on Quest 2 and FWIW yes those awesome improvements made all the difference between nauseating curio and immersive and fun experience (especially with the touch controllers), but also inside out tracking, no cables, and being a self contained console I can just leave in my living room made all the difference between thing I never get around to and thing I actually use.
I'm still waiting on a killer app tho. A Beat Saber rpg maybe.
Replying to
@AFoucart I miss when Apple would reject app submissions for anything that could be done in a website.

@littletranspunk@kolektiva.social @dramypsyd@ohai.social Oh shit is holy water still holy if you boil it?
What if you freeze it? Can you make holy ice cubes?

@burgerdrome@aus.social I especially love that 9 months into owning it, I'm still not entirely sure whether my tv can tune in to broadcast signals.

@ipg Explaining to Farbs Jr that sure, my share house had a home network, but if you wanted to move something big (Counter Strike, AOE2 etc) it was much faster to unscrew the case and take your hard drive for a walk.
Replying to
@Felice@mastodon.gamedev.place @TomF@mastodon.gamedev.place Yeah, positional tracking made a huge, huge difference even on CV1.
Of course it added a million layers of gameplay headaches too though (what do you do when the player just straight up walks through a wall? How do you balance for different play area sizes etc).
I remember clicking on a video where someone showed off their Space Pirate Trainer score, and they basically just jogged laps around a room the size of a squash court while I was stuck trying not to fully extend my arms.

@hanakogames@mastodon.gamedev.place I think this might be the first not-woe I've seen you post? Hooray!
