It's a bit overwhelming to have 100x more options (Skimmia -> Shinano body swap)
This was an absolute blast. I think this will 100% win Steam's Better With Friends category, and honestly it has a pretty decent chance for overall Game of the Year with how accessible it is.
this is the best way I've ever seen a remote podcast style interview executed
All I can think of is the "noooo, my 2 genderinos" comic when this bs happens
I'm really glad I've been preserving old family photos and videos on my NAS. One of my brothers is going through the files for the first time and has found a bunch of memories that we both had forgotten about, like the dirt stunt track we made for our tiny four-wheeler (photo of smol me mid-air)
I'm not "mindlessly binging anime", I'm babysitting my 24-hour print (that's starting to come loose from the print bed 😅)
Capstone project demo day complete o7 Now to pass out for 16 hours straight
reminder: not reading the docs can save you from hours of not debugging :)
Big thanks to @techconnectify.bsky.social for pushing his furnace video into my feed years ago so I could diagnose and fix my furnace without needing a service call ❤️ I just had to clean the carbon buildup off my flame sensor and now it's operational again :nodders: youtu.be/lBVvnDfW2Xo
I'm seeing it again because it was fantastic and also to support my boy Markiplier :nod:
I don't think the physbones liked me mirroring the hair lmao (wip avatar, but I'm almost at a stopping point)
I just hope that they have a first party add-on to enable it, similar to how the Vive Cosmos has a replaceable faceplate that enabled external tracking capabilities. If not, I'm sure people can just slap a Vive or Tundra tracker on top of the headset and use SpaceCalibrator or something similar.
I do wonder if the foveated streaming is what will allow the displays to be driven to 144Hz (with how the BSB has a reduced refresh rate for full resolution) or if their fancy streaming dongle bypasses those hardware limitations.
The optics look really promising, with pancake lenses *and* a FOV that should come close to the Index. I really like the Index FOV, and a lot of other headsets have fallen short of it even with better optics. BSB2 is the closest I've seen as my own upgrade path but this adds a new contender for me.
I like that it has an SD card slot for expandable storage and the IPD lock is great, especially with how the Index's IPD can sometimes move on its own during intense movement. Also, native eye tracking + foveated rendering/streaming is awesome. I really hope they expose it to users and devs.
Ok, initial freakout aside, this looks *really* cool. I'm curious to see if there will be any first party add-ons that use the expansion port under the nose. My guess is that it's intended for lower face tracking (like the Babble mouth tracker), but we never got anything official for the Index.
