I had to switch to Linux Mint but I managed to get wireless VR to work on the old 2014 980m laptop via WiVRn. It's crazy to me how well this works over a decade later! (For some reason Bluesky makes the video play back look kinda choppy. It was smooth IRL!)

A new survey of 1,000 American adults found that the strongest supporters of transgender sports bans are not the people who admire women most: they are the people who hold the most hostile views about women. www.helenwebberley.com/news/transge...

More or less finished with Ghostly Wildcat the import to Resonite. I may make some custom metallic layers (for whatever reason, the outfit is missing them) and the sliders need to be finished, but all outfit toggles work fine. No Protoflux needed.

Doing an import for a friend on Resonite. Pretty happy with ~10 minutes of work and poking around some extra details. Just need to add clothing toggles and other stuff.

Order TPU immediately and print out some shoes for cloven hooves so my life doesn't become a giant slip and slide. Maybe stare into what fragments of people's souls remain in the walking meat suits. Order more shampoo so wet dog isn't the only fragrance I have.

What would you do? (I would try to survive)

Another quick preview of a WIP #Moduprint feature I'm working on over on @resonite.com - bulk packing / unpacking of multiple ProtoFlux node groups! I think this will be a nice quality of life feature to have. #Resonite #GameDev #DevLog

Yesterday marked my first full year on Resonite. Resonite is the first game I have over a thousand hours in on steam, I guess you could say I like it there. I've made so many new friends over the year. Thank you everyone for being awesome! #resonite

Managed to get more work done on the Ghostly Wildcat import in Resonite. Clothing toggles were a bit annoying, since I had to figure what blendshapes controlled what, but I managed to get it working eventually. I may need to revisit it later but oh well. Next up: dynamic bones...

I usually check out as many games as possible in Next Fest, but the tidal wave of AI trash has beaten me Non-AI indie devs please post your games below and I'll check em out instead Also @steampowered.com PLEASE add an option to filter out AI games in searches. It's killing discoverability #gaming

"It must be AI, because it feels that way. Oh, pour me another of my finest wine, which I have only the most delicate palate to enjoy to the fullest." Seriously... AI's largest crime isn't generative AI, but rather how much it brings out the worst in everyone, users and 'vigilantes of justice.'

So I just had a lovely experience where a Bluesky user put me on blast, attempting to claim the VO in my shortform vids are Gen AI, based on "a feeling" There's an epidemic of people falsely accusing others of using AI. It HAS to stop For anyone who think's I'm AI: www.youtube.com/watch?v=jc3Y...

Im getting sick and tired of all the epilepsy inducing ads on twitch. this pokemon x marshmallow one has STROBE LIGHTS. I did a thing, since apparently if youre not in the EU you cant report ads for health concerns. twitch.uservoice.com/forums/31023...

Eh... if it makes my resume look nicer to help keep my job, sure, why not? Already paid for another year of boot.dev. Already did the one involving MCP creation, which was fun but also exposed a lot of 'Why are all these companies nuking their databases? Who configured/wrote the tools?!'

Well, first two chapters down and it's interesting... I get where it's coming from, but so far I haven't done too much collaboration stuff, but at the same time, I don't think I have gotten to that point yet.

Hey, @frooxius.bsky.social, would something like this be handy for the spatial variables in use with ProtoFlux, specifically the rendering engine having a way to play more nicely with it?

#GodotEngine will support spatial containers in the upcoming 4.8 release and we are excited to see how developers use these new engine's capabilities. Spatial Containers bring new capabilities to XR applications to work in shared spatial environments. Read more: www.khronos.org/blog/openxr-...

resonite people i need your aid. Using a mod to get unity post processing so I can use depth of field, but things that are out of focus have their lighting completely messed up. Not sure why or how to fix it. please send help i have a wife and kids

Besides losing my mind to Unity, I have been busy setting up an extension for my workshop area and building a filament buffer that doubles as a passive drybox after the active one.

If you want a reason why I hate doing VRChat development, gaze your eyes on the forbidden pink/purple fruit. I just want to change A TEXTURE! This is not easier; this is pain! I'm doing something for a friend, and everytime I open up the Unity Editor, I feel I am sacrificing my life away.

Okay, fixed it now I- Oh for fucks sake! I thought I had the SDK installed but nope! Okay, this should be easy enough... why can't I just download it? I don't care about the VCC! It doesn't even run in Linux! Why is it such a song and dance for something as simple as the SDK?!

Cool, I followed the instructions and the geniuses behind Poiyomi didn't even bother to include the custom editor they composed with the GitHub download. Why? Why the actual fuck does it not have the fucking system nor mentions you also need to grab it? What's the point of this stupid shader then?

Eh, fuck it: maybe I should embrace the capitalization on stuff given out for free. Like a return to Shareware kind of approach. Now if only I wasn't busy...

not hating on anyone who prefers VRC but Resonite's had all of this stuff since Neos, and it's free. xd

I really hope more people look past just the numbers of "platform a has more people than platform b" and are able to have a similar experience to what I have had. Just give Resonite a *try* for yourself, at the least. There is so much to gain from doing so.

Recently made a big recommended steam review of @resonite.com but the last line is the most important Resonite isn't perfect, but the developers are doing the best they can with the small team they have, and I appreciate them so much for it, for not giving up on our home, for keeping it a safe spot

More cool #Resonite things! We need those now more than ever.

I've been slowly returning to @resonite.com after taking a few weeks break, got side-tracked and ended up working on a new feature for #Moduprint together with @colin.cat, quick zone comment selection! This is a nice small project to get back into working on stuff. #Resonite #SocialVR #GameDev

Okay, let me grab the VRChat SDK, tools for converting that for VTubing, and Unit- I feel like I just gave my laptop 526 MB of cancer. And I haven't even downloaded the Unity version I need yet.

After I get back from shopping, I think I'll try to make a Lutris install script for VNyan, unless someone else has already done this. It is easy to set up, but I think an installer script is a bit easier for most people. Plus I can add polish and upload it to the Lutris database for others to use.

#Jackbox + #Resonite = Dippy's Jackbox Games! I'm sporadically announcing that I'll be hosting jackbox party games in Resonite, with the first of many events taking place on October 15th at 10pm UK time (5pm Eastern, 2pm Pacific)

Welp, the MMU3 still hates me if I don't use it, unless I just ignore it, then we're fine. Steam Machine is on ice for now while I work on the VTubing stuff. Not sure if I'm following the right path, but VNyan has been fine as long as I use Lutris. Decoding what to do with Spout2 is PAIN.

Flame Soulis@flamesoulis.com

Goals for this weekend: - Fix up VTubing setup for friends - Fix up world in Resonite - Build a workbench - Curse and scream at Prusa's MMU3 - Continue to poke the Steam Machine
