I managed to get through it on my old 1050ti. Laggy at some parts, but still mostly playable.

As a little note, the eye tracking would be a huge selling point for social games like VRChat. Very few headsets support it so far.

I would have to go with landmines. If that isn’t enough of a deterrent, and claymores or even some bouncing betties.

“Welcome to Applebee’s! Would you like apples or bees?”

“Bees?”

“HE PICKED THE BEES!” chefs angrily shake jars of bees

I would use it for like 1 game on the quest store and more portable/wireless VR on PC. Even though my Index, is superior in almost every way, an easy headset to give to a visitor would be nice.

I probably wouldn’t pay $200 for one, but if a friend was getting rid of one for $50-100 I would likely snatch it up.

Pasting the first section of the article because of the stupid anti-adblocker on Mobile:

• Shinobi Warfare’s developer is rewarding players for positive reviews, violating Steam’s terms of service agreement.
• The controversial practice was revealed by a Reddit user, leading to concerns about inauthentic reviews flooding the game.
• Despite reports to Steam support, Shinobi Warfare continues to face backlash for questionable tactics and content appropriation.

Shinobi Warfare, a 2D turn-based RPG multiplayer game, is being called out by Steam users after it was discovered that the developer has been rewarding players with in-game currency for leaving a positive review. The lucrative reward has led to the game receiving an ‘overwhelmingly positive’ review badge, but goes against the platform’s terms of service agreement.

The discovery was made by Reddit user Glavurdan, who took to the Steam subreddit yesterday to reveal their findings. The post has multiple images of the questionable practice, with the most notable being on the Shinobi Warfare Discord server, where an admin on the server offered players 1,000 in-game gems to leave a positive review.

If I remember correctly, the ELI5 is it’s impossible to measure something without interacting with it in some way. The calculations and science determine it will turn out like the top image. The moment we try to measure it though, we have to interact with it. This changes the calculations and whatnot, thus producing a different pattern.

It’s that correct more or less?

Was hoping for more about the game takedowns, but not much of anything was said:

LP: […] how does The Pokémon Company handle Cease & Desist letters with regards to fan projects? How did you find them, and where did you draw the line on what’s allowed and what the company thinks needs to be shut down?

DM: Short answer: […] someone from the company would send me a link to a news article, or I would stumble across it myself. […] I say this to my students: the worst thing on earth is when your “fan” project gets press, because now I know about you.

LP: Oh. Oh no.

DM: But that’s not the end of the equation. You don’t send a takedown right away. You wait to see if they get funded (for a Kickstarter or similar); if they get funded then that’s when you engage. No one likes suing fans.

I would love to be able to buy something like a dedicated ai card in the future. I’m imagining something for running my own image gen or gpt that’s like a GPU but cheaper and more single purposed.

GPUs work well for AI, but they are expensive and are not optimized solely for AI.

I second this. If you already have one (or even a ps5 controller) then they are a perfect choice. I imagine a switch pro controller would work too, and you get the bonus of having a nice controller for your switch.

If you don’t have one then 8bitdo is a safe choice

Anyone here remember the old flash game Junkbot?

I just want that dino as a fren

Apparently, this is the code for a Hello World program in Malbolge:

“utilithing”

Who could have seen that coming? /s

An industrial grade robot is no joke. I hope whoever set up that robot got sued.

You either need a weak enough robot that it can’t really harm you, or you need several measures to prevent exactly this from happening. Either make all the joints compliant or set up PSD’s/invisible fences to prevent the robot from operating when hands are near the boards.

It’s a mushroom:

Mycena subcyanocephala is a species of fungus,[1] which has its habitat in the tropical parts of Taiwan. It has been spotted eight times. Mycena subcyanocephala is one of the smallest mushrooms in the world, with buttons about 1 mm tall. The species belongs to the Mycenaceae family, with Mycena interrupta being its closest relative.

Exactly. Like, how hard would it be to reverse engineer the poison and create a reversal tool that applies the exact opposite modifications. Hell, I wouldn’t be surprised if it could be defeated by something as simple as a little image compression or noise.
