Just finished Dispatch, and man, what a fantastic game. Still salty that I got the bad ending tho :/ I read the reddit threads and am pretty sure I know why, but it still seems like BS to me

Another quarter, another time I get notified out of the blue by Plex about a new season of some anime getting released, because Sonarr just picked it up automatically for me :D

What I tried to download vs what I got Somehow I get a feeling this model is not supposed to be on SketchFab 😅

Idk if this is common knowledge, but if you have an epilator, you can put the attachment parts in the dishwasher to clean them.

To celebrate the occasion, I actually made a medium version of my avatar again, for the first time in ages :D

Holy shit, we actually got performance gated group instances 🤯 I didn't think I'd live to see the day, but looks like the VRC team has been cooking with this.

On the one hand this world feels like a total shitpost, but on the other I'm actually pretty happy with how I captured that sort of 90s 3D render vibe :D

Checks out I would say :D

Very possibly the stupidest game idea I ever had :D I present to you: FBTetris! (No idea if I'm ever going to turn this into a real thing with points, maybe block rotation, etc)

Finished it and I found it really enjoyable. Nice story about growing up and developing as a person.

Watching Inside Out 2 is making me feel neurodivergent ngl 😅 This whole plot point of "doing things so other people think you're cool" is something I never did, not even in my teens, and it feels weird not being able to relate to that if it's apparently very common 🤔

Oh No! (whatever this means, lol)

It's my birthday weekend and I want to do a DJ set. Good vibes all round, big UK sound from Jigsaw + Dutch influence from Hentalia! UKG + DnB - Friday 20th March @ 9pm GMT

Point Light Volumes are cool

Looks like I massively misdiagnosed the problem here. Switching to DoT did improve things because it uses a stable TCP connection instead of UDP, but the actual problem was massive packet loss caused by an Energy-Efficient Ethernet setting on my router. Disabled it and everything is super smooth now

I think I experienced the modern equivalent of the "two people grabbing something and their hands touch" trope yesterday. I stood on a crowded train, used my phone and suddenly it did the NameDrop thing with the guy standing in front of me, so I crossed eyes with him and awkwardly said "haha, sorry"

I switched ISPs on Wednesday and while I'm very happy with the latency and bandwidth, I noticed that websites would often take forever to even start loading. Long story short, it seems like they're massively fucking with DNS traffic for some reason and switching to DoT fixes the problem.

Just checked the VRChat documentation and apparently there's now an official way to get the current local time, UTC time and timezone offset in shaders without AudioLink?? This is huge, but also, how tf did I miss this? Was there no announcement for the feature? creators.vrchat.com/worlds/udon/...

I remember reading articles about this sort of thing, but never expected to find an offer to participate in this scheme in my spam folder :D Ngl, if I was super desperate I might actually consider letting some guy from China use my name and a VM to dupe companies, but luckily, I am not.

Hmm, I updated the BIOS and now opening Unity projects works again. I guess I can cancel the PSU order then? 🤔

Wanted to do something in Unity today and while loading the project my PC just completely switches off at some point 🙃 No idea what's wrong here, but my first guess is PSU, a component luckily not super overpriced right now.

I'm probably the last person to figure this out but I can totally see why Virtual Riot was inspired by these sorts of pendulum videos to make his polyrhythms track. No matter how you visualize it, it's always super mesmerizing :D

I went back to the original video and noticed that I made a mistake in my shader. The inner circle should be the fastest, while the outer ones get slower, but on mine it's the other way round, with the innermost one being the slowest. I guess I can call it an artistic reinterpretation :D

It came to my attention you enjoy the sound of polyrhythms 🤔

Someone made a Canny for this now: feedback.vrchat.com/udon/p/chang...

Why are all the AI features in messaging apps always completely useless nonsense like "write my message for me" and not something that would actually be somewhat useful like "automatically transcribe voice messages". I really hate these and would love a feature to turn them into text automatically.

So if the "-maxxing" suffix means optimizing an activity and the "-gooning" suffix means losing yourself in an activity, does that mean that recently, in VRChat, people are fishgooning? 🤔

So now that Discord is cutting ties with Persona after a month or so, is VRChat going to reconsider their partner for age verification as well or nah? fortune.com/2026/02/24/d...

I found some motivation to work on my asteroid world (Club Bennu) again. Remade basically every single material with a different shader to be able to add Light Volume support and also improved the lighting in some other ways. Pretty happy with how this turned out.

Tfw you still have some edge cases to fix in your procedural locomotion system #gamedev

I tried to create this effect in poiyomi where Emission Blinking and Center Out lined up. The problem is that "Blink Velocity" and "Center out Flow Speed" are on different timescales. Looking at the shader I found the formula: For speed x put "pi*x" in the blink velocity and "10*x" in the flow speed

I wanna add a pen system to a VRChat world, but there are like 20 different prefabs. Which one is the best one?

Just watched Cosmic Princess Kaguya, the Netflix movie that VRChat had a tie in with that broke the CCU a few days ago. I don't really know what to say 😅 The movie has crazy energy, is very pretty and fun, but also high octane anime nonsense. I can totally see why they did a tie in with VRChat.

Yoo, why did no one tell me Frieren season 2 started a few weeks ago? At least I got a five episode head-start now, before having to wait a full week between episodes :D

PCGamingWiki is down so I check archive.org only to see it's also down? Is the internet collapsing in real time or something? :D

I just randomly remembered the Dreadrith meltdown from several months ago and how he wanted to refund everyone who requested it. Did that ever actually happen? I never heard of a follow-up to that whole situation.

I was today years old when I learned you can't sync null as a string via Udon. It won't complain or throw an error or anything, but the remote side will always receive an empty string so all your != null checks will always be true 🙃

I didn't even have five "proper" jobs yet :D I like to stick around if I like it somewhere. - Software dev for a startup - Research assistant at an institute - Research assistant at a university chair - IT for a university institute - After school homework assistance I guess?

I tried using the new performance debug view in VRChat and I think it still needs some work. It could be amazing for performance debugging, but why are all the numbers in scientific notation? Maybe I'm just not bigbrain enough, but I find 1.0e2 or 3.9e6 way harder to read than 100 and 3,900,000.

Sometimes I think it'd be cool to use my Quest Pro as a standalone device to run something on it and then I do it and it's the worst fucking experience ever. Seriously, how is the software on the Quest still so incredibly buggy and shitty even after years of development???

Not sure if this idea is good or terrible, but after @captainduck.bsky.social recently posted about the IKEA downloader, I thought it'd be cool to make a huge random IKEA maze. Sadly the script broke, so I used the same tech to make a large office instead, where you can have a popup anywhere!

now that's what I call "usable internet" 🙃

time to get off the sinking ship

Ordering food before going grocery shopping so that it arrives shortly after you're back is so nice

Stolen from twitter for you mapmakers: There is a tampermonkey plugin that lets you download 3d furniture models from the Ikea website. github.com/apinanaivot/...

Looks like I really fucked my sleep schedule on my vacation last week. I'm actually getting tired at midnight and getting up at 8am well rested, wtf

I finished watching Andor yesterday, and it really is as good as everyone is saying. It actually makes the rest of the Star Wars franchise look really bad in comparison tbh. Watching Rogue One right afterwards (as the story intends) is extremely jarring.

I was feeling a bit under the weather the last couple of days and today decided to get some vitamin D pills for the first time. Took 2500 IE earlier and I feel honestly incredible. No idea how I slept on that all my life, but wow, definitely good to take them during winter.

one takeaway from the grok noncon porn thing is that much of the media just isn't interested in an issue they can't pretend has two sides or that doesn't give them an opportunity to shit on the left. Also it would be uncomfortable to justify remaining on twitter after acknowledging it
