There are 3 universal truths in this world 1. Life is finite 2. The earth revolves around the sun 3. Never tell VR twitter motion sickness is real, and some people cannot or will not get over it.

Is anyone else getting a downright bizarre amount of ads, across multiple platforms, for grillo pickles? It's been this way for me for months now.

A bowl of Soup and the Skryim OST are the perfect companion to a cold rainy LA evening.

I wish I had a friend with a Chihuahua, so I could bother them to come over so I could play with their dog, and in return, idk, cook them lunch or something. I wish I had a transactional on-demand play with a dog situation is what I'm saying.

Ok... I think I'm going to have to do a Skyrim run just to play with Dagoth Ur with me... www.youtube.com/watch?v=yBrZ...

Love it or hate it, you have to admit the VR Monkeyslop is VR Gaming that actually feels like 2025. Most of the 'premium' VR games coming out feel, gameplay wise, fresh out of 2017.

You mean like this?

like that's unity's suggested method except it NUKES ALL THE ANCHORS BRO IT NUKES ALL THE ANCHORS AND YOU HAVE TO RESET THEM EVERY TIEM!!

One of my latest Mordheim pieces. Did a riser experiment seeing how various pre-made texture surfaces worked. Used ABS sheet from Greenstuffworld for the side-brick, and some textured wallpaper for the top Cobblestone. I dig the result.

Remember: Every third hour, you work for Gabe.

I feel like every VR dev needs to be forced to sit in a chair, and play the intro of Doom 2016. If your game doesn't get you to your primary verb that fast, consider changing how it works. You CAN start teaching AFTER the player is already having fun.

Man... VR games you actually have to pay money for are pretty fucked right now. Stupid Slop Sample Scene - Free - 6k Ratings 4.8 Lovingly Crafted Indie Game - $14.99 - 6 Ratings 4.2 -_-

Lol, Escape from Tarkov launches on Steam and doesn't even clear the current CCU of Escape from Duckov.

It's a great cosmic joke that neurodivergence both runs in families and gets diagnosed based on parent reports. I was diagnosed at 30 because a man who has eaten potatoes every day for 57 years and a woman who collects loose buttons decided I was a perfectly normal child.

Randomly watching Tomorrow War. This shit is hilarious. Aliens attacking in the future? Let's send random citizens into the future to fight them, with no training, with HERA stock M4s with ACOGs, 4-6 magazines, no other supplies.

Like I don't know how people simultaneously hold "we're seeing a massive boom not just in hardcore action and horror games that explain nothing, but simultaneously a heavily viral boom in barely parseable Roblox slop" and "but the kids! They just can't figure things out!" in their heads? Come on now

Fuck me, they really did turn Metroid 4 into a fucking Marvel movie www.youtube.com/watch?app=de... Superhero movies are a fucking plague, they destroyed an entire generation of media- yes the first few waaaay back in the 10's were kinda fun, but they weren't worth... This.

The little details in Pluribus are the most hilarious and terrifying things at the same time. I am head over heals for this show.

Just watched episode 3 of #Pluribus. It doesn’t disappoint. The feeling of not knowing where this trip is going but loving the ride reminds me of the first season of Lost. Also great world building! Must watch! #Plur1bus @plur1buspodcast.bsky.social @podcastica.com

The thing I'm most interested in is, after the honeymoon phase, how many 'normies' actually want to wear a headset to play flat games on a virtual screen, if that experience is made maximally frictionless and comfortable.

Hotel Infinity launches today on Meta Quest & PS VR2! It's a roomscale VR experience built around natural locomotion. Every step you take in real life moves you through the game Meta Quest: www.meta.com/experiences/... PS VR2: store.playstation.com/en-us/concep... youtu.be/ixaSqmiYqyU?...

I was a huge fan of Manifold Garden, and love VR games that experiment with natural locomotion like Unseen Diplomacy or Eye of the temple, so getting this is a no-brainer!

Curious: In all the press coverage of the frame (TLDW), and all the stats being shared, has anyone asked Valve is the device can play a Quest 3 equivalent apk? and if not, where its perf lands in practice between a Quest 2 and 3? Seems an odd omission I haven't seen any talk of this.

Again, to every videogame writer who wrote funny emails to read in an immersive sim/etc. where I rolled my eyes and said out loud, "lol like anyone would ever email something this on the nose", again, sorry, I was wrong, life sucks, you nailed it

If you ever fall in love with an arcade game that doesn't fit into one of the small handful of existing big genres, prepare to spend the rest of your days being frustrated about the fact that nobody will ever make a successor to it or develop it in any way

As an appreciator of cubes, out of all of today's announcement, a cube-shaped computer honestly tops things for me. I don't even care what's in it. Merely that it is a cube.

Sigh

For no reason at all I'm just thinking back to that weekend where WMR released and there was this sudden influx of new VR players who'd been told their machines with 1050 gpus in them were enough to run VR games, when they'd all been designed for 970gtxes (m more powerful) minimum. That was fun.

Ok, I have one thought actually. Saw someone calling it the 'Gabe Cube', and I think this is a hilarious and perfect name.

if you want to leave a positive review but don't know what to say I have a suggestion

Regardless of what does or doesn't happen tomorrow, XR BS is going to be annoying as hell. Logging off for at least 24 hours. Peace.

Well, fuck. Revoking any and all Peripeteia recommendations (and I wish I could un-back it on Kickstarter) based on the very thinly veiled transphobia from the dev (the first one in the screenshots here). I hate this.

Really looking forward to watching Predator: Badlands a second time. Keep coming back to thinking about it after seeing it Sunday night.

Back on calorie restriction for like a DAY and I already want to murder everyone.

My latest ruin terrain piece for Mordheim.

Unreal Engine 5

Always funny to see tech grifter influencers (who one assumes could not become part of any official press circuit), say confidently incorrect things about a device they have no access to, and then see waves of people pick it up as fact. What possesses people to do this?

going on twitter now is like the dark world part of link to the past, where the shape of things is roughly the same only now instead of the friendly villagers there's some demihuman freak snarling at you going "welcome to the village of assholes!! we hate you!!" also the trees shoot bombs now

Gonna be weird when OpenAI can't light money on fire to let people make stupid AI videos anymore. Like similar to Ubers getting expensive the sudden drop in that being central to a ton of folks existence will be strange. Wonder what the result will be.

Just got back from seeing Predator:Badlands. Was the fuckin best. Great time. Super glad I saw it on an IMAX screen. ... Will probably see it a second time.

The worst part about feeling awful about the state of things is that we haven't even gotten to the bad part yet. This is still the stage of the nightmare where we're being played with.

All the Mordheim ruined walls I have done in this set so far. (8 down, like 20 to go -_-)

4+ years after we started, THRASHER is now available on Steam for $9.99 with a 10% launch week discount ✨ Play however you like on PC, SteamVR, and Steam Deck!! Get it here👉 bit.ly/4hQ4V38

Nissin has apparently gotten into the 'Spicy Carbonara' Noodle game, mimicking the Buldak ones. Even used a similar shade of pink for the bag. Just tried them. I like! Less aggressive on the heat, I like the noodle texture more.

Just had a thoroughly unpleasant and stupid interaction with Autodesk. Got an IMMEDIATE ACTION REQUIRED email yesterday, demanding a call within 3 business days to review 'out of compliance' software usage. Their slop-coded telemetry thinks there's two AutoCAD users in my house?

Diablo 1 got it right the first time, and we've weirdly been drifting further from it ever since. An entire genre of anime based on Diablo 1 even appeared and starting gesticulating wildly in the other direction. And we're STILL ignoring it as an industry. (no, Town In Dungeon doesn't count)

I wish there was game with the style and vibes and amazing music and gamefeel as Ball X Pit, but that was about something. Just even a sliver of substance or meaning.
