I think it’s fine to have some less commonly used actions be only accessible through a terminal, even on more user-friendly distros. That is basically what Minecraft does, and yet no one’s scared of that.

It dissolves in water, so you can also just let things soak for a while. Glue stick is made of the same polymer that people use to print dissolvable support material.

Glue stick washes off in about 30 seconds. I wouldn’t want to use it all the time, but for just 1 part it won’t inconvenience you very much.

The ti-84 plus is based on the zilog z80. From 1976. The calculator is still being made, and still costs $100.

Better calculators just use floating point math with a few tricks on top to pretend it isn’t floating point math.

Degrees of freedom

3dof things usually just track rotation, because that’s easier. But for a full VR experience, better depth perception, and more normal interactions, 6dof devices are used which track position as well.

IMO even a normal flatscreen is more immersive on average than a google cardboard, although that’s partially because a flatscreen hides the flaws in the graphics a lot better.

HLA tho needs 6dof controllers for the intended experience. That mod tries to get around it, but that obviously involves some sacrifices.

IIRC no cardboard ‘headset’ ever had 6dof tracking. It’s about as far as you can get from an immersive VR experience. I say this as someone who bought one before learning about VR and getting a real vr headset.

It’s like VR with all of the downsides, even less apps, and the only advantage over a flatscreen being (limited) depth perception.

If you already have a (lower midrange) PC, then yes.

True

it’s doomed now, but I love my Reverb G2, I got it for the same price as a Quest 2 (before the q3 released) and, having used both, its a lot better.

The game starts at 60 USD and goes down to 30 pretty often. If you have VR already, it’s not very expensive.

I think there’s a mod for that iirc

don’t worry about performance, GHz will always go up

TF2 devs lol

This is slightly misleading. Even if you can’t achieve “agi” (a barely defined term anyways) it doesn’t mean AI is a dead end.

I think most big budget multiplayer games last 2-5 years, but there are some (among us, fall guys, lethal company, etc) that pass pretty quickly, and some that are just bad enough that they are basically outdated already when they come out.

The game I most recently bought is Trackmania United Forever, still $15 on sale even though it came out in 2008. I suppose my purchase of that is less though than of what they get from a user playing their new subscription based (!) racing game for a year.

I think the only games I’ve played in the last month or so have been Trackmania United Forever and bonk.io

No, they said 67% at 6y or older, but 92% at more than 2 years old

I wouldn’t call a game that came out in 2023 “old”.

The UI looks the same lol

The layers are the big thing, but its hard to show because the final result looks the same anyways
