I never tried Sonic on the iPod, but I bet it was ridiculous to control!

Oh wow, I totally forgot about doing that as well! I think I spent the better part of a day getting it work, then “played” it for all of two or three minutes.

I had completely forgotten about iPod games! I think there was one called Vortex that I liked a lot and there was also game version of the show LOST that I only played because I was a mega-fan of the show that was otherwise very frustrating.

Also a great example of why DRM sucks.

Well that’s just super neat! I will absolutely be giving it a go sometime soon. Thanks for sharing and for building!

That is a fantastically odd line of action figures!

It’s crazy to me that a company can just abandon hundreds (or thousands?) of 700 pound machines all over the place like this. I feel like there should be some kind of court order for the person last in charge of the company to drive the fuck around the country and clean up their mess.

That actually looks bizarrely fun!

Huh, I never noticed either! Cool little detail though.

Thanks for digging those up! I figured it was somewhere around that range. I’ve had it be fairly accurate within a couple feet, but I’ve also had Bluetooth proximity show much further.

Does Yunohost use containers like CasaOS? I’ve been using CasaOS for miscellaneous home stuff, but I can’t explain or justify it, I just don’t like containers.

Anyone know what kind location accuracy Bluetooth 5 currently has?

Perhaps lower the contrast a bit? Use some gray and charcoal color? Presently it looks like what I see when I have migraine aura… and I don’t intend that to be mean or anything!

I agree with you, people end up going the perceived “easy route” because of the amount of explaining and low level protocol exposure that they receive from someone who is trying to sell them on joining an ActivityPub network. And that’s just the people who are trying to encourage them to join, then there’s the people that straight up think “normal social media” people don’t belong on the fediverse because of one biased reason or another…

I was just wondering if that still existed a few days ago. Glad to know it does. I like knowing the impossible is attainable.

I, sadly, agree with you. I’ve gotten to the point where if I am reading a thread or forum and the comments turn into nothing but criticism about things that I don’t personally feel deserve the time to read or apply energy to, I close it and never look back. I don’t mind constructive criticism, but I don’t make these things (like TNG or Andromeda) so it’s never practically constructive for me to endure the critique.

Speaking of Mass Effect: Andromeda, I was really enjoying that game when it came out and then I made the mistake of reading threads on Reddit and they were so fucking negative and hateful that it actually soured the experience for me. My own fault for letting it drag down the thing I was enjoying, but there was just so much vitriol that it got under my skin even though I didn’t really agree with the majority of it. My general rule now is to stay away from the fanbases of anything I truly enjoy and care about. Which obviously sucks. Somewhere along the line it became the norm for internet discourse to become an echo chamber of hate.

I feel similar. Way back when they announced a series based around Section 31 I had a whole different notion about what that would be. The fact that they made it at all and the cast and crew all seem so genuinely excited has me hopeful.

I’m actually really looking forward to this movie. I’m all for trying new things within the Star Trek universe!

It definitely does obscure the fact that the PC version includes VR itself. I’ll buy it for Quest and PC myself simply to support the studio and hopefully help make sure they produce games for a few more decades!

When they first announced the remake they didn’t mention anything about native Quest support, but they did talk about PCVR initially (which was the day I finally invested in VR hardware). I’m honestly surprised they got it running on the Quest, though it does look like they had to reduce detail by quite a lot to get to perform decently on the Quest.

For this particular game the PC version will support PCVR via Steam (and probably other ways as well).

Exactly what I was expecting! Definitely read it wrong.
