Not All Podcasts

I would not have guessed that reply guys replying to really popular accounts would ever check if their reply is a duplicate.

I didn’t catch that this is why Alec stopped posting there. I assumed he was just being sensitive to being a public figure in general.

When you make a channel that is filled with “well actually” and “turns out.” You should expect your audience is into doing the same.

And when you don’t have an algorithm filtering these for you… well, then you get the reality of other people’s interactions. Twitter just optionally hides this reality from big accounts. (I’m talking about what they use to label “low quality replies” or something similar.)

The federation issues of replies/boosts/hearts/etc are still a big bummer, though.

They want an algorithm.

As much as people mock it, or know it’s the source of why social media optimizes for outrage and other unhealthy behaviors, the algorithm is what they are missing on Mastodon.

As someone who always used third party Twitter apps, and never directly saw the algorithm in my timeline, mastodon feels like Twitter always did.

I’ve been skeptical of how this would be adapted ever since it was announced. I assume there must have been something that didn’t translate well that needs a lot of work.

What? Just slide them down your wrists. /s

The Index controllers are never really out of the way for anything. And sliding them down your wrists is uncomfortable, awkward, not practical for all wrist sizes, etc.

I personally think the Index controllers are overhyped and terrible. They are awkward, didn’t live up to their promise for finger “tracking”, make your hands sweat, they are bulky, the straps are never quite the right tension, they had durability problems, etc etc.

I’m not sold on these, but I can see why others are. And why people in the club scene or who are performers would give them a shot.

I sure miss the original CV1 Touch controllers.

I want to start using this.

I knew this was Ian Bogost before I clicked the link.

That sounds icky in the hand…

Seems like ColorWare style painting is a better option. (But much more expensive.)

That’s sad to see. The broadening of VR is a real struggle right now.

They way they do light baking is pretty impressive for what it is.

Thanks!

I’ve never heard of it before either. It doesn’t seem weird to me. Just, the assertion that it’s overwhelmingly common does not sound right.

They are doing good! They just had their 17th birthday!

Best internet cat.

Same here. Including when silent is off.

Damn. Thats impressive.

Ah, that’s good to hear.

Yeah. It used EAC. EAC is supported on SteamDeck. They moved away from it.

What five pieces of content that are available but not on PCVR do you think would stop the death of VR?

I suspect that device will always be too expensive, big, and loud for practical home use. I hope to be wrong.

The tech itself won’t go away and uses for it will be found.
