Ok I found this post like a week late, but TikTok bought a VR company called Pico several years ago and they were investing money into new software and headsets, but recently cancelled all of their planned games. They are still making a new headset, but they also seemed to cancel their entry into the US market. They also had a ton of layoffs last year.

So basically, I think they’ve lost interest in VR.

Depends on your definition of gen z, and the oldest of gen alpha has barely started getting into highschool. As a zoomer though we are on our way out.

Looks like there’s an emacs package for elastic tab stops.

Ctrl-C halts whatever is running in your terminal though. To be fair, I’ve always just used Ctrl-Shift-C because thats closer to my hand.

There’s syntax highlighting by default in vim though.

I’ve never seen that before, but I have discord rich presence turned off.

I feel its the reverse, most people I know on discord mute most of the discord servers they are in. I put most of the discord servers I’m in into folders so that its easier to find the people I actually talk to and ignore all of the ones I joined for asking questions or downloading files.

Idk, there’s a wide range of text related tasks. Some of those tasks, I would say emacs is very good at (like programming or taking notes), and others are good enough (like email and file management). The reason that I would want to use it for the worse tasks is that the text editing tools between the tasks are all the same and its all programmable.

Its all personal preference though.

Most rhythm games are better on keyboard except for project diva which is way better on controller. I think osu! is the least controller friendly rhythm game and osu!mania style rhythm games are probably impossible on controller if it needs more than 6 keys (unless the charts are designed for controller and don’t require hitting every button at once).

Project diva feels really bad to play on keyboard for some reason. I think its because its only recently been playable on pc and I’m used to controller. It just feels better on thumbs.

Obsidian looks interesting, but I’m already using emacs and I’m pretty sure every feature in obsidian can be done in emacs.

Honestly emacs is pretty decent for almost every text related task and many non text related tasks as well.

Varjo headsets. Apple actually used Varjo’s headsets to test out the software for the Vision Pro while developing it. There isn’t any software specifically for the Varjo headsets since its just business focused.

Apple’s headset is much cheaper than Varjo’s, somehow, despite having similar tech.

They can sell you a 100 dollar elite strap if the strap has nothing and is removable.

lol I got trolled by that once. Luckily they just did rm -rf / instead of hacking me.

Thats true, but you can still use it as a currency if you want to buy illegal drugs, or donations to organizations that accept it (with monero so its untraceable) and buying mullvad vpn. It’s not stable, but its an accepted way of transferring money that can be as private as cash.

Cryptocurrency has its uses as unregulated currency, though that makes it easy to scam people with it.

Yeah I know it was outdated, but people were saying it was gonna be 7 years till the next headset, and the Index is the best headset for getting into basestations these days still. Pimax has really bad headsets in most aspects besides fov, and HTC hasn’t released a good headset in years.

According to rumors the deckard should be compatible with basestations, so I should be able to get the headset standalone.

In my opinion the Index resolution is as good as the quest 2 though so it wasn’t that bad in comparison to other headsets when I got it.

It’s pretty likely that its the Deckard, because we know they’ve been working on that for years, even before the Steam Deck was announced. I don’t think that Valve has been working on any other hardware lately. It’ll be pretty hype if it actually is, though I kinda bought my Index last year so I’m not hyped about it being obselete.

Acceleration of Suguri 2 has a tutorial that is just 9 pages talking about the games systems telling you about how specific buttons are for what attacks and which button combinations and other stuff, but it never tells you what those buttons actually are, it just says they are the attack A, attack B, dash button, hyper button, super button. It took me an hour of playing the game to figure out what all of the buttons were.

I don’t have any of the competitors, but the screen quality seems fine to me. If you hold it at a reasonable distance you can’t really see the pixels. Compared to my switch it is definitely heavier and bigger, so its not very comfortable to hold up because of its weight, so I just rest it on my lap or a table when using it. A small annoyance with the screen is that the resolution isn’t a standard ratio so a lot of games have black bars on the top and bottom.
