Stuff like this makes a bit more sense when you think about how Autism has been a thing for a very long time. This is the kind of shit we still get up to now.

Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•How many hours do you spend on the computer/in front of a screen?
1·17 days agoMy solution is that my screen is 20 feet away and battery powered, and I keep the batteries on a separate floor, so every 2 hours, I have to get up and do the stairs at the very minimum. But I also tend to walk around or do my life while using the screen, since it also floats around and follows me wherever I go. And when not using a floating screen, I just visit other random worlds that tend to involve alot of exercise, like people trying to murder me but I have swords, or magic, or guns… or maybe a world where the objective is dancing… but usually the murder worlds.
Been doing VR for 10 years now, only the most recent headset (Quest 3) has been a full-day headset, before that, most headsets were 6-10 hours at most even fully modded. Looking forward to future headsets too, now that they don’t have to come from meta anymore to be good. It’s crazy how much firing most of their workforce and replacing them with AI has tanked their software and firmware dev. They used to have it all(enough that it was worth buying their stuff despite meaning you have to buy ‘their’ stuff), but then they threw away what they had, first the software and firmware, and then at a critical point of time they decided to throw away hardware too.
Looking forward mostly to Steam Frame at the moment. And of course with my lifestyle, the number 1 expansion port upgrade I’ll be getting is high-res color passthrough. Glad I get to pick it rather than having to use whatever is good enough/cheap enough for everyone. I would easily sink 200$ into that feature alone if someone makes one worth it. Rather than whatever 20 dollar ‘pretty good’ option would have made sense to include en masse by default.
“Why did you make my food so hot and hard to get too. It’s hurting me!” *takes another bite “it’s still hurting me!”
Hehe yeah, the atoms of the separate fingers are closer than the atoms making up each finger, while I like the concept they were going for, they have accidentally made the fingers literally ‘closer than’ touching.
I don’t want to spoil the surprise, but I think it might be escaped convicts riding escaped zoo animals.
Yeah, my sister was pretty reluctant at first, she is ACE and wanted to support the boycott, but then when the game was basically a slap in the face to rowling, and rowling was trying to tank the game by tweeting that buying the game still supported her anyway, we took that as meaning that she actually wasn’t making residuals on it or she would have just shut her mouth and raked in the money like normal.
I played the game in VR myself, but my sister played it flat screen. We both enjoyed the game. It is definitely very “videogamey” but, been playing videogames for over 30 years, so that is nothing new. The parts that were new to us were worth the parts that weren’t.
Ah, I should probably mention that I played it in VR with motion controls, so combat was alot more fun than what the flat version of the game probably did. And just riding a broom or looking around at the really detailed environments(those that were) was worth it being very videogamey otherwise.
But hogwarts legacy is actually a really good game, the whole problem was that it might lead to jk rowling getting more money. Though they never did clarify if she got a cut or a flat fee that would have already been paid. Either way, this should nullify that, but the team that made the game did a great job, and made it more in-line with the spirit of the books instead of the author. Went specifically against her current wishes. The trans inclusion and positivity was pretty well done. Even if it was put in to spite her, they didn’t draw attention to it, it just is there, and no one bats an eye.
Edit: I should mention that I played it in VR, I can’t speak to what the game is like without VR. But I really enjoyed it. UEVR with a motion controls mod, there is also a voice casting mod, but I didn’t personally go that route.

Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•What's the oldest video game you still find yourself playing?
3·2 months agoThat’s the same one. 6 is US 3.
Yeah, it’s a pretty awesome game. Basically a bunch of voice actors tried to figure out a way to make a game that included over 100 all main cast voice actors. Pretty much every voice actor you can think of is in it, and has a large role.

Showerthoughts@lemmy.world•It would be so funny if China colonizes Mars, then the Martian Colonists declare independence, and Mars become a new bastion of Freedom and Prosperity.

Hehe, yeah. In the oldendays there was newspaper as an option for drying glass streak-free. It was never the best choice luckily, but it used to be prevalent. A squeegee was the old better solution, and a microfiber cloth is the new better solution.
Hehe, I just meant the collecting and redistributing knowledge part. Though yes, it also doesn’t qualify as knowledge, just a string of words that seems like it fits the occasion. Though… not to sell myself short, but not super far off.
If you are catching spray, try to increase the follow distance between you and the vehicle ahead. Same deal for rocks in places where that is a concern. It can be hard to leave a big gap, for fear that someone will come into that gap, but you can’t fix everyone, you can only fix you.
But, we also do have wipers for anything that happens during the current drive, not as good as not getting dirty in the first place, but better than staying dirty.
It was general advice for the situation, not specific to the image. There are many things that can cause it to be much more difficult to see when driving towards a low sun than it actually needs to be. It’s not a great situation at it’s best, but it shouldn’t be fully debilitating.
I am an autistic 41 year old man that lives in my parents basement. I just collect information and re-distribute it where it is needed.
I am basically the pre-cursor to an LLM, an LLM made of meat.
If you’ve ever watched or read anything with that “wise old hermit” that people line up to ask their philosophical questions to. That was an oldendays autistic person of the same type as me. Can’t function in society, but has no emotional thinking to cloud their logic. The thing is, no matter how logical the advice was, and how much it made sense in the moment, it may not have been applicable to normal people. Though I am of course aware of the nature and source of my clarity and try to keep it in mind when giving advice. Unlike the wise hermits of old.
Not to say I am always right, and not to say logic is always the correct solution. But it often is, and I often am.
Clean your windshield, inside and out, and polarized sunglasses, or sunglass clips for glasses. And make sure any level of astigmatism you may have is known and corrected for.
If after washing your windshield, it still scatters the incoming light too much, it is probably pitted. You may have to consider replacing it. It is part of maintaining a vehicle. It may suck to be surprised with an expense like that, but the surprise expense of an avoidable accident is much worse. And might not only be expensive.
It was believable though, because bluetooth has always been randomly a nightmare.




The cockroach mice might be that they had only heard about or seen other slighly less terrible drawings of lobsters.
Edit: Oh wait, thats the ET thing.
The cockroach mice are little paisley looking ones.
