@Ekruteak @sean_gause every window has the same exact texture on it, they arent meant to combine to make a coherent image. That being said though, and just taking each window as its own thing, the dresser does kinda ruin the effect, I wonder if you could do a second parallax texture for it?

@nelo390 @sean_gause this looks flat to me

Here's a better idea of how parallax can be used to fake interiors in games

@Ekruteak @sean_gause It seems to be shown working well at oblique angles, Is your criticism that it wouldn't show a wall to the left or right?

@sean_gause The illusion breaks at oblique angles, but I still love this effect.

@RobertJALA @sean_gause @itrue98 'Learn how to optimize' THAT IS WHAT THIS IS. OPTIMIZING YOUR TIME SPENT MAKING SOMETHING THAT GETS LOOKED AT TWICE.

@sean_gause @itrue98 Fucking gamers man. Always showing how stupid they are about shit they don't understand. These two things aren't even mutually exclusive. We use cube maps to fake our real interiors that you can also go inside of why would we leave the real actors loaded in the world.

@deploybarabsz @MizoChris Chromebook grade hardware?!? What are you smoking man

@MizoChris For a device which effectively uses budget laptop or even Chromebook grade hardware? Anything over $700 will be huge yikes

Steam Machine Pricing, overpriced or overpriced? • rumor back in May 10th points above $1,000 ($1,167) • This is closer to a compact SteamOS gaming PC also with various models • Steam library access and ecosystem flexibility are the selling points if pricing climbs too high, people will start comparing it to custom PCs What are you willing to spend?

@Ghost8099110002 @josethevrtech they've released over a dozen games?

@josethevrtech When the steam frame is released Valve will have made more headsets than actual games (unless you count the vive already). We need software.

I hope everyone learns ASAP that Steam Frame runs on Arch Linux for ARM (aarch64) without much restriction (other than compute), and nearly all the popular “mainstream” flatpaks (apps) are already available in the built-in KDE store, (including ones in the screenshot).

@SteelGaleBird Foliage Salad my beloved

I wanted to see Expie happy so I gave him a sandwich #casualtiesunknown #scavprototype

@TotallyNot3m @msichal @LambdaGen @valve None of my friends have been able to replicate this, Seems a bit of a freak accident but I'm curious how it happened in the first place.

@RADIOSCR3AMS @LutheBunny basically all animals can hold their breath- being submerged is pretty common.

@LutheBunny Seeing stuff like this makes me realize how freaky humans are sometimes. Like why can we hold our breaths.

Grace goes swimming!! Rocky is not thrilled. (1/2) #projecthailmary

@BenLiddicott @DJSnM That's- Sad. Hypotheticals engage the brain. It's fine if you dont want to worry about it, just like it's fine if you dont want to exercise it, but it's a sad thing to promote.

it's always an option to "reject the hypo" - we can always say, "that's silly and not worth my time to consider" There was a Wondermark.com cartoon about "Weasel insurance". (I can't find it now, but the premise is specialist insurance for weasel, stoat and other mustelid incidents). Can you afford not to have it at only $9.99 per year? Once you consider the question, of course, it's difficult to quantify the risk of a Weasel incident! And you can insure against it for the low, low price of $9.99 per year! What price, peace of mind? Or, you can just say - "that's too silly to even think about" In short: The answer to this question is a swift elbow to the molars. It's a silly scenario, and anyone who asks the question even half seriously deserves a trip to the dentist.

If you keep doubling then eventually the mass of people causes them to collapse under gravity and kill them anyway.

@NatzSakdis @kingquacgetter @bubblegumbword they arent being serious. nobody in this thread is man.

@kingquacgetter @bubblegumbword Angiotensin 2 and cortsiol and vagal compression are fake? God... Why is the world full of physiology and biochemistry illiterate military grade retards? Biology is the bottom of the barrel of STEM.

Just told my bitch wife suffering from postpartum depression that there’s a lot of narcissism in self-hatred

@En_daichi @fresh_newman @higureshuuen yuh i just disagree with the logic behind it

@nelo390 @fresh_newman @higureshuuen Did you read it properly?

もはや開き直りがすごい。 「海賊版はわが国の文化だ。他国が文句言うな」 って…。 それ、「わが国は泥棒が文化です」って言ってるのと同じなのに…。

@En_daichi @fresh_newman @higureshuuen I do not consider it theft. I put my digital projects out into the world in hopes that people copy them, and use them to grow and learn. It is not a zero sum game anymore.

@nelo390 @fresh_newman @higureshuuen It’s just that, much like how ‘in Japan, a lost wallet is returned to its owner’, they take ‘theft’ very seriously. They also regard the unauthorised copying of digital data as ‘theft’.

@En_daichi @fresh_newman @higureshuuen Yes, the law requires that you follow the law. And breaking the law induces some hesitation in me, depending on the circumstances. But if it's not hurting anyone, like riding my bike in an empty street or riding an electric scooter, fuck the laws made by old guys paid by corpo's

@nelo390 @fresh_newman @higureshuuen Circumstances may differ in your country, but in a state governed by the rule of law, citizens are required to abide by the law, and any amendments to the law should be proposed to the legislature.

@fresh_newman @En_daichi @higureshuuen WHY NOT?? The law does not determine what is okay. It is the best approximation that the government system does, with all of its bureaucracy and bias. I will not strictly follow this law, because it is not always what is right.

@En_daichi @higureshuuen 法が間違っていると思うところまでは別にいいんだけど だから法を破って良いとはならないんだよなー

@FoxDieKrasnikov @ObviousRises @higureshuuen Lmao i feel this so much, I used to follow the guy 8 years ago before he became so aggressive😅

@ObviousRises @higureshuuen How the fuck am I on your side AGAIN?! FUCK ME MAN, YEAH MR. OBVIOUS IS RIGHT

@Solothurns @ToastyGhosty12 I want you for your birds

@ToastyGhosty12 They only want me for my birds

Lovely homophobic bird ❤️

@MealltaMcFie @aristomarinetti @grok Do animals breed in captivity

@nelo390 @aristomarinetti Is denial fun for you?

This is literally how most modern people spend their lives.

@MealltaMcFie @aristomarinetti Everything you just said was absurd.

@aristomarinetti Animals do not breed in captivity. Did you know that? What would human captivity look like? Would it look like cutting off large masses on their body of pleasure nerve endings? Would it look like never being able to legally own a home? Paying taxes to foreign countries?

@TheLeakySpigot @kaimicahmills @AubyPiper wow you are stupid

@nelo390 @kaimicahmills @AubyPiper With something that's fully developed, that makes sense. When you're talking about developing something from nothing to full-grown adult? Yeah, you need hormones that I'm very sure are not synthesized.

the ultimate solution is through technology we engineer what has been called a bodyoid: brainless animal bodies that provide as much meat as we desire without harming any sentient beings this would transform medicine - the same platform would allow us to grow organs on demand, eliminate transplant waiting lists, and produce perfectly matched tissues for each patient experimental therapies could be tested on full biological systems without involving conscious animals, regenerative medicine would accelerate as entire replacement tissues become manufacturable in the same way that agriculture turned food from a scarce resource into an abundant one, engineered bodyoids would turn biological material into infrastructure - meat without slaughter, organs without donors, and medical research without sentient suffering
