Midjack posted:wanna see a pro wrestler with a chatgpt hype man that results in the undertaker suplexing a half rack at the next wrestlemania. that gave me the idea to have it come up with a yospos wrestler and cut a wrestling promo and it did a pretty good job. i will only post a little snippet cuz i know people hate AI posts: quote:The Undertaker may be a master of the tombstone piledriver, but when it comes to operating systems, he's a complete noob. Meanwhile, I've been using Linux for years. I know all the ins and outs of Ubuntu, Fedora, and Arch Linux. I can code in Python, Perl, and Bash. And when it comes to configuring my system, there's nobody better than the Linux Luchador. Shame Boy fucked around with this message at 19:19 on Apr 5, 2023 |

Shame Boy posted:yeah walkabout mini golf is on my short list of "reasons to bother buying a VR headset", which is a bizarre thing to say about a fuckin' mini golf game but it's apparently just that good it's great for socialising at a distance because gestures and subtle hand/head movements translate really well in VR, and the game goes according to your own pace so you can actually talk. plus it's just really nice. it's like the chillout mini-holodeck in Sunshine

Otherwise, yeah, I get sick.

I still haven’t finished the stupid thing cause it’s too scary there's apparently something wrong with my inner ear because my brain just doesn't seem to give a poo poo if it looks like i'm in motion but sitting still, or vice versa. otoh, i can use vr without any ill effects, so it's impossible to say if it's bad or not

Turning your body around while changing directions via hand control feels so unnaturally weird, that's what usually gets me That said it seems like my body is slowly getting used to it. Even just playing stationary games was rough for me at first. I used to get motion sick in the dumbest games on a normal monitor, like My Summer Car, so I was concerned about how VR would be

i enjoyed the series but watched it as an adult so it didn't blow me away. i only made it through half of the first movie though- it was too much the same thing for me to want to watch another seven hours or whatever
