anyone got a light gaming miniPC they'd be willing to trade for a full raspberry pi 5 8gb ram kit with 45w power supply, Poe+m.2hat, 512gb m.2SSD, build in sound+speaker board, and a couple mini/micro hdmi adapters?

i hate vrchat worlds that are games where movement speed is an extremely important factor in the gameplay and balance
and then they dont make strafe speed and run speed the same.
by default, these values are different, and thats a problem for games.

Woke up to quite the update on this. I had been in contact with Payment Cloud about getting their service and they waited until now to hit me with the image below. Again, stringing me along instead of being upfront. They had seen my website multiple times before this.

mobile gamepad enjoying friends: avoid the backbone. it has critical issues in its design and engineering. ive replaced the internal ribbon cable twice now after mere months. gamesir x2s or x5 lite seem superior.

as a staff member for a convention, im going to say that cons publicly discussing bans is generally very risky and must be approached very carefully. that is why AC cant outright say what some of you want them to. to do so would invite a defamation lawsuit.

time for some rational takes.
crusadercat was already banned.
he was not supposed to be in the parade, nor was he welcome.
so we need to ask the following:
did he have a badge on? if so, whos was it?
how and where did he sneak in? did someone happen to catch it in a recording?

@xcirrex.bsky.social bug in UASRF: if someone is too far from the center of their playspace when they die, they become softlocked on respawn: avatar has disappeared, grabbing the gun makes it vanish, and the doors wont open. they are trapped.

Oh!
I forgot I thrifted these yesterday! They're photo keychains!
Thinking of doing tiny art busts and putting them inside as a commission idea! The two on the left would cost a bit more as they're double the size.
I'll make a mock up soon, my mother is taking me on a small getaway to cheer me up

caveat: original black wands not compatible with 2.0 base stations. newer blue ones are.

imagine setting up a flex ribbon cable
as a moving part
that is expected to flex a million or more times throughout the life of the product, in nonlinear directions.
and expecting that bend fatigue wont set in within a month.
this is the stick touch sensor of the valve index controller.
