some toys - some working and some not - I picked up while in Japan

Do whatever you need to do to get to Japan. They have donuts that look like a Diglett

behold, my new favourite Quest 3 app.

Today I started learning how to make AR experiences on the quest 3 and created this cube

bless the maker and his water xo

before/after optimisations

(I promise the dip in image two came from me opening the quest menu to take a screen grab, not my app!)

Ok maybe it is worth $3,500

Daybreak has some of the most beautiful art I’ve seen used in a board game (it’s also very fun to play)

Pokémon concierge is ludicrously charming. The stop motion is amazing. It all just makes me want to live in a world with Pokemon in it.

Something interesting from the evidence NYT provided for their lawsuit against Microsoft: you can get ChatGPT to reproduce articles even originally behind a paywall if you ask for them one paragraph at a time
December 31, 2023 at 2:58 PM
When NYT said that Microsoft/ OpenAI can entirely reproduce their articles, they really meant it

Makes me want to hop in a bunker and enter some numbers into a computer every 108 minutes

In the metaverse you can experience strange and perculiar things. Wonders you cannot possibly imagine, and terrors to freeze your soul.

Today I learned to make a button to create infinite quantities of meat, and how I could eat it as well. Is this how folks who aren’t vegetarian live their lives?

The Old World core boxes for Bretonnia and Khemri look beautiful. Don’t know if my wallet can handle it though given all the 40K Kroot rumours around…

A small bug I found today. It was boxes. Millions of boxes

Today in my journey to figure out VR I made an Half Life Alyx grab system

(It’s hard to represent it as a picture… hopefully Bluesky will be able to handle video soon..)

Every day this month I’ve learned a little more about developing for VR. Today: ladders.

Top is pass-through on Apple Vision Pro, bottom is Quest 3. This is what that extra $3000 gets ya. Occlusion is hard!

I’m sure Grimes’ AI toy will be different though…

I’m in two minds with how the Doctor Who regeneration went down…

I really like the status quo of having one doctor at a time, but this would be a neat way to introduce a retired doctor who will one day become The Curator.
