I'm such a C# shill but,
any time I hear someone say "the garbage collector slows things down too much" I feel like they're not aware of just how many tools you have to avoid heap allocations
it seems to me whatever work that entails, it's almost always less work than using an unmanaged language

Wow, @openbrush.app name dropped by @valvesoftware.com in this interview as already working with Steam Frame! 🥳 Please still send us dev kits… www.pcgamer.com/hardware/vr-...
The Steam Frame is here: 'a new way to play your entire Steam library'
Wireless connectivity, improved optics, new controllers and a chip all of its own, the Steam Frame looks to be worth the wait.

We are pleased to announce the release of the Best Practices Validation Layer. It addresses a critical need in XR development: catching suboptimal API usage patterns that can lead to inconsistent behavior across different OpenXR runtimes.

no matter what you think about valve we are unfortunately at a stage of capitalism when it is extremely refreshing when a company comes up with a product for you to simply exchange money for

steam frame announcement impressions:
a bit disappointed by the grayscale passthrough, resolution, and soft strap without on-ears. none of those are deal breakers though.
the expansion port with camera mipi and pci-e is very interesting, as is the headstrap modularity.

I wish the analog stick had not ultimately won in the VR space. Analog sticks are fine on two-handed controllers but on one-handed controllers there's nothing to brace against and the thing slides around in your hand all funny.
Steam Frame, Steam Controller, Steam Machine announcement is expected soon, here's a first look!

Friendly tip for folks. My discord got hacked yesterday and my computer was acting funky ever since. Turns out it was malware installed through a blender file I bought as part of an asset pack on CG Trader. I didn’t know blender files were being used this way, but I figured I’d spread the word.

Well, fuck. Revoking any and all Peripeteia recommendations (and I wish I could un-back it on Kickstarter) based on the very thinly veiled transphobia from the dev (the first one in the screenshots here).
I hate this.

Acquaintance grabbed these screencaps. Idk if it's getting purged.
"Second stage is people rejecting conspiracy discourse" is genuinely hilarious, I gotta teach em a little about Yakub and maybe they'll change their tune
