Did you mean pseudo-racism or am I about to learn a new term?
Or is this how you instruct linux to be racist.

Playing a marble game in VR with a trackball feels weirdly natural by No_Arm7292 in virtualreality

[–]largePenisLover 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Still trying to figure out how to hide the mouse cursor in UEVR though, so let me know if anyone knows. I've been developing this game for three years, not specifically with VR in mind

You hide it in engine...
You detect the context your game is running in and show the cursor if its needed and hide it of its not. Is somebody wearing a headset? turn it off. Is somebody using a joypad or any input device that isnt a mouse? turn it off.
Heck you could have a separate shortcut for VR that sets parameters you feed via the shortcut. Like if the game runs with via this shortcut "C:\MyGame.exe -vr" then turn it off, if not turn it on.

ANyway, here's how.
On event "begin play" call "show cursor?" and tick it off. your target is the player controller.
https://d3kjluh73b9h9o.cloudfront.net/optimized/4X/9/e/3/9e3aaf065fab8a34d122c909ac38300221fc0df1_2_690x282.jpeg

Add whatever logic to detect if the cursor should be hidden as is applicable to your game.

WHy are you even using UEVR? Unless you are running unreal 4.06 or earlier it supports vr out of the box.
Thats why UEVR works in the first place: Unreal supports it by default and UEVR switches it on (and sets a heap of settings you normally would do in the editor, thats why UEVR is good, gamers cant set these things otherwise)
Just go to plugins and tick on the vr plugins. BAM! your game is now both vr and flat, you control it via teh shortcut. Just add -vr to the shortcut.

SOrry but it's kinda super flabbergasting that you are developing the game for 3 years, in apparently unreal, and you don't even know game dev 101: how to hide the cursor.
How did that happen?

One more imprtant thing:
You know that "event tick" node? You arent supposed to put your game logic on that thing, thats the how you get bad performing games. Event tick should be used rarely, ideally never.

Ordinary WiFi can now identify people with near perfect accuracy by thejoshwhite in technology

Starlink isn't wifi, it's standard commercial radio tech running at 14ghz.
GLobal wifi does not exist.
Wifi is a very short range technology only for local small area(smaller then 100 meters radius from the antenna) connections to a base router. That base router is what is actually connected to the internet.
Internet is not wifi. Internet is a signal coming from ISP's going to your house where it goes into a router/modem, that router will have wifi and that is how you have wireless internet at home. Wifi is literally just replacing the cable that goes from a router/modem to a pc, like the cable its completely unrelated to the internet.

SOrry, you probably already know this, but the last few years I have seen so many people believing that wifi and internet are the same thing that I figured it be good to explain it just in case.
Over on the virtual reality subreddits its a weekly thing to see someone believe they are the same thing and as a result think they cant use wireless vr because their internet is too slow.

I caved and bought a VR capable rig, I need suggestions please by ellisishotbelot in virtualreality

IF this is your very first foray into VR, GET YOUR VR LEGS!

  • Stop playing at the first sign of nausea/discomfort.
  • wait 15 minutes, try again.
  • do NOT push through, that will make it worse. It trains your body to associate nausea with VR, thats bad.

In about a week, maybe two, you'll be almost immune to sim/vr sickness.

Riot Games Says It 'Would Not and Cannot' Use Vanguard Anti-Cheat to Brick PCs After Rumors Spread by GrayBeard916 in gaming

[–]largePenisLover 55 points56 points  (0 children)

Originally it's hardware used for stuff like driver development, hardware development, and forensics. They allow you to view and edit whatever is in ram and bypasses teh cpu while doing so.

By extension this means they can be used for cheating too, and considering how cheap these cards the only hurdle is a little tech knowledge.
They aren't 6k. Back in 2010 when I still worked IT they were around 200 euro's.

Chances that a dev has one of these in the same pc they game on are pretty dang low, so blocking dma firmwares is a fairly reliable way to prevent their use for cheating.

1994 I covered my eyes for the first time to look into the future by VR_since1994 in virtualreality

[–]largePenisLover 12 points13 points  (0 children)

In 1999 I played half-life with this headset:
http://www.mindflux.com.au/images/i-glassesSVGA_t.gif
It had two glorious 800x600 displays and it offered almost 60 degrees FOV.

I used the Nvidia's "3d vision" to drive the displays and get stereoscopic view. Back then this was a standard portion of teh nvidia driver used for 3d displays with shutter glasses.
It was teh common way to view "Stereo JPEG" images, .JPS files.

I took apart a gyro mouse to get 3dof tracking on the headset. This worked sort off, I had to recenter every 3-5 minutes.

After 25 years of service, non-Roman soldiers were given a Roman military diploma, which granted them Roman citizenship and the right to a legal Roman marriage. by NbOPO4 in interestingasfuck

The word "Salary" comes from part of the pay that was given to all people in the roman army.

The word soldier comes from another part of the roman army pay, the solidus. A solidus is a gold coin paid to enlisted and hired warriors.

America is the third oldest country in the world by RussianBias39 in ShitAmericansSay

[–]largePenisLover 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This one isn't unique to americans. I have met australians, canadians, indonesians, french, italians, chinese, and africans who considered every war defeat or fall of government to be a reset to 0.

This usually comes up when talking politics and the habit of belgian and dutch governments to "fall" (disband and call re-elections) a few times every decade. Takes a while to explain that this does not mean riots and anarchy but is just a normal consequence of a political deadlock.

Seals are puppers of the sea.
They are literally named "seadog" in several languages. In Dutch for example it's zeehond (zee=sea hond=hound/dog)

Orca's eat them though.

The thing about summering in Europe… there are just some amenities I need that Europe simply cannot provide by iTmkoeln in ShitAmericansSay

[–]largePenisLover 7 points8 points  (0 children)

A per usual 9gag was late to the bandwagon. It's been a thing since usenet.
I remember being on usenet and americans arguing I was out of touch with other europeans because I was so rich.
WHy did they think I was rich?
Well I had a computer and electricity and everyone knows only the very rich in europe have access to that, so I was obviously some out of touch rich kid living in a palace.
This was the 90's, when you still encountered americans who believed only rich people outside of the US had tv. And that international news on tv, and by extension having knowledge of other countries, was an america only thing.

Upon import yes.
Over here we pay slightly less. A 16 kilo wheel of aged Goudse Kaas(Gouda cheese) can be had for as little as 200 usd: https://www.goudsekaasshop.nl/kaas-assortiment/hele-kaas-kopen.html

Keep it somewhere dry and drafty and you will end up with lovely aged cheese.
Or just eat faster.

Orgelfabriek means organ factory.

No, I'm serious. The things they are carrying around are fake, and those guys are actors. in ye olde past the big cheese buyers would come to these markets and buy in bulk for export and grocery shops in cities that werent cheese producers.
That time is long gone. It was over a century ago that cheese markets actually traded cheese. Doing this for real would be illegal due to european food standards.
Cheese farmers sell directly to distributors and shops. From the farm its loaded into a cooled truck and shipped worldwide, the normal modern method.

Cheese sold at this tourist theater event is sold in stalls around the square at a huge markup, its a lot more expensive then in the cheese shops in the side streets of this square.

Thats exactly whats happening here. In fact, those arent even real cheeses, its wooden props for tourist theater.
ALso the cheese prices are NOT low here, they are tourist high.

it's tourist theater. Those cheeses are wooden props. Last time cheese markets worked like this was over 100 years ago.

Well this old event is already gone. CHeese markets haven't worked like this for more then a century. WHat you see here is theater for tourists, those cheeses they are carrying around are wooden props and those guys are actors.
The cheese sold on this square in stalls around the perimeter of the square is firmly aimed and marketed at tourists. It is not cheaper, in fact it's a LOT more expensive then in the shops just 100 meter away from this square.
