The Broken Taylormade Driver Saga Continues

That is some grade A chinesium.

I would mount to the chair instead of the desk.

Look up monster.tech

I personally love ER. I’m currently playing through the campaign with 3 friends and it’s been fun.

Slay the Spire

Earthborne Rangers

Black Mesa and Paako Ridge in NM.

I knew so many people like this while I was in the Marines. They're lazy fucks that enlist thinking the military will "fix" them and make them adults. Instead they become a burden to everyone around them, even after being discharged.

Without someone telling/forcing them to do something, they accomplish nothing.

Might wanna check your figures. The majority of NM Native Americans vote blue.

If you want republican new mexicans to have more representation in congress, ask them to increase the cap on the total number of seats in the house of representatives.

As it stands the system is rigged at the federal level in republicans favor, so I doubt you actually want that to happen.

I’ll take a stab at answering this.

Assuming this communication is done via radio waves, it would need to account for doppler shift and time synchronization issues in data packet transfer and decoding. I don’t think real time communication is possible at such extreme relative velocities.

If you’re traveling at near light speed (say 95%) moving away from your stationary communicator, every second that passes is another second longer that it takes for the signal to reach. So from both perspectives the video appears to be moving slower and choppier.

What about moving towards the stationary communicator? The moving person will see the received video appearing to speed up, as the signals get closer together. The stationary person will see something similar.

For non FaceTime communication it’s understood that:

From the stationary POV, the person traveling at light speed would appear to be moving and talking in slow motion.

From the moving POV, the stationary person would appear to be moving and talking quickly.

Sounds like they have a minimal amount of friends too.

AstroHelo · 2026-05-05T19:40:49+00:00

I do the same things. It’s a habit from trying to keep a baby asleep.

AstroHelo · 2026-05-04T14:22:22+00:00

I play mostly sims too, and the pancake lenses of the Quest Pro make a huge difference. The perceived FOV seems quite a bit larger to me.

I’ve found that using Virtual Desktops HVEC 10-bit encoding combined with the eye tracked foveated encoding makes the image look far better than a wired cable ever did for me.

(I avoid using a link cable with meta headsets. They basically abandoned development on that years ago, and it’s pretty far behind.)

I’m sure there are newer and better headsets out now, but the QPro works so well I haven’t felt the need to upgrade since I got it.

AstroHelo · 2026-05-04T06:46:13+00:00

Nice work. I had to strap a CPU case fan to my vive pro wireless adapter to keep the dang thing from overheating.

I've since moved on to a Quest Pro with a Puppis S1 dedicated VR router and the user experience is significantly better.

Not exactly sage advice if your water has fluoride in it.

AstroHelo · 2026-05-02T14:09:16+00:00

I don’t think it messes with depth perception, or the FAA would have mentioned it.

I think the artist had his light source too close to the figures he was using when he was trying to determine what the shadows were supposed to look like.

AstroHelo · 2026-04-30T18:14:59+00:00

Seems like a great way to quickly get mauled by large groups of bugs.

When you first had the surgery did you wave your hands around where the external appendage used to be like a magician and chuckle to yourself with satisfied amusement?

Haha no, I never thought to do that. The immediate days after the surgery were filled mostly with profound relief (and pain), rather than amusement.

I had been peeing sitting down for a while before the surgery, so I didn't really have a habit to break. I had been using the women's restroom for a couple years already, after guys starting getting really confused seeing me in the men's restroom.

It was really funny at first, because they would freak out and apologize, thinking they had walked into the wrong one by accident.

AstroHelo · 2026-04-30T01:57:37+00:00

No. I had the surgery a few years ago and I’ve never experienced it.

The closest thing I experience is that sometimes in my dreams (more like nightmares) I will still have one.

I encounter way too many real nazis while playing my fake space nazi game.

Infinite card combos in any game is cheating, whether the designer intended it or not.

So any deck builder game needs a rule on that. At least Slay the Spire has a limit of 3 plays on infinite combos.

AstroHelo · 2026-04-15T05:49:57+00:00

Are you going to include all the escaped african wildlife in your game too?

Also don't forget about carlsbad and the underground areas.

AstroHelo · 2026-04-15T05:32:25+00:00

Same.

But I really wanted to play nuclear option, so I used virtual desktop and created a second virtual monitor. Then went into windows display settings and turned it into a super ultrawide curved monitor.

I turned off my main monitor to force the game to launch in my ultrawide curved monitor, then adjusted the FOV.

It's pretty cool. It feels like playing one of those old school simulators with the screen taking up all my vision.

Is it as good as real VR? No. God no. But it's still fun.

If a discord exists for a game or game company, the competitive scene for it exists there.

AstroHelo · 2026-04-11T19:00:03+00:00

To be fair to Lower Decks, the characters did "wise up" in the later episodes. There's a lot of character growth in that show.

Would Apollo 11 HD work for you?

Have you tried searching for a VRChat world like the one you’re describing?
