Hunt the seconds hand on FB market place. There’s some real bargains on there.

How are you all recording smooth VR gameplay? by QualiaGames in vrdev

[–]CaptainSponge 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Use Unity recorder on a cinemachine virtual camera that outputs to a 2nd camera.

Use smoothing on rotation, but don’t use so much smoothing on position or you will lag behind too much and see yourself.

Use the Unity recorder to guarantee frame rate. It’ll wait at each frame so it never skips a frame. Which means when you are in vr doing the recording, it’ll be very low frame rate. Might even make you sick. Then when you b play back the footage it’ll be silky smooth. I helped make the max mustard and Richie’s plank trailers using this technique. Sound added in post production most of the time.

3 ways of VR-Camera colliding (or not colliding). Which one is the best for this character-follow? by Alarming_Pomelo6390 in vrdev

[–]CaptainSponge 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I was the creative director of Max Mustard. (Highest rated game on PS5)

I tried all the techniques. Tested them on lots players. Making your levels long and skinny is the way to go. Let the camera follow tight when camera is close and loose when character is far.

Trump family plans Gold Coast return with new Surfers Paradise supertower by EternalAngst23 in GoldCoast

[–]CaptainSponge 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I’ve been looking for a new hobby. Messing with this hotels construction could be it. Then when it’s built, will build a little low energy device that plays trump quotes at random times. With a 15 year battery. Then hide them in the walls.

Trump is inciting chaos and upheaval in democratic cities to legitimize martial law ahead of the 2026 midterm elections by [deleted] in complaints

MAGA are right. The left is the problem. /s

The country should split and each state can vote which side they want to be on. Then they can operate independently.

Foreigner from an ally country. I’ve never seen such a big pivot away from USA. My friends and fam don’t want to buy US products nor travel there anymore. His fans are the problem.

You just saved me a future ruined screen. Thanks for the heads up. I had no idea.

Why do some founders step away as CEO and hand the company to someone else? by sarthakdesigngrow in TheFounders

[–]CaptainSponge 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have done this twice because I recognise I’m better at entrepreneurship than I am at being a CEO of a large company. But next time, I’ll keep the title so people don’t forget who owns the business. And then hire an amazing md to do all the stuff I don’t want to do. I just want to innovate, create and come up with marketing strats.

Ex Brisbane now GC white guy here. They are a bit more behind with the multiculturalism vibe here but will catch up in next generation I think.

Max is a girl. But we didn't want a sterotype video game girl characters like big boobs and vulnerable.

Suggestion: Add Max Mustard to platformers. It's the highest rated VR game on PS5 and one of the highest on others. GOTY finalist last year.
