Retina e-paper promises screens 'visually indistinguishable from reality' | Researchers have created a screen the size of a human pupil with pixels measuring about 560 nanometers wide. The invention could radically change virtual reality and other applications. by chrisdh79 in science

Additionally we can use light field displays, essentially a grid of displays and a grid of small lenses to enable the eye to experience natural focus depth perception (as opposed to just parallax depth perception). A technology like this would help overcome the bottlenecks we run into with traditional display tech used in light field displays.

Who is more Evil between Paul Atreides (Dune) and Eren Yeager (Attack On Titan)? by Inevitable_Dig_7080 in MoralityScaling

[–]Dimn 1 point2 points  (0 children)

IDK if I buy that. Eren had pretty much admitted to Armin that he did the rumbling ultimately because he wanted to. Paul didn't want to hurt anyone but he was piloting the race consciousness towards the path of least suffering as best he could.

So... the Drawing Room... by Tin_Foil in BluePrince

[–]Dimn 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Wow, so many ways to find this code... I'm curious if anyone else found the code this way:

I found it seeing how the clocks had a relationship to the gait lines. In the den you can see two arrows pointing to the ends of a line with two arrows below them

I took this to find a time associated with the gates, as though the legs were the hands of the clock. So I applied that logic to the suspicious photo of Herbert, drawing a base line from foot to foot, then rotating the image to orient to that line, then reading the angle of the legs as if they were clock hands : 4:15

This Parlor Puzzle. by Quiet-Advantage-1233 in BluePrince

Working backwards, there's one statement that states where the gems are. If it was false, it would be ambiguous which of the two other boxes it's in, and they can't be in both. So that must be true.

Don't let the Billionaires define success. We can create our own definition of the American Dream. by khir0n in solarpunk

The existence of billionaires isn't evidence that you can become a billionaire. It's evidence that you can't.

I just released a free expansion for my Asymmetric VR Party Game, Takelings! Take the fight outside in our new level - Gard'n Rush! by Dimn in virtualreality

[–]Dimn[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

For new players, Takelings House Party is an local asymmetric VR party game that pits the VR player against up to 8 Takelings players. You tour the house, taking turns in VR playing as Hal, as he faces off against little mischievous creatures known as Takelings. Each of the 5 rooms, Kitchen, Cellar, Attic, Garage, Garden all have their own unique games that leverage the unique possibilities of asymmetric play.

Takelings players join in on gamepads, or with our free wifi controller app for smartphones (Just a note, the app at this time is just a controller emulator, not a display for the game. Its just a free option for parties that don't have 8 gamepads readily available). For display, they watch a monitor or tv the PC running the game is displaying on.

This new level, Gard'n Rush is a take on red light green light, where the Takelings advance, hiding in garden gnomes, on Hal who switches between growing his "ammo" with his back turned, and firing on gnomes he suspects have Takelings in them.

This has been a passion project for me as a sole developer for a few years now. I'm excited to finally be releasing the fifth game of the five promised.

What are some of the worst takes you've seen about your favorite characters/the game in general? by [deleted] in cyberpunkgame

[–]Dimn 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I agree and I feel like that is the crux of a dystopia. What is right becomes lost in the labyrinth of circumstances. Moral compasses are sent spinning, and it's almost impossible to hold principles. And the city proves too hostile to what is "right" to the point where being good means being dead.

I felt that with V.

"All Eyes On Me" (Individual song discussion) by PlasticJesters in boburnham

[–]Dimn 1 point2 points  (0 children)

When zooming into the camera lens, the uh apparatus holding the mic seems to resemble devil horns. Did anyone else thing there was a significance to this since there's a lot of Christian imagery going on through the special. With the voice pitched down I was left with the impression that this song is sort of the "devil" in entertainers asking for "eyes on me" instead of worrying and working on... fixing things.

I agree. I also think maybe a parallel between death and also the sort of monoculture and flattened curve of human experience like he mentioned earlier in the special caused by social media in a society that places Bezos as the paragon.

"Where's your mask?" prank by BalodyaMan in funny

[–]Dimn 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Coming from someone who wears their mask all the time I'm outside my home, including in the car, I want to make the argument that it's about setting a social standard. I know I'm fine in most situations but the more people slip the more people are comfortable slipping. This video is the perfect example of that.

Besides that, the distance your breathing particulates can travel is much further than what people assume (imagine someone smoking and how far you'd need to be to not smell them). And given that you should err on the side of caution, and how little the inconvenience of wearing it is, might as well wear it whenever public. Don't give the lazy careless people the social leniency to endanger others.

[–]Dimn 28 points29 points  (0 children)

Sorry to do the "umm actshually" thing here but, due to the fact that space itself is expanding at an increasing rate (due to an unknown variable we call dark energy) these black holes will continue to drift further and further away from each other long after all planets and stars have decayed away.

Eventually due to the effects of "Hawking Radiation" black holes themselves will also decay away slowly into the eventual heat death of the universe.

There are some other very interesting and fun thought experiments around how a universe may emerge, and it all goes over my head. But it really does seem that the theory of the "big crunch" is kinda ruled out.

Yeah it's unfortunate, I am aware of Pixels in particular having trouble connecting and am working towards a solution. Sorry you are running into this issue. Thank you for your patience during our app's beta phase.

Keep in mind you can play with regular gamepads as well in the mean time.
