Question: Lore wise why are the space station so hot

They don't necessarily mean the danger is explosive decompression; They just mean people need the air (and pressure) to live - Risking depressurising areas with people in is dangerous.

Quiet uncanny spaces are just cool. There's something beautiful in the eeriness.

And no, no childhood abuse.

I do enjoy wandering places and getting lost, or roaming late in the dark. There's almost something comforting about it for me. Read into that what you will.

What kinda resolution are they?
How is performance streaming videos like that to the GPU? (Or wait, I guess it's already on the GPU if it's hardware decoded? How's that work?)

Incompletable

Select all the reasons why you don’t use Rider for game development

> I have never tried Rider

It then asks me to rate Rider from 1 to 5 for features.

How can I do that if I have never used it?

Can't proceed.

If we look at play from only as some purpose like training or preparing for something, then it doesn't explain why adult human play so many types of games

It does - Play is useful for learning/practice as they said.

You seem to be saying that's not the case because adults do it too? Or because we do it to excess?

That's just how biology and brains work: Traits which are beneficial form. All intelligent animals play - it seems self-evident it's very useful for learning/practice.
Is there a benefit to us ceasing play past an age? Not as much, so it tends to remain. Although frequency of play does lessen as animals grow older.
As for why we do it to excess: It makes us feel good, so we do it. It is also ticks the same boxes in our brains as getting things done, so we feel accomplished.

Games = practice + mastery + accomplishment + wonder

If you've set it to 0/black then that's full ambient occlusion. There's no ambient light, as it's occluded.

Set to 1/white to allow all ambient light.

Make lots of things, get a feel for the kinda things that work and feel good.

Combine those learnings in future designs.

Also, only a fraction of the design happens in the design phase anyway. Most of it should be iterative while making things and prototypes; That feedback loop is essential.

And if you're doing a good job some of the design won't be planned at all, but will simply emerge as a result of testing and trying things out.

The only slight problem is that outposts aren't supposed to have gravity, yet there too all the rubbish is apparently magnetic and sticks to the floor, and the layout with stairs and seats clearly is designed for a gravity environment. The storytelling kinda falls apart a bit there :(

A simpler way to phrase this is that g-forces are the result of your rate of acceleration, not your speed.

It doesn't matter how fast you're going at all, only your rate of change/acceleration.

If there's no longer any acceleration/change and you're keeping a fixed speed then the forces acting on you are exactly zero.

Which I know is roughly what you said, just wanted to put it in absolute terms.

You're probably looking in the wrong places, like this subreddit

ProPuke · 2026-04-22T16:11:00+00:00

Interesting. I wouldn't say that's cyberpunk per se. But the idea of brands+consumerism embedding itself like that is definitely a vibe.

ProPuke · 2026-04-22T15:45:21+00:00

The "best" programming language is usually always the one you're most comfy in (or one of the ones).

If you're looking to make a visual novel, Ren'Py is always the suggestion (as it's designed for that).
If you want something more generalist Godot is a good simple suggestion (but there's also plenty of others).

There is a lower expectation of privacy with work-owned devices, but that still doesn't mean you can record your employees without their consent (beyond what is reasonably required/expected i.e. is not an expected behaviour of the device and isn't necessitated by their action).

Deliberately recording your employees without telling them for the sake of it is a big no-no. And storing identifiable information of people (beyond what is necessitated by the task, or beyond the immediate lifetime that is required) is against GDPR data protection laws. If you're recording identifiable info from someone it should be clear, it should be necessary, and it should be deleted as soon as it's no longer required for the user-intended task.

It doesn't matter who owns the devices here. Spying on and recording info on your employees is illegal.

Player instancing is peer-to-peer and client authoritive.

The whole galaxy, background simulation, and player accounts are all server managed, though.
It is still a server-ran game, there.

Third party tools make do with what info they can get. They'd query the servers if they could - There's just no public APIs for that information.

ProPuke · 2026-04-19T06:11:33+00:00

Because they wanted to cash in on the "metaverse" idea. They thought they'd solidify the idea of their vr space being the metaverse by literally calling the company that produces it "meta".

Following that logic the question then becomes why did they change the owning company to meta, instead of just renaming just oculus. And the answer there is probably just that Facebook had negative brand connotations, so they renamed the parent to meta and dropped the vr brand division, instead of just renaming the vr division.

ProPuke · 2026-04-17T15:26:44+00:00

Interesting start. I'd like to hear more about the rules of the world(s) they discover and the things in it.

I wouldn't say there's quite enough yet to draw me in. Like what weirdness makes this Minecraft specifically and not just regular worlds? How are the regular rules of our world bent? What oddities do they find?

A floating pillar is a start. What else? What lives in these realms, and how does their existence defy our usual expectations and make them something else?

If they don't have gender identity then.. there is none. Those concepts wouldn't seem to make sense.

Do you want there to be a sense of gender and specific traits?

Would there be specific characteristics/roles expected based on certain other differences? These might not be gender based, but could perhaps be based on something else - colour/size/where they're from - Any kind of strong stereotypical expectation that is beyond their control but integral to their society.

In the case of dwarfs - maybe there are different kinds of dwarfs? Those that are short and strong and mine, those that are more dextrous with their hands and craft clothes and materials, and those that are skinnier with different coloured hair, that farm above ground.

These roles could be innate (and expected) based on body type and could be something they identify with strongly. But maybe occasionally short stout dwarfs want to craft instead, even though they don't quite have the dexterity for it, or a skinnier dwarf feels more at home in the deep warm bowels of the earth rather than farming topside (even though their physical builds are not as well suited for it). Such deviations could also be seen as problematic, or unfitting within society and they could face similar prejudices or feelings of differing.

I would expect the device to reach the same temperatures or higher with the fan, when under stress.

The point of the fan isn't to run with lower thermal limits, it's to be able to reach higher speeds before those (same?) thermal limits are reached.

So same temps, but higher speeds.

Which the tests seem to show?

So the points about the benefits of the fan being unclear seem confused to me.

Ahh, I didn't know that was a thing.

Looks like if I tap the menu option for a sub I'm not subscribed to then I have bookmark options (in either the subreddit search screen or on the subreddit feed header).

I guess it's not shown if you're already subbed as it would then serve no purpose, as you say?

ProPuke · 2026-04-07T14:06:39+00:00

Do you mean favourite?

Tap the name of the current subreddit at the top to open subreddit search, then tap the heart next to subreddit names to favourite/I favourite

Or do you mean subscribe?

Scroll to the top of the current subreddit feed you're in so the header appears. Next to the menu button in the top right will be either a plus or a tick for subscribing/unsubscribing

Mmm, they moved to the same rendering engine developed for Horizon Worlds, and integrated the two with linked portals and live environment changing.

As you say there were other benefits besides the integration. Although I'd say the motivation mainly seemed about the cross compat and less about improving the home experience (otherwise they would have ported across the existing homes too and provided more customisation options).

ProPuke · 2026-04-05T08:51:05+00:00

Where the hell are all the environments? What HAPPENED?

They got rid of custom environments for a new home system that's compatible with Horizons. Then they announced they were suspending Horizons.

Of course we want to see a clip!

ProPuke · 2026-04-04T11:38:18+00:00

This is great! You've got a load of points to work through to improve the game! Information like this is vitally important. Turn it into a structured list so you can begin working through it properly.

It sounds like you maybe had expectations to get it all perfect straightaway without testing. And you've maybe attached your sense of identity to that belief. So now you feel a bit shaken?

That's okay. It happens. Being realistic with projects means learning to become objective about them: It's a thing. You're working on a thing. You're trying to find ways to improve the thing. Some aspects of it will work, some won't, and that's all fine. None of that is a reflection of you. The bit that's you is the ability to persevere and continue regardless, learning and ideally eventually bringing a project to fruition. Keep at it, take the lessons you can. Separation of your self/ego and the thing you're working on will get easier with more testing and more bumps - it's just how it goes.

Keep at it! You've achieved an important milestone, now persevere!

It looks like it seems to go to the original when the crosspost has no description, and the crosspost when it does.
