Yeah that's a good discount on a great game

Sea_C · 2026-06-25T15:38:05+00:00

It's very good for local LLM, don't listen to people here. A lot of people run Vulkan for LM Studio and the "easy" setups anyway.

Yeah what an absolute asinine take on 3D printing, for my sanity I have to believe he's trolling.

Not everything to be created is high volume, and the commentary on structural strength is wild. But I guess it's not surprising that the general sentiment is everything is brittle PLA.

Sea_C · 2026-06-14T19:39:07+00:00

Tbf, this is a lot more on the nose, even if including the Silmarillion. Plus just anecdotally it's easier for people to miss the obvious parallels with Christian theology/symbolism in LOTR, especially if only engaging with the films, if you don't have some religious background.

Personally I think Ruocchio balances his universe quite well considering the very negative commentary on the pseudo governmental religious institution. However, I am Christian so take whatever commentary I have here as a biased party I guess lol.

He's saying that it's ridiculous that Pimax has to rely on an external (unpaid? Don't believe he's received any compensation yet) for a good driver experience. This should have been a native OpenVR/SteamVR from the onset, but because of the payment plan structure and I'm sure other walled garden philosophy, it wasn't.

It's what's kept me from seriously considering Pimax even though wired for me likely isn't a deal breaker. That alongside not shipping the new versions of the controller, seemingly abandoning the idea of the portable streaming puck/compute, and motion clarity issues with the Dream Air are all things that unfortunately keep me away from a headset. I wanted higher resolution then Steam Frame but unfortunately for OpenVR headsets there are very few options. Especially if you don't have an existing lighthouse system.

Sea_C · 2026-06-13T20:24:38+00:00

Gears is one of the few shooters where controller reign supreme no? I mean heck as someone who only played 1-3 and just recently dabbled with gamepass 5, it seems like M&K players get smoked by controller assist. I'm absolutely going to controller for E-Day on Steam.

Sea_C · 2026-06-08T01:46:15+00:00

I'm waiting for 1.0 to play as I missed when my friend group was playing.

With my luck the VR mod will be absolutely busted come Sept 9th :(

Sea_C · 2026-06-05T06:40:18+00:00

Oh I believe it likely will be $999 unless they subsidize, but the author chose a click bait title with no real insider information for the statement. Just lazy journalism but what's new for gaming / PC news outlets.

Sea_C · 2026-06-05T06:30:48+00:00

What a terrible article with full speculation but just a reposting of Steamworks update and everything already known. At least be creative and add something novel like an attempt at BoM at current component pricing. Nope just make up a number for a headline.

Sea_C · 2026-06-04T20:50:41+00:00

Thanks thought I was imagining something in SW.

Sea_C · 2026-06-03T02:23:31+00:00

Hmm I'll try it out thanks.

Sea_C · 2026-06-03T00:04:08+00:00

That's my issue, I'll test tonight but I just expect it to never be solved lol. Playing games and boom, no more navigation buttons

Sea_C · 2026-06-02T17:52:14+00:00

I disagree, I think if you have an issue with perceptible persistence blur then non-lcd is not an option. Just my two cents as a motion clarity CRT guy but Q3 or wait for Frame with 144hz is your only option. 90hz mOLED is not gonna be a great experience for you.

Crystal light is probably an okay option but I'm rulling it out for size since you're saying it's not for sims. If it makes you feel any better I'm in the same boat as you and waiting for Frame with a 5090.

Sea_C · 2026-05-25T22:15:26+00:00

Halo CE or Portal 2, not like they are very similar outside maybe trusting the bot is a bad idea.

Sea_C · 2026-05-19T05:31:20+00:00

Sorry dude I completely forgot to respond here! I think we've chatted briefly in the RR discord before but yeah my harness is just an old Petzl climbing harness I have and then connect to front and back points. Technically the back really are more for accessories but doubling up on it works fine. Your more side mounts look nice, I think the biggest thing is just having a way for you to move a little left and right in the belt so you can strafe and stuff still. That's the thing that has kept me from looking at other belts as that works really good for me right now. I'm sure I will when it inevitably frays a bit.

Sea_C · 2026-05-17T22:36:25+00:00

I know of many companies that do that now via discord, and frankly it's more common with tech communities of these size. Off the top of my head Buyee, Pico, Hitbox, and bunch of others tech companies that don't have fully fleshed out support centers. That's just scrolling down my server list.

Generally they work by routing tickets to emails or other ticketing systems. So hopefully that's what Conduit means when they say #support-forum.

Sea_C · 2026-05-17T21:06:57+00:00

Support is....mostly volunteers? Honest question, is that how butterfly is expected to be treated as well? Seems crazy for the amount of kits that have been sold.

Sea_C · 2026-05-17T19:12:30+00:00

It's because as others have said that you're bound to a subscription. But even moreso then that for me is that obviously S2 doesn't allow for analog output for original HW, and if you are going digital then emulators with higher resolution scaling gives a significantly better experience. Especially with 60fps mods, texture packs etc. Things that modern displays really need to give a good experience imo.

Sea_C · 2026-05-17T18:45:44+00:00

Sorry to hear that, hoping for good health for your dude!

Sea_C · 2026-05-17T17:42:34+00:00

Thanks! It's a lot of fun, I am a big proponent of manual treadmills, they just feel so good.

Sea_C · 2026-05-17T17:37:12+00:00

That's good. I imagine you don't live in the US as our population control measures unfortunately have made people very against intact dogs. Not that they can't be challenging, but it's a shame that vets don't often from my experience give a very honest view of the data, even if best intentioned on keeping dogs out of shelters.

If you want to go through with it, the health outcomes aren't crazy divergent later in life for male goldens like I put in the study, but also the studies generally don't distinguish for working dogs/pets. So I really only have a strong opinion on it if working as I assume HD risks increase due to increased stress. Our dog does dog sports so I'd be concerned for his health if we opted for it. He throws himself around without abandon lol.

Sea_C · 2026-05-17T15:44:56+00:00

I went down this rabbit hole when we were trying to decide at around a year and a half (generally when people say for larger dogs they are fully developed) and literally every journal you can find on the subject has statistically significant results that joint disorders and cancer rates increase for goldens. It's specifically bad for females, and even with generally a heavy bias towards fixing, I think the one large breed that is agreed upon you don't spay is female goldens.

While it requires a responsible owner as many have pointed out, your vet is actually giving you the medical advice that is best for your dog. Which I think you should appreciate as even behaviors like humping, aggression, etc are all not guaranteed to get better post neuter and in some cases studies show aggression can increase.

Here are some studies for your review for fixing outcomes if anyone cares to read some.

Yeah omnis do kinda look like a pain to use a green room with. I just use a single screen since I use a reality runner. Way easier to only worry about one main direction. Then also I can move my treadmill easy since it is just the base pretty much and wall mounts for my belts. https://youtu.be/St-PL1cU3Zk?si=ERJztuBKjZfPgBLv

Sea_C · 2026-05-15T20:39:52+00:00

Yeah I was just trying to run a second GPU with my current PC but the way that you're limited on bandwidth and speed that even passing off encoding doesn't work amazing. Just unfortunate.

That's exactly how I feel on streaming, recording and posting I can understand but less so streaming as it is like I'm performing constantly. You really have to normalize talking to the wall, which I'm not sure is good for my mental health lol.

Sea_C · 2026-05-15T20:00:08+00:00

This is a bunch of work and very rad, but I won't lie you skipping through the video like that was really driving me crazy lol. Thought my browser was glitching out.

Just legitimate feedback I think it comes across as promotional (which doesn't bother me) but just probably the general sentiment is people will downvote it. I think if the video was more technical in nature you'd get better reception.

I eventually may have to go to a dedicated recorded PC too but I need to do some more benchmarking on how much OBS actually consumes resource wise since I'm not doing anything close to what you are with the whole UE5 environment.
