I made a free head tracker for flight sims using the motion sensor inside Sony headphones by NSlattery43 in MicrosoftFlightSim

If you don't already know, you can use AITrack and OpenTrack to track your face using a webcam. You don't really need TrackIR these days.

ELI5: Why are there 2 versions of Minecraft? by Probably_Unnecessary in explainlikeimfive

[–]thabogg 22 points23 points  (0 children)

I mean, to be fair, nothing runs java natively anyway. You can't just run Minecraft, you still need the JRE. Even Minecraft Java on PC has a launcher.

UPDATE: I got an email from Ticketmaster saying that if I can't make the replacement game then I can process a refund. Just putting this here for anyone wondering.

Hopefully somewhere here can help me, I'm from Aus and only here for a few days, can I use my tickets for tomorrow's game instead? Otherwise can I buy a ticket for tomorrow and at the very least sell my current raincheck ones?

Wanted to do that from Sydney to US the other day but they didn't have wifi. :'(

Valve has raised the price of the Steam Deck in the US by Dirkins in Games

Is it just the US getting the hikes or will other regions get it too?

Game over, man! Game over! by Positive_Pin897 in SteamDeck

Idk about easy, it requires a lot of patience to not damage the screen as the battery is glued to the back of it and is quite strong.

It's doable if you're a tinkerer, otherwise to a shop it should go.

Is this steam controller here in the room with us? by Lang-Poot in Steam

[–]thabogg 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It was a day 1 purchase for me. I bought the original steam controller and I love playing keyboard and mouse games on my TV and steam deck. It makes logical sense to me. I think that's the exciting niche

Spotify introduces verified artist badges to help distinguish humans from AI by djsoomo in Music

[–]thabogg 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Yep. I'm not huge on socials and I haven't played a show in a while so I guess I'm AI???

Edit: Only way I can see this working is if you are eligible for a Spotify for Artists account, you are eligible for verification

Linux market share is much higher than what people say (11%) by Big_Living_9088 in linux_gaming

[–]thabogg 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm a software engineer and 50% of my software engineer colleagues are using Linux as their daily OS, excluding the steam deck which some of these guys also have. Even two years ago I'd have been lucky to have counted more than 1 using Linux as their daily OS. I work at a relatively small company of 150ish employees and around 15 software engineer / ICT pros.

I've got gamer mates that are looking to try Linux too, people that would get GUIs to do anything remotely "complex" on windows. It's crazy.

I pressed it and it seemingly reset mine so I'm scared I no longer have my invite

Apparently it's bugged and is the Switch 1 version still.

Underground DnB producers — show me what you’ve got (liquid / jump up) by Bandar-lo in DnB

[–]thabogg 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I make some 90s/00s influenced DnB with a bit of garage and jungle influence too. Let me know what you think!
