If you use inside-out #VR / #WindowsMixedReality headsets like @Samsung Odyssey, you'll run into the controllers glitching out when out of view (below or behind your head). In an #UnrealEngine or #Unity game, a workaround is to store the location of the controllers but avoid updating if the location moves too far from the headset (the glitching out when out of view). The rotation of each controller still works as they're based on gyroscopes instead of cameras, so you'll still want to update the rotation, just not the location which is now some absurd unusable number.

In Unreal Engine, it would look like this:


This really should be internalized into the headset driver itself, as it only makes sense to not update to a location that is physically impossible.  For now, you have to do that check yourself.

Another story that came as a dream, ironically as a movie I was watching in the dream.
===============
The movie initially starts as a horror film about boy initially trying to escape the home of a crazed family with a murderous cyborg child.  The home is more or less a cave with no open windows or exit (all boarded up).  The parents are human but very old and clearly insane, sort of like the fake grandparents from The Visit.  The cyborg behaves more like an animal and is Frankenstein-like, with loosely pieced together scrap metal for arms, blades for hands, barely functional prosthetics for what's left of the face (doll-like eyes, unmoving lips, etc), etc.  Often it crawls on all fours or climbs the walls, staying in the shadows.  It is unclear if it was once human at all or entirely machine to begin with.  The pacing and feel is almost like a Saw at first, with no indication how the we arrived here or why things are.

After about halfway...[More]

Not surprised about ETC 51% attack since everything in blockchain is only "statistically impossible" (low odds) instead of true certainty. Expecting more problems like this over time. More surprised some now defend lack of certainty as a feature instead - https://coingape.com/pow-blockchain-secure-post-ethereum-classic-attack/

Recipe for the best smoothie.  Serves 2 16 oz cups; half the amounts for 1 serving.
- 1 frozen Sambazon Acai bar
- 1 cup of frozen blueberries.
- 2 bananas.
- 2 tablespoons of flax oil.
- 2 tablespoons of almond butter.
- 1 tablespoon of hemp protein.
- 1 tablespoon of maca powder.
- 1/4 tablespoon of cinnamon.
- 1 cup of cashew milk.

Surprisingly comfortable ergonomic-wise since everything from the screen position/height and keyboard/mouse are adjustable.  But the screen isn't big enough for me to see without my glasses sadly.

The worst kind of friend or family is someone who tries to tell you it's okay when you've failed and then suggests you just change your dream if it makes you so unhappy.

Finally uploaded pictures I took in Japan and Norway last year.

There's a feeling you get when summer hits and school is out.  When you were younger, it might have been excitement, freedom.  As you got older, it became more an interruption, an emptiness, time crawling by as you waited to see your peers again, an interlude as you waited for the next adventure.  Except... on the 12th time, summer doesn't quite end.  It keeps going, no matter how long you wait.  And at some point, you look back and realize this is the rest of your life.
