It depends on what you’re going for and how much time you want to spend on it.

If the bunker is far off in the distance from the player and they’re never meant to see it up close, you’re best off making one big 3D object that contains everything.

If you want to be more detailed, like you’re making a VR game and want realistic effects like what you see from Half Life Alyx, you’ll want to take your time and build the bunker into as many small pieces as you can. The player will likely be picking up objects and holding them and examining them, turning it around and looking at all sides. For best results, you’ll want each object to be its own thing built from the ground up.

But it really depends on what you’re aiming for. And Half Life Alyx is actually the exception for VR games. Most use very low quality assets and don’t put too much thought like Valve did. But if that’s what you’re aiming for, that’s your best bet.

It depends on how much time you want to spend, or money if you’re going to pay others to make the assets for you. Most solo devs aren’t putting that much effort or money into their project. A bigger team may do it.

As for the bunker itself, same deal here. Some people will build out the bunker into separate pieces. I’ve done this in some levels where I’ve taken 4 long rectangles to make a room rather than getting a solid rectangle room and then hollowing it out.

It’s upside down, it’s not supposed to be seen that way. Plus it’s obviously a heart with a health meter, even recognizable while upside down. It’s also made for kids who should be innocent enough not to have minds to recognize that sort of stuff. And it was $1, so you can’t expect the best quality or thought placed into every area and how things might appear to redesign. It’s most likely made in a sweat shop by kids in some south Eastern Asian country.

I’m not sure what’s mildly infuriating? It’s not like someone intentionally designed it that way.

Edit: I’d consider the last part about kids making them to be the mildly infuriating part, obviously, but what isn’t nowadays to warrant it for these specific sandals, is my question

They mention these may not work and a solution

It looks like they’re no longer updating it and directing people to Lemon now over at Link: lemon-manuals.la or lemon-manuals.org.ua

Your laptop should be fine, but I imagine it’ll be super slow to charge. You probably won’t see it increase if playing and it’ll take hours to fully charge if you’re not actively using the Switch.

If you get a reputable brand of like 20W or above, maybe even 40W would be more ideal. But I don’t think you’d damage your Switch charging off the laptop. Just a slow charge.

I’ve done it tons of times with my Switch 1 and various cables. The thing is to make sure the cable is of decent quality. I never use cheap cables I get with like cheap electronics, like if you get some cheap headphones from your local dollar store, do not use those. But something like a cable you get from Apple or Samsung or Google with your phone or tablet or a cable from a reputable brand should usually be okay.

Would be wise to also be aware what kind of power source like the brick you’re using to the wall as well as the cable. Again, I’d never use a cheap brick I got with my dollar store headphones, but I’d use something with some decent juice and a decent brand like the power brick that came with my Steam Deck.

Plex was good for music for me until it started acting weirdly a few months ago. It started scanning my library nonstop and running my hard drives on full speed for days before I eventually caught it.

I was told it was the agent from Plex but changing that out didn’t fix the issue so I moved my stuff off there and have been working with Navidrome instead.

I have tried it but having Plex handle the out-of-home routing for me securely is a great feature Jellyfin doesn’t have but doesn’t for obvious reasons and I justify that as why I pay Plex. I have thoughts and better knowledge now about how to properly implement it, but I’m not sure I want to rebuild my current setup that just works with very minimal upkeep.

That and I am on someone else’s Plex server who updates it much more than I do. Mine just supplements theirs with stuff they don’t have and one-offs I’ve wanted and found. I’d still be using Plex even if I did rebuild with Jellyfin today.

But if these price increases keep coming, I may make the switch. It’s tempting to shell out the money for the lifetime membership, but I don’t have faith in companies, including Plex, to keep up their end of the deal on these things.

Depends on who you ask, but I think the biggest reasons:

• they seem to have contributed to making people dumber indirectly. You see a lot of street videos of people asking questions like where is this state or that country and they can’t answer those questions but they can tell you almost anything about the Kardashians. Because of that, some people hate the Kardashians.
• they’re rich and have no worries. On one hand, you have some people who hate for jealousy and others who think it’s gross how rich these people are.
• the reason why they’re famous. On the one hand, the late father was one of the lawyers in the OJ Simpson case, but the real reason for their more recent fame comes from Kim doing a sex tape and getting famous off that. To some people, that’s gross and a stupid reason to be famous compared to someone else who finds a cure or does work in the community or just someone who actually worked for their fame like a movie star or famous writer.
• the Kardashians are kind of a nasty bunch of divas. I mean, if you have seen some of the clips, you can see that most of them are not really good people who care about other people but themselves and their fame. And the people they’re connected to aren’t the greatest people either which speaks more about who they are as a family.
• they come off as stupid. Not as an insult, but legitimately dumb with some of the things they have said or done and that pisses some people off. If you watched someone have a hard time finding a word as common as “the” or determine what 2+2 is and felt some type of anger, that’s what some people feel towards them for some of the stupidity they’ve seen from the family.
• the fact that they are famous at all. To some people, it pisses them off that the Kardashians get a spotlight at all.
• scandals. Caitlyn Jenner is an extension of the family but the accident and death resulting from it and barely a slap on the wrist is worth hatred from some people. Scandals like those are among the family. You also have conspiracy theories like what happened to Lamar Odom’s death and some thinking they had something to do with it.

A whole lot of possible reasons depending on who you talk to.

Mac still has it. You may have to specifically enable it but my MacBook has it (just got a new M5 2026 model MacBook Pro a few weeks ago that does it when I turn it on; I restored from a Time Machine backup so it may have carried over from my previous MacBook). In Windows, on Windows 10 and 11, you had to enable it too. I used to enable it because I enjoyed hearing it on start.

Which is funny because I do use Mint and can confirm that one has it too because I hear it when turning on my gaming PC.

I had the same “problem” and I’ve learned to just ignore those people. We were just being bored/curious which is natural for humans.

I think it’s older generations who were abused and trying to pass that off onto us as well.

Which is funny because staring at someone is rude. So either you be rude and stare at someone or you stare off into the void and let your mind wander.

I still do it. I don’t give a fuck.

Well he’s wrong because all console games eventually come to PC one way or another. He’s just ensuring they won’t be coming first under their control.

My cat loves these videos. I put them on when he comes around and starts watching my stuff.

I hear a lot of good things about Tainted Grail: The Fall of Avalon. I have yet to really play it but it does have that feel to it form what little I played.

The first one was weird with VR because it worked very well at first and then broke later in its release. I was using a Windows MR headset which wasn’t officially supported but it worked, and their responses to players like me was “well it’s not supported so, tough luck.”

But like…it worked. Why not try to figure out what changed to break it?

But even last time I tried with my Meta headset, which I think should be supported, it’s the same behavior where it’s like you’re floating above the menu and you can’t actually play the game.

I made this change like back in December or so. I had been distro hopping since moving to Linux in August of last year and was on a ton of distros with KDE that all had Wayland.

I moved to Mint Cinnamon because it seemed to be one of the few that wasn’t using Wayland and my issues stopped. I believe they did have experimental Wayland on one of the versions and I made sure not to use that one since I was under the impression it was due to Wayland and remember trying to decide between the other options they had.

Cachy kept freezing on me as did many other distros I was using. I found the common reason was due to Wayland and I’ve been on Linux Mint Cinnamon ever since with no issues like that. RTX 4080 Super

The Steam Frame has a good chance of changing that like the Steam Deck did for handheld computer gaming. Partly because it bridges the gap between PC gaming and handheld gaming because the early Rift and Vive were strictly PC based which excluded people who didn’t have the best gaming rigs and these headsets weren’t cheap either. And then Meta comes along as does Pico but they focus on handheld gaming which is cheaper but doesn’t allow the best graphics or long term games, more mobile style games than anything else.

But the Steam Frame has a chance to make a better bridge between the two since it is a PC at its core and runs Linux and doesn’t need a dedicated PC to play games.

I’m optimistic, anyway.

Not quite yet. He’s basically said he’s ready to back a legal challenge to it.

Louis is encouraging someone to keep doing what they’re doing despite Bambu sending someone a cease and desist and Louis will provide some funding for legal support if Bambu keeps pushing. But there isn’t anything going directly after them yet.
