In theory yes. The Mac version is just a remote desktop solution, no VR so a game like Civ where you can do everything with the mouse should be doable. Not sure if using a gamepad connected to the headset would work as that’s a few extra layers of complexity… but not a real concern for Civ, am I right? XD

AFTER it went viral, not when they got notified that there was a problem. Fuckups are to be expected, we’re all human… it’s how they’re handled that matters.

Yeah, Nvidia and Linux drivers are a bad combo. I’ve been pretty much using GeForce since the first one, because notoriously the ATI/AMD drivers were not great. Then I switched to Linux and surprise! Sometimes when they update they’re so bad the entire OS stutters. Needless to say, I have an AMD one now… (and can vouch for ALVR! Not as polished as Virtual Desktop, but works great)

Yeah, it’s not a sudden thing: I believe it takes a few days just to have a noticeable impact. It’s just that my Deck lives on the dock for most of the time XD

What I’m describing is really nasty, as you think the battery is let’s say at 95% and you unplug it to be used as ha handheld. It’s updating a few games and you turn around, do something else… then check back on the updates and the Deck is off because it ran out of battery in a couple of minutes. I don’t think it’s good for the battery to be drained that much

I have a few examples that I hope retain their metadata.

Seed mode is… basically, I stopped using Automatic1111 a long time ago and kinda lost track of what goes on there but in the app I use (Draw Things) there’s a seed mode called Scale Alike. Could be exclusive, could be the standard everywhere for what I know. It does what it says, changing resolution will keep things looking close enough.

Edit: obviously at some point they had to lose the bloody metadata….

Oh yeah, new tech is cool and potentially useful. My point was that this particular excitement is not too likely to improve anything on the current hardware we have.

It’s early access so at least it’s understandable things might change, but hot damn lol

If it’s colored, it’s bad. I have a lovely purple GITD pla that even had a warning about the purple one not being that much glowy, it still surprised me. Very short time, very dim even if charged with a UV light… I like the color so all in all no big deal, but wow. Speaking of the suggestion of using UV reactive filament (light that, by the way, would keep the GITD ones glowing) some colors just look bright even without needing to be special. For example I have a bright green PETG that pops with UV light.

It’s a very, very intentional move: you must link a Microsoft account to play, but it’s a “different account” so no transfer of saves. So different that it will remember all your records, will show races as already done (lots of fun figuring out what you still need to do), you can edit tunes previously shared (can’t edit them unless they’re yours) and if you want to try and launch both versions of the game it will complain about being already logged in on a different machine.

I can only see the Dalek being reeeally pissed off, all “EXTERMINATE!” lol

LESS THAN 7 SECONDS??? Holy cow, my 3060 takes 4... this is optimization sorcery.
