intellectual property implies the existence of intellectual property taxes

30Hz is a worst-case scenario in this case, makes it easier to record. Realistically I'd just want this as a fallback for sporadic frame drops when streaming.

30Hz->90Hz reprojection with Timewarp++, gaze convergence-based scaling (it is LOCKED tf in):

oh my god my Timewarp++ implementation works even better than I thought it would. I fixed the math on my gaze convergence and it's like, bang on (with some filtering).
30Hz->90Hz reprojection with only rotational reprojection (everything is sliding around when moving):

wonder if this means Switch 2 carts will use the T2 security mode as an extra antipiracy upsell for devs, just port to Switch 2 and no more cert copying, no more MIG cart for that game

We need to secretly add prediction to mouse+keyboard PC gaming, imagine the drama

lmfao it also impacts gorilla tag, that's amazing. Every meta devolving into controller overprediction, prediction all the way down.

I always wondered why so many maps went to shit after Quest came out, these songs literally aren't designed to be physically played on wired headsets

oh god even random how-to videos have overprediction, at 4m20s, the controller is jittering like crazy and every swing is like 2x the rotation

Found out today that there's entire Beat Saber map metas which basically rely on rotation overprediction from higher-latency PCVR streaming
...and the IRL gameplay is literally just someone waggling the controller ±10° like a maraca to get massive ±90° swings 🙃

remember to file your taxes today so that if you mess up u can say it was just a funny prank

rip, softbricked it. I flashed a built recovery image over bootslot A and the misc partition has it constantly booting into recovery, and the device doesn't have a vol down button to enter fastboot to swap back to bootslot B

PFD must be doing some Certified Nonsense in LinuxLoader bc swapping back to bootslot-a bootloops, and none of my boot.img builds will fastboot boot. Might have to YOLO flash a recovery.img and hope it doesn't brick lol
The other trouble is the OTAs are delta-only so it's like, do I gamble and dump every partition, or do I play it safe and leave the latest bootslot able to be delta-patched

why do all the Chinese headsets keep doing "dream" branding

if https is so good why is OpenSSL so hard to link to

why is YouTube trying to give their comment section the aesthetic of a dying 2013 vBulletin forum that added in-text ads in a desperate attempt to recapture the AdWords high of years prior
