Hmm, I updated the BIOS and now opening Unity projects works again. I guess I can cancel the PSU order then? ๐Ÿค”

Wanted to do something in Unity today and while loading the project my PC just completely switches off at some point ๐Ÿ™ƒ No idea what's wrong here, but my first guess is PSU, a component luckily not super overpriced right now.

I feel called out for requesting a Kikyo version in the past, but it's totally understandable and I wouldn't mind paying for a commission every once in a while either :D

I'm probably the last person to figure this out but I can totally see why Virtual Riot was inspired by these sorts of pendulum videos to make his polyrhythms track. No matter how you visualize it, it's always super mesmerizing :D

I went back to the original video and noticed that I made a mistake in my shader. The inner circle should be the fastest, while the outer ones get slower, but on mine it's the other way round, with the innermost one being the slowest. I guess I can call it an artistic reinterpretation :D

It was nice to chat for a bit at Abyss after having only seen you on bluesky before :D

It came to my attention you enjoy the sound of polyrhythms ๐Ÿค”

Looks like my sticker is making the rounds :D

All according to plan ๐Ÿ˜ˆ

I've had problems like this fixed in the past by just contacting the creator (e.g. in twitter DMs or on Discord). And in that case it's also fixed for every past and future buyer.

Haha me neither sadly :D

Or you could add some audio analysis data into the video feed to not be so dependent on the world AudioLink settings ๐Ÿค” Either way, this sounds like a very fun idea.

05.03.2026 17:40 ๐Ÿ‘ 2 ๐Ÿ” 0 ๐Ÿ’ฌ 1 ๐Ÿ“Œ 0

Then in VRC you can read the data from the video texture and incorporate it into a DDR type game.

Sounds like a very fun project to me, which involves machine learning, some tool programming and world development. But sadly I have zero time to work on it :D

Here's the plan: Train a model on public DDR maps. Then write a tool that buffers an audio stream for a second or so, run the model on the most recent chunks to generate a beatmap, encode it into a texture, send it via Spout to OBS and then play the buffered audio in tandem with the beatgrid history

If anyone's up for a fun research project: Take a look at the Dance Dance Convolution paper: arxiv.org/pdf/1703.06891 It describes a CNN that auto generates DDR maps with an apparent context window of 150ms. [..]

Why are all the AI features in messaging apps always completely useless nonsense like "write my message for me" and not something that would actually be somewhat useful like "automatically transcribe voice messages". I really hate these and would love a feature to turn them into text automatically.

So if the "-maxxing" suffix means optimizing an activity and the "-gooning" suffix means losing yourself in an activity, does that mean that recently, in VRChat, people are fishgooning? ๐Ÿค”

Especially since, as a non-DJ, I can't really appreciate a lot of the technical aspects, so I only really have the vibe to work with anyway.

Discord cuts ties with Peter Thiel-backed verification software after its code was found tied to US surveillance efforts | Fortune Discord cut ties with its age-verification partner after exposed code fueled federal-reporting concerns, months after a breach hit 70,000 users.

So now that Discord is cutting ties with Persona after a month or so, is VRChat going to reconsider their partner for age verification as well or nah?

(I also tried using an LV spotlight as a video projector, but ran into the expected problem that you can't project an image against the brightness of the sun :D)

I found some motivation to work on my asteroid world (Club Bennu) again. Remade basically every single material with a different shader to be able to add Light Volume support and also improved the lighting in some other ways. Pretty happy with how this turned out.

Tfw you still have some edge cases to fix in your procedural locomotion system #gamedev

And I don't know if this is common knowledge, but you can actually type math formulas into shader properties, so you can literally type "pi * 0.5" and "10 * 0.5" into the inputs and it will calculate it for you.

I tried to create this effect in poiyomi where Emission Blinking and Center Out lined up. The problem is that "Blink Velocity" and "Center out Flow Speed" are on different timescales. Looking at the shader I found the formula: For speed x put "pi*x" in the blink velocity and "10*x" in the flow speed

I wanna add a pen system to a VRChat world, but there are like 20 different prefabs. Which one is the best one?
