Yeah :) Made of wood, tape, spit and dreams. There’s a dedicated project page if this is of interest for you: https://simpit.dev/ (there are also links to YT and whatever)

Guess what’s sitting on my desktop 🤪

I’ve VF-1 at home 🤓

Got a new hoodie last year and was surprised meeting someone a week later who even knew what Macross is.

(I know it says Robotech on the top; it’s fan art and there is simply zero official merch available at my place at all so I take what I can get)

OpenTrack is alright :) The trick is to get it to play nice with Proton. I’ve some scribbles ott here: https://simpit.dev/systems/opentrack/

I also was with the closed beta of the Linux native version of the Beam Eyetracker, which is kinda rad if you just have a webcam/smartphone cam and want to get some experience without investing into more expensive hardware. It utilizes the same mechanisms under the hood but comes with a fancy GUI and a setup wizard so that is really smooth sailing for newcomers.

Nothing stopping you from making your own tracker with cardboard and a bunch of IR LED tho. Been there :)

by how many more people

Sysadmin here. Forget about it. People are a drop in the ocean on website requests nowadays. Anything is getting hammered all day long already by legions of bots. Mostly scrapers and many more bad actors. The numbers are staggering - one could simply not compete by hammering F5 for refresh any more.

People? Hah. We’ll all have agents for that soon whether we like it or not.

I hate this timeline. So much.

Reminds me of the day we were sitting in a reenactment camp at morning next to a church with a wedding going on. Their photographer had the bright idea to let the pair pose in our camp. They asked permission so that was fine.

So they sat down at our breakfast table (with all the clutter still around) and the photographer asked them to pick up our mugs to pose with them and of course they started slamming together the mugs just as you may know this from exaggerated Hollywood scenes.

These mugs were not empty and had mostly coffee and tea in them from our breakfast.

The rest was a lesson in physics 🤷

Same here :D

Thanks for posting this. I mean technically it is a DIY simpit and I absolutely enjoy crazy stuff like this 🤓

Out of arguments, I see. So let’s discredited the other person’s accountability *slowclap

Powerful green lasers do not come with a common newspaper subscription and their shipping boxes are covered in warning labels.

This was a deliberate choice to do wrong.

You can select a face and make changes to it like a sketch. So push pull twist, or if you select a vertices you can chamfer or filet.

Think this is the part I’m missing - as in I didn’t find the option yet. For this particular case I want to increase the height of the selected part face.

Thanks for the detailed explanation!

Hm, nope, not getting it :( If I can extrude edges, or use that fase feature, it should also be possible to define the resulting lengths of the operation too, no?

I do not need this to scale later on.

Bringing Blender into this is total overkill for “I just want to set that inner height”, no?

German saying: “Sind die Glocken länger als das Seil beginnt des Lebens zweiter Teil.”

Roughly translates to if the bells are longer than the rope, the second part of life begins.

Yes Sir, Captain Tight Pants, Sir :)

I really have to give this a try. It may sound odd but I never tried changing the ingame HUD before. This is odd because I built a full blown cockpit for my space trucking fix 🤓

Little click-baity that one. “New”? “Discovered”?

ED players are all over the journal files for years creating various companion apps and meta. Heck there’s a market connector to get “realtime” access to galactic markets running entirely “next to” the game.

Love the ED community for their creativity 🤘

The Always On pest is nowadays also in bicycles, e.g. the e-systems by Bosch.

• me, who just wants this thing to commute, is very unhappy about that trend

Love how you’re growing your next pit bit by bit :D

Guess I really did forget about posting this here too xD

Playing for a while now and yes this is gorgeous and I love that I can experience my childhood memories again :D
