Face tracking in vrchat, a year later.

Honestly, it's my favourite feature atm.

The quest, pun intended, to be more expressive in vrchat continues. Face tracking was great, but adding eye tracking has been a hit. It feels like some sort of social tipping point has been reached. Behold, an awkwardly-recorded demo:

My quest 2 battery is nearly dead due to massive overuse, but with the usb-c hub and face tracking camera I get about 3-4 hours. Here's a pic from my initial testing:

Face-tracking in @vrchat is a lot of fun, and easier to set up than I expected.

Hard to believe this store is still up, but here we are in 2023 with full-priced Vita games.

I can't say no to new gaming hardware from Sony. Other than the price, only two back paddles and the reduced battery life... it's very nice and has a good feel. Joystick modules were a good choice in this age of premature stick drift, but making better joysticks would be ideal.

Stick maintenance. It was feeling a bit loose.

Tonight’s project was adding hall-effect sticks to a Steam Deck. Mainly as an excuse to open it up for the first time. It was surprisingly easy to work with compared to console controllers.

Current gen. It’s nice to be able to keep using the series 2 elite.

Last gen’s daily tools. A lot of hours were put into some great games with these two.

I checked out the old psp svn dump I still have and it looks like it was tyranid? He was my first guess in any case. :)

Automated setup for easily serving files to your PS2, and other consoles...

Love this little case for a rpi4 and a laptop-sized hdd. RetroNAS is also a very cool project if you like running older hardware.

I honestly thought this would never get released, but it arrived after all…

This is a useful tool, but I’m still amazed at the lack of on-PS2 utils for dumping my games onto the hdd.

A fresh hdd for the PS2, for completely legitimate purposes.

Gauntlet is not an ergonomic game.

Atari Lynx screen upgrade, a BennVenn IPS R6 kit. It required a small amount of (optional) soldering but was relatively simple to install. Recommended!

Let's have some fun.
