I got my Virtual Boy accessories for my Nintendo Switch today, so you better believe I spent the night playing Teleroboxer, 1995’s hottest 3D game about VR-teleoperated robot boxing!

On visionOS 26.3 Beta, ok there is ray casting targeting with PS VR 2 Controllers in the Accessibility setting I have never seen before. It says Index Finger but it is smoother with the PS VR controller and I think it remaps to it. I swear their accessibility team is amazing.

Final Fantasy XI New Year's post is full of plans for 2026 that give me a lot of hope for the game's longevity. Trust upgrades, consolidating some confusing teleport systems, and the start of a story replay system like XIV's NG+

Story replay feature

We plan to implement a feature that lets you replay the story missions from each nation that serve as the starting point for your adventures. You will be able to play up to rank 10 without having to create a new character. The conditional branching based on your gameplay status at any given time is highly complex, so this feature is going to take a lot of time and patience to complete. We'll also need to be extra diligent in regards to introducing new bugs while working on the content. However, we feel that this feature will allow you to relive your favorite stories, make new discoveries, and also deepen your appreciation of Vana'diel, so we are also considering offering some kind of reward for utilizing this feature.

Stat upgrade system (tentative name)
We will be implementing a new system that lets you upgrade the alter egos' stats. It works by allowing you to spend upgrade points, which you can earn through everyday activities during your adventures. These points can be used to strengthen your alter egos overall, thereby raising their basic stats. We're currently hard at work on this feature with the goal of releasing it in March 2026!

・Alter ego equipment system (tentative name)
We plan to add a feature that enables you to utilize dedicated equipment for your alter egos, kind of like how the puppetmaster attachments work. The plan is to make the equipment obtainable even when playing solo, and we are also looking into the possibility of using some existing content and crafting systems.

Integration of the home point and survival guide systems
Currently, there are several NPCs that allow you to teleport, but we feel that it's too difficult in the game to know which NPCs can teleport you to which destinations. In order to fix this problem, we're currently looking to see if we can't combine at least some of the portals. Our first step will be to start with something fairly simple: merging the teleportation function of the home point and the survival guide features.

・Improved character growth guidance
Immediately after creating a new character, you can use the auto acceptance function of the Records of Eminence objectives in order to view a guide of the minimum necessary steps to develop your character. Our plan is to create a system that will merge both new and existing goals into a single path, and inform you of any subsequent steps that you should take.

Improvements to the development and admin environment

Although this likely does not concern any of you directly, we have discovered numerous items that need to either be created or fixed as quickly as possible in order to ensure that the game continues to operate smoothly. Of these, discontinued support for older technologies due to OS version upgrades as well as the rapid introduction of more advanced technologies will make it difficult to keep Vana'diel up and running as time goes on. Therefore, we are giving priority to the following measures.

・An update that fixes an issue that could prevent the PlayOnline Viewer from running properly under certain conditions.
・Removing certain essential hardware from the development environment.
・Improvements to the tools used to manage the various resources that make up the game.

In order to minimize the risk of service disruptions, we have postponed some UI-related quality-of-life features, such as the ability to register blue magic sets and adjustments to the Assist Channel. We appreciate your understanding regarding this matter.

While fixing bugs for #picotron 0.2.2 I ended up yak-shaving quite far into future features, so here's what native window exports look like. tldr: export -n foo.bin to get a binary that runs as an arbitrary sized window directly on the host desktop.

I had the best time in Akiba this weekend catching up with my old friend from elementary school! We went to the Wizardry pop-up event and museum, saw Steins;Gate 15th Anniversary merch pop-up, had the best Japanese curry of my life, and across from it, found the best store in Akiba for VR gear!

Gotta Drink ‘Em All! At Cafe La Siesta, there are 12 special drinks called the Cocktail Monsters. When you order a drink named after a monster, you get a matching badge. You pin the badges on a matching Cocktail Monsters tote bag. Across 6 months and 4 trips to Kyoto, I’ve finally drank them all!

I love Maren Mazesoba. I’ve been here more than anywhere else in Japan. Mazesoba is a dish of lukewarm toppings on a bed of hot noodles covered in a delicious sauce instead of a broth. And when you’re out of noodles, you toss rice into the sauce for a risotto-like dish.

Made a quick switch system for my DOF Reality P3 Sim rig. Allows switching from driving to flying in the length of a Bluesky video. 🚗✈️ Driving pedals aren't ideal for flying but the Logitech Pro pedals are configured for even tension on both sides, so it's not too bad.

It’s documented that Japanese counters (various words used to count different things) are pretty crazy, but the thing I’m having the most trouble wrapping my head around is 100,000. They don’t say “one hundred thousand” they say “ten ten thousands”.

Today I tried tantanmen (タンタンメン) for the first time. This cousin of ramen (the name is actually short for tan tan ramen) is a flavorful soup with ramen noodles, what felt like half a dozen eggs, at least a half pound of cheese, all soaked in a delicious chili broth. Strongly recommend!
