i wonder if valve considered a lower ram version of the frame aimed primarily for streaming. dropping the extra 8gb of ram and matching the quest 3 could've made a huge difference

okay it seems to be that if you map a network drive on SMB3, then that host becomes an SMB1-only server, you get random hangs on some IO functions in the SMB kernel driver. awesome!!
windbg output from a kernel dump showing a resource timeout in the function SmbCeWaitForCompletionAndFinalizeExchangeEx in mrxsmb.sys (the kernel SMB driver).

www.digitalfoundry.net/features/por... it's reprojected lol
When it comes to perfomance, Alyx renders at 36fps on Frame and is re-projected upward, but the technique is more sophisticated than a simple timewarp. "We're running at 36fps, but we're using depth reprojection,"

like! yeah don't get me wrong the fact that it's even playable is incredible and a lot of work undoubtedly went into that! but i do wish we had more of a first party title than a low FPS minimal-content-effort port of the same PC game they launched their previous headset with

been wondering for months what sorcery valve would do to get hla running on frame and the answer is apparently it just targets 36fps???? lol

dead display flex, but in the Apple Way it's soldered to the display so requires either superhuman repair skill or replacing the entire top screen which has its own set of issues ughhh and i've only had it for like, a year (bought second hand) ;-;

i don't know if i even have a problem with AI, it's just people not seeming to care about what they're making or publicly putting out anymore that is actually annoying

violet @vi.replika.love · 14/08/2026
local wrap place plastered their walls with AI art that can't quite decide if it's generating beef, chicken or halloumi. a friend messaged me telling me that they were inspired to make their own site after seeing mine, only for it to be classic Claude style that took barely a couple minutes to make

getting so so sick of the constant presence of tacky AI shit everywhere it's just demoralising and i don't know what to do. AI prose is terrible to read and i'm starting to see it affect the way people using it frequently write

violet @vi.replika.love · 14/08/2026
like, all you would need is an abstract along the lines of "we found a flag that lets you change the mapping of CPU 'physical' addresses to actual DRAM addresses and use that to access memory normally inaccessible even to the OS". instead it's two pages of weird ass claude prose

violet @vi.replika.love · 14/08/2026
it's so clearly unreadable AI-speak and i doubt that it was edited or even read over by the author

(from coolant rather than cap explosion I should say). apologies if it comes across as overly concerned, just have had bad experiences with these G5s in particular

violet @vi.replika.love · 08/08/2026
if you are sure, it's just the last couple 2.7s I saw looked fine from the outside but had corroded caps on the CPU cards
100
violet @vi.replika.love · 08/08/2026
please at least try and clean the coolant and corrosion off of the CPU cards! it's so rare to have a 2.7GHz that works, even if the cooling system's non-functional

if 12 years of dipping in and out of vrchat have taught me anything, it's that it is NEVER going to run well. not even 6 years of hardware improvements

violet @vi.replika.love · 30/07/2026
okay this card is insane coming from a 5700xt!! cyberpunk with path tracing on at 1440p60 no problem or 120fps without PT, vr running beautifully with 150% supersampling at 144fps, and it stays dead silent the whole time. then i open fuckin vrchat and it starts screaming and struggling for 30 sigh

do you have a way to find+set good display timings for one of your screens? I have an old Nvidia video card from that era and by default it insists on super weird timings

i can't help but think it's just a way to turn obsidian into what's basically a support studio getting handed other studio IPs while making it more palatable as a PR move

i've been thinking a lot about game editor and scripting stuff lately and how to make it as accessible/fun as possible so it's a very cool thing to explore ...

violet @vi.replika.love · 03/07/2026
honestly, I think you could get away with a super simple stack based bytecode vm implemented for both and a compiler that targets it if it's mostly just calling out to engine code then it seems reasonable to implement HyperTalk seems like a language where most complexity is in the parser

violet @vi.replika.love · 03/07/2026
that's such a cool idea holy. you gotta revive HyperTalk

fwiw this sounds a lot like it's guerrilla games' stuff, which they fortunately made slides public for at www.guerrilla-games.com/read/making-... in case anyone's interested
