  • Yeah, very much looking forward to headsets with 8k panels. Most are up to 4k now, and it’s getting pretty good. If it stays at 4k for a bit, that would be fine. But it’s definitely an area where 8k will still be a very noticeable upgrade.

    Even if the only short-term practical use for an 8k panel is how far away a 4k or 1080p screen would be clear to read in an augmented reality situation, that would be reason enough. But I personally will gladly lower quality settings to run VR games in 8k instead of 4k as well.



  • Probably something like this. Except not trained to be a rebellious troll. Part of her training set is his chat, hehe. Though despite this one being “evil” neuro, I think normal neurosama is more of a troll now, lol.

    This is clipped segments from a live stream, so it jumps ahead at times. It has links to the source channel if you would prefer a full video. This one is probably already too long for most people though.

    He does end up figuring out why she has so much trouble correctly inserting code in the right places later.

    Edit: also, everytime she says “filtered”, it means whatever she was gonna say would have broken youtube or twitch rules. He has two filters, one on the text generated and one on the text to speech. If the text one catches it, it just outputs filtered instead, if the speech one catches it, she’ll still type something terrible, but only say roughly the first syllable or 2 before the speech is cut off.






  • You can either embrace the ADHD, or fight it. Ultimately which you prefer is up to you and your individual situation. The downside of embracing it is for sure gonna be financial, the downside of fighting it is gonna be emotional/mental anguish.

    Having a new hobby every month can be fine if you know it’s gonna be the thing. Don’t invest too heavily even if it “really feels like this is finally the one”. Or, you can focus on a hobby that does constantly change, videogaming is of course one example. The other thing is, you may develop the ability to steer your interest back to previous hobbies. Just know that there is a bit of a wall to climb to get back into a hobby you dropped, it’s gonna feel a whole lot taller of a wall than it really is but a little push can be enough to clear it without burning out.

    Edit: joining a social community for each hobby is a good way to naturally swing your interest back to it every now and then.





  • Could sort of be described that way. But they basically just shape the sound in a way that your ear hears it with the specific acoustic distortion that normally cues your brain that the sound came from behind you. Or wherever.

    So in the sense that a hologram is using different properties of shaping light to trick your eyes that something looks different than it really does, then yeah, audio hologram sort of fits. And similarly, it only works if your ears are exactly where they expect them to be, just like a hologram with your eyes.

    While you should never do it in public, those phones with the virtual 3d sound field speakers are starting to get pretty decent to listen to music on. Still, never listen at higher volumes, cuz that breaks it. But it’s pretty awesome for any volume level where it can manage the right level of base for the song.

    Specifically what it’s doing is making it so each ear only hears the part that is meant for it, and doesn’t get the bleed over from the other speaker. Virtual stereo isolation, the Switch 2 also does it in standalone mode. But yeah, of course, that only works for the primary user, anyone in the wrong physical location relative to the speakers won’t get the effect. And actually it’ll just sound weird to them.



  • It also breaks other stuff like being able to output video to portable video glasses. A relatively niche use now, but something that will pick up considerably over the life of the console.

    Having a floating 4k screen that you can put anywhere at any size is pretty nice. Don’t have to look down at your hands or hold the system up to a comfortable eye line.

    I do hope that at some point they open it up a bit more. And maybe only exclude stuff that would damage the system, which is ostensibly the -given- reason for locking it down. While of course, the real reason is likely a licensing opportunity.

    I do still buy their stuff. But it has been more and more often lately that I buy it and then feel ok about emulating it to add in stuff like 4k 120 fps or VR/stereoscopic or whatever.
