Not actually "ready" yet, just testing to make sure I have the colours right for the glow effect to make it look like there's a dot-matrix LED display in this thing. ;)

All this work on a new model and tool just to rotate textures on walls and floors and stuff. :P
I thought about incorporating texture rotation into the Creation Tool in Project AB, but there's a number of reasons why it made more sense to put that functionality into a separate tool. :B

I hate when people get tricked into doing stupid stuff like this! NEVER EVER use a video game grading company to seal new consoles that include batteries. You're basically locking a battery inside a sealed plastic coffin that will either expand, leak, or explode. Beyond incredibly dumb. 🤦♂️

Random Fan: Hey, Kris, why don't you do Discord?
Me: *motions at the FIVE different Discord accounts which have been hacked in just the past week which I was made aware of without even having to use Discord*
There's a ton of other reasons too but that's kind of a big one. :P

New video uploaded and ready to watch! This one goes over something I've noticed in regards to how everyone is engaging with NNRG and BLG compared to Shovelware Diggers prior and maybe by drawing attention to it NNRG and BLG might do better? Only way to know is to try! youtu.be/2JD1OamJSnA

Getting a late start on editing tonight; The NNRG/BLG intermediary video should be up in about an hour or two; It's a very simple one to edit together. :B

BTW: Know that "People also ask" section in Google's search results? It now ONLY shows AI-generated answers to the questions posed, meaning you can't easily determine where it's getting those answers from, meaning it's almost entirely useless now.
Freaking brilliant. >_<

Just a reminder to everyone that LibreOffice is a thing ( www.libreoffice.org ) or if you want paid/professional software WordPerfect never died ( www.wordperfect.com ) it just sat quietly in the background for everyone who preferred it. :B
Microsoft is so fucking stupid.
Microsoft renamed Microsoft Office to Microsoft 365 Copilot App
I'm not joking

Here are the DOS game trivia quiz questions I made for an event earlier in the month: youtu.be/z3mGQgVXkp8
They are all pre-Wolfenstein-3D, but most have some sort of visual clue to help out.
Let me know your score :-)

Project AB task for today: Adding a VR vignette feature. This blacks out the periphery when smoothly moving to help prevent motion sickness for people who want to use smooth movement instead of teleport movement.
Just finished adding/testing it outside of VR, now to test it in VR! :B

I have had an NES-style high-energy tune stuck in my head since I woke up and I cannot place what game it's in. I've checked all of the NES-style Mega Man games as that was my first thought, games I've played with the same style... I can't figure it out... D:

Been watching old eps of American Gladiators and I think I understand part of why it did so well: The level of sportsmanship on display FAR EXCEEDS what I remember most sports on 80s/90s TV to be. Sure there's occasional tussles, but everyone's mostly sharing hugs, fistbumps and shoulder pats. :)

VR teleport controls are now fully functional in Project AB! :D
Because I'm attaching the functionality to the analog sticks though I needed to implement a debounce timer since crossing the deadzone threshold to trigger the teleport sequence isn't always clean. :P

So... I just watched the new Chip & Dale Rescue Rangers movie from 2022 with my sister and nieces, which Disney in their infinite wisdom pretty much ONLY released on streaming as opposed to in theatres, burying it so that hardly anyone knew it existed...
...and it's ACTUALLY GOOD. :O

That is VERY interesting...
So, I'm setting up a fade effect for VR teleport movement in Project AB right now. For those unfamiliar, many VR games which have teleport movement as an option will fade from white or black to reduce disorientation following a teleport.
That's not the interesting part-
