I’m a person who tends to program stuff in Godot and also likes to look at clouds. Sometimes they look really spicy outside.

  • Imagine you were certain. THAT would ruin the magic and mystery.

    where is the fun in a predetermined space, without wonder and secrets? I personally find that very boring.

    Your mother may have known exactly what she will hide for the children birthday search quest thing, but you didn’t! And that’s what made it exciting.

    The lack of knowledge, the spicieness the mystery and magic around what it could be!

    That is exactly it.



  • Don’t make it so obvious…

    It’s hard enough to find someone already. Like - ok fine I get it, yes, being a lesbian (or bi) feels like the only way anyway, cuz like yeah, how can you not like girls. I find that somewhat hard to imagine.

    but that turns into a bad thing, because all of a sudden you have all these super pretty girls in the dating space and they are all prettier, smarter and more comfy cozy than you!!! I feel this is especially the case when transfem (but what do i know)









  • naw, have your tried Envision? Just a few months ago I thought the same as you, but ever since I tried Envision, I have not opened SteamVR at all.

    Envision (a foss VR client) works GREAT for VR on linux. In fact, I also have an index, so I can tell you that yes, it works very well.

    I stumbled across this project via the lvra website, which is an amazing forum site about using your VR devices on GNU/Linux. I highly, highly recommend going over there and having a look around. It features guides to many common questions and helped me a ton.

    Envision is really just an interface for monado, which does all the complex VR stuff like tracking and screen distortion.

    Envision let’s you import the VR calibration from SteamVR right into Monados format. It uses a super small part of SteamVR in the background to perform the lighthouse tracking. But it’s very lightweight, especially when compared to SteamVR and Oculus’s VR interface.
    Envision takes no time at all to boot up, it also lets you try out the “survive” lighthouse tracker, which is completely FOSS and doesn’t rely on SteamVR at all besides the calibration data (the tracking quality is noticably worse though and the IPD seems to be off, but give it a try!)

    There are two hurtles to get through tho:

    1. Monado doesn’t come with a “room boundary” system. You have to either move very little, or get yourself another solution for displaying your rooms bounds. Maybe try this one, haven’t tested it yyet though.
    2. Monado does not come with its own “steam vr dashboard”. You have to bring your own. I recommend Wlx-Overlay-S as it works great for PC navigation and allows for very fast playspace-moving and resetting. It also allows for stuff like locking certain windows into your environment, so please give it a try, even if you stick with SteamVR. Envision allows for automatic launching of apps on startup, so I launch wlxoverlay.

    If you have any questions about it, there is a Discord server for linux-specific-vr stuff over on the lvra website.

    TLDR: If you didn’t read any of this, just go to this page and have a look at Envision. There are all sorts of cool linux-specific VR things on there. Their discord helped me lots

    Edit: You can also ask me if I want
