JNot only that, it also accessibility technology. Recently there was a story about how a furry made a device to control their ears just by thinking about it
AIf I buy from Germany I could probably get one for way cheaper
M
Obrainwave scanners really are getting better all the time
AAnything for a hyper realistic furry suite I guess
AThe usual " doesn't exist? Make it yourself" mentality
AAnd they can do it for sure
JI think the story was about the precise motion and accuracy of the ear movements, which was trying to mimic the real dog ears
I maybe wrong, it's been long time since I read it
I maybe wrong, it's been long time since I read it
Ai mean thats humanity for as long as it exist?
VGabe newell either owns or funds a company for it, for VR applications.
Oif you can wiggle your ears you can just put electrodes on those muscles and link their reading to the furry ears
AWhat do you think furries are under the costume lol
AThat's why I said the usual
Qthey're also very creative so that helps them too
Ogod I hope that man doesn't kick the bucket before 100
JWell the tldr is that someone out there is working on accessibility tech with so much passion about realistic ear movements that it's pushing the technology as a whole further
Aif gaben died i dont think even know how game industry will become
JGonna be a sad day really
JI hope steam doesn't become like yet another for profit games company with tight monopoly
AProbably this
Aarent steam kinda for profit and a monopoly
OThat reminds me of how the 3D animation industry was pushed forward leaps and bounds by people wanting to animate Elizabeth from Bioshock, uh, doing things she never did in the game
JI meant, the way ea and Nintendo are doing
JAnd to some extent, epic
Ayeah steam atleast do it the right way
Mthey aren't a public company, so they don't have the reason to milk every single things
Oshareholders ruin everything
AI hope not, ffs, imagine all the DMCA takedowns valve would do if it acted like ninty
JBioshock walked so that overwatch can run 
Obecause by definition as soon as a company has shareholders, maximizing revenue for them becomes the only thing they are legally allowed to focus on
Atbh kinda sad for bioshock creator lol, what does he think when he model elizabeth from his daughter
JNow I feel very very sad
Oclearly nobody told him about the internet
Alike ever heard of r34
JHe probably knew about all of that, he didn't expected it to go that far
JI'm lucky that I got bioshock infinite before I got fast internet, through different means ofc
Ohard to blame him tbh, the ability for basically one person to make such detailed animations practically sprang out of the ether
JTell your mom random internet person said hi
Olike many tools went from not existing at all to fully formed in like a couple years, and suddenly anyone could use them for anything
OI want to compare it to Bazzite or Linux in general but I know that was a much slower process
J
I'll withdraw from discussion of this topicObut from my perspective Linux went from "not even close to ready for normies" to "every normie should use it" in the blink of an eye
AThanks steamos
AFor making history
Oimagine if Windows and Linux were to switch places?
Olike all the normies use Bazzite and professionals use Windows
APlease, I am tired of bullshit copilot
OI mean in terms of market
ASame thing, I want it to happen asap
