No, this is Patrick

Looks like we’re making a major breakthrough here…

As a little note, the eye tracking would be a huge selling point for social games like VRChat. Very few headsets support it so far.

I would have to go with landmines. If that isn’t enough of a deterrent, and claymores or even some bouncing betties.

Here’s the article: https://www.science.org/content/article/ants-stilts

And here’s what I think is the official scientific paper (says free with login): https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/16809544/

From an article I found online:

A team led by Matthias Wittlinger, a biologist at the University of Ulm, Germany, made modifications to desert ants […]. After setting up an ant home outside the lab, the researchers let 25 ants take a 10-meter trip from their nest, then collected them. For one group, the team glued tiny stilts to the insects’ legs. For another, they clipped the legs down to stumps. And for a control group they left the legs alone. Then the researchers gave each ant a piece of food and set it free. With morsels of food in their jaws, the ants immediately headed home. If desert ants do indeed use an internal pedometer, then the modifications should mess up their calculations.

Not only did the stilted and stumpy ants not make it home, but they also misjudged their distances exactly as the researchers predicted. The ants on stilts went about 5 meters too far before stopping to search for the nest, whereas the stumpy ants stopped about 5 meters too short […] (Control ants got back home just fine.) After the modified ants were returned to the nest, they were able to go out and get back home just as accurately as normal ants, which should be the case if they’re keeping track of the number of steps.

It’s the Challenger 2 Main Battle Tank of course!

Bogos binted?

“Welcome to Applebee’s! Would you like apples or bees?”

“Bees?”

“HE PICKED THE BEES!” chefs angrily shake jars of bees

He says what everyone’s thinking!

34 bucks for some fabric and Velcro. For probably $20 I could make multiple pairs of them.

From the thumbnail, I thought this was some cursed gravy and shrimp pizza. I was getting ready to throw fists for committing such a crime against humanity.

Thankfully, it’s actually some good looking food.

In about half of the states, that meets the threshold for a charge of felony theft. If they could count the full $1500 as a theft, (instead of $1485), it would qualify as felony theft in all but six states.

I don’t know enough about the legal side to know if it could be pursued as theft though.

Had a quick look around.

Assuming they were not trying to hit the RV, the charge would be something like, reckless endangerment or reckless conduct. If a person had died, it would turn into negligent homicide.

I think it’s a Tumblr post that contains a collage of the news article, wolf picture, and a section of the 4chan post.

This is two pages, with the left page being first.

My guess is a 3D movie mixed with a 6DoF motion setup. 9D still sounds stupid though.

I would use it for like 1 game on the quest store and more portable/wireless VR on PC. Even though my Index, is superior in almost every way, an easy headset to give to a visitor would be nice.

I probably wouldn’t pay $200 for one, but if a friend was getting rid of one for $50-100 I would likely snatch it up.

Pasting the first section of the article because of the stupid anti-adblocker on Mobile:

• Shinobi Warfare’s developer is rewarding players for positive reviews, violating Steam’s terms of service agreement.
• The controversial practice was revealed by a Reddit user, leading to concerns about inauthentic reviews flooding the game.
• Despite reports to Steam support, Shinobi Warfare continues to face backlash for questionable tactics and content appropriation.

Shinobi Warfare, a 2D turn-based RPG multiplayer game, is being called out by Steam users after it was discovered that the developer has been rewarding players with in-game currency for leaving a positive review. The lucrative reward has led to the game receiving an ‘overwhelmingly positive’ review badge, but goes against the platform’s terms of service agreement.

The discovery was made by Reddit user Glavurdan, who took to the Steam subreddit yesterday to reveal their findings. The post has multiple images of the questionable practice, with the most notable being on the Shinobi Warfare Discord server, where an admin on the server offered players 1,000 in-game gems to leave a positive review.
