Aww, the cat is napping in the ejection seat of the ViperPit 🤩 Now where am I supposed to play now? It’s my free evening. 🤓

Today we player all together on the 50″ TV in the living room from the [Linux powered] Steam Deck. We used the Viture USB-C adapter, so the Steam Deck didn’t discharge, attached an OTG cable and an ancient USB hub so we could connect our zoo of accumulated controllers. This way we could all play together the Windows game GoGo Town in early access 😁 What a time to be alive.

🔥 Hell Yes! #X4Foundations added #OpenTrack UDP support for native #HeadTracking under #Linux and I can finally talk about it 🤓 Yes! Yes! 🚀 🎥 I was to happy about it that I even did a recording while I had a bad cold and was hoarse just to show it off: https://makertube.net/w/wo4zAJiTFLeg8t2o93MLpL or https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rgOkGwMShT0 ✍ Took a while but it’s now in the open beta for 7.50 https://steamcommunity.com/games/392160/announcements/detail/4485117301459255318 It’s great to see another company embracing open standards and care for their niche gamers too ❤️ #GamingOnLinux #LinuxGaming

Cat doing #cats things.

This one flew under my radar so far (haha, sorry): Rescue the civilians, race the clock, and raze the enemy in MH-Zombie, the world’s only helicopter arcade simulator! Three flight physics modes, three difficulty modes, and a tutorial mode provide a stepped learning curve and wider accessibility to realistic helicopter flight. https://store.steampowered.com/app/1429350/MHZombie The reason this came to my attention is because it’s one of the few games that [just] implemented #headTracking via UDP e.g. available by #OpenTrack (and various others). This is great because it doesn’t force people to jump the hoops of #TrackIR, which is only supported for Windows…

Today the little one asked about video editing again. She really wants to make videos. This isn’t the first time as well and I do remember her stop motion mini videos years ago. The new smart phone also has various recording and post production possibilities – albeit limited – that she is playing around with a lot lately using her own drawings. This time she showed up with a game recording where she played some mobile game together with a school friend. They used Signal and headphones for voice and played together via internet while her phone recorded all of…

I totally love this. So in Flight Of Nova some players noticed that some stars in the distance looked not like stars and started venturing out and after a 10h realtime flight they managed to crash on another planetary 😄 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Fih4peTebyk This is the next attempt holding enough reaction mass back to survive re-entry and do a proper landing too. I love this level of nerdism. And I so hope they get to name that bugger 😄

Wow. The peeps at #FlightOfNova “found” a planet and reached it live on Twitch after a ~10h flight: https://www.twitch.tv/videos/2294019904 Insane 🤓 😍 I so hope that the player “Heuristik” gets to name that bugger 🤣

I totally missed the memo but apparently there is a Linux version of #GameGlass for a while now: https://support.gameglass.gg/en/articles/9351904-installing-gameglass-hub-on-linux * Ubuntu 22.04+ * Linux Mint 21.2+ * Fedora 39+ Not a fan of GameGlass (I prefer my switches and dials, as you may know) but it’s probably of interest for other #homeCockpit builders. #SimPit #Gaming #GamingOnLinux #LinuxGaming #StarCitizen #EliteDangerous
