@nisshiy @strange_info Thank you for the translation, it was super helpful!

Finally, フラクタル @fractal_2023, with amazing vocals layered on very creative playing.

For anyone visiting Tokyo, I strongly recommend checking out the local indie music scene. I had a blast yesterday at Ogikubo club Doctor. A short 🧵 with pictures and videos, and apologies for the iffy camera work. (I was trying to focus on the music...)

@goofyeighteen @strange_info Third was 明暮 / AKeKuRe @akkr_jp, continuing the theme of showing how much great sound you can get from a two-person band. (And thanks for the shout out to the visitor, ちょっと恥ずかしでした 😳)

@fractal_2023 Apologies in case I messed up the Twitter threading, doing my best using a Steam Deck as a laptop replacement...

[Klaus Weidner @klausweidner]

@fractal_2023 The music was amazing, and the performers were all very talented and passionate.

I found the event through Tokyo Gig Guide:

@fractal_2023 Same-day events show up in the "past gigs" section which was a bit confusing. Probably because the site is intended for making reservations, and it's too late for that.

@slipster216 @TylerGlaiel I love that it still works - I've been keeping my Xbox 360 connected as a dedicated Rock Band machine 🤘

@ZenOfDesign Baldur's Gate 3 has a nice feature for pack rats, hold down the A button to add all nearby interactable objects to a search list. Be careful though, it apparently uses 2D proximity and the character will happily jump into an abyss to reach an object that's far below.

[Klaus Weidner @klausweidner]

@Tojiro I am interested to try it, but feel free to save it for someone who posts more :-)

[Klaus Weidner @klausweidner]

@VRNima I'd say almost all, it doesn't seem possible to use it with headphones other than earbuds. That may be intentional since a goal seems to be not isolating the user from the environment. Would sound leakage from the built-in speakers get annoying in a shared office?

WebXR Plane Detection + Rapier.js #threejs

@Gpryu @ZenOfDesign Creating a movie theater experience for watching a movie in VR is fine. But having to walk your avatar from room to room to find one that's showing a movie you want to see would be a pointless complication. That sounds way too much like "Community"'s VR user interface episode.

We’ll be discontinuing Moonrider (https://t.co/pbGrc4Pd1k) at the end of Dec unless someone sponsors cloud costs. Not much but adding up over time. We’ve been giving it away for free for 3+ years. 5-7k DAUs, 80-100k MAUs and 16 min avg. session all VR. DM if wanna help @aframevr

[Klaus Weidner @klausweidner]

@ZenOfDesign I'd expect that quite a few movie enthusiasts upgraded their home theater setup during COVID, so they'd already have a good-enough viewing experience for anything short of a true spectacle. (Bone-rattling subwoofers aren't very compatible with living in an apartment.)
