"Ayo, this one's fire... And by fire I mean that's the sensation you get in your ass after using it"

Rowing machine manufacturers really must have banded together and agreed "let's create the most uncomfortable seat experience possible"

[Rory @roryethomson]

And yet I row

[Rory @roryethomson]

Both link cable and air link are intermittent at best and I often have to play a dance of reconnecting and rebooting my machine and the device to get it to work

[Rory @roryethomson]

Any other #VR developers noticed a significant decline in the quality of the development experience on #MetaQuest in the last half year or so? I swear with each software update, this ecosystem gets more and more difficult to work with.

@OutoftheboxP The worst part is that there's no indication as to what is wrong with an installation. It either begins packaging, or points to the android setup guide if something is missing

[Rory @roryethomson]

@OutoftheboxP I think it has improved a lot since they moved away from NVPACK. I had to set it up on a bunch of machines in our office and created a guide that covered all of the things that could go wrong but there still seems to be unique problems with each installation process.

@Profergusional Oh holy moly that is gold

@DRTdesigns Tell em to bring out the whole ocean

[Rory @roryethomson]

Quite frankly feeling like an absolute TANK after this yesterday

@JenMsft This looks incredibly helpful, thank you so much!

Society if windows fucking told me what is preventing me from deleting the folder

[Rory @roryethomson]

Bonus challenge: make it function with multiple user accounts.

Top tip: you cannot

Society if Android Studio and Unreal Engine played nicely together
